UNREST IN CUBA.
Trouble Feared Unless Our Govern
ment Takes Definite Action.

Havana, November 2S.-ANhOugh
there has been a great deal of exagger-
alton with reference to risings in dif-
ferent parts of the island. there is no
doubt that, despite the tranquility
OF the country, some apprehension ex-
lists lest within the next few months
some trouble should occur III the
event that the United States congress
does not give definite assurances res
.peating the future of Cuba. 1t as as
serted that many of the police, 2spe-
cially members of the rural guard,
have for several weeks been paying a
fraction of their salaries ITO a fund in
tended for use in case of an outbreak
against the United States.
lit is also reported that recruiting
for future emergencies is in progress
in various parts OF the island.
The best opinion, official and non-of-
fetal, rejects the idea, however, that
there will be any .rouble before the
beginning of next year.
General CollaZo, a veteran of the
Cuban army, and now editor Of The
Cubano, who fairly represents the
views of the Cuban revolutionary lead
ers, said today:
Judging from personal letters i
have received from Pinar del Rio and
recent interviews / have had with
prominent revolutionary leaders from
that part Of the country, feel justified
in saying that ait present Cuba is per-
fectly Tranquil, although, as the result
of General Ludlow's recent state
ments, and of the possibility of a
civilian governor general, a feeling Of
tension exists. Our people are waiting
for a declaration by the United States
congress. No one would be SO foolish
as to prejudice the whole case oy
starting a rebellion before we hav :
heard what congress will do. Cubans
regard the present issues as almost
vital"

THE HARDWICK BILL DEFEATED


Atlanta, Ga, November 2S.-The
Hardwick bill introduced into the low
er house of the general assembly for
the purpose of placing such limitations
on the negro vote in this state as TO
practically disfranchise the colored

today. the result of the ballot being 131
to 3.
The result was a surprise, as ii was
expected the measure would receive
strong support.
The Hardwick bill provided that no
person should be a competent voter
unless he was able to read and write
any paragraph of the constitution Sf
this state; to understand any para
graph of such constitution and to give
reasonable Interpretation thereof !;
provided, however, that no male person
who was on January l, 1867, or at any
time prior thereto, entitled to vote un-
der the laws of the state wherein he
then resided. and no lineal descendant

register and vote at any election in
this state by reason of his failure 10

by President Lincoln that he might Sc
cure clothes for the confederate prison
ers. He was not allowed Ito come south,
but made a "trip through the north and
secured a large amount of clothing and

In 1897 Ramsay succeeded Shack
elton as portrait painter to the court,
an appointment which multiplied
his commissions, especially for pic
lures of royal personages, to an in
ordinate extent, turning his studio
into a mere mandatory of por-
traits. Little in these but the head
was executed by himself, and even
the head in course of time fell to
pupils who, like Reimagle the eldeI,
had caught their masters manner.

coLoRED SOLDIERS.


~ Them.
That there is Gn army of about
25, 900 IN the United States and that
private soldier receives $iS per
month is about all the information
the average citizen Possesses on the
subject. Why any sane man of aver
age strength Of mind and body
should voluntarily deprive himself
Of the privilege of quitting his job
at a moments notice is another
mystery. The greater number of
military posts are located in the far
west, each location being selected as
q central point for troops in case of
Indian outbreaks. Thus, to the pres
ent generation, private soldier in
uniform is almost a curiosity, and
colored cavalryman is as great
curio as an Indian in war paint.
There are 2, 400 colored troops in the
United States in the regular army.
OF this number, six troops are locat-
ed in northwestern Nebraska, at
Fort Robinson. Here is found the
colored cavalryman. in all his ele-
ment. AS each troop has so men, the
800 cavalrymen located here at Fort
Robinson makes it the largest caval-
ry post in the United States Not a
white man is to be seen except the
commanding officers. Here is prac-
tical demonstration of how a negro
can be trained and disciplined into
doing work with the same energy
and promptness as white soldier,
and, when it comes to the test, show
ing the same bravery and endurance.
This was shown by the 80 mile ride
of the famous Seventh during the
Indian war at Pine Ridge agency in
1890, when they came to the rescue
of company Of white soldiers who
were surrounded and in danger Of
being cut off by the Indians.
These colored cavalrymen cannot
only do the work when it comes to
the trial, but have happy faculty
of keeping in good humor, always
laughing and chattering and as hap
py as children. That the life of
colored trooper is satisfactory is evi-
denced by the fact that fully one
half re-enlist after the first three
years enlistment expires.
Many people have the impression
that when a man fails in everything
else he can at least assure himself
that he may join the United States
army as last resort to keep alive.
But the requirements are such that
but few applicants successfully pass
the examination The candidate
must be unmarried, between the
ages of u and so, possess fair edu-
cation, pass a strict physical exami-
nation and bring recommendations
as to his moral character. During
July the Chicago recruiting station
accepted only 430 applications out
of 8, 1863 candidates who were willing
to share the lot of a private soldier.
The army is no longer place OF
refuge where a man who has lost
all hope and ambition may bury
himself from the rest of the world.
The private who is ambitious has
future here as well as in any other
occupation, for promotions are made
from the ranks. In July of each year
competitive examinations are held.
Those who successfully pass the ex-
animation are placed on the list for
promotions. Should a colored man
who desires to enter the cavalry
successfully pass the examinations
at recruiting station, he would be
assigned to one of the cavalry posts
in the west. t.-Indianapolis Journal.
