PARTIAL PROSPECTUS.


Thousands Of new readers every week make
it proper to again call attention to some of
the good things in our literary locker.
Awake and imbued with the spirit of this
enterprising age, we have stopped at nothing
in the way of trouble and expense to secure
attractions.
Our object is to enlist the largest army of
readers marshalled under the flag of any pub
Usher in America.
THE NATIONAL. TRIBUNE is a current
review of the great questions which occupy
mems thoughts from week to week. The in
terests of the Nation are paramount. and
therefore important matters as the Cuban
situation, Hawaiian annexation, British COM
plieatiOns, and Alaskan gold discoveries are
treated in a cyclOpedic manner rs they
arise. New pension rulings of great import
ance appear as fast rs issued, and frequently
exclusively in our columns. The great ques-
tons before Congress and subjects dominat-
ing the attention of the executive branch of
the Government also find full and safe exposi-
ton here.
With all these features THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE is pictorial paper, illustrated as
well as any monthly magazine. We are now

~HE existence of h newspaper
dispatch boat in time Of war has
raised an entirely new question
as to what may be the rights of such
craft. The newspaper boat is a nov
city of the present time. There has
been no such thing in any previous
war. and there are consequently no pre-
cedents in law or usage to settle its in
ternational status. So far as opinion
has formed. the newspaper boats are
not public ships n they are not
merchant vessels. 1t Is possible. IL Is
pointed out. hat they might be con-
sidered as yachts or pleasure craft.
Their passengers and crew would. 1t is
assumed. be subject to capture by the
ships of the enemy. just as war corre-
s~pondents are subject to capture and
Imprisonment on land. They would In
the same way be proper subjects for
exchange.

M Cuba will enter the lists as a
sharp competitor against Cali

given 1t historic interest. Nature has
endowed IL handsomely otherwise. Ma
tanazas. they say. Is rather the most
attractive spot In many respects on the
continent. Matanzas. although far
smaller than the capital, is decidedly
better built. the streets being much
more regular: Santiago de Cuba. the
old capital. Is situated on one OF the
most lovely bays in the world. but II Is
nothing ike as clean and prosperous
looking as Havana. although 1t has
much handsomer public gardens. Puer-
to Principe has the advantage of a
charming natural position at the head
OF a lovely bay. and its alameda, OF
public promenade, is marvelously beau
tifuI, with its stately rows Of peacock
s~cacias. orange trees and cocoa palms
Matanzas is, after Havana. by far the
most agreeable place of residence In
the island, and Is ituated in a de
| l~ightfully fertile district. Independent

are Of great extent. and formed Of tn
