THE AFFAIRS CUBA.

In Havana Spaniards and Cubans are
at daggers points and will remain so
until the Spaniards clear out Further
open or extensive hostilities will be
averted, however, by the Americans
taking charge of the city, which will
be formally done with troops to-day.
Then the task of bringing order out of
chaos will be begun.
Not until Dame Columbia has house
cleaned for some time in Cuba need
we expect anything like order in that
less topsy turvy condition for several
generations, and is now bordering on
anarchy the result of the Spanish
officials, unpaid for months and soon
to be relieved of Office, declining to do
any more work than they can avoid
and allowing the public service to take
care of itself.
In Havana the confusion is fright
full. Stagnation exists in the civil de-
pdi ti1CutS. where the OlICldlS allow
things to take care of themselves. The
postoffice is scarcely conducted at all.
Mails are delayed and undelivered and
some routes have been abandoned.
The Havana Office is blockaded. A
similar condition of things exist in the
custom house. A blockade is only pre-
vented by the employment of assistants
by a voluntary association of mer-
chants.
Meanwhile we may be sure the Span
iards, who decline to do any govern
ment work, are not refraining from
laying hands on any coin that comes
their way. AS they have not been
paid for some time and stand excel
lent chances of never being paid, they
may regard this appropriation of funds
in their case as justified; although ii

why Many People Are Making Early H0Ii-
day Purchases.
Last night, after business hours.
Shelf Bros. made an examination Of
| their immense stock of diamonds,
watches and jewelry, and discovered
that they still have too many goods.
They then determined to continue their
special 20 per cent discount sale for
| one week longer. In order to move
goods rapidly, and with view to max
ing it the banner week for jewelry
sales in this city, they will also include
in the sweeping cut in prices, their
entire line of spectacles and opera
glasses. All spectacles sold at the re-
duced prices will be fitted free of
charge after Christmas by Prof. Shelf.
All that are fitted before that time will
be sold at regular prices,
The announcement of the continua-
ton of this discount sale will be hailed
with delight by hundreds who were I'M
able to make their purchases last week,
or who desire to make further pur-
chases. Shelf Bros sales last week
were greater than those of any Wheel
ing jewelry house in any corresponding
period. They have made a bona fide
cut in their regular retail price, and
many customers found the retail price
so low that they thought it was the
reduction price.
Shelf Bros. buyer bought too many
goods in New York, hence these ex-
traordinary prices, which are rapidly
reducing the stock to normal proper
tions. The public is given opportunity
to take advantage of the remarkably
low prices in diamonds and watches
NOW, as Shelf Bros. do not believe in
maintaining high prices before the
holidays, and making the cuts after
ward
A 20 per cent REDUCTION on the
LOWEST MARKET PRICES is an Of
fer as attractive as it is unusual, and
it has made Shelf Bros establishment
the veritable bee hive of the jewelry
trade.

cial under any condition ever was
deeply concerned on that score. Judg-
ing from the vast wealth that Spanish
| officials were enabled to accumulate in
a few years of official life in Cuba
plumber has been one of the recognized
sources of official income.
Meanwhile Uncle Sam has mighty
| job of reform on hand in the island.
1t is one to accomplish which the Gu
/ bans themselves are absolutely unfit
1t is, indeed, a grave question whether
they shall be capable of continuing the
good work even after Uncle Sam shall
have started them in it. Probably the
best and most conservative sentiment
in Cuba is averse to giving the gov
eminent into the hands of the Cubans,
preferring the stability in their affairs
which can only come through annexa-
ton to the United States.
Annexation would solve a good many
problems in that island and would be
mutually beneficial to both sides. Geo.
graphically Cuba belongs to this con-
tinent and comes within the protect
ing arm of the Monroe doctrine. 1t is
rich and desirable, will rapidly fill up
with Americans and be controlled by
them, and, if annexed would soon be-
come an important and prosperous
State of the American union.
Why reach to the other side of the
globe for savage islands to annex when
we have the civilized, fertile and beau
tiful Pearl Of the Antilles right at our
doors and needing but a welcome to
come into the fold?
