THREE MILLIONS on NOTHING.

Our government is showing a great deal
of patience with the Cuban assembly. 1t
begins to look, however, as If its patience
were about exhausted. The assembly has
been warned that if the army rolls are
not given up very soon the 100000 now
in Havana for the Cuban army will be
brought back to the United States, ana
the Cuban soldiers will get nothing. Not
only that, but rations which are now be-
ing issued 90 Cuban soldiers will be
stopped.
1t is not believed that the assembly has
any ground for hoping that a greater
amount than 100000 for the army will
be forthcoming from any source. Its COM
mittee which went to Washington to see
the President and present the resolutions
of the assembly asking for larger sum
met with no success. 1t ought to have
known that the President would not
change the programme agreed on in the
least
1t seems that a banking house in Ha-
vana has been supplying the assembly
with money, and in connection with some
ing some sort of promises to the assem-
bly-proenises that have led that body to
hope that by holding on little longer 1t
would be able to fill the pockets of its
members at the expense of a big Cuban
debt but there are good reasons for
thinking that these promises rest upon no
real foundation. The basis of them doubt
l. tba
provide the amount of money demanded
the Cuban army will not be disbanded,
! and. consequently there will be trouble
in the island.
| 1t is plain that the government doesn't
intend 20 be bulldozed into anything it
doesn't think it wise to do. 1t is doubtful
if the army would obey the assembly In
| fact, it is understood that the army Is
very anxious that the $S.000.o00 shall be
| accepted. The money the soldiers would
receive would enable them 90 reach then
homes, where they could soon find suffl-
cient work to earn a living.
If our government could get the rolls II
would ignore the assembly. That body
doesn't legally represent anybody or any
thing. The soldiers, however, cannot be
paid until the rolls of the army are turned
over 90 our officers 1t is noticeable that
the movement of volunteers from Cuba
has been checked. pending the settlement
of this trouble with the assembly. 1t is
within the bounds of probability that the
assembly will attempt 20 use the Cuban
army to force compliance with its de-
mands. With the sentiment of the Cuban
people against it, however, it could ac-
complish very little. 1t could not do much
more than threaten, and threats would not
make any impression on our government.

In the midst of all of the talking about
federal or local control of the quarantine,
property holders should not lose sight of
the fact that they have about as much to
do with safeguarding the health of the
city as the quarantine people. 1t is the
duty Of every householder in the city of
Savannah TO see to it that when the warm
weather comes his or her premises shall
be found clean. And it is, furthermore, the
duty of every citizen to do everything pos
sible to the end of aiding the inspectors
in their work.

CURRENT COMMENT

The Chattanooga Times Dem) says:
Starting up new parties is much lie
starting new papers. The first move is
easy enough; but to keep them moving is
not so easy. Parties and papers are in
one respect like life insurance companies
or building and loan associations; they
never stand still; but are either going
ahead or going back. If paper or party
isn't all the time absorbing fresh blood"
it's dying.

Jockey Tod Sloan. with a Big bundle I'M

Gnsey House in New York recently and
asked that his card be sent up to "AIr.

who Is a great friend of Sloan's, was dis
cussing things operate with him the 9TH
err day, when he happened to tell him of
the splendid stable De Reszke, the tenor,
keeps in Poland.
He was surprised that Sloan. who knows
the Prince of Wales and so many other
celebrities, both at home and abroad, had
never met the singer, and the Jockey s
visit to the Gilsey House was the result
of the conversation. De Reszke received
the diminutive jockey pleasantly and ac-
cepted a lot of photographs of himself the
latter gave him. When he came down
stairs he met some of his racing friends

body claims it; nobody knows TO whom it

who stated that it had been given to him
by the campaign manager of United States
Senator Clark as a bride to vote for
Clark. Senator Clark promptly denied
the ownership of it. 1t was turned over
to the state treasurer and remains in his
hands awaiting an owner.

The claim was made in London recently
that the Duke of Marlborough was emit
tied to princely rank and dignity. mas
much as the first duke of that name had
been made prince. As a matter of fact
there are certain markings on the MARI
borough coat-of-arms permitted only to
princes. An Investigator, however. an
nounces that the rank and title of prince
enjoyed by the first Marlborough became
extinct with his death, and hence the pres
ent duke is not entitled to the dignity nor
to the marks on his shield. This being
true, the American Duchess of Marlbor-
ough, formerly Miss Vanderbilt, will have
to be content to remain merely an English
duchess, since she is not princess.
