PROBLEM HARD TO SOLVE.
The President Realizes the Difficulty Of
Making Latin Cubans Freem6n BY
the American Standard.

Washington, Nov. 27.-''In my opin.
ion,' writes one Of the most intelligent
and thoughtful Of the American officers
now on the island, ''the trouble Cuba
Is to give the administration and the
people of the United States cannot be
conceived as yet" As more Of his let
ter shows, this officer does not mean
the maintenance Of good order with
military force is to be difficult. But
he remembers that this country en-
tered upon the task Of freeing Cuba on
high moral grounds. He realizes how
hard it is going to be to make Of these
Latin Cubans freemen by the Ameri-
can standard. He knows that the war
was not one of conquest. He appre-
ciates the sentiment that demands for
these people the privileges Of citizen
ship He understands as most Of his
fellow-citizens do not how slowly the
lesson Of self-government will be
learned by the peculiar race.
The administration is already realz-
ing something Of the perplexity Of the
Cuban problem. Citizenship based upon
education or property means disfran.
chisement Of the mass of the Cuban ne.
groes. Perhaps two-thirds Of the Gu
bans who fought for freedom with Go.
mez and Garcia and Maceo were ne.
groes, White Cubans Of position and
means remained in the cities and rem
dered quasi-loyalty to Spain. Shall the
new government be representative Of
the latter class to the exclusion OF the
former? The president has thought
much of this. He has tentatively dis
cussed with his advisers a plan of suf.
frage which will avoid such injustice
to the men who fought and which will
not give over the control to the igno-
rant and the poverty-stricken. His
is to make electors of all |
who served in the war against Spain

New York, Nov, Vs. The funeral OF
the late Garrett A. Hobart, vice presi-
dent of the United States, will take
place to-day at Paterson, N. j., serv-
ices first being held at Carroll hall,
the Hobart home, and after that at the
Church Of the Redeemer. The services
at the house are intended for the
family, the president and his cabinet,
members Of the senate and house OF
representatives of the United States,
and intimate personal friends OF the
family. They will begin at two p m.
and will be conducted by Rev. DR..
Magic, who will also deliver an address
and prayer at the church service. The
president and cabinet will also at
tend the services at the church, icing
conveyed there in carriages, while the
80 pall-bearers, OF whom eight are per-
sonal pall-bearers, will walk in the
procession.
At Carroll hall yesterday afternoon
the remains Of Vice President Hobart
laid in state and the public had an OPP
portunity TO view them. Fully 5000
persons were in the streets. Lines
were formed by squad Of police, but
the force was entirely too small to
maintain any semblance Of order.
Women were largely in the majority.
They included all classes and all had
the same opportunity to take a last
look at the face Of the dead. The first
person to see the remains after they
had been removed from the room
where Vice President Hobart died was
Attorney General Griggs He shook
his head as he noticed the change in
the face Of the dead, and as he stepped
aside from the room, very much
affected, he remarked, "He has suffered
much-more than anyone will know"
As the throngs filed into the hall
leading to the library excitement be-
gan to appear. Women tainted on the
porch and at one time half dozen lay
insensible on the lawn, but were re-
vived. AT the coffin there was faint
ing scene. A woman about 30 years
old, after gazing in the face of the
dead vice president, stood as though
transfxed. Then she screamed and
fell forward into the arms Of police
man. She was placed in chair and
revived. II was estimated that fully
$4,000 persons saw the remains in the
four hours they were exposed to view.
Thousands more would have seen them
II the time had permitted.
1t was remarked by those who had
known the vice president that the face
had lost its pleasant roundness and
was very thin. showing that he had
suffered much. His neck had also
thinned considerably and his hair and
moustache were gray. He. was sadly

PLANS FOR FUNERAL.
President Mckinley to Attend the
Services at the hobart Residence.
A BRITISH EVIDENCE OF RESPECT.
Government Ohices to BE Closed on the
Day Of the Funeral Of the Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States
Troops In Paterson.

New York, Nov. 23.-The funeral OF
the late Garrett A. Hobart, vice presi-
dent Of the United States will take
place on Saturday. The morning serv-
ices at the residence will be attended
by only the members Of Mr.. Hobart's
family, President Mckinley and his
cabinet and Mr.. Hobart's most intimate
friends. At the Church Of the Re-
dsemer in Paterson the public service
will be held at $3.50 o'clock In the after.
noon. The body will not lie In state in
the city hall, as was desired by the city
authorities, but on Friday afternoon
the casket will be open in the library
Of his home and for three hours the
public may view the face Of the late
vice president.
1t is expected that President McKin-
ley and his cabinet, the supreme court
justices and other officials from Wash
ington will arrive before noon on Sat
urday. A special train, bearing the
senators and representatives and other
United States officials, will start from
New York and committees will be on
hand at Paterson to take charge of
those on board
President Mckinley and cabinet
members will leave Paterson imme
diately after the interment Of the re-
mains of Vice President Hobart in
Cedar Lawn cemetery and the United
States senators will return on the same
train with him.
Unless present intentions are altered
neither Mrs. Mckinley nor the ladies
of the cabinet and the supreme court
will attend the funeral Of the vice
president. While they are anxious to
show all respect to the memory Of the
d distinguished dead it is felt that the
long journey to and from Paterson
would prove too trying, especially for
Mrs. Mckinley, and the decision has
been reached to confine the party TO
gentlemen.

A GOOD DEED COMES HOME TO

We dashed through the streets of BIZ
dache, arousing the village dogs, asleep
in the yellow sunlight, TO a chorus of
disapprobation. About a dozen sought
to revenge their disturbed slumbers,
and, following the horses, snapped
viciously at their heels; but we soon
distanced them, and, fiinging curse or
so after us in dog language, they gave
up the pursuit and returned TO blink

For league or so we galloped along
the undulating ground which sloped to-
ward the ford near Ely; but as we be-
gan to approach the river, the country,
studded with apple orchards and trim
with hedgerows of holly and hawthorn,
broke into a wild and rugged moorland,
intersected by ravines, whose depths
were concealed by tall underground
of Christ's thorn and hornbeam, whilst
beyond this, In russell, in sombergreens,
and grays that faded into absolute blue,
stretched the forests and woods Of Anet

he was "in charge" of the works, he drove
small nails into the partition in such man

the stamp was then made upon small slip

stamp. The appreciation of the shipping
