CUBA LOST To SPAIN.
The Conflict as Viewed by Foreign
Residents.

The Conflict as Viewed by Foreign
Residents.
NEW York, Nov. 25.-The officers of
the steamer City of Washington, which
arrived today from Havana, say that
Havana is in the worst possible state of
fear. The residents are momentarily
The prisons are full, business is at q
standstill and merchants loyal to Spain
are preparing to leave the Country.
a passenger named j. w. Brown, an
Englishman, recently released from a
Cuban prison, where he spent a month
for shouting in the streets of Havana
"Cuha Libre," and who was expelled
week ago by order of Captain General
Weyler, was one of the passengers.
Brown said his treatment by the Span
ish authorities was brutal in the ok
treme, and that, if he had not had
papers proving him to be British sub
ject, he would have been shot or would
still be in a Spanish Jail. He had been
four years in Havana, and is now on his
way home.
"Cuba, in my mind, is lost to Spain.
The latter country is now on her beam
ends, and the storm on the little island
will sooH engulf her," he said.
Brown declared that no political pris-
oners in Cuba knew what they were ar
rested for until they had been in prison
some time. AS to his own case, he did
not remember having given the Span
lard any just cause for his arrest.
'.Let me tell you something of Wey-
ler's SYSTEM" he said. ''Honore Lame
was captured by General Maceo, of the
Cuban army, about nine months ago.
He was detained but a few days. After
his liberation Laine returned to his
home in Havana. La,er he was arrest
ed at the nstigation of personal
enemy, a particular friend of Weyler.
Several months after his arrest he was
tried by jury composed of WeyTer's
own creatures and declared innocent.
Did that make any difference? Not a
bit. He is still held a prisoner, and his
case has been referre.t to Madrid. Wey
ley showed his disp1easure toward the
court that declared Laine innocent by
sending its officers into the field as a
punishment. Mr.. Laine is a French
man, and is trying to call his case to the
attention of the French government.
"Weyler has had many foreigners ar
rested. He detests them. Most of
these prisoners do not see the light of
day. Finally they drop out Of sight. 1t
saves the cost of trial. The poor Cuban
gets short shrift. 1t is sufficient to know
that he is sympathizer in the CD suse.
This is his death-warrant."
Mr.. Brown related many instances oil
alleged cruel les by the Spaniards. DIR.
Taylor, another passenger, says that
Spain's Cause is LOST, and that General
Weyler has 10000 sick soldiers on his

Samples.


Careful inquiry at the leading dry
goods stores in this city shows that but
few of them give samples indiscrimi-
nately nowadays. AL Of them prefer to
send samples by mail. The average GUS

goods will be forwarded to her. This is

is generally understood among dry goods

The Science of smiles.

The gentle art of smiling is the latest
thing which science has been meddlina
with, tracing back to its very beginning
and pointing out with something like q
sneer how this facial expression first
came to adorn the face Of primeval man.
Mr.. Edward Cuyer, in recent leo
ture in Paris before the Societe dan
thropologie, stated that our smiles. how
ever winning to outward seeming, are
simply records Of our very remote an
cestors' selfshness, greediness and pug
nacity. Il 49, @sL t.S3As = : II =
The passion that dominated all others
in primitive man was tho desire fo1
food. The animals Of thoeeylays were
huge and fierce, and the implements Of
hunting few and crude. The naked
hunter. therefore, was forced to GO Oft
times with an empty stomach, = but
when he. made kill he gorged himself
with meat. The anticipation Of the ap-
preaching satisfaction Of his hunger
caused him to open his mouth and show
his teeth, partly through pleasure and
partly through an instructive impulse
to get himself in readiness for the inn
mediate slowing away. Of his food.
With the progress Of civilization,
however, this facial contortion grew to
be caused by other pleasurable things.
and then came the sound Of audible
laughter.
The graceful smile of the hostess,
therefore, as she receives her guests il
merely an inherited expression Of salts
faction derived from a savage progen-
itor who anticipated good time when
he had people to dinner-or for dinner.
Again, the open smile Of more open
pleasure is simply survival Of the gap
ing mouth with which the semisimian
prepared to tackle roast grandmother. -

BIG CALIFORNIA FORTUNES

BALI of Those Who Inherited Them Are
Penniless.
California has long had reputation
as the home of the bonanza king, and a
recently issued document, based on the
records Of the San Francisco probate
court, tells an interesting story of the
contests and entanglements which have
massed about the last testament Of many
famous millionaires and the final dispo-
sition of the vast sums they left behind
them. The document gives the history
Of So wills, disposing of $175, 600, 900.
About 400 heirs divided that vast sum,
and today nearly half of that number
are penniless again, and only few
have succeeded in adding to their in
heritance.
The average number Of persons pro-
vided for in each will was ten, though
in number Of instances, the most not
able of which was the case Of Florence
Blythe, the entire estates passed. into
the hands of single heirs. The compar-
atively small estate of Kate Johnson,
which was appraised at 81, 1850, 900,
reached more heirs than any other, the
number on the list being 25. while the
81, 600, 900 Of Thomas Blythe went to
the one child, Florence, after celebrat-
ed trial. The estate of Maria Coleman
was valued at 81, 757, 900, and it went
equally to three heirs. Charles Crock
er's $22, 200, 900 reached six persons,
while Mary Ann Crocker's $11, 1888, 657
went share and share alike to four of
the six who got Charles Crocker's larger
fortune.
Peter Donahue's $s,7os, s1a went in
equal parts to three heirs. Mrs. Theresa
Fairs 81, 693, $50 went to three persons
Charles L. Fair. Miss Virginia Fair
and Mrs Herman Oelrichs-while Will
liam P. Fuller distributed his $1,771,-
262 to seven persons of his name.
Emanuel Goldstein's $1,000, 900 went
to six heirs. George Hearst's So, 1888, 1877
went in equal parts to his wife and son,
while Walter S. Hobart's $5,273, 366
went in thirds to his three children
Walter Hobart, Miss Ella Hobart and
Mrs. Winthrop Lester. Mary Hopkins
$40, 694, 762 went to two persons. Rob-
ert @. Johnson's 81, 10, $50 went to l.
persons in almost equal portions.
There are few exceptions to the
general course Of estates, as in the case
of Lick and Stanford. The 5000, 900
of the Lick estate went chiefly to one
heir and to a number of trusts Of pub
lie nature created before James Lick's
death. Charles Mclaughlin left his
So. 476, 900 to his widow. while Alexan-
der Montgomery's SO, 1856, $40 went to
three heirs Daniel T. Murphy's $2,-
O41, $40 went to six heirs. William S.
O'Brien's SO, 655, $50 reached eight per-
sons. James Phelan left an even mil
lion, which reached four persons in
shares and number Of small requests.
A. J. Pope's $1,66O, 900 reached four
heirs. Washington Ryer left 81, 276, 1913
to 10 persons. Leland Stanford's ST.
$685. went to four persons and the
trust for the university. Denver Field
