1t is the general impression with those
who do not know the good points in the
negro'S character that they are indOlent
and Enthusiastically. The writer of this has
employed many negroes on the farm, and
his experience is that if they are paid
promptly. treated justly, fed bountifully
and given an occasional holiday they, as
rule may be depended upon TO do good
work, and are faithful to their trusts.
Treated in this manner they work well
even when not under the eye of the master
1t is the highest ambition of a negro laborer
TO let no white man DO mere work than
himself in the field. To permit this would
be to subject himself to the ridicule of his
fellows. In all kinds of laborious toll the
negro likes to excel. Cutting timber in the
forest: in the splitting of rails and the roll
ing of logs and the lifting of heavy weights:
in the harvest field or meadows: in the
breaking of young mules and horses; in the
gathering of sugar-cane. the picking of cot
ton. the transpianting and housing of to-
baccO. in the harvesting Of rice the break
ing of hemp and i'm many other laborious
occupations the negro labOrers have no
sUperiors among any nationality. They are
also preferred IL the South in the work of
the qUarries, in the tobacco warehouses, as
stevedoreS ard steamboat hands and indeed
in all species of employment where great
muscular strength is required or great heat
IS to be endured.

Cabinet last evening Senior Sagasta, the
premier. read telegram from Marshal
Blanco the captain general of Cuba, irving
the names of the Cuban Ministry as an
nounced yesterday, and the Cabinet ap-
proved of the nominations. The premier al
so read telegram from Captain General

General Correa, the minister of war. made
a report on the memorial which General
Weyler recently presented to the Queen Re-
gent on the subject of President McEinley's
message to Congress. General Weyler in
this report denied having sent copies of his
protest to the newspapers, and the minister
for war also read royal edict, declaring
the supreme court-martial to prosecute
those who communicated the text of the
protest to the press.
The director of the Nacional says that as
a personal friend of General Weylers, he
had access to the generals study, where
he took rough draft of the protest, copied
his notes and supplied them to the press
He adds that General Weyler is innocent of
distributing the matter to the newspapers.
The government, however, is convinced
that General Weyler is guilty of having
committed several misdemeanors and is in
clined to act in the most rigorous manner.
Senior Moret, the minister for the colonies,
believes that the government will be able
to raise a hundred million pesetas by the
sale of Cuban mortgage cedulas, and the
minister of finance hopes to raise another
hundred million pesetas by fresh issue Of
Spanish treasury bonds. which will be guar
anteed by the Spanish customs. AS the Gu
ban expense amounts to 40 600 900 pesetas
monthly, these sums will provide the funds
needed until the Cortes reassembles
