OUR PLEDGE TO CUBA.
My annual message of last year was
necessarily devoted TO the results of the
spanish war and the conditions it i'm
posed for the future. The treaty of
peace has restored friendly rela lions be-
tween the two powers. The withdrawal
of the authority of Spain from the island
of Cuba was effected by the LIST of Janu-
Rry. so that the fun re-establishment of
peace found the relinQuished territory
held by US in trust for the inha bitants.
under the direction of the executive to
build up that tranquil development of
the domestic state as proclaimed in the
joint resolu ton adopted by congress. by
which the United States disclaimed any
disposition or intention to exercise
sovereignty, Jurisdiction or control over
Cuba.
By the treaty of peace the Spanish peo-
pie of the island have until April IL, 1900,
to elect whether they will remain citi-
zens of Spain or become citizens of Cuba.
BY that time the result of the census will
be tabulated and we shall proceed to
provide for elections which will commit
the municipal government of the island
to the officers elected by the people. In
the meantime and so long as We exercise
control over the island the products of
Cuba should have marketin the United
States on as good terms as are given to
the West India islands. For the relief
of the distressed in the island of Cuba
the way department has issued supplies
to destitute persofs which amounted TO
6,493, 00J rations at d cost of 81 Az ,554 OF.
To promote the disarmament of the
Cuban volunteer army and in the inter
est of public peace there was disbursed
81 547 $50, paid from the emergency fund
provided for that purpose. Out of the
Cuban island revenues during the six
months ending June 30, 1899. 81. 712 0l4.20
was expended for sanitation: $293. $3.50
for charities and hospitals, and SIS. 944 03
for aid of the destitute.
THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
In response to the invitation of his
majesty the Emperor of Russia a COM
mission from the United States attended
the peace conference at The Hague.
The occasion seemed opportune for S1e
serious consideration of plan for Tie
pacific adjustment of International diff
"erences and a definite project for a
permanent international tribunal. The
final act of that conference, in short, pro-
vided for maintenance of general peace,
the exercise of good offices and media
ton. formation of commissions of in
guiry and International arbitra ton. The
mediation provided for is purely volun-
taly and advisory.

1t is rare indeed that Denver is call
ed to record SO great success as was
made by the new star, Blanche Walsh,
who appeared with Melbourne Mac
Dowell in ''La Tosca" at the Broad way
Theatre last night. Notwithstanding
the many friends Miss Walsh has in
Denver, who looked for great things
from the talented young &C.
tress, she surprised her most
sanguine admirers and scored the tri-
umph such as rarely falls to the lot of
an artistic in Denver, To have scored
success in the play alone would have
been great fact, but to follow Fanny
Davenport in the part and then make q
success of the Interpretation superior
to that of the late actress is great

triumph. This was the verdict of the
large audience which completely filled
the theatre last might. Miss Walsh
met with a great reception but it was
in the last part of the second act that
she made her distinct i'm
preston on the audience
pleasing all with her semblance
of Jealous anger over the supposed in
fidelity of her lover. Her acting in
the third, where she displays abject
terror and grief while her lover is be-
ing tortured within her hearing, was
superb. At the end of this act the cur
tain calls we're so numerous that IL was
thought that the audience would never
tire of bringing Miss Walsh before the
curtain. The play was mounted in
that manner which has made it famous
in the theatrical world -Denver

Since leaving here last year he has
visited many foreign lands and mixed
with the strange inhabitants of the
four quarters of the globe.
He has looked upon the silent pyra-

along the banks of the Nile or across

SchIey Day Celebration.
The first anniversary Of the swift and
terrible destruction Of Cervera' fleet
at Santiago is to be fttingly celebrated
at the Greater America exposition in
Omaha. 1t has been set apart as Schley

was temporarily in command in the
eventful hour when the pride of the
Spanish navy, in command Of its most
intrepid officer, shot ont Of the harboI
into the open sea and the seething
storm of American shot and shell. Dur

TO be present and lend to the celebration
the encouragement and enthusiasm
which his presence will inspire.

Owing TO the intensity Of public in
terest in the pending question of terri
torial expansion, which is intensity ing
daily with the approach of the next
great national campaign, Americans
follow with marked and increasing ca
gerness the reckoning hands Of those
who would lead them TO an enlarged
understanding of the peoples, charac.
teristics, products and resources Of the
insular lands acquired through the
brief but glorious war with Spain.
Publishers who most successfully seek
public favor are the ones who are de-
voting their best energies to the en-
iRhtenment of the American public
on these subjects, of which il knows
comparatively little. 1t is the acute
public interest in the calculation of
these topics that is attracting such
wide attention to the Greater America
exposition, which will open its gates at

notable among which are the water
buffalo, which performs in that land
the function Of the American horse /;
their monkeys and their gamecocks.
Cockfighting is as much a Characters
tic of Filipino life as bullhghting has
been of the social and amusement an
mails in Spain, so that the gainester is as
close a companion of the Filipino rs is
the dog of the American Indian.
The characteristics and novelties of
life in Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii
will also be shown by groups OF natives
of each of these islands assembled in
homelike native villages. The domestic
routine, the social relations, the amuse-
ments, the usual occupations the cook
ing and serving of native foods and
every interesting feature Of their Curl
Gus manners of living will be seen.
Native Hawaiian Dance.
Among the intensely interesting
phases Of life in Hawaii that will be
shown in the Hawaiian village at the
Greater America exposition will be the
dance still preserved among those of the
race who have yielded the least to the
entertainments of civilizing influences
from America. II is known as the
"hula dance, and its fame has preced-
ed it to the American shores by those
who have vainly endeavored to describe
to us the semisavage seductiveness Of
the "hoola hoola. The function Of
this relic CT Hawaiian aboriginality is
the conclusion of each great feast. 1t
is measured and persistent swaying
of the body to and fro in various pos
lures, and in the not far distant days.

Collections of Paintings.
Two of the most interesting historical
collections Of paintings extant will be
seen in the west this year and will
doubtless be an inspiration to western
artists. The management of the Great
er America exposition has secured for
its fine art hall AT Omaha the famous
Nereschagin collection of nearly / 600
fine paintings portraying scenes in the
life Of Napoleon, notably his brilliant
but disastrous Russian campaign. This
collection has recently been on exhibit
tion in London. At the close Of the ex-
position at Omaha it will he shown in
Chicago and New York before being
taken to the Paris exposition. Another
noted capture for the Greater America
art parlors is the celebrated Tissot col
lection of 200 fine paintings portraying
scenes and incidents in the life of
Christ Hundreds of treasured works Of
brush and pen from the homes Of
wealthy connoiseurs of Chicago, st.
Louis Philadelphia, Baltimore, New
York and other cities have been loaned
to adorn the walls Of the exposition fine
arts building, and one of the novelties
will be the famed Ernesti collection Of
Indian pictures from Denver. AnothoI
