RUNNING A PAPER IN CUBA.
Its owner Nearly breaks the Islands
Prison Record.


The first American newspaper start
ed in Cuba was owned by Thomas
Dawley, the war correspondent whose
confinement in various Cuban prisons
by Weyler before the war almost
brought about international complica-
tlons.
"My first paper was published In
Santiago and was called The Times Of
Cuba" said Mr.. Dnwley. when the
natives heard was going TO print n
paper, they offered TO get me set of
wardrobes. Wardrobes are standing
items authorized by the public censor
and appertalning TO weddings, funerals
and births. When any of these domes-
tic events happens. the editor goes to
the wardrobe. selects one of the items,
changes the names, sex and dates and
puts It into type. This saves trouble.
l declined the offer because | wanted
to be original. but Santiago was con-
servative. and when printed some
truths about the Cuban army was
threatened with assassination.
"A friend told me that | could save
myself by hiring substitute to sit in
the office and acknowledge the author
ship of any offensive item. This also
declined. Perhaps it was mistake,
for n few days later some of the towns
men came TO the office and threw me
bodily into the street and ruined my

his appetite, and he would open court
Immediately. It took him about ten
minutes to find me guilty and sentence
me to prison.

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott spends much

Soon afterward stlll another man

In which the doctor and his rival sat.
He called for no book. but was merely

ing the cost Of exploitation of gold
from 81 per ton to So. On this basis 1t
is believed that under British manage
ment the output OF gold wsuld be dou-
bled In two years.
Speaking of government expenses, nm
analysis of Transvnal finances Is inter
estina. In the IA years since the dis
covery OF the Witwatersrand gold
mines the revenue Of the Trnnsvaal
hns been SlSS, $50, 900 and the expendi-
ture S1S5, 10000. OF which revenue all
but $lG,000,O00 has been found by the
ultlander. Roughly. one-half OF the
expenditure is made up as follows: Sal
aries and appointments. S35. .O00, 900;
military expenditure, $40, ,220 900; spe-
cial expenditure, S1l, l,435,0 900; various
services, S7,005,000, and public works,
S29.045000. The items of special ex-
penditure and various services mean
nothing else than the wholesale subs-
dization OF European newspapers and
statesmen. Public works mean forts,
and II looks as II the Beers had been
systematically preparing for war dur
Ing the past three years.
Interest is so completely centered on
the Transvaal war that operations In
other parts Of the continent are over

The accompanying map of constructed

of the commercializntion of Africa In
contemplation. The spirit OF France
may be judged by recent official re-
port OF the Marseilles Chamber of
Commerce, which declared that the

railroads should not be considered.

nupbie Harjo is a typical Indian and
was reared and educated in the Greek
schools.
Although yet n young man, Harjo
has done much for the betterment of
his people. As superintendent of the

peculiar ability. He left that work to
accept the superintendency Of the ma

ready testifies to the personality of the
man. Here are some bits Of verse from
