The cook is given so much a day, and

Have American Spirit.

These people comprise seven
eighths of u population. Of the re-
mainder our leaders, political and mil
itary, many were educated in the
United States.
There they have imbued the spirit
of liberty and learned the meaning of
a true republican form of government.
In their knowledge, ability and integ-
rity we place our trust, and q the
guidance and protection OF the United
States l can see for Cuba "a future of
brightness.
"Of public schools in Cuba, we have
had none and our public press has
been but the m~outhpiece Of the mon
archy, and in consequence n large per-
centage of our populace is completely
ignorant and has n tendency to dis
trust n effort to govern them by a
foreign power.
For this reason, IL for no other, the
establishment Of any form of govern
ment should be done with the utmost
frankness on both sides and a clear
understanding of the relations that
are to be established between the gov
eminent and the people governed. If
the right men are chosen 10 govern
the task will be easy, the people will
govern themselves. If through misin-
formation the wrong men are secured
for Office the problem of reconstruc-
ton may be encountered with more
than one difficulty.
IF this possible political friction
can be avoided through a judicious Sc
lection of the first rulers the Dath of
those to follow will be smooth enough.

innate acquaintance with the strength

ministration of the United States the
stumbling blocks to be avoided, and

IMBUED WITH SPIRIT OF LIBERTY
A Frank and Open statement by
Masso OF His Hopes In
Relation 10 Cuba's
Future,

Washington, ID. c., Aug. s.--George
Reno of Louisiana, who has been with
the Cuban insurgents three years,
reached Washington yesterday and
presented to President Mckinley a
communication from President Masso
of the Cuban provisional government,
with headquarters at La Esperanza,
Puerto Principe province.
President Masso was anxious TO ex-
plain the attitude of the provisional
government to the president of the
United States in view OF the friction
between Generals Shafter and Garcia
and the misapprehension he feared
might exist in the American mind as
to the attitude of the Cuban insur-
gents.
President Masso's message tn Presi-
dent Mckinley is in part as follows:
IL am anxious only to bring about
peace and a feeling of satisfaction
which will crafty both the Cubans
and the United States. We fully real
ize and are delighted with the fact
that we are in the hands of the people
of the United States, for in them and
their government we have the most
implicit confidence.
"The slightest friction or misunder-
standing with the administration Mt
Washington would give us unbounded
pain.
Sincere Old Mnsso,
Our only wish is TO know what is
desired of us, and what are the views
entertained by your government re-
garding us with reference TO the solu-
ton of the problem Of the future of
Cuba.
knowing my people rs / do, l can
not think that the problem Of recon
struction if rightly approached, is as
serious as It may seem to outsiders. |
know that the question Is seriously
asked whether the Cubans are capable
Of governing themselves; can they be
trusted to govern?
Our people, unlike those of other
Spanish-American countries, are not a
warlike people, and they were driven
TO rebellion by the greatest possible
oppression as n last resort to avoid
absolute slavery, if not humiliation.
Once the Spanish people leave this soil
il will be u most serious occasion, in
deed that could bring about an armed
resistance.
THE vast majority of the popula-
ton of Cuba are agriculturists and
possess neither ambition nor the de-
sire to hold Office. TO be left alone to
the cultivation of the soil and the en-
ioyment of their home life is all they
ask.

New York. May "A World correspond
ent visited the Austrian warship Donau,
near Halifax. N. s., to learn something
relative to the report that one OF the sail
ors had been detected interfering with the
lock on one of the magazines. The report
was confirmed by several of the crew and
warrant officers. The man under arrest is
an Italian-American. The man was con-
fined in an iron cage six feet square.
There was just sufficient space to permit
the passing Of water and hard biscuit to
him, which made up his daily repast. He
will be kept in confinement until the ship
returns to Austria, and will then be handed
over to the authorities. charged with the
serious crime of having attempted to blow
up the vessel. 1t was stated that dynamite
had been found in the possession Of the
accused. The correspondent had a chat
with the sailor.
The story regarding the arrest Of the
dynamiter was generally known on board,
and was being discussed by the ships crew.
The penalty for such an act is death by
shooting. The sailor admitted that he had
tampered with the lock of the magazine,
and the fact that he was an Italan-Ameri-
can added much to the sensational part
of the affair. 1t was stated that the at
tempt to wreck the vessel by the dynamite
was made while the ship was in New York

Psyche.
From the New York Herald
Curls have come back and a new fashion
of hair dressing has been adopted with
the first days Of the spring. Not that the
curls are very large-there are to be four
of them this season-and not that the
fashion of hairdressing has materially
changed. But sweildom and the style are
very insistent on this point. and the maid
her locks in the new mode before the
month is out will be called very much

These curls are unique because they are
put where curls are not very often seen.
and until one becomes accustomed to the
fashion he may not notice them. They are

persons is dressed to give it Mayy ,t loose ts
