CUBA'S CHRISTMAS.

Cuba will probably be turned over
to her inhabitants and Uncle Sam by
Spain as a Christmas gift.
OF her troops now in the island pre-
parations have been made to embark
$4,000 of them fer home by Christmas,
twenty-one transports having been as
signed for the purpose. The volun-
teers in Cuba have been ordered mus
tered out of service and the American
flag has been raised over Sancti Spiri-
tus and several minor points.
The rate of progress ought to be
satisfactory all around. And not the
least grateful ought to be the wretched
soldiery of Spain, who have not Jared
much better than the Cubans them
selves. 1t should be a joyful home
coming and merry Christmas, indeed,
for those human sacrifices to their gov
ernment's selfish pride and greed.
1t will be highly satisfactory to
Uncle Sam, who will go to work rid
ding up things in the island ON a
peace basis for which work he is even
better adapted than fighting, while it
should be especially agreeable to the
Cubans whose fair and fertile isle is
finally freed from the tyrannous yoke
CT centuries.
It should be merry Christmas to
all concerned with Cuba except those
whose loved ones bones lie unrecover-
ea and unrecoverable in the tangled
wreck of the Maine deep in the Shiny
mud at the bottom of Havana har-
hor.

THE ARMY AND NAVY SOUABBLE.

The controversy between Sampson
and Shafter is not very edifying or
profitable, although on the part OF the
Admiral it is justified defense OF the
navy from unjust charges of failure to
cooperate with the army in the taking
of Santiago, in which defense Admiral
Sampson appears to have the best OF
the ponderous General, who would
have Laid down" before Santiago if his
brother officers had not held him up,
so to speak, by main strength.
1t fairly illustrates the extreme
loneliness of the rivalry between the
two branches of the service, which are
as jealous of each other as rival society
bellies. 1t is probably just as well, how
ever, that 1t is so and that each branch
of the service should strive to Guido
the other, although occasionally it is
apt to lead to inharmony and friction
not always conducive to the best re-
suits.
Gen. Shafter redeems himself by de-
clining to take further part in the
controversy. Let the CALLED jade
VINCE says he, sententiously, refer
ring to SIMPSONS statement in his re-
port.
The country is willing to let it go
at that.

DANCE CARNIVAL.
City Hospital Benefit Ended---A Sue
cessful Three Nights Run at the
Opera House Last Night,

The third and last performance of
the American Dance Carnival for the
City Hospital, given under the able
direction of Prof. Speedy, was put on
at the Opera House last night to only
a fair house. Miss Gertrude Reister,
the carnival queen, received an ovation.
All the numbers were heartily applaud
ed. The Misses Fisher and Miller in
a pretty dance as Uncle Sam and Lib
erty, the negro song and dance, and
the gallant sailor lads, with Master
Allen Goodwin as sololst, were prime
faVoriteS. Again, as on the two nights
previous, the cake walkers were the
winners and kept the audience convuls-
ed with laughter all the time they We're
on the stage. Last night couple No. 3,
Miss Hose and Mr.. HaZlett, were the
successful contestants for the massive
bunch of pastry. Couples No. and
No. 5, who had been successful in the
contests during the previous nights,
We're each presented with beautiful
bunch of carnations by the chaper-
ones. The costumes of the walkers
were grotesque in the extreme and the
smiles of the ladies were catch
ing, to say the least. There is no
doubt that the couple which won mer-
tied the prize After the walk was over
the master of ceremonies was the re-
cipient of massive cake presented by
the committee. During the grand
march one of the lady cake walkers
fell, but recovering herself called forth
an ovation from the audience with an
attractive wink from her sparkling
dark eyes," The ladies and Prof.
Speedy are certainly to be congratu-
lated on the excellence OF the perform
ance. Prof. Speedy goes direct to
Rochester. Pa. where ne will present

took three years to construct the Otay
works, but less time will be consumed
on either of the other structures. The
estimated cost Of the system is about
$3,5OO,0O0. The result is expected to
be the rapid conversion of thousands

BUILDING A WATER SYSTEM.
Construction of Immense Reser-
Voir in Southern California.

One Of the greatest water distribut-
Ing systems in the west is being es-
tablished in San Diego county by the
Southern California Mountain water
company. The system when completed
will comprise three reservoirs, the
Otay, Moreno and Barrett's, holding
an aggregate of over 51,OO0,0O0 gal
Ions Of water, enough to irrigate
100000 acres. The Otay dam is just
completed. Its height is $50 feet
above the foundation of thirty-eight
feet above bed rock. 1t is 500 feet
long at the top, 400 feet thick at the
bottom and sixteen feet at the top.
It's impounding capacity is over
$4,000, 100000 gallons, and it flows
over 1000 acres. The Moreno res
erVoir, now in course of construction,
will have a capacity of over 15,2OO,-
100000 gallons, and will cover over
1900 acres. The reservoirs are To-
Gated about fifteen miles back in the
mountains from this city, in the
center of large watershed, many
miles in circumference.
To retain the large volume of water
that would naturally flow through the
deep canyon to the sea, it has been
necessary to construct huge dam be-
tween two mountains. To construct

A manifesto recently issued by Don
Carlos, the Spanish pretender, declares
for war with the United States. Don
Carlos threatens to take the reins I'M
less the present Spanish government
acts agressively.
Decidedly the most warlike move
since the strained relations with
Spain began was made yesterday
when orders were issued to mobilize
twenty-five regiments of infantry, six
regiments of cavalry and all the light
batteries of artillery to be concentra
ted at four important Southern points.
The places at which the forces will be
located are Chickamauga, New
Orleans, Mobile and Tampa.
The feeling at Madrid is said to be
more pacific, hopes for satisfactory
and peaceable solution of the Cuban
controversy being revived. The pop
ularity of the queen regent is on the
increase since it became known that
she contributed million pesetas to
strengthen the Spanish navy.
