low to he Governor of Havana.

HAVANA, Dec. 12.-The Two-hundred-
and-second New York Regiment began to
land at o'clock this morning, and at 10
o'clock a column about one thousand
strong mar0hed from the San Jose wharf to
the Christina Railroad station. The troops
were led by Colonel Seyburn and Major
Abbott the regimental band playing sim
pie marching airs. The color sergeants
bore the stars and stripes and the blue and
gold banner of the State of New York. The
route, which was a mile and half long,
was the most direct course from the land
ing place to the railroad station, and did
not pass through the principal streets.
There were only the ordinary number of
people in the streets, and it was only occa-
sonally that cries of 'Vive Espana!' "Vive
Americanos!' or "Vive Cuba Librer' were
heard. The on-lookers were mostly silent,
and were merely curious to see the Amer
ican soldiers. The regiment arrived at the
railroad station at 1O:SO. and after some de-
lay two trains loaded with troops pulled
out of the depot. Some of the troops be-
longing to this detachment are bound for
the city of Pinar del Rio, about 11S miles
from here. The others will be stationed
at Guanajay and Mariel, not far from here,
in the province of Pinar del Rio. The
troops bound for the city of Pinar del Rio
arrived there at o'clock this evening
The First North Carolina Regiment which
arrived here yesterday morning on the
United States transport Roumanian, disem-
barked this morning and marched through
the city with band and colo~s 10 the camp
at Marianao. BY the time the regiment had
reached the suburb OF Cerro many hundreds
of men, women and children were follow
ing, all showing deep emotion, the men en-
bracing one another, the women weeping
from excessive pleasure and the children
shouting endearing names as the North
Carolinians marched along. The troops were
amazed at the intensity of feeling displayed.
Several hundred Cubans followed the regi-
ment all the way to Marianao, a distance Of
seven miles. The troops, in heavy march,
ing order, made a fine appearance reaching
the camp about IL o'clock this morning,
where they were comfortably installed

States, Britain and Japan to Unite.
LONDON, Dec. 13-The Paris correspond
ent of the Daily Mail summarizes this morn
ing an interview he had with United States
Senator Cushman K. Davis, of the peace
commission, who advocates triple alliance
between the United States, Great Britain and
Japan. The correspondent says: "Mr.
Davis declared that American and British
interests in the far East run quite parallel,
and that, therefore, the two powers should
act jointly. i am not appealing to sent-
ment,' he said, though blood is thicker than
water, and this argument should not be ig-
nored My thesis in favor of cooperation
is borne out by the coldest logic. 1 favor

States, Great Britain and Japan, for the
protection of all their interests north of the

a wholesome fear, synonymous with respect,

''He proceeded to argue that Russia, Ger
many and France had secured the great bulk
of the commercial benefits in China, to the
exclusion of both the United States ana
England. He suggested that such drei-
bund could have nothing to fear from any
coalition of other nations, and that there
FORE it would tend to preserve the peace.
There are still 500 years of vigorous fight
in England said Mr.. Davis, which shows no
sign of decrepitude, while strong as Amer
lea is, it will take several hundred years to
develop her promise and potency. l do not
see why other nations should object to the
alliance. If they do, let them. Germany
already, by special legislation, has immense
Iy injured Americas commercial interests.
German-Americans regret this attitude on
the part of the mother country. So far as
the Philippines are concerned, there will be
an open door, but not free trade. Our pro-
lection policy will be applied without favor
ing any nation, and the local needs of our
now territories will he considered -

honestly in the case of most in regard
to the changes that are necessary to
secure the happiness and welfare Of
our people, and also in regard to best
means to be used to bring about these
changes. Unity Of action on the part
of the great body of reformers is abso-
lutely necessary to success. It is the
duty of each one to do all that is in his
power to promote such unity of action
so far as is reasonable. To fail in this
is wrong. To do the contrary from
passion or prejudice or selt-interest is,
wicked.
The first question to be considered is
what is necessary to be done to bring
prosperity and happiness to people9
This should be first determined, for
mere unity In itself is of no value. Sue
cess on an unwise basis would be worse
than defeat, because it would bring
chagrin and disappointment and might
result in such decentralization in the
ranks of reformers az to permanently
injure the cause, whereas defeat on a
wisely chosen basis would be only tenn
porary.
With your kind permission, Mr.
Editor, in a subse quent article I will
undertake to show what changes are
necessary, in my judgment to put the
prosperity of Jul people on a sure
foundation.
