Cuban Independence.

The Cubans from day to day con tinue to degrade themselves in the eyes of all American people. Instead of feeling obligated and thankful to the people who have delivered them from the oppression of Spain and from a life of want and misery, they in one grand crowd seem to delight in giving to those who few short months since were shedding their tife's blood to give to them the rights and privileges that are en- loved by the citizens of our own country, all the trouble possible in the formation of stable govern ment.
 From the highest official to the lowest citizen we receive nothing but abuse, while some of them de- nounce our officials in the most se- were terms and declare that they will, if necessary, take up arms and drive every American from the country. As general rule they seem to be a low, insolent class Of people. who know not what is for their own good.
 A number of Cubans have been given petitions in the custom house at Havana and the correspondent of the New York World, writes as follows concerning them:
 ''Cuban employees at the custom house are dissatisfied with their positions. They do not receive the rate of pay they expected, and many have resigned after only one months work.
 The princlpa. complainers are the "vistas, or appraisers. Under the Spanish administration they re ceived an average salary of Sl,oOO a year and fees. The fees produced the greater income. Now they are conf ed to fixed salary, lower than U, Ger Spanish rule. and minus fees. Supervision is strict and outside sources of revenues are not allowed.
 The custom house has always been the Mecca of the Havana office seeker. Salary was no object. Sui ficient it was that man should

COLUMBIA Is A FINE BOAT
OPINION OF MAN WHO SAILED
PURITAN AND MAYFLOWER.
Ctptain Ellsworth Says the Cup De-
tenders Topsail and Jib Are No
Good.

New York, July Joe Ellsworth,
who steered the Puritan and Mayfiower
to victory against the Genesta and
Galatea. respectively, says:
The Columbia is a fine boat, and
I'm sure she can beat the Defender in
the end, and not with those sails. That
club tOpsail and jib are no good in
windward work. and that is the work
that tells in race. You mark my
words. as soon as her sails set as well
as the Defenders. she will outsail her"
How many minutes do you believe
the Columbia can beat the Defender In
a thirty mile race when she is in proper
TRIM was asked.
Judging from Thursdays perform
ance, 1 should say that the Columbia
can beat her from five TO eight min
utes. From all the reports | have read
l do not find any that she could beat
the Defender running free. l under
stand it now. Roth are deep draft
boats. and there is no reason why she
should go faster free but depth does
not count in the windwark work. for
she probably draws more than the De-
fender"

Oliver Iselin on board the Columbia,

pleased indeed with her work. We hope
she win 90 much better when her sails

Club Women Discuss the Subject aud
Board of Regents Will Take the
Matter Up.

Among the subjects that club women
are interesting themselves in at the
present time is the arrangement of pro-
per accommodation in the new univer-
sity building for the girl students.
When the board of regents meets
next Monday night. the matter viii
come up and definite plans will be made
In the old building the girls are not
even provided with proper lunching
rooms, and while the plans are being
made it is the earnest desire of women
who are interested in the college girl
that some generous provision be made
for her comfort
The matter was very fully discussed
at the Saltair meeting on Thursday.
Club women who are themselves col
lege bred. told of luxurious lounging
rooms where tired girl students might
rest. and of dainty tea rooms in con-
nection. where they might lunch.
All this was very much in contrast
to the bare room in which the college
and normal student of our own uni
versity partakes of her midday meal.
Besides this the women hope that
woman attendant may be provided.

a janitor. but who can come and go in

cannot.
These improvements have been urged
by a number of PROMINENT women of
the city, and the board of regents has
promised II take up the matter at the
next meeting

Vice President and General Manager
d. c.. Dodge of the Rio Grande West
ern. spent a busy day in this city yes
terday When seen last evening his
attention was called TO the stories go
ing the rounds of the press to the eff
feet that the Southern Pacific is about
to purchase the Rio Grande Western
in order TO get into Denver. Colonel
Dodge admitted that if the Southern
Pacific intended to purchase road
that that company could afford to pay
more for the Rio Grande Western than
anyone else could. But" he added, Il
don't know whether they want to buy
our road or not. If they do l haven't
heard of it,"
Speaking of the matter of appoint
ing a permanent successor to Mr.. Wad-
leigh, Colonel Dodge said that it had
been decided not to make any appoint
ment Just now, but that Mr.. Heintz
would continue in charge of the pas
senger department, with the title of
acting general passenger and ticket
agent, for the present.
Concerning the proposed extension
into the reservation country, Colonel
Dodge said: THE reservation country
belongs to Utah, and I have always
maintained that it should be developed
from TINS Slue. our surveyors are NOW
out trying to find lire and If a feast
BILE route can be secured we shall build
into the Nernal country" He could
not say when this would be done, but
he intimated that it would not be be-
fore the reservation is thrown open for
settlement.
Colonel Dodge confirmed The Heral6's
statement to the effect that the Provo
canyon branch would reach Heber this
summer. He will inspect the work on
this as well as the Whitmore canyon
branch on his way back TO Denver. He
will probably leave tonight.

PARKER DEFEATS GARRIG.
Denver Pugilist Beats Man From
Buffalo.

Denver, Colo. July kid Parker of
Denver defeated Jack Carrig of Buff
falo in the sixth round of what was to
have been a twenty-round go before
the Colorado Athletic association to-
night. Kid Mccoy acted as referee.
Carrie was on the mat when the gong
sounded at the close of the sixth round,
where he had fallen in sheer exhaustion
a second before. He was carried to his
corner by his seconds. who later an
nounced that Carrig conceded the fight
to Parker.
The bout was hard fought during the
first three rounds honors being about
even. 1t soon became evident that
Jacks wind vas seriously impaired. In
the last three rounds he was on the
mat a number Of times. and only arose
in time to prevent being counted out
His grit won him much applause. An
other thing that was noticeable in Car
rig was the lack Of steam in his blows.
He landed frequently and in vital
places. but his blows. as d rule, had
not the least effect on Parker, who
Was strong and active and was the ag-
Eressor throughout.
Stimulants had 20 be given frequent
~ TO Carrig to brace him up, and after
the fight he complained very much of
trouble in his breathing apparatus. 1t
was plain to all that Carrig had not
sufficiently acclimated himself to fol-
low such a pace as Parker cut out for
him, but he lacked nothing in game
ness, and it was only at the urgent adj
vice Of his seconds that he consented to
throw I'D the sponge. Four thousand
persons witnessed the fight
