THE CUBANS' CHANCES

While it is not probable that the in
surgent army will capture Havana by
force of arms, it is very likely that
only short time will elapse bsfors it
takes possession of The city in differ
ent and less bloody way. It is very
apparent that the end of Spanish rule
in Cuba is near. What the insurgents
will not do General Fever in Cuba and
General Deficiency in Spain will ac-
complish. While the insurgents, being
acclimated, seem comparatively safe
from the fevers which at times are
prevalent in the "Gem of the Antilles"
the soldiers of the land of Ferdinand
and Isabella succumb to them readily.
Since the campaign against the Gu
bans com menced the mortality has
been tremendous among the Span
iards, but it has not been the mortality
Spanish ranks has been doue in the
hospital.
In addition to the inability of the
Spanish soldiery to withstand certain
climatic influences of Cuba, to say
nothing of the machetes of the pa
triotic Cubans, there is another favor
able to the cause of the rebellion, and
that is the inability of Spain to stand
the enormous expense of trying to put
down the insurrection. Spsin's treas
ury is good deal more depleted than
our gold reserve, while her credit is not
nearly as good as that of this country.
Maintaining an army of 1000 men in
Cuba in an apparently vain endeavor
to suppress the insurrection. is rather
expensive business, and is calculated
to call for sum of money vastly IN
excess Of what the government will OBJ
! tain in revenue from an island which
has so thoroughly suffered from the
devastation and demoralizati Of war
as Cuba has. If the Cubans will keep
the government soldiers bottled up in
the vicinity of Havana, and retain
measurable possession of the remain
der Of the island, time will give them
the victory. Spain will let go, simply
because she cannot continue to hold.

A PROTECTIONIST DIALOGUE

The insincerity of protectionists is
often shown in spite of their emphatic
declarations that they are in favor of
high tariffs on imported goods. Theo-
retically they are protectionists, but
practically they ara free traders. An
amusing illustration of this fact came
to the ears of HERALD representative
yesterday. In real estate Office two
prominent residents of Los Angeles
county we're discussing national ques-
tions, especially the tariff. Both we're
ardent protectionists, and both de-
clared that what this country needs
just now "to make business lively"
and "wages good" was high tariff
law. Having thus harmoniously ex-
pressed themselves, they went still
further.
Protectionist No proceeded to in
form the other man that after all he did
like to buy goods as cheap as he could
get them; that he was buying socks
for himself and family at 1913 cents a
pair; "a good article, too; as good
as socks made in this country and sold
here much higher than imported foot
coverings, yet these I buy are i'm
ported. Now, according to our theory,
we ought to buy only homemade
goods, even at higher prices; but peo-
pie won't do So"
"Of course not" said No. 2. "It's
perfectly natural for every body to buy
as cheap as possible. We all do that,
you know"
"Of course we do," responded No. l.,
and then the meeting adjourned.
If some one had ears that could hear
all that is privately said by protection
lists on the tariff question he would
probably listen to "dead loads" of in
teresting little dialogues similar to the
one here related.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS
The East Side Club Chooses Officers for Mex
Year

The East Side Club Chooses Officers for Next
Year
The East Side Cycle Club held their cleo
ton of officers last night. Nearly every
member of the club was present, and
aside from the business on hand a most
pleasant evening was spent.
For some of the positions there was little
or no opposition, but for others there was
most bitter fight. In several cases the in
cumbents were reelected to the offices
that they now hold, but when there was a
change to be made, the opposition made
things lively. However, after the election
was all over. it was found that the follow
ing gentlemen were elected to the various
positions: Harry White, president; ID. c.
McGarvin, vice-president: H. X. Blind. sec
retary and treasurer; W. W. Weir, cap
tain; Ben Tyler, first lieutenant. The
newly elected president then appoin ed
the following gentlemen to serve on the
executive committee: Don Harrison, E. C..
Dockstader, William Conklin.
After the election there was discussion
on the best time to hold the annual CEN
tury run that has been a regular institu-
ton of the club ever since its formation.
Quite discussion followed, but no regular
time was set for the event. 1t was de-
cided to hold the next club run to Santa
Monica on Sunday, January 13. and all
the members of the club are expected to
turn out.

THE CHARGES PREFERRED
Against Mary White and George Hink-
house, Her Alleged ParamOur
Eiary Arrested for Stealing Cape and 0eorg
in the Tolls on More Serious
Allegation

Mary Fl. White is in Jail on a charge of
petit larceny. The allegation is that she
stole cape.
George F. Einkhouse is i'll the same Jail
with Mary but several cells distant, on a
charge of adultery preferred against him
by Mary's husband. Hinkhouse was ar
rested last evening by Constable SlanlSer
of Pomona on a warrant and Mary was ar
rested in the af el noon by Detective Steele.
Mary White is the woman who some
weeks ago deserted her husband and some
half-grown children at Pomona and disap-
peared. 1t was not the first time that she
had been guilty of little indiscretions of
this character. Her husband had forgiven
her previous offenses. He was a hard
working man and loved his children and
his home.
When his wife disappeared the last time
he endeavored to trace her. He came to
Los Angeles and lodged complaint with
the chief of police. Glass could do nothing
for him. but he aided him to the best of
his ability.
Mrs. White went north, and short time
ago returned to Los Angeles, and it is al
legged that she took up residence with
Hinkhouse. The result was The warrant
and arrest on charge of adultery.
