The Future of Cubn.
(From the Atlantic Monthly


Permanent American control is the most
probable future for Cuba. We are re-
sponsible for good government in the ISL
and, and it is doubtful if this can be es-
tablished in any other way. This becomes
clearer every day, even to people at a dis
tance; down there nothing else is ever
thought Of or suggested except by the un-
ruly elements. and those persons who have
nothing to lose and everything to gain by
a state Of affairs in which the shrewdest
and most Inscriptions man wins, and who
still cling to the old fetich of Cuba libre."
1t is SO doubtful whether the Cubans can
ever govern themselves that few Ameri-
cans. who have been to Cuba and know the
conditions, expect them to do 1t. Under
American direction Cubans have performed
some Of the work incidental to government
in q more or less satisfactory manner
Some Of the postofiice clerks are less in
efhcient than the majority. The city po-
lice and the rural guards are vigilant, en-
ergetic and determined, and they have
kept order to the best Of their ability; but
they are sometimes cowardly and often
disposed to bully and browbeat They are
inclined to be arbitrary and domineering.

SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS.
The Weather for the Past Week I'M
favorable for Termination.
The following bulletin has been issued
by the Weather Bureau


Except in the Southern States, the week end
ing May %, 1899, has been rnseasonably cool and
unfavorable for termination and growth, and
while the week has been much warmer than US
ual in the Southern States. the continued ab-
sence OF rain over a large part OF that section
is proving very unfavorable. Too much rain in
the western portion of Kentucky and portions OF
Missouri and Arkansas has retarded cultivation Of
crops. Frosts occurred in the Central Rocky
Mountain regions, and in localities in the more
northery districts east Of the Rocky Mountains,
causing only slight damage.
Northward of the Missouri and Ohio Rivers.
and in the Middle Atlantic States and New Eng
land, the week has been much too cool for corn,
retarding its termination and growth. In the
more southerIy districts the temperature cond-
tions have been more favorable. but in portions
of the South Atlantic and Gulf States the crop
is suffering for rain. ard is being damaged by in
sects. In TEXAS. Oklahoma. Arkansas. and Kan
sas corn has done well. Planting is in progress
in the southern portion Of North Dakota, and in
Minnesota and Northern New England, and is
well advanced in other Northern States, although
retarded in South Dakota. Iowa, and New York.
Winter wheat is reported as having been con-
sidcrably damaged by insects in the central val
leys and Middle Atlantic States, and the
whole the prospect in the States east of the Rocky
Mountains is less encouraging than at the close
OF the previous week. 1t is generally heading
low. In California. while rains would prove ben
cicial in the southern part Of the State, the out
look favors large crop. Owing to the unseason-
ably low temperature lOr several weeks, Inc
growth OF wheat in Oregon and Washington has
been very slow, but the crop in these States looks
well. Harvesting has begun in Texas and Ala
bama.
Spring wheat seeding will be finished in the
Red River Valley by May %; it is now practi-
cally completed in North Dakota. but has been
DELAYED in Oregon. Over the southern portions
Of the spring wheat region the condition Of the
crop is promising. no material damage having re-
suited from recent frosts,
The general condition of the Oat is pronl.
Using. In portions Of the Southern States how
ever, it has suffered from drought, and in South
Dakota and Washington from frost. Harvest has
begun in the South Atlantic and East Gulf States.
Cotton is doing fairly well in the Carolinas,
Georgia, and Texas, being clean and well cult-
vated Over the central portion Of the cotton belt
insects have caused serious damage, and over the
southern portions Of the Gulf States and Florida
rain is much needed.
Tobacco is suffering from drought in South Car
olina and Florida. Transplanting has made rapid
progress in Virginia. and some has been trans
planted in Maryland.

ANOTHER Victim OF
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Federal Authorities Arrest
Two Buffalo Healers.
Government to Prosecute the Case
Vigorously.
Boy Victim of Pneumonia Died at
Fat DH-t>. UlthA.t Mall
Boy Victim of Pneumonia Died at
Fort Porter without Medi-
cal Attention.

The prosecution Of Christian Scientist
has finally been taken up by the Federal
Government. The national authorities
have been enabled to act in the matter be-
cause OF death that has occurred on Gov.
ernment property.
The victim of Christian Science this time
was Ralph L. Saunders, the seven-year-olt
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James c. Saunders
whose death occurred at the home of Cap.
tain Sample, in Fort Porter, near Buffalo
N Y. George H. kinler and his wife
Elizabeth L. Kinler. were arrested at Buff
falo yesterday on warrants sworn out by
United States District Attorney Emory p
Close They are charged with manslaugh-
ter.
The matter was brought to the notice oi
the Federal authorities through Coroner
Wilson, OF Buffalo. Mr.. McCullaugh, OF
Fort Porter, called at the coroner's office
Monday and asked that official to issue the
certificate of death for the Saunders child.
In the regular course Of questions the
coroner found that although the child
had been Ill for more than three weeks he
had NO medical attention, but had been
given Christian Science treatment by the
Kinlers.
The coroner consulted with District At
torney Close and an autopsy was held,
which disclosed the fact that the child had
been suffering from pneumonia, both lungs
having been affected.
Mr. Close ordered q hearing before Unit
ed States Commissioner Robinson. All
parties concerned, except the child's pa
rents, were present at the time named. It
was decided that it would be inadvisable
to ask the parents to leave the coffin Of
their child to testify. and the hearing was
adjourned till today.
Warrants charging the parents with
manslaughter we're issued and will be serv-
ed today.
Mrs. Kinler was composed, but her hus-
band was nervous. In serving the war
rants Commissioner Robinson said that
every courtesy would be shown the defend
ants, and that satisfactory bail arrange
ments would be made. Attorney Edward
Tanner represented the Kinlers. Bail was
fixed at $500.
When asked If she had any statement to
make for publication Mrs. Kinler said: 1T
would be unwise to talk much, but you
might say that / have only been at Fort
Porter once since the child was taken sick
That was in a friendly visit, not profess
ional. 1t was my husbands case, and, as
you know, more than one healer in such q
case is hardly necessary"
Mr. Kinler refused to make a statement.
Mr.. Close declared he would push the case
vigorously.

the fact, of almost universal application,
that the vices forced upon these people by
the Spaniards in their treatment of them
have become part Of their natures. and will
have to be slowly and painfully outgrown.
1t will be a slow process, because, among
other reasons, the Americans who are to
set the example are not all paragons of
honesty, truthfulness. and probity.
Putting theories aside, and looking at
the situation squarely, 1t is evident that
the event will not be determined by any
logical or a priori considerations. Our
possession of the island is growing more
firmly rooted every week. and Americans

Gloucester Fisherman Albert First To
Go Ashore.
Tug Salem Went To Her
Assistance.
And Got In Even Worse Fix
Than Schooner.

Down off the spindle on the southern
side of Peaks island IN the White Head
passage. are penned up against the rocks
the schooner Horace Albert of Beverly,
Mass and the tug boat Salem of this
city. About three O'Clock yesterday after
noon the schooner, which had landed
about 10000 pounds of halibut which she
had gathered on the fishing grounds near
Sable island, started on her return trip
and while passing through White Hend
passage. she misstayed and got too far to
the northeast. The result of which was
that she got on the rocks before the
captain realized where he was.
About this time the tug boat Salem was
passing with scows. from the dumping
grounds, in tow. ana sesing the schooner
in distress the captain turned the scows
over to the Monitor and hastened with
the Salem to the assistance of the dis
tressed schooner.
ser, only short line, and in order to get
this line to the schooner he had to GO too
close to quarters and as consequence he
got the Salem on the rocks. In the mean
tins the tug Monitor proceeded to the
city with the scows and while doing so
kept blowing her whistles. The signals of
distress were heard by the captain of the
tug Belknap at Cushing's island, who
fastened to the scene of the trouble. He
threw hawser to the Salem and went
ahead on her and pulled her head of
shore when she listed and remained still.
The Salem filled with water and now re-
mains on the rocks. The schooner is
listed towards the Peaks island side aud
Is being beaten by the sea against the
rocks.
The Belknsp returned TO the city
bringing the crew of the Salem and ut
about s. 80 o'clock in company with the
tug G. A. Warren returned ID the place
of the wreck at the request of the captain
of the Horace Albert. who hop ed that the
schooner might be pulled of the rocks.
Arriving at the scene Captains Matthews
and McDuffie did the best they could to
get the schooner of, but were not success
full and had to return to the city about
Salem in q perilOus condition.
There is little hope Of saving the Salem
and If q storm should set in both the
schooner and the tug are likely to go to
pieces, being beaten against the rocks by
t he heavy sea which prevails In that
locality where they are wrecked.
The schooner is about 70 tons and her
captain is Fred Snowman. She belonged
to the Gloucester fleet and carried crew
OF about fifteen men. 1t is learned that
there was no insurance on the vessel and
at the time of the disaster she had on
board lot OF provisions, part of the
cargo OF the wrecked British liner Cas
lillian which her captain had purchased
while off Sable island on his last fishing
trim.
