CUBA'S NEEDS
Are Improved Roads and Rail-
roads-An Interesting Report
from Two Provinces Of the Island.


WASHINGTON, September 16.-The
War department made public to-day
the abstract of a report from Gen.
James H. Wilson, commanding the
provinces of Maitanzas and Santa
Clara Gen. Wilson gives a large
amount of statistical information re-
garding the provinces and their pro-
ducts which will be of interest to
Americans intending to do business on
the island
He says that the social conditions
have been much ameliorated since
the American occupation, but that
there are still large number of des-
titute to be cared for and there is a
great need for roads. These will IA
ciliate communication between the i'm
portant towns and allow the freezer
movement of staple products, such as
sugar and tobacco, which now almost
inIterdicted by the lack of anything
except the poorest of pack trains He
says that railroad building will be
cheaper than making wider roads and
recommends one to connect Sancti
Spiritus and Placetas. He says that
this road could be built for $4,000 a
mile, distance of forty miles.
He says that there are other roads
which are very much needed and there
is also necessity for a bridge over the
river Danuji, one of the largest rivers
in the island, which is navigable be-
tween Rodas and the bay of Cienfue-
COS.
He says by far the most important
product i'm San1A Clara is sugar, of
which the province furnished in 1898
81 per cent of the total sugar produc-
ton of Cuba. The war left in opera
ton forty-one sugar centrals and
twenty one others not in operation
but in working order. About eighty
seven were destroyed.
The crop of tobacco in Mantanzas
this year amounted to $4,000 bales.

The Columbus Press-Post of Satur-
day contains lengthy interview with
our townsman, John T. Flynn, which
winds up as follows:
'How do the Democrats of the Sixteenth
district view the candidacy of John R. Nc
Lean?" was asked of Mr.. Flynn
In responding, Mr.. Flynn said: II an
satisfied that
JOHN R. MLEAN WILL BE THE NEXT
GOVERNOR
of Ohio. Every condition points to such a
result. With Mclean it will be complete
organization and for the first time in many
years our own vote will be delivered at tie
polls. Such an outcome means Democratic
victory. 1t always has before, and I 90
not think this year will differ much from
those that have preceded t. McLean's
labor record is of the right sort, too, and so
is his record as a fighter. But think that
the most important thing. after all, as an
aid to McLeans election in the GAINESVILLE
platform. 1t is of the ki11 shat attracts
and its every utterance is seen to be sins
cerely offered The character of the men
on the ticket assures the carrying into eff
feet of it's every pledge. From Mclean on

Mr.. Flynn, do you think the Democrats
of the Sixteenth district have any chance
of landing a Congressman
Mr.. Flynn said: 80 high-handed was
the administration move at the Martins
Ferry convention that it was not only APP
parent to every one on the outside, but it
had the effect of putting the other candi-
dates to political rest, and its end is not
yet. 1t but aggravates those who are op-
posed to Hannaism, and as the Cleveland
Senator is known to be Mr.. Gill's fast pos

Boyle and Graham in "His Better Half"
will be the attraction at the Grand to-
night. The piece was constructed for
laughing purposes only, and is said to full
fill its mission. The complications are of
the most amusing kind, and the fun is in
tense from start to finish. The company
presenting His Better Half has been
carefully chosen, and the many songs,
medleys and dances are said to be rem
dered in such style as to call forth en-
thusiastic applause The specialties are
new and bright, the music catchy. the
company strong and well balanced, and the
humor free from vulgarity. The engage
ment is for the usual half week.

vorable reception from the present day

actor who will appear as the hot-biooded

those of Lawrence Barrett, Thomas w.

company and worked his way up step by
step, playing over three hundred and fifty
parts, ranging from low comedy to high
tragedy. AT the present time Mr.. Glazier
is recognized as one of the best young
leading men in the country. His imperson-

thought and is in no sense a servile irrita-
ton of his predecessors in the role
