BRITAIN GETS CUBA'S TRADE,
Money Making Opportrnities Arc
Slipping Away From Americans,

ohpp'nR AWAY from Americans,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 0.-Charles f.
w. Nicely, director of finance for the
postofices of Cuba, had a long confer
enee with Acting Postmaster General
Heath yesterday. lie said to a re-
porter that the Cubans were much
pleased with the new postofice sys-
tenn which was improving daily. He
thoA ght IL was a mistake to have mil
itary men govern the Cuban people.
The British, he said, are stealing a
march on Americans in the islands,
and unless the capitalists of this
country moved quickly they found
that some splendid money.making op.
~portunities were gone forever. The
English had bought up the railroads
and were going to extend existing
lines through the provinces which
are still without railroads Unless a
stronger effort was made to control
the Cuban trade the British will
get it.
Another thing that will handicap
Americans, in Mr.. Necly's opinion, is
that in previous dealings with Ameri.
cans the Cubans were not fairly dealt
with. Cuban merchants did not re-
ccive anything resembling the samples
which were shown them when they
gave orders, and hereafter houses in
New York, Philadelphia and Boston
will find 1t hard to deal with them.
Furthermore, American firms refuse
to give the Cuban merchants long
credit, although foreigners are will.
ing to do so.
AS to annexation, he added, the
Spaniards are in favor of it, although
the richer Cubans do not seem to be.
lie cordially commended General Lud.
lows suppression Of the newspaper Ell
Reconcentrado, saying that it was a
disgrace to journalism. Blanco did
not allow the paper to be published,
and 1t was suppressed until the Amer
leans assumed control Of the island.
CHICAGO, Aug 9.-"More than $l0,-

English firms control the Cuban to-

porters OF Havana tobacco will have
hereafter to look to the English for
these goods"
James Grontham of London, o rep
resentative of English capitalists, who
was in Chicago yesterday on his way
to the Pacific coast, is authority for
this statement. He has just returned
from Cuba Comparatively recent in
vestments Of English capital in Cuba

He said: 1T Is only q matter Of q

that the food is really pre-digested. by

Interview With a King.

An ex-Minister to Greece from this
country, Mr.. Fern, recently told astory
to illustrate the simplicity of manners
in the court of Athens.
Commodore -, then Captain of the

ago in command Of a warship at Ath-
man, who avoided all society but that
of the family of the Minister, who had
long been his friends. One day he
came in, and with a look of annoyance
produced a card stamped with the royal

shall do at royal banquet"
You will enjoy the dinner" his
friends said. King George is a man
worth knowing, on or off a throne"
"Well, I can't 60 I'll decline have
another engagement"
THAT does not matter You must go.
A royal invitation is a command
The Captain grumbled, but his
friends laughed. Come and tell US
about the banquet when it is over, :"
they said.
The morning after the dinner the
Captain appeared with beaming
countenance. "I am amazed he said
II was ushered into parlor where a
pleasant, intelligent looking man was
sitting, with one child on his knee and
another beside him. He shook hands
as cordially as any American gentle
man would have done.
"'These are my children, he said.
We are telling riddles. Can you guess
riddles, Captain?"
I'VE told riddles, and then played
games. The fun almost degenerated
into a romp. The little Princess sat on
my knee, and when dinner was an
nounced and the children were dis
missed they clung to me and begged
me to come again. If all royalties are
like these, there is nothing in them to
be afraid of or to dislike
The Captain afterward became the
trusted friend of King George, who
doubtless discerned in him the qualities
which have since made him a we'll
