The RaZa Latina newspaper intimates
that Manager Verona of the National Bank,
who is a Cuban, might use the banks vast

patriots. The suggestion Is ridiculed in
business circles.

Of independence being secured drift to this
country. Cuba, says the Herald, would
be tie rendezvous in the future for the
MexicAl navy, and every argument Of
lace, tradition and language favors Cuba
as Mexican state rather than an Ameri-
can territory. AS a state of the Mexican
union, CUBA would have her own rule and
her own PEOPLE would govern in local at
fairs. Several other Journals here favor
the annexation Of Cuba, and popular senti-
ment Is so overwhelming in support of the
Cuban cause that the populace take fire.

A few weeks ago the Seawanhakas held a
series Of trial races to find out which beat
on this side of the water would be most
capable in defending the trophy, with the
result that Mr.. C. J: Fields Ethelwynn of
the Indian Harbor Yacht Club of Connec-
ticut found herself to be the best among
the competitors. Therefore, Ethelwynn was
selected as the defender. The course of
this first race Is three miles to windward
or leeward and return. to be sailed over
twice, making a total of twelve miles.
Spruce ", which was hauled out of The
water at Cold Spring Harbor yesterday to
be cleaned, was turned over to the Sea-
wanhaka club house this morning, and

krowl official measurer. 1t was found by
Mr. .Vslop that the English ship had

THE AMERICAS CUP.

Another Challenge for n Race I'm
1900.
LONDON. September 21.-Mr. Grant, Sec
rotary of the Royal Yacht Squadron. is
authority for the statement that Mr.. Chas
D. Rose has sent challenge to the cup
committee of the New York Yacht Club for
race for the Americas cup.
NEW YORK, September 21.-Charles
Rose. son of Sir John Rose of London
has cabled challenge for a race in 1895
to cx-Commodore James D. Smith, chair
man of the cup committee of the New York
Yacht Club, for the Americas cup.
The challenge was turned ever to the
New York Yacht Club. 1t cannot be for
IN the proper form. According to the terms
on which the cup is held by the club, a
challenge must be sent to Its secretary
through the secretary of the club to which
the challenger belongs. and no. by an indi-
vidual. Mr.. Rose is said to be a member
of the Royal Yacht Squadron. and If he
really desires a race the techuicalities
could doubtless be arranged.
Mr.. Iselin was seen at his home at Pre-
MUM Point. He says the report from Lon
don is correct in reference to the offer Of
5000 for a race In English waters.
He received cablegram last evening
from Mr.. Laycock of London, transmitting
the offer. Mr.. Iselin replied by cable: mo
definite answer can be given at present.
Thanks"
Mr.. Iselin says there has been no busi-
ness meeting of the three owners of De-
fender since the Observation-Disclosures races.
MIR. Roses challenge has not been made
through the Royal Yacht Squadron, and
Secretary Grant Is not in possession OF any
of its details.

Why Should There Be Three Crema-
forrest

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
of citizens rights in the garbage outrages
of citi: = rights in the garbage outrages
already etrated and those about to
be inflicted NJ us, We would like to in
quire why tn, eparate locations about
Washington have been selected for crema-
tories. Whichever way the wind blows
q large section of the city will be swept
by pestiferous odors, and three localities
will be ruined as residence ne.ghborhoods,
when one abomination Of this sort is more
than other cities will tolerate within their
limits.
The locations chosen are probably ad-
vantageors to the garbage contractor and
clearly inimical to the people whose in
terests the Commissioners are appointed to
protect. The crematories being constructed
free Of cost to the contractor no question
of distance of hauling should be considered
in his favor. The interests of citizens are
paramount, no matter how far he has to
haul.
One place for cremating garbage is all that
should be accepted. Let it be well out of the
city. Let the garbage be taken there in
large tank electric cars, specially designed
for the ind in view. Such cars should be
always standing at certain stations. prefer
ably in vaults under the streets, ready to re-
ceive garbage from the carts above The
state Of things at the Atlantic City crema-
tory, as given by your correspondent in
The Star Of the 18th instant, Is a Just pic
ture OF what We may expect, except that the
affection will fall upon our city with a three
fold maiignity. AS at Atlantic City, 1t will
be found impossible to completely incinerate
the garbage, foul dumps of bottles and cans
will collect about the furnaces unconsumed
the filthy carts will stand about over night
and the vile gases from the chmneys will
poison the air for blocks around.
1t Ia to be noted here that the three
months guarantee Of satisfactory working
offered by the crematory people will be three
months OF cold weather. during which there
Is not half the amount of garbage to burn
nor Is 1t in such an offensive condition as
during the heated term. so that the test will
be anything but q fair one for The people.
Misled by so-called tests" in other
places. mere Laboratory experiments" in
garbage burning. in which the practical
difficulties of a supply irregular in guam
tity and quality have been studiously ig-
nored, the Commissioners assure us that
there will be no nuisance; but We notice
that the locations under consideration are
well removed from their own real estate,
Of which at least one of the triumvirate is
an extensive owner. Why does not he g.
lustrate his sincerity In this statement by
offering some Of his suburban property
for the first crematory instead of forcing
1t upon citizens who have no faith in the
matter and unfortunately no voice?
Now, will the Commissioners relieve tax
payers owning in the three districts about
to be depopulated? Have they an indem-
nifty which they will apply to redeem the
depreciation which must ensue in our val
ues and our rents. or will they ride over
the suffrageless owner like rough shod
tyrants? OWNER.

But think of Sunday as hot as today!
Think Of Sunday with the thermometer
standing at 96. or, possibly. 81! Think of
the trees with their leaves hanging still
and lifeless in the hot air. and the tin roofs
glowing like stoves, and the asphalt pave
ments throwing out waves Of choking heat,
and the supply of ice melting! Few cool
places can be found. The only thing to do
is to keep still and wish for better times.
Motion means even more heat than al
ready exists. Therefore. perfect composure
is the best remedy for an almost irremedial
situation.
A few recipes for keeping cool are sug-
gested just as mere pointers. as possible
aids to tide over the hot Sunday that is
promised
vegetable family of "Palmaceae" Hire
small boy to wave this violently at your
perspiring fern. Keep still and imagine
that the wind is blowing at the rate of
mountain. Obtain a quantity of CONCEALED
water Break it into small pieces. Lay
number of these in towel of suitable di-
mansions and wrap the whole carefully and
tightly around the head. Think of the arc
tic regions and persuade yourself that you
are an explorer. and you have just come in
sight Of the north pole.
More Suggestions.

If possible-and an order for a supply Of
H2O through which COZ has been forced,
accompanied by selected favors. When
this las arrived drink 1t quickly. ere the
efrervescence has all occurred. Then shut
the eyes and think that the entire Atlantic
ocean is composed Of soda water and you
are about to drink it dry.
This evening, before the close of business
hours, purchase from some son Of United
Italy several dozen single fruits Of the
Citrus Limonum. When the heat and
thirst are sufficient select the largest Of

them open and squeezing them with
