Eome of the Things That Made Them

strangers, and men with no permanent
interest in it are placed to rule and rob,

cent. of the holders of Office in Cuba
are Spaniards, and the 25 per cent. OF
Cubans have small places. and the
charge is that they have to send money
Ito Madrid TO get them. The Spanish,
oficeholders do not stay long, and the
certainty that their stay is short in
creases their rapacity. Many of them
stop less than a year, thousands only
three months, and they carry money
home that Cubans should earn and
spend in Cuba This Spanish Office
holding business is certainly not On In

TRY; indeed, is harmful and hateful on
both sides of the sea. There is no mis-
government anywhere more unfortu'
nate, and closely studied it is as iniu.
rious to the Spaniards as to the Cubans
1T Is like the curse of slavery that smote
the master as well as the slave.
Another feature is that the business
houses in the cities of Cuba are flied
by Spanish clerks, and thousands ol
other places are taken by them at very
low salaries for the purpose of securing
by service in the militia for three years
immunity from conscription in Spain
with five years in the army. This Is the
foundation OF the force Of 10000 Span

no pay and are taxed in petty ways
for ever-recurring functions, and thus

NOTHING EQUALS THE OREGON
Nsvies OF the World Can show No Such
Speed and Behavior.

Santa Barbara, Cal, May 14.-In her
| official trial trip today the battleship
| Oregon covered sixty-two knots. the Of
| fetal government course, in 8 hours, 40
minutes and - seconds. making the
magnificent average speed for the time
| over the course Of 1878 knots, or 1885
| miles an hour.
This speed places her in the very front
rank of ships of her class in the navies
OF the world, beating the Massachusetts,
which had a record of 1915 knots, and
| the Indiana, with a record OF 1851 knots.
BY her great performance today, the
Oregon has earned for her builders, the
Union Iron works, premium Of
$l75, OO0
| The big ship started over the line at
Sill a. m. and reached Point Concep-
| ton at 10 o'clock, making an average
speed Of 100 knots. Fifteen minutes
and fourteen seconds were consumed in
/ turning and an average OF 16-4S knots
was made ON the return run. She cross
ed the finish line al 11:54. The average
run both ways was 1913 knots, with a
maximum for six miles Of 1884 knots,
while running under 160 pounds steam
pressure, the engines making Us to $50
revolutions with much less than the al
| lowed air pressure After the trial the
| Organ went through maneuvres for
three hours, all of which time she be-
hayed beautifully.
! Irving NJ. Scott, president OF the
| Union Iron works, in speaking Of the re-
| suit said:
THE trial today makes the Organ
absolutely unrivaled among the iron
| clads of the world. She beats the Mas
sacnusetts for defense and offense and
| only needed a trial TO prove that she
can carry these powers at speed
greater than any of her rivals. The av-
erage speed of 1913 knots practically
| for six hours, shows beyond question
her ability OF sustaining great speed
/ for long periods. In every respect her
| engine performance was without an
| equal"
! Soon after her return to San Francis
| CO, when completed. she will be pre-
/ scented with a $4,000 silver dinner set
/ by the state Of Oregan in honor and ap-
/ probation of the grandest battleship
! in the world.
