HAVANA, Dec. 1.-THE local press shows
a sharp division in the comments upon Pres

La Union Avisador, El Comercio, La Union

form for the social and moral reconstruct

General Woods Orders Disobeyed by
Cuban ~nsurgents

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 7.-To-day is
the anniversary of the death of Gen. An
tonic Maceo, and has been celebrated among
the Cubans in Santiago. Considerable an
noyance was oceasioned to the United States
authorities by the fact that some seventy
five men, Cubans, marched the entire length
of St. Thomas street, armed with rifles and
machetes, although all Cubans are well
aware that such conduct is strictly against
the regulations, armed bodies other than
United States troops not being allowed. The
offenders i'm question did not ask permission
to march armed, and their intention was not
made known to the American authorities.
Indeed. the cathedral. where memorial serv-
ices were held, had been reached by the
paraders before the fact was reported to

Report and Recommendations of the
Commissioners of N%aVigatfOn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE annual re-
port of Navigation Commissioner
lain is devoted mainly to statistics and facts
in support of the project for the creation
of the American merchant marine recon-
mended by Secretary Gage. Excluding the
great lakes, practically shut off by Niagara
Falls from foreign competition, the tonnage
of vessels entered and cleared at seaports
of the United States in foreign trade for
1897 comprised ~7,24S.625 tons American and
%, 632. 40 tons foreign shipping. In oversee
navigation to foreign ports more than 1900
miles distant American shipping amounted
to only 2,06S, CSC tons, compared with 27.419.-
O6 tons foreign. "Only three practical
courses at the present time the commits
sioner says, ARE open to the United
States"
"First-We may retain our laws I'M
changed, ignore national navigation and
continue TO rely on vessels under foreign
flags for the transportation of our exports
and imports.
'rsecond-We may permit ~foreign-built YES
sells TO register under the American flag, ship
crews aboard and increase national naviga-
ton.
"Third-We may extend direct government
aid to vessels built in the United States. and
thus increase both national navigation and
national Shipbuilding.
THE last-named of these three courses is
suggested to a very great extent by our new
relations to the rest of the world, which
expects the United States to become a mari
time power. For the first time we nov hold
and shall doubtless permanently hold, inhab-
tied territory beyond the limit of the North
American continent. If all that such possess

INDIANA FED ON ALUM.
The Harmfu Drug Concealed In BRk-
ing wde

Recent investigation shows that the stores
are largely stocked with baking powders
which contain alum, the injurious ingredi-
ent which the Iowa and Minnesota State
Boards OF Health have so strongly con-
demned. England, Germany and France
have laws prohibiting the use of alum in
bread, and the States of Minnesota and
Wisconsin forbid baking powder containing
alum to be put upon the market unless the
words this baking powder contains alum
are printed upon the label of every package
offered for sale. This is the danger signal
which the law throws out for the protec-
ton of the people. Yet many Of the makers
of alum baking powders, such as the "Caiu-
met while keeping away from Minnesota

their condemned powders to consumers here.
These alum powders are frequently labeled
"pure," best in the world. . none so good
