THE COLOR LINE IN CUBA.
Some Rubbing of Ii Will Have TO he
Done Before Stable Govern
ment Is Formed.

There will have to be some rubbing
of the color line if the good people Of
Cuba-the natives of all shades, the
Spanish Cubans and the other residents
of foreign descend-combine TO form
stable government. II is estimated that
about 40 per cent. of the people of Cuba
are colored Under universal suffrage
they would control many parts of the
island. To an American or Spaniard
this is rather an alarming condition for
a new state TO face 1t does not worry
the Cubans in the least. There is prac-
tically 10 color line among the Cubans
proper 1t is not an uncommon thing
20 find families of white Cubans in
which a cousin. a nephew or an aunt is
Enthusiastically colored. Nor is African
blood a bar TO the finest Cuban society,
provided the person is descended on one
side from family of honorable connec-
tons, says the Cincinnati TimeS-Star.
The Spaniard. however, draws a dis
tinct difference between the African
blood he may have inherited from
Moors and the colored admiXture in
Cuba In a general way he classes all
Cubans as negroes and refers TO ali
the Cuban struggles for freedom as
"nigger uprisings." He notes with sur
what similar % his in Illinois and Mort h
Carolina. yet are honestly preparing to
turn Cuba over to the Cubans.

SOUAW MEN OUSTED.
The Government DispOssesses 10000
Families in the Indian
Territory.

in 1895, Henry L. Dawes, for many
wears one of the United States senator's
from Massachusetts, was appointed
Chairman of a commission created by
congress TO endeavor to secure from the
five civilized tribes of Indians, in Indian
territory, their voluntary assent to the
abandonment of tribal relations.
After the commission found that local
causes had defeated its object, congress
authorized il to make a census of the
tribes, ascertain who were and who
were not citizens, and suggest plan for
the division of the lands of the Indians
among those who were found to be citi-
ZenS.
Under the last authority the commits
sion has issued orders that all inter
married white men were intruders and
would have to leave the territory. This
means that fully 10000 white, or
"squaw," men who have married into
these tribes must leave their families.
possessions and business interests, and
seek homes elsewhere.
Tribal custom, if not law, has recog-
nized the white man who married an In
dian woman as an equal Indian citizen,
and, hence, eligible TO acquire property
These "squaw men" have settled the
greater part of the best lands. are ia
theirs of nearly $4,000 half-blood chill
dren. and now declare they will not sur
render their acquired rights.

A REFUGE FOR NEGROES.
The Island of Hayti May Serve ia
Help Settle Racial Troubles of
This Country.

An experience OF third of century
and black races in the southern states
will never harmonic. says the Chicago
Tribune. The recent injustices intiict-
ed upon the blacks in North Carolina
are but one item in situation prevail
ing all over the south. To certain de-
gree Bishop Turner is right when he
says there is no manhood future" for
his race in these states. 1t would be TO
the mutual advantage of both whites
and blacks if all the dissatisfied nt groes
in the cotton states could be induced 10
GO to some country where they could
live their own life and develop in their
own way.
The world has not failed TO note
what poor stagger the blacks of Hayti
have made at development during the
century of independence which they
have enjoyed since they got rid Of the
French and Spanish yolles. But this Is
the fault OF the people and rOt Of the Is
land There is no better or more con-
venient country in the world for the
American negroes to emigrate to than
this same rich and luXuriant island OF
Hayti. If our disconnected southern
negroes cannot improve and progress
there winning for themselves an in
crease of wealth and of comfort Their
they cannot do it in Africa or anywhere
on earth.

quite unset him. This Mr.. Gladstone
quickly perceived, and picking up his
bat and umbrella, he scurried to the
top Of the church. and. finding a seat
among the childres sat through the

FORMOSAN CITY ABANDONED.
Residents of DEMONSTRATION Teck-
ham Are Compelled TO
Leave 1t.

The japanese government has ordered
the destruction of the city of Teck-
ham, Formosa, and the removal of all
its inhabitants 10 a new location. The
city is situated Oh the northwest coast
of the island, and has been frequently
subjected to pestilence. In 1896 and
1897 plaques visited Teckham with
enormous fatality. This fact being
called to the attention of the govern
ment, an investigation was ordered by
sanitary experts, who reported that
the city was built upon a swamp, where
upon an order was issued TO the gov
crnor to select a new location as con-
venient TO the old as possible. where
the natural conditions were healthful.
\ new city was laid out. and each prop
erty holder in the old one was assigned
a site that correspondent in area with
the one he occupied al Teckham and
was given - months to move his build
ings and belongings. Sewers. railroads
and sidewalks, public buildings. water
works and all other public improve
ments were laid out by The government
in the new city without expense to the
people, but they were required 10 pay
the cost of the removal Of their own
property. Most Of the houses and other
buildings in Teckham are built of very
light wooden material.

The monastery of Solovetsk, in Arch

monastery consists in reality of six
churches, which are completely filled
with statues of all kinds and precious
stones. Upon the walls and the towers
surrounding these churches are mount
ed huge guns, which in the time OF the
Crimedn war were directed against the
British White sea squadron. The monks
who inhabit the monastery at that
time marched in procession Oh the
granite walls while the shells were fly

they feared the attack of the British
fleet. Ten thousand pilgrims come an
