Cuba Libre.

Comes a cry from Cuban water
From the warm, dusk Antilles
From the lost Atlanta's daughter,
Drowned in blood as drowned in seas;
Comes cry of purpled anguish
See her struggles, hear her cries!
Shall she live or shall she languish?
Shall she sink, or shall she rise?
She shall rise, by all that's holy!
She shall live and she shall last;
Rise as we, when crushed and lowly
From the blackness of the past
Bid her strike! Lo, it is written
Blood for blood and life for life.
Bid her smite, as she is smitten;
Stars and Stripes were born OF strife.
Once we flashed our lights of freedom,
Lights that dazzled. her dark eyes
Till she could but yearning heed them,
Reach her hands and try to rise.
Then they stabbed her. choked her,
drowned her,
Till we scarce could hear a note.
All! these rustling chains that bound her
Oh. these robbers at her throat!
And the kind who forged these letters?
Ask five hundred years for news.
Stake and thumbScrew for their betterS
Inquisitions, BaniShed Jews!
Chains of slavery! What reminder
OF one red man in that land?
Why, these very chains that bound her
Bound Columbus, foot and hand!
She shall rise as rose Columbus,
From his chains, from shame and
Rise as morning, matchless, wondrous
Rise as some rich morning song
Rise. a ringing song and story,
Valor, love personif1ed.
Stars and Stripes eSpouSes her glory,

WHAT THEY WANT.
Articles That Would Add to the
Pleasure OF the Soldier Bows.

Major w. H. Sherburn yesterday re-
turned from San Francisco, where he
spent a day in the camps of the Sac
ramento soldiers.
Captain Lucey, in speaking to Major
Sherburn of the needs Of his company,
said that in view of the fact that the
boys had been ordered to Santa Cruz
the gifts from Sacramento's citizens
which would be most appreciated are a
dozen baseballs, a dozen bats, two
footballs and two sets of boxing gloves.
Captain Lucey explained that he did
not want to drill his men until the very
mention of drill would pail on them.
They would need and demand other
exercise, and the articles mentioned
would be very acceptable to them
Major Sherburn has accordingly in
augurated a crusade for the small sum
necessary to purchase the coveted ar
ticles, and has headed the list with a
subscription of 81. He says he is a
poor beggar, but hard worker in a
good cause, and expects to get the nee
essary amount by close application and
tenacity of purpose.
Major Sherburn states that owing to
the refusal Of the soldiers to accept
the money raised for their comfort by
the pupils of the schools, and put into
revolving fund.-" no cash was on
hand to make the desired purchases.

The first four will cost II cents each,
the others IL cents each, at retail.
A long discussion on the matter OF
filtering water for the schools was had,
but ended in the board deciding to
await the report of the City Board OF
Health as to whether any Of the filters
on the market are germ proof. Direc-
tor Panabaker again emphasized his
statement made a week ago that unless
some absolutely germ proof filter can
be had he would vote for none, and his
sentiment was echoed by President
Driver.
The Committee on Furniture and
Supplies brought in a report recon-
mending that filter company whose
agent was present, be authorized to put
in filter for a two-months' trial at the
school at Tenth and Q streets after the
holidays, but the report was rejected,
it being considered poor policy to make
a test of the efficiency of the filters
upon the pupils when chemists could
be secured to do the work.

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO MARCH
INVITED TO BE IN THE FOURTH
OF JULY PROCESSION.
City Board Of Education Holds the
Project of Filtering Water for
the Schools in Allegiance.

At the adjourned meeting Of the City
Board of Education last night, j. II.
Dolan of the Citizens Fourth of July
Committee extended, through the board,
an invitation to the school children OF
the city to turn out in the parade on
Independence Day.
Mr.. Dolan explained that the Fourth
of July Committee proposed to furnish
a flag for each schoolhouse that would
turn out a company of twenty-five or
more to march in the parade.
Superintendent Erlewine said that the
children will work better volunteers
than they will if they believe they are
forced into marching in the parade. He
Thought the proper plan would be for
principals Of the several schools to open
volunteer rolls. Companies should be
formed, allowing the pupils to elect
their own officers.
On motion of Director Johnson the
invitation was accepted and the matter
referred to the Superintendent with
power to act.
Plans for an automatic flush closet
for the school building at Fourth and
Q streets We're presented by Architect
Seadler. The estimated cost of the
closet was 81, 800.
Architect Shardin had prepared plans
for a similar closet for the building at
Thirteenth and @ streets at an eSti-
mated cost of 81 300, but owing to sick
ness in his family was unable to be
present.
Superintendent Erlewine explained
that by close figuring $4,000 would be
available for the purpose of construct
ing closets. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that the closets be constructed
on the plans presented, but as those
drawn by Mr.. Shardin were not before
the board, the matter was referred to
a committee of three, consisting of Di
rectors Stack, Elliott and Perkins, to
report at special meeting to be called
for the purpose.
A communication from the Red Cross
Society requesting that the pupils of
the city schools be given a half holiday
on Thursday, the 23d inst, in order to
attend a fair under the auspices of the
society at Oak Park was discussed. The
plan met with no favor, it being con-
tended that to break into the middle Of
the week when the children are prepar-
ing for examination for promotion
would have a bad effect. 1t was sug-
gested that if the fair could be held on
Saturday, no objection could be ad-
