The curious fact is noted that if
Cuba should ever become an independ-
ent republic it would be the sole island
in the world to possess separate
national existence. Madagascar has
become French, aud japan is an
archipelago. This seems to show that
isolated tracts do not get on we'll alone.
Tiny countries, walled 10 by mountaia
barriers, like Montenegro and Switzer-
land. retain independence. but the ocean
is less sure protection than mouotaiu
walls. Even Iceland is dependency
of Denmark still. Al island would
seem a more advantageous spot for
maintaining a national existence than
suoh territory as Belgium and Holland I.
but both countries are in 8 fair way to
retain independence permanently.

again in the hands OF receiver. This
enterprise began several years ago with
white working people 1t failed and
was reorgsnized and then colored help
vas employed. The results have been
looked for with much interest by both
employers aud employees. White
mill hands have long had the fear Of
negro rivalry. The Two races can not
be worked together, but there has been
an idea that with the increasing COM
petition aud demand for cheap labor the
Negro might be called in. judging by
the report from Charleston. however,
it is not likely that builders Of new

interfered with the white provost

more trouble is feared.
The crowd dispersed, however,
on seeing that their demands had no
effect. No further trouble is antici-
pated.

CABINET SAYS NO
TO EWA'S PETITION.
VIII Not Permit Company to Make
Capital S5,OOO,OOO.

The Cabinet has taken a hand in the
stock and share and corporation busi-
ness in a manner. The Eva planta-
ton company has been notified that it
may increase its capital stock to
| So ,OOO,O 900, but cannot go to $4,000 600.
The petition was to be permitted to go
to $4,000, 900. The original capital was
| 81 ,00O, 900, with the privilege of going
to $4,000 900. The doubling up was re
| Gently voted and at the same time the
directors were instructed to apply for
the privilege of going to $4,000, 900,
which is denied after mature delibera-
ton, it is presumed, on the part of the
Cabinet, the Ministers declining to "as-
sumo any responsibility" and offering
the compromise Of the right to go to
SO 900, 900.
The Eva people do not relish the
verdict of the Cabinet. Several means
Of circumventing the ministry present
themselves and are being studied. One
plan is TO accept the right to go to
So 1000, coo on the chance that in time
there VIII be consent to the $1,000,
000. Another is to disincOrpOrate at
once and to reincorpOrate at $4,000, 900.
This is very likely to be done. The
third and extreme resort canvassed is
to incorporate in California. 1t may
become necessary to do this, in which
case the Islands would lose the head
quarters of its premier sugar corpora
ton.
Among both large and small stock
holders and on the streets everywhere
yesterday the difference between Eva
and the Cabinet was quite thoroughly
discussed
