representative Bankhead says he has
no disposition 10 oppose the line of policy
'he administration has adopted in connec-
tlon With the evacuation of Havana bv
spanish forces. He contends however
that IL Is only reasonable to suppose that
the Cuban insurgents, after battling for
more than thirty years to assist in hauling
down the Spanish flag over C,1ba sbonll
no" want TO be present and witness the
ceremony attending The lowering of the
emblem of tyranny and oppression under
which they have suffered so long and so
disastrously.
Almost Expects Conflict.
Representative Bankhead is familiar
with the Cuban question, and he has taken
occasion to acquaint himself with the con-
ditions existing in that island. He does
not believe any serious difficulty would
ensue, if old Gen. Gomez and his follow
ers were permitted to witness the lowerina
OF the Spanish ensign at Havana; or the
contrary, he believes it would go a long
way towards convincing the Cubans that
the United States is not bent on the an
nexation of Cuba.
Al present some of the Cuban leaders
90 not hesitate to say that they are no
more free under the strong hand of the
United States than they were under the
dispensation of the Queen Regent of
Spain. In other words, there is strong
teellng prevailing in Cuba and elsewhere.
according to Mr.. Bankhead, to the effect
that the United States authorities are in
directly trying to provoke the insurgents
to commit some act of hostility which will
justify the United States in assuming alb
soiute jurisdiction in Cuba, notwithstand-
ing the war against Spain was waged with
the distinct understanding that the United
States had no intention of annexing Cuba.
This feeling has increased to a remark
able degree during the past few weeks
and MIR. Bankhead says he would not be
surprised to hear of conflict between the
United States forces and the insurgents at
any moment. He is exceedingly anxious
that there shall be no outbreak in the is
land until Mrs. Bankhead and her daugn-
Ter with their accompanying friends can
get away from Santiago ana come home.

Sandwich Islands Language.

The natives of the Sandwich islands
call themselves "Kanakas," and the
tongue they speak "Kanaka," not
Hawaiian" as some suppose. The
letters m and w. are pronounced so
nearly alike that natives spell or pro-
nounce words containing these con
sonants indifferently at will. SO 'wa-
hina" or "mahina" (soft j signifies
woman. and ''kekamahina" means
girl, literally 'little woman" A IKE
kamahina" learns in time that ''ho-
nikana' accent on the "ho" syllable)
means "come and kiss me" in the
Kanaka tongue. These phrases are
given to us by the children of the
wcll-to-do American residents of Hon
olulu who have married native w0-
men and s,nt back their children TO
America for collegiate educational I'D
vantages they could not well obtain in
the Hawaiian islands. The boys ana
girls are well grown and have superb
figures, which are allowed to grow to
full proportions without artificial re-
straint. They have abundant black
hair and compilations only slightly
darker than many Of our native bru-
nettes. Their teeth are rarely good.-

GOVERNMENT LOTTERIES"
An Item Of Public Revenue In Many Coun'
tries -Spain's Great Expectations.

In the Prussian budget of receipts
and expenditures for 1898 is one item
which must seem rather unusual to
American financiers-S2 000.00 marks
Ghe equivalent OF about $20,000, ,000)
from authorized government lotteries.
In Prussia the lottery is operated un-
der the direct authority of the state
There are a number of prizes of 500,-
600 marks, and 1t is an annual affair
in the line of revenue raising. In
Italy this year in the annual budget
for 1898 was the item of revenue Co.
100000 lire from lotteries, about equiv
alent to $13,000,000 in American money
and it is somewhat curious that in
nearly every country of Europe, with
the exception of France and Belgium,
lotteries as q means of revenue rails
ing are the rule rather than the OK
ception.
Denmark made last year a profit on
its lotterics-a net profit over and
above eXpenscs-of 100000 crowns;
equivalent to about 100000. In Hol-
land, too, there is state lottery, the
net proceeds of which are figured each
year at 659,000 guilders. or about $780,
600. Portugal is another European
country which recruits its revenues
from this source. In the year 1897 the
Portuguese lottery gained 1,150,000
mirciS (nearly S2,000,000 But Portu-
gal has at least some justification in
its adherence to lotte cics by reason of
the fact that the finances of that coun-
tiy are in an unsettled condition, that
creditors are pressing against it, and
that the expenditures have for a num-
ber OF years exceeded considerably tle
revenues.
In the European countries lotteries
are state monopolics, as much as the
sale of stamps or of cigars and ;obac-
co, and the government makes usually
a considerable profit from them. The
Spaniards are great believers in the
advantages offered by lotteries, and the
| financial plight of that country now
being most serious, there will be start
| ed soon under the auspices of the
| Spanish government a great lottery
scheme, the receipts of which, minus
| the prizes, will be turned over to the
government for its needs. Circulars
are being sent out, and it is expected
that 500, 100000 peSetas, or about $780,
100000 will be netted for the govern
ment. There are five capital prizes of
100000 pesetas each.
