Providence. Il. l.. Sept "A fire broke out
at Narragansett Pier this evening that soon
grew to alarming proportions BY 10 O'Clock
one block had beer consumed. and it seemed
for a time as though the whole place might be
destroyed by II O'Clock. however the fire had
been got under cOntrOl.
The fire destroyed the Central Block. wooden
structure opposite the station. and badly dam
aged Halcyon Hall. the adjoining structure.
The fire started about ?3D o'clock. and by I'D
o'clock the Central Block vas a roaring furnace.
The local Fire Department was unable to cope
with the flames and assistance was summoned
from Wakefield and Peacedale. The station
at time thought To be doomed. but the
firemen thoroughly drenched 1t with water.
Fortunately the wind from the east. ana
the flames were blown away from the settled
section OF the village BY IL o'clock the nre
was under control.
The loss will probably be less than Slo.H".

part Of the annual revenues Of planters,
miners and manufacturers has been
taken for taxes, and at length it has
found its way into the ever depleted
Golfers Of the home government at Mad

the beginning Of the revolution in 1895,
when there commenced the devastation
which has cost Cuba so dearly.
The chief products Of the island are
sugar and tobacco, and the amount an
nually realized from these products dur
ing the years just preceding the last mp
rising has been, on the average, So, 000,-
900 pesos (dollars), and the revenue from
mineral sources has been grossly esti-
mated at $500, 900 pesos. The amounts
derived from other sources (including
cotton, Of which good deal is pro-
duced) were considerable, but these
were the most important. And just here,
as an instance Of the slumbrous apathy
that has resulted from years Of hopeless
subjugation and practical serfdom, the
opening up Of the iron mines in the prov

end Of the island, may profitably be cit

covered nearly century ago, never felt
the blow of pick until 1888, when a
party of New York capitalists determin-

Cubal It is a name that now is ia
miliar to every household in all the civ
ilized earth. The suffering of its people,
the dying groans Of its tortured patriots,
have formed the minor key of sorrow in
the worlds grand song of progress. And
yet in spite Of the fact that it has long
held the interest and sympathy of fair
minded people. no land is so little known
and so greatly underestimated. The
traveller who glimpsos for the first time
her marvellous shores is overcome with
establishment at the panorama of i'm
mense possibility that lies shimmering
before him, for even now, her richest
vestments shredded, her body bleeding
under the violent hands Of an unnatural
parent, Cuba remains the indestructible
Pearl of the Antilles. with such wealth
in her soil and under it as no earthly
power can take away.
As everybody knows, the development
of Cuba had been from its earliest &C.
cupancy retarded and at times practi-
cally stopped by the rule of Spain. Soon
after the foot of Columbus touched her
virgin soil the dark cloud q oppression
began to hover over her, and it was only
by the sheer force of her innate worth,
coupled with the necessities of her in
habitapts, that her glorious products be-
came, even to limited extent, avail
able.
When in 1911 Columbus sent his son
Diego, with number Of colonists, to
Cuba, the big island was speedily set
tied, and measurements of it's proper
lions were made by a party Of official
agramensores (surveyors), and these
measurements were of such accuracy
that they remain as standards today.
The length of the island was found to
be in round numbers GOO miles; its
width at its narrowest point, 81 miles,
and at its widest point, III miles. This
gives to the long, shark shaped island an
area of approximately $4,000 square
miles, or nearly the size Of the state Of
Pennsylvania.
In view of the necessity Of the extern
sive exploration which was incident to
this comprehensive survey, it seems
passing strange that no more of Cuba 8
richness was discovered and utilized for
the development Of the strength and
value of the new colony This derelic-
ton, however, was probably not the
fault of the really vigorous and pro-
gressive adherents of the son of the
great dscoverer. Indeed, from a careful
study of history. though exact dates are
not to be obtained, it would seem that
it was soon after it's colonization that
the greed Of the mother country began

beautiful, the rich, the wonderful, has
been little more than bloody abattoir
wherein the lives and hopes of q weak
but marvelously courageous people have
been periodically sacrificed.
But the immortal longing for liberty
could not be crushed OF f the breast Of
the sons Of these patriots, ard they, in
turn, have made the so-~ struggle But
the results of these heroic -fro' baGeme
in time of more and more Importance to
the people of Cuba and less and less
satisfactory to the administration at
MADRID, and thus, from years of weak
ness strength grew. so that instruction
came to mean revolution, and there
dawned upon the sight of the striving
patriot the splendid vision of blood
bought but free republic.
But people know more of the struggles
Of Cuba than they do of Cuba itself Ev-
cry civilized inhabitant of the globe has
followed with feelings of indignation
and pity the story of Cuba's suffering.
All the instructions, the "Separatist
wars" and the other vain but valiant
efforts Of the Cubans to throw off the
Spanish yoke have appealed to his chiv-
airy and wrung his heart with grief and
rage but, as rule, he is as ignorant Of
the scene of these struggles as if they
had occurred in the viewless air. And
yet, in the comparatively small compass
of its watery boundaries, there are con.
centrated greater variety of natural re-
sources than are to be found in any 9TH
or island, state, province or country be-
meath the sun.
This may sound extravagant, but the

statement is verified by all reliable sta
tistics and unpreJudiced witnesses. And
when those who cavil come to reckon up
its advantageous millions of acres of
soil, richer than any in the United
States, that will grow anything from a
potato to a pineapple; Its abundant
yields of sugar and tobacco; its tremen-
dous forests of mahogany and other
precious woods; its uplands, upon which
are grown every product Of the temper
ate zone, and its fertile valleys, from
which luxuriantly spring the most lus-
cious fruits of the tropics; its mines Of
iron and copper and manganese its hun
dreds of beautiful and excellent harbors,
and the soft, healthful atmosphere of
perpetual summer that forms the set
ting for this peerless "Pearr'-their
doubts will be swallowed up in convic-
ton.
A Complex Study.
A study of this wonderful island is
complex from any standpoint The
geographer, with the best map in his
possession, will find new inlets, the nat
uralist will add to his collection, and
the mineralogist will revel in novelties,
and even the blase cosmopolitan will
recover in Cuba the zest which had gone
out of his life. And all this is merely
to say that great deal Of the accepted
data with reference to Cuba is either in
exact Or wholly faulty. This, Of course,
like everything else that works injury
to the island as to its relation to the
rest of the world, is due to the auto
cratic and ignorant methods Of the
Spanish authorities, the tendency of
whose discipline" is toward handi-
Gaping every public spirited enterprise
and retarding everything that is not
done directly in the interest of the hon
or and glory and revenue Of the power
across the sea, for whom this poor.
downcast people have been working out
what has heretofore appeared to be a
life subsidy.
Notwithstanding all these difficult
ties, the enterprise of Americans and
others foreign to the soil has led native
industry in the right direction, and its
commerce has grown in the teeth of riot
and instruction. The normal popula-
ton, 100, 900, composed of something
near 100000 persons of Spanish de-
scent, 10000 foreign whites, $4,000
Chinese and 500, 900 negroes and colored
people, is not busy throng. The loi-
tering Cuban Of today can hardly be rec
ognized as the descendant of those
sturdy pioneers of the sixteenth century
who fashioned the gigantic bastions of
Ell Castillo de Ia Fuerza-the Castle Of
Strength-but still he can be brought to
bestir himself if sufficient financial
inducement is offered. To be entirely
Just, it should be said that enterprise is
not wholly wanting, even among the
laboring classes. And so capital, which
was at first largely American, was put
to work, and as result cities have
sprung up, large plantations have been
put under cultivation, mines have been
opened up, and sugar, tobacco and the
hundreds of other valuable products Of
the island have been made to enrich it.
AS is we'll known. a large and usurious

to cripple the enterprise and mar the
destiny of the new government that was
forming on this new soil.
Cuba's Great Grievance.
The grievance of Cuba, which has
lasted all these years, dates from this
early period. 1t was, in its nature and
operation, the parallel of the one which
brought about the bloody but glorious
birth of our own independence-that is
TO say, taxation without representation.
But there was q vast difference in the
situation of the Cubans. While our Rev
olutionist fathers were vastly inferior
to the enemy in point of numbers, their
proportion to the whole number of fight
ing Englishmen who could be landed on
our shores was not of such smallness as
to preclude all hope, whereas the mere
handful Of Cubans were so overwhelm-
ingly overmatched by the arr ed forco
that Spain could muster as to be prac-
tically in her power after the first dem
onstration.
And so there have been insurrection
after insurrection and defeat after de-
feat, and the consequent horrible butch
cries of retribution. until Cuba. the
