PTIVECUBANS RELEASED
From Prison in Response TO Appeals
OF This Country.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The long and
persistent efforts of the authorities
here IN behaaf of the Cubans arrested
by the Spanish authorities during the
Cuban struggle tor independence have
at last been rewarded with success,
word having been received at the de-
partment from the United States min
ister at Madrid, Mr. Belamy Storer,
that four of these Cuban exiles were
released from the Spanish penal set
tlement at BurgOs on the Sth inst.
These prisoners were sent TO Cadiz,
from which point they have sailed for
Cuba. Their names are Rafael Joyor,
Antonio Capablanoa. Julian Alvarez
md Roberto Rojos Hernandez These
men were political prisoners accused
during the regime of General Weyier
of disloyalty ITO Spain and sentenced
to. penal servftude for life or FOR a
long term of years. About twenty
other Cuban prisoners who have been
at che island of Ceutn or at Burgos
have been liberated and are now at
Gibraltar without funds to get back to
their homes in Cuba.
The release of these men has been
the object Of much solioitude by state
department officials, and bCsh Acting
Secretary Adee and the United States
minister at Madrid have continued to
urge that the prisoners be released at
the earliest possible time. The Gu
ban representative here, NJ. Quesada,
has also been alert in behalf of these
unfcntunates. Since friendly rela-
tions have been restored with Spain
the Spanish authorities have shown
disposition to accede to the wishes of
the United States in Ehis particular,
and the present action is looked upon
as an evidence of Spain's friendly at
titude.
Although the number released is
only a small part of the Cuban pris-
oRers held under exile, yet the begin
ming thus made is regarded with grea%
satisfaction by Mr. Quesada and his
Cuban associates here and encourages
them to believe that similar action
will be taken in the case of all of the
Cubans now held in captivity at Ceuta
and elsewhere.

present empress for the education of
the young women of the court circle.
Her father and the emperor had the
same grandfather, who was mikado for
nearly thirty years, therefore she
comes of the same blood as her future
husband The prince imperial is not
the son of the empress, but of the
Countess Anagiwara, one Of the con-
cubines. According to all reports he
is feeble youth and his health has
been the cause of such anxiety that
for several years he has been con-
stantly under the care of a medical
commission. His trouble is water on
the brain, and he is peculiarly sensi-
tive to diseases of the nervous system.

OUR COLONIAL TRADE
SdfiSfa tory Relations With
the New Possessions.
The Volume of Commerce Even
UHder the Depressing Conditions
of War is Approaching In Vol.
ume That of Reciprocity Years.

Washington, Aug. 3d. (SpeciaL)-
Exports frcm the United States to
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines were, according to a state
ment just prepared by the treasury
bureau of statistics, larger in the fiscal
year just ended than in any preceding
year in the history of QUE commerce
with those islands. Even the reci-
procity years, 1892, 1898 and 1894, in
States to Cuba and Porto Rico were
grently increased, do MT show as
large a grand total as does 1899 with
all of the Disadvantages OF war eondi-
tions which prevailed N Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines du.-ng a part
of the year
To Cuba, the cotal expert fer the
year does not reach the large figures OF
the two full fiscal years 1898 and 1894
in which the reciprocity treaty with
Spain was in operation, and to Porto
Rico the total export of 1899 was
slightly less sshan that of 1892, during
three-fourths of which the reciprocity
treaty was in operation, or 1894, in all
of which it opsTated. To Porto Rico
the total exports of the fiscal year
1899 are nearly 25 per cent in excess
of the year ago annual export during
the preceding decade; to Cuba, they
are nearly so per cent greater than the,
average during the preceding decade;
to Hawaii, they a.e more than twice
as much, and to the Philippines mcre
than three times as much as the aver
ajga annual exports during Jhe preced-
ing decade.
Those figures, it is proper t o add,
do net include the expectations to
the islands in question by the gov
ernment either for use of its .5roops
or in aid of the temporarily destitute.
While the total imports into the
UNITED States from these islands is
MT as Large as in cartier years of the
decade, this is due solely to the fact
that they did not have the supplies for
expectation, this being especially true
of Cuba, whose sugar plantations and
works were so largely destroyed dur
ing this WAR with Spain. Ths.S our
imports from these islands are rapidly
increasing, however, is shown by the
fact that those from Cuba in the year
1899 were &c per cent greater than in
1898; those from Porto Rico, nearly SO
per cent greater than chose of the
fiscal year 1898, and those from the
Philippines nearly 20 per cent in ex-
cess Cf those OF last year, while those
from Hawaii show a slight gain over
last year and an increase of 80 per
cent over the fiscal year 1897.

M'LEAN GOT 1T

GAINESVILLE, O., Aug. 30-The demo-
after day of dramatic plays. While
there were half dozen ether candi-
dates for governor, the Mclean men
claimed everything with such conf
dence that they undertook to be mag
Eanimous in the minor parts, although
they were at the same time careful
that at the start their candidate was
not eclipsed.
Mclean was nominated on the first
ballot by half vote. The name of
Bryan was cheered whenever it was
mentioned. The convention made
demonstrations over free silver, anti
Imperialism and anti-bossim.

The Designer of the Columbia.

SO much has been written of late des-
criptive of the Columbia and the Defen-
der, and SO little of the man who de-
signed not only these two great racing
craft but most of the American Yachts
which have won fame of recent years,
that the article on the " Herreshoffs of
Bristol" in the current number of Har-
per's Weekly, is one of uncommon in
terest.
Contrary to the general impression, the
Herreshoffs did not inherit their fame as
yacht designers from an older generation.
The business which they now conduct in
their yard at Bristol was built up by the
present partners, John 3. Herreshoff,
who, though blind, has managed the
finances Of the company with wonderful
success, and Captain Nat,i the designer
of the many famous yachts which have
come from the Bristol yards.
Captain Nat'' is a thoroughly scien-
tific builder, a graduate of the Boston
School of Technology, and a practical
engineer He made his early reputation
as designer of steam vessels. Later he
turned to sailing craft, and with what
success the records Of the Gloriana, the
Wasp, the Navahoe, the Vigilant, Colonia,
Defender, and Columbia will testify. The
family, as a whole, has always maintained
a curious reserve which is noticeable even
in the younger branches. They see as
little as possible of their neighbors in
Bristol, and their success has never APP
parently brought with it any social aspir-
atiOns.

All Only Son.
M lss AGRIC0LA.
Redfeld, Iowa.

We often see parents who have passed
the meridian of life with unbroken fami :
lies. In the trying period of infancy their
little ones We're spared. and in childh God
and youth the death angel passed them
by. But after reaching mature years per
haps the favorite son or daughter passed
to the summer land. At first it seemed
to the parents that there was nothing left
for them but the bitter in life, but when
they realized that they had other children
to share their love they felt more re-
signed.
When tie cold damps Of death gather
on the brow of only son or daughter it
must seem much harder for the parents
to bear. Not far from my home couple
reside who began the journey of life to
gether some years ago. They are indus
trious, frugal people, who are walking in
the straight and narrow path. Two chill
dren were born to them, son and daugh
ter. Their children were joyfully well
coined to their home. 1t was no task for
the parents to do for them early and late.
No doubt they looked forward to years
of enjoyment with their children.
AS the years came and went they had
their share Of LIES joys, until the son
showed symptoms of failing health. The
parents were untiring in their efforts to
do all that could be cone that he might
regain his health, but without avail. He
| slowly wasted away and fingered for
months. The last winter of his life the
parents left their home and resided in a
neighboring city, thinking it would be
more pleasant for their son.
They nursed him through the winter
with loving care. In the early spring the
summons came, and he left his parents in
the greatest sorrow. The little sister
realizes her loss and feels very lonely
without her brother. No doubt the par
ents are looking forward to the time
when, perhaps, their son will be the first
to greet them on the shining shore Then
they will know why he was taken when
he seemed SO needful to their happiness.
| GOD lends white blossoms to the world
To beautify and cheer,
| For perfumed buds are fair to view,
And birds glad songs to hear;
But when the blue sky leaden grows,
| And frosts of winter come
Should we rebel because that God
Calls His white blossoms home?"
"God places by our side oft times
| Companions who entwine
| Soft slken cords of happy love
About your heart and mine;
And when the angel Death swoops down
And softly whispers Come"
| Should we rebel because our God
Calls His white blossoms home?'

Something About Iowa.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JoURNAL:
Thinking that perhaps eastern people
may be little interested in Iowa, | will
make an effort to describe the State to you.
In the first place, Iowa is one of the best
farming States in the Union. 1t furnishes
more corn and hogs than any other State.
Its fruit crops are immense. In the south
central part the trees are laden with fruit.
Apples, pears, plums and some peaches
are raised here. In the southern part,
however, peaches are most abundant.
Thousands of fruit trees were killed by
the cold winter, but millions remain in
good bearing Much small fruit was dam
aged, but not SO badly as apples, etc.
Currants, blackberries, raspberries, straw
berries, are part, but not all of the prod
ucts, for everything that is good grows
here. Iowa is also a great dairy State,
the extensive plains being well adapted
to the raising of cattle.
One may find almost any kind of soil in
Iowa. In some portions the soil is not
very good for farming purposes; but when
prospected for coal may be found in
abundance In some parts it is best adap-
ted to the raising of fruit trees; in others
to farming.
Des Moines, the capital and largest city,
is located in the south central part. Du-
buque mining city and Davenport, a
commercial city, are located on the raging
Mississippi.
For colleges Iowa cannot be beaten
Her Agricultural college stands at the
head of all western institutions. Here
anything may be studied and mastered.
Cornell, Grinnell, and Simpson come next
Iowa City and Cedar Falls are also two
noted training schools for teachers; SO you
see Iowa is not far behind in the line of
education. 1t also keeps up very well in
the race in other particulars.
You hear old men say: "Well, | left
Maine thirty years ago, so I've kind of
got used to the western States, but yet [
think the old Pine Tree State is about as
good as any Every State has its good
qualities To those who have lived in Maine
so long. and are used to the numerous
lakes, ponds, rivers and the ocean,
suppose it is very hard for them to get
used to the prairie and level land we
find i'll Iowa. But for US, it would be
as hard to get used to water, fogs, long
winters, etc,
My father and his parents lived il
Maine for fifty years. He has been here
thirty years and has taken The journal
ever since he has been here. We all read
ii and enjoy in, even if we don't under
stand all your talk about the different
parts of schooners, yachts etc. The let
tiers of Fannie B. Wand particularly inter
est us.
[ think for tourists, and those who ex
pect to take a trip as a summer vacation,
Iowa is the very best place you can possibly
go. Just come and see What a fine State we
have made out of the wilderness where
the Indians used to roam at night. Come
spend your summer vacation in some
large airy farm house, and I'll promise
you iowa people will show you good
time.
