IacrrIrers procured the passage of a
5unda for the destruction of tobacco
unsuited for the market; which meant
all the surplus which the factory die
not purchase, and at its own price
This wus one method of preventing
competition and raising the price, but
it led to d revolution, and, finally, to a
greater competition in Louisiana and
| Florida. Perique, a Cuban planter,
! came to Louisiana, and his name was
| given to the celebrated Perique tobac-
co; and for many years genuine Ha.
vana" and Puerto Principe" cigars
/ have been manufactured in Florida.
| Several millions of dollars are invested
in Florida and in Louisiana in tobacco
culture and the manufacture of cigars.
The tobacco is said to be as good as the
Cuban article, and, if Ia beled Havana"
the smoker is none the wiser.
The New Orleans Cubans state that
the native Cubans were generally OPP
posed to the importation of slaves, as
1t was their object to increase the
white population, and thus gradually
TevolutiOnize the country, as was done
in Texas. But, with the importation
of large numbers of wild Africans,
revolution was impossible, for the fear
Of instructions. Whenever a patriot
pronounced against Spain the Afri-
cans would rise, murder and burn prop
erty indiscriminately not knowing a
Cuban rebel from Spanish oppressor.
Furthermore, as it required govern
ment troops to keep the Africans in
their barraccoons or prisons. and to pre-
vent instruction, their presence also
had lettering effect upon the Cuban
hberators. Spain seemed to under
staud this, and managed to keep the
population nearly equally divided, with
a large contingent of soldiers in the
background. Furthermore, she de-
rived profit from their importation.
But since the abolition of slavery a
system of peonage has existed, which
is even worse, for when the peon has
worked out his debt he is cast aside,
like an old street-car horse, to starve
or die. And the peon is worked much
harder and whipped more severely
than when slave, for there is no in
terest in preserving him a property.
The Cuban Hberators" have lib
Grated the African slaves, but, under
the present system of peonage, have
enslaved themselves-or, rather, all
Cubans Of the working class.
During the second quarter of the
present century there were from fifty
to one hundred vessels annually en-
gagged in the African slave trade, large
~ Spanish, with few Portuguese and
American vessels. English factories
supplied the manacles with which the
Africans were handcutfed and chained
in the prison ships. Thus the south
was supplied, and the year that Texas |
gained her independence special ship |
ment Of IL, 900 was landed on the Texas |
coast.
Thus, it will be seen, Spain intro
duced slaves into America. It began |
with Diego Columbus, brother of the |
great Christopher, who imported to !
Cuba 500 Africans to work gold mines.
Then it was found that tho climate was

with the companions of the military or

ent states, took measures to provide a
suitable monument to his memory.
Rear Admiral r. w. Meade, president
of the pioneers association, and John
D. Townsend are Of the committee hav-
ing the monument in charge. The To-
cation of the plot in which it will be
placed is one of the most comma nding
and beautiful of any along the entire
stretch Of the Hudson river. 1t is stu

and other points far up and down the

The talented and fortunate young
sculptures, Clio Hinton HunelSer. whose
( st great work this statue will be, was
a pupil of st. Gaudens, although before
she advanced to his class she had for
years been under the totelage of her
mother, Mrs. Howard Hinton, from
whom she inherited her talent for mod
cling. Sue was born at Rhinebeck-on-
the-Hudson about twentyfour years
ago, and is the wife of James G.
Huneker, of New York. In her studio
in Carnegie building grand piano
will be moved into corner and the
chandeliers removed entirely to make
room for the immense work the sculp-
.tress will build to the ceiling, and
which she expects to complete by next
fall.

terview, and well remember the little
cherries patted in my hands and then

had seen my mother do in her work,
and later at six years l attempted TO

Some curious details have been pub

During the London season the prince
consumes two frock coats per month
and he uses about dozen dress suits
annually. He has an immense number
OF ordinary suits of clothes and never
wears one more than two Or three

sand DolleHA.

The Associated Pioneers of the Terri
torial Days of California, who recently
solicited competitive designs for the
Gen. Fremont statue. have selected as
most appropriate and artistic that sub
mitted by Mrs. Clio Hinton Huneker, of
this city, says the New York Herald.
In specifying as to the nature of the
design the committee requested that
the story OF the great rock on Fremont
peak, where Gen. Fremont engraved
the cross as symbol of the Christian
faith. should be told in an artistic and
impressive manner. Designs were sub
mitted by several well-known sculptors
in various sections of the country, and
the subject matter of the design was
expressed in various ways, but none
was as simply and at the same time as ar
tistically carried out as Mrs. Huneker's.
The figure of Gen. Fremont is to be Of
bronze eight feet in height, and mounted
on a stone pedestal of naturally rough
rock, fourteen feet in height, with
bronze panel, twelve feet long, at its
base. On the panel is a bas-relief of
the exploring party. headed by the
Pathfinder making their way to the
spot where Gen. Fremont carved the
cross. This scene commentaries Ere
nont's first expedition across the conti-
nent in 1s4a, when the explorers made
the ascent of what has since been named
Fremont peak, now IN Wyoming. and
which by act Of legislature has been re-
served as a state park. Returning to
their camp of deposit near great rock
Gen. Fremont wrote:

fuence of wind and rain"
The remains Of Gen. Fremont were
inferred in Rockland cemetery, near
Piermont, on the Hudson river, on No
vember % of last year, under the aus
pices Of the Associated Pioneers of the
