Facts About Cuba.
lNeW Orleans sfates.l


 The following facts in regard to the queen of the Antilles will prove interesting at this time.
 Cuba is about as large as the State of Pennsylvania, containing as it does about 43, GOO square miles. The climate is bot on the coast, and, of course, more temperate above in the higher lands. The temperature ranges from 72 to 82 degrees. Ice sometimes forms at night after a long continuance of northern winds, but snow is totally unknown. A large part of the country is occupied by impenetrable forests, not more than 10 per cent of the island being under cuItiva- tion. According torocents tatistics the population is 1,631, ,687; about 65 per cent negroes, although some figures give very much lower totals. If all the island suitable to the cultivation of sugar cane were uti- lized the island could produce enough for the entire Western Hemisphere. In one year with the small area under cultivation, over l, 1,000,000 tons of sugar have been exported
 The United States imports from Cuba sugar, leaf tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and cheroots, molases, fruits, nuts, iron ore, tropical woods and manufactures of hides and skins, chemicals, drugs and dyes. The cocoa tree, from which chocolate is derived, pineapple and cocoanut trees thrive, and coffee, oranges, lemons, mangoes, guava, tamarinds and many other fruits are raised.

will control it's action and nothing else as to contested precincts. If the object of our contemporary is to manufacture public sentiment, then why does it not publish the real facts and say that the depositions already taken in Melton township, to say nothing of the other con- tested townships, showing the shameful frauds perpetrated in the interest of Mccoy and make Brews- ter the honestly and fairly Demo cratic nominee of Jefferson county for Sheriff.

THE GRAPHIC Sunday stated that if the late Democratic County Gen. traI Committee had needed reso. lutiou passed at candidates meet ing before the primaries to permit each candidate to have a represen- tative present at the counting of the ballots in said primary, that there would not now be contests. Chairman c. H. Triplett, of the old committee, informs us that if such resolution was passed by the candidates, he was not presented with said resolution by the secre- tary of said meeting, and, therefore, had no official knowledge off it. and could not call a meeting of the committee to consider it. However, the resolution was published in the local press and commented on at length by the Lstle Rock papers, and that such resolution was passed was matter of common notoriety. It was the duty of the secretary to present Chairman Triplett with a copy of the resolution, in which he was no doubt derIect, but had the chairman been in favor of said resolution, it occurs to us that he could have easily obtained a copy of it and placed it before his com mittee. The GRAPHIC, which de- sires to do justice to Mir. TripIett, as we'll as to the public, makes men, tion of these facts so that the re. sponsibility can be placed where it belongs.

ions from the First and Third

tions from the First and Third wards.
 It will therefore be seen, as the GRAPHIC also pointed out last week, that the contesting delegations from the First aud Third Wards were seated by the country delegates and the uncont tes ted vote from the city, and that they were not permit ted to vote where their own seats were involved.
 Facts are stubborn things, and these are facts, which the opponents of the con 7ention and the people cannot get around.

THE Press Eagle Youchsafes us the information that the local poli- tieal contest will be decided by the old Central Committee. When the old Committee adjourned the con tests were referred to the aelo com mittee to meet on June 1. The con tests will therefore come before the new committee for settlement. Our contemporary is evidently as badly
 mixed" on the proceedings of the Central Committee as it is on the powers aud proceedings of the late Democratic County Convention.

Wait, Press-Eagle, Wait!

Our contemporary, the Press- Eagle, insists upon publishing fig ures showing Mccoy elected.
 Now a mess of crow is an un- palatable dish and should be avoided The figures published by the Press Eagle will not be accepted by the committee when it meets, as evil dence. The proof taken by deposition

Now is the time to buy your Gaso- line stoves, as the warm season is just coming on. Do you know by actual test 1t has been found that four gallons of gasoline is equal to 1000 feet of coal gas fire for cooking purposes? Four gallons of gasoline will cost 60c, and would ask you, please compare this with the price of gas for cooking purposes, and see what the saving will amount to during theyear.

From Madrid.

MADRID, July 14.-In the chamber
of deputies yesterday the minister OF
finance denied the truth of the rumor
that Spain had suspended payment OF
her obligations. Spain, he declared,
would continue to pay her obligations
as long as he was minister Of finance.
The foreign minister denied that foreign
diplomacy was taking action to the end
of securing peace.
The minister of marine announced
that the Spanish forces at Santiago were
still resisting the Americans, but it was

AOuixotic Assertion.

LONDON, July 14.-Mr. Robert Gun
ninghame. Graham, formerly member OF
parliament. has written letter to the
St. James Gazette in which he says
"The excellent gunnery of Dewey s
ships il the battle of Manila is said to
be due to the fact that most of the chief
gunners were Englishmen who had
been decoyed from our Chinese squad
ron by the payment of $500 a month. "
CunniDghame. Graham is a halfSpsn-
lard who has long been familiar to the
public as Qui1otic champion of lost
causes. In an interview he maintained
the truth of his assertions and declared
that the facts were we'll known to the
British admiralty. He declined to give
the name OF his informant, but said it
was known that whenever British
squadron entered an American port q
number of petty officers, sesmen and
engineers were decoyed from the
English ships into the American ser
vice. He then proceeded with fam
boyant TRADE against American com.
mercialism. He was glad, however, to
see that Captains Goodrich and Evans
had behaved in such a gentlemanlike
way toward Spanish prisoners. He
abuses the Americans because they are
not socialists and admires the Spaniards
because they are incapable of devoting
themselves 10 business.
