A ADDITIONAL ENTRY GOES.

Of Interest To Them.
The Duluth Evening Herald sets
forth the provisions Of the recent de-
cision of the secretary of the interior
department, which is Of great i'm
portance to homesteaders in general.
1t says: Section of the act Of March
2, 1889, authorizes those who have
partially exercised their homestead
privilege to make an additional entry
of public land so as to make a full
quota Of 160 acres. This section says:
Section g. That every person en-
titled, under the provisions OF the
homestead laws. to enter homestead
who has heretofore complied with or
shall hereafter comply with the con-
ditions of said laws, and who shall
have made his final proof hereunder
for a quantity Of land less than 100
acres, and received the receivers flnal
receipt therefor, shall be entitled I'M
der said laws to enter as a personal
right, and not asssgnable, by legal
subdivisions OF the public lands OF the
United States subject to homestead
entry, 80 much additional land as ad-
ded to the quantity previously so en-
tered by him shall not exceed I60
acres"
This section also provides that the
person making the additional entry
shall reside upon and cultivate the
land so entered. Heretofore the sec
tion has been construed as applying
only to those who had partially exer-
cised their homestead privilege before
the passage of the act, but the decis-
ion now promulgated overrules the
former opinion and holds that the
section equally applies TO all who
took less than $50 acres after the date
of the act. As foon as the district
land offices have been officially noti-
fed by the department, the new rul-
ing will go into effect. Every person
who has heretofore made final proof
of less than 100 acres under the home
stead laws will be entitled to an ad-
ditional entry. There are many such
cases in the Duluth district, and the
new decision will probably result in
many additional entries being made
here. It will be noticed, however,
that section only applies to cases in
which the applicant for the addition
al right has made final proof under
his original entry.

DON'T FORGET
The Picnic. Concert and Ball Given by Ely
Lodge no. eco Next Friday.

Il
Lodge no. geo Next Friday.
The event OF the season will take
place next Friday. The arrangements
as perfected by the various commit
tees promise an enormous day for the
citizens of this city and the visitors.
The days sport and amusement will
begin at 8 o'clock in the morning
when the members of the order will
form at the corner Of Second avenue
and Chapman street and headed by
the City Band will march to the Ball
park where hotly contested ball
game between opposing mines of lodge
members will take place. At the park
also at this time will be run series
of bicycle races for prizes ranging all
the way from fifty cents to two dol
lars. The ball game and the races
are expected to occupy the time until
noon.
At I2:30, BUSES will be in readiness
at the Drug store corner to convey all
TO Sandy Point where one of those
delightful and entertaining picnics
will be held. Plenty Of amusement
and an abundance of good things to
eat have been here provided: enough
for the entire afternoon. Foot races
for both the fat and lean, old and
young, tub races, canoe races and all
other kinds of races will be run for
prizes. During the intervals between
the events the City band viii render
choice selections from an Al program
prepared by them and thealadies will
serve ice cream and cake and other
refreshments provided in abundance.
The BUSES will also again be in readi-
ness for the return to the city in the
evening; the trip to and from the
Poirt being free of charge.
At 100 the doors will open at the
Opera house for the concert given
under the auspices Of the lodge by the
Hoelscher Concert Company. The
concert begins at $50 sharp, without
fail, therefore come early and avoid
the late rush. This is one of the best
companies travelling, the company
only holding forth in the large cities,
but, the Odd Fellows being DESTROYS
of furnishing only the best, have en-
gagged them for the evening Of August
10Th. and according to preceding
reputation have secured treat. The

them. From our point Of view, in stead of granting Cuba self-govern- ment they are only q m0ckery The new governing body Is to have tWenty-one members elected by pop alar vote, six chosen by the corpora tions and eight appointed by the crown. Now the restrictions on suffrage are so cunningly cOntrived that only a small per cent. of the people vote. perhaps not over one seventh of the proportion that have the right of suffrage in Spain. There fore, Of the twenty-ene elective mem bers, probably not more than one third would be native Cnbans The majority would go against them and the old abuses would go on as before. The Governor-General's power to appoint all high officials, the condition that the tariff shall allow q protective margin of twenty per cent. to Spanish goods against foreign goods, and the government s power TO adopt measures against these reforms when needed to sup press rehellious movements" all prove that the control of the island is to be Spanish, not Cuban.-Our Times.

CONFINEMENT


 Cuba is divided into tmee intend encfos. or provinces: The Western, including Havana, Matanzas aud Cardenas: the Central. which extends stward= =to the northeast corner of Che great bay and the Boca de Nuentas. and has as its capital Puerto Principe; the third lies to Che east with Santiago as it's eapi- tal. These provinces are divided into twentg-siX judicial districts, each one presided over by an talealda Mayor. or judge. having nnder him local judges. There are also thirty one political districts, each with its ayuntia mento, or town council The chief executive officer Of the island is the Captain-General-at present General Weyler-appointed by the Crown Of Spain for from three 10 five years, at an annual sal ary or S50,000 He is both military and civil commander All State off cers, from the highest to the lowest, are Spaniards, and directly from Spain. The established religion is Roman Catholic In 1889 the public debt was S1S6, eco. 000-Cyclopedia.
 The royal order Omniamodas, rat flied in 1896, empowered the Captain General to rule the island at all times as though the inhabitants were in a state of siege. Some oi these generals have deserved praise for trying to discharge their duties faithfully, but most of them have ruled with aa iron hand, and what ever progress the people has made resulted from their ability to over come obstacles put into their way by Spain and these Captain-Gen- erals. Much sympathy by the pe0- pie of the United States from time to time has been shown. and sev- eral efforts have been made to pur- chase the island. In lS4S President Polk authorized the offer of $l ,000,- GOO. Ten years later the II. S. Senate offered $30,000, ,000. In 1851 the "Os- tend Manifesto,' promulgated by President Buchanan, Mason and Soule claimed the righs to annex if Spain refused to sell. These upris- ings resulted in freeing all the slaves between lS70-1SS6. The most noted insurrection, led by Lopez, '49-54, failed. The rebellion 1S66-'78 brought some reforms. By this Cuba secured representation in the Cortes. or par liament, by her own deputies A Liberal party to secure immigration and free trade was formed.
 The present insurrection seems to be the most formidable of all, and bids fair at this date to succeed. Spain is weakening.

SOIL, TOPOGRAPHY AND MINERALS.
 The soil in the cultivated portions is very fertile and vegetation lnzu- riant. Seven per cent. k nnreelained, four Der cent. k covered with fine forests, and large areas are uneX- plored.
 The highest altitude, 5000 feet, k found in the Southeastern part, near the coast, while in the extreme west, peaks over 2500 feet rise above the sea level By far the larger part of the country consists of undulating plains, well-watered and covered with timber of thefnest quality The shores are generally low and are lined with dangerous serps and shadows, but in many localities there are deep harbors or inlets. as at Havana, the admirable situation of which makes it the emporium of Central America The rivers are shoIt and rapid flowing. The Ay, or Negro has d remarkable natural bridge and some falls higher than Niagara. Gold, silver, coal, copper, iron ore. beautiful marbles and jas pers, salt, red lead. anthony, arsen- ic, asphaltun. petroleum and quick silver are found in different parts of the island.-The Sub.

The chiefindustries of Cuba are the growing and manufacture of sugar and tobacco. In 1890 the sugar pro- duct was.700,000 tons, of which more than three-fourths was shipped to tue United States. About LOGO, ,000 cigars are exported every year. The recent development of cigar making at Key West, Florida, has materially depressed this industry in Havana and other Cuban cities.
