against the Island In an effort TO conquer

producing revenue Of only $50, 900, 900 a
year. Half Of this must go for administra-
ton. Only $40, 600, 900 Is left for applica-
ton to the principal and interest Of the
debt, and, as we have seen, this sum would
pay only a little more than one-third of
the interest charge. There would be moth
ing whatever for schools, roads, light
houses, harbor improvements, public
works. No, 1t Is impossible for Spain to
retain Cuba. IL she were to keep the
island, the people would be taxed into an
other revolt in less than two years. The
exactions made OF them by the govern
ment have been simply intolerable In the
past. Now they would DO worse still

men who can really understand the situa-
ton, who appreciate the utter hopelessness
of holding to a colony that is ruined be-
yond redemption. Cunningly the bond
holders and the politicians have famed the
mind of the masses of the people Of Spain
into sort of frenzy about giving up Cuba.
The ignorant people have been led to be-
lieye that surrender of the island would
be IA national infamy, while the truth is
that the infamy consists of ever permit
ting it to get into the state we now find it.
"If Spain had had any wisdom at all,
she could have ruled and kept Cuba.
There would have been no trouble. But
she insisted upon using the colony simply
as sort of rich pasturage for her mer-
chants, spectators, adventurous and poll
ticians. Cuba was the place to which men
went when they wanted to get rich quick

TWO BENEFACTRESSES.
Missouri Sisters Wish to Devote 800, 900
to Educational Purposes.

President Harper of the University Of
Chicago is on the track of a sum of
money that, if secured, will 60 long
way toward helping the institution out
of the financial straits in which it has
been lately and will materially increase
the equipment of the school in the way
of new departments and additional
buildings. In one of the leading cities
of Missouri there are two sisters who
are said to have $1,000 between them.
This sum they wish to devote to educa-
tional purposes. 1t is this money DR..
Harper has in view, and the only thing
in the way of his plan to turn the cash
into the Golfers of the university is the
desire of the two would be benefactresses
of education TO invest their money in
their own city. What the names of these
two sisters are and where they live the
president refuses to disclose, although
he confesses that they live in one of the
largest cities in Missouri. When asked
if st. Louis was the city, he said,
"No," and declined to be questioned
further.
AS far as can be learned the sisters
are unmarried and past the prime OF
life 1t has been guessed that they live
in Kansas City The reason given by
DIR. Harper for their asking his CO oper
alton in settling upon proper way to
invest their wealth in education is that
they did not know any one in their own
town whom they care to intrust with
the matter. They want the Chicago
president to superintend the expendi
ture, and he will probably do this,
even if he cannot spend the money to
improve and enlarge his own insiitu.
ton. 1t has been the hope of the presi-
dent for long time to establish schools
of medicine, music, law, art and tech
nology OH the campus. If the president
gets the Missouri money, it is hard to
say to what end he will devote it, but
school of technology or law seems the
most probable. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

ENORMOUS interest on Her Loans.
WASHINGTON. March 26.-[Special. /
"Spain is largely ruled in France. This
remarkable statement was made to me by
. member of the diplomatic corps who is
In position to know what he is talking
about. In explanation he went oil to say
that three-fourths Of the debt of Spain
charged to Cuba and secured upon the Gu
ban revenues was held by Frenchmen.
Tempted by the high rates of interest Of
fered by Spain in her extremity, the thrifty
French had invested their savings in the
securities of their less prosperous neighbor.
In some cases this rate of interest was as
high rs per cent. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that Spain is today paying a
higher average rate upon her national debt
than any other modern nation of the first
second or third class, while the United
States pays smaller rate than any other
nation, Great Britain alone excepted.
Such an enormous sum is that which
represents the French investment in Cuba
that the bondholders and their agents are
virtually able to control the Spanish cab
met. If extension upon the interest pay
