free government. There is at'und-
ant material if wisely and pre- ,perly
directed and employed to make
Cuba great com monwealtin."
General Buffers letter assures
Mr.. Vidal that the army of the
United States is IN Cuba -
guarantee public order anel enforce
obedience to law and its use will
be controlled very largely by the
conduct of the people them mselves.
If they uphold the law and respect
the rights and persons of each
other, be tells them there Will be
no occasion for interference by
by American troops. He assures
them, further. that no officers and
soldiers on duty in the Island, OF
Cuba, are not only American
soldiers, but are American citizens,
accustomed to render loyal
obedience to law, and they may be
safely trusted to establish and
! maintain the principles of
government as set forth in the
federal constitution and laws
swhich mean freedom, not llcen-
tiousness, aud equality before the
law for all."
In answer to the question
whether in his opinion the Cubans
are capable of self government.
General Rutler dispiomatically
replies that this is difficult ques-.
tion to answer and one which the.
Cubnns themselves have had no,
opportunity to prove. He declares,
however, that during my four
months sojourn IN the Island, l
have met among the Cubans men
and women as refined, accomplish
ed and intellizent as are to be
found anywhere and [ have no
sympathy with the harsh and
unjust judgement of those who
condemn them without a hearing
and settle in advance q problem
which requires time for Its
solution"
General Butler tells his
correspondent that the first lesson
for Cubans in popular government
is to rule themselves, and when
men have accomplished this most
difficult of all the problems of
life they become fit to govern
other and qualified to join the
great body polite which is to
WELD scepre over all. General
Butler declares that, personall, be
"should like to see Cuba state IN
the American Union, enjoying all
the rights of local authority and
,self-government on terms OF
equality with che other Common
wealths Of the United States. She
would then haze liberty; regulated.
by a written Constitution: where
! the military is subordinate tG the
lcivil poi: : and Nhesa each of The
thrse great coordinate braneR
lof The government, legislat,
|e1ecutive and judicial, execute tne
will of the people"
| General Buffers letter is,
throughout, full Of. courtesy and
consideration, and impresses upon
the Cubans the fact that they are
on trial and that their future is in
their own hands. That pickering
aad strife will necessitate forceful
interference by the military
authority of the. United, States,
while a compliance with law and
peaceful department. will free
them from any interference on the
part of our soldiers, and more
speedily open the way to their
self-government and political in
dependence.-Augusta Chronicle.

Curious Bird Habits.

1t is well known fact that if the
young of almost any kind of bird are
taken from the nest before they can fly
the old ones will feed them most atten-
lively if the cage in which the little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach it, and a
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for a time, and end
by poisoning the young ones.
This, however, is mistake, the fact
being that at a certain stage of a young
birds existence, when il is naturally
able to begin catering for itself, the
parent birds, also quite naturally, cease
to attend it, and then, if the birdlings
are shut up in the cage and their Gus
todian has not thought of placing some
food at their disposal they necessarily
die, not from poison administered by
the parents, but from starvation.-St

He WINS No Authority.

The New York Times relates an anec-
dote concerning Mr.. Howells that is
good enough to be true, whether it is
or not. According to report, a dispute
as to the words ''lunch" and ''lunch-
con- recently arose between Mr.. and
Mrs Howells. Mr.. Howells championed
"lunch'' as the proper term, while his
wife defended luncheon. At last, at
Mr.. Howells' suggestion, they appealed
to the Century Dictionary to settle the
question. ''Well, l was right, after
all" he exclaimed in triumph, and he
read aloud the following extract quoted
as showing correct usage: 1--WE lunched
fairly upon little dishes of rose leaves
delicately preserved" ="
''From what author is that sentence
taken?' inquired Mrs. Howells.
''Why, declare. from w. D. How
ellsl"
"Pshawl" was the retort. "He's no
