That the Spaniards in Mexico City de-
plo.e the occupancy OF Cuba by the Amer
loans is evidenced by this choice excerpt
from the columns of Correa EspanoI. the
organ of the Spanish colony:
Civilization has disappeared from Cuba
with the disappearance of the Spanish flag
No spectacle could be more repuls've The
American soldiers have converted the
beautiful park there into 3 camp. There
they eat. there they drink, and there they
waIlow freely like hogs In the creek on
a summer day. Oh. what sad page to
history for the human face Is the United
States writing in Cuba and the Philip
pines' What a step backward in the path
OF ciyilizatio has been taken by North
America in letting loose its immoral and
cynical soidieTy on those unhappy coun-
tries"
II IL interesting Ia learn that civilization
has disappeared from Cuba with the disap-
pearanee 81 the Spanish flag The death
rate at Havana has decreased 81 per cent.
and that OF Santiago 70 per cent with the
advent OF the American Hag.

NEW SCHOOL ROOM WANTED.

Renting private buildings for public
school rooms is habit which the city
81 Seattle should rid itself OF as prompt
ly as possible Means for the relief Of
the practice are available. and they
should be made use OF at once.

especially Of those OF the Central dis
trict, without feeling convinced that a
situation exists which ought 10 be rem
edied Attendance upon the public
schools has been constantly increasing
at the rate OF more than 1000 pupils per
year. yet the number of rooms fer
teaching remains practically without
change. Over 100 children have been
forced out of the Central school build
ing because of the growth in the classes
Of the high school, and have been COM

The authorities have been asked to

thus far nothing has been done They

Of $50. 900 with which to inaugurate any
desired extension Of buildings or any
alterations in those now in use The
voters, who. through their children. feel
the consequences Of the present neglect,

The people Of Puget sound have not
only just cause for complaint in the al
most total neglect Of their naval sta
ton, but also in the fact that San Fran
cisco has been made the point Of de-
partuTe for all transports bearing
troops and supplies for Manila. with
single exception When IL is considered
that the distance to Manila, via Homo
iuiu, lis $50 miles from San Francisco,
and only 5.s25 from Puget sound, via
Yokohama. the reasons for this action
seem inexpIicabIe 1t may be that the
war department still considers the earth
fiat. and San Francisco looks nearer on
the map.
II the rotatdity of the earth had been
taken into consideration and the prin-
eipie OF great circle sailing applied TO
the problem, 1t would have been dis
covered that Seattle is ZOO miles nearer
Manila than San Francisco. Thousands
OF troops were transported several hun
dreds Of miles farther TO San Francisco
and left TO experience the vicissitudes of
Its harsh and dangerous summer eli
mate. The result was much sickness
and many deaths. Had these same
troops been encamped near Seattle or
Tacoma. instead Of sickness and death.
they would have gained health and
strength. Even our own Washington
boys were taken / 900 miles farther from
Manila. and kept for months at san
Francisco.
There are only two possible ex-
plantations of this action of the war
department One In ignorance of
existing conditions at San Francis
co and PuSct sound. And the other
IL that San Francisco and Cnlifor-
ington thaa has Puget sound md
the state of Washington. The last
reason II the more tcnabIe.
II would be interesting to calculate
the large sum OF money unnecessarily
expended by the government in thus
fayoring San Francisco. The extra coal
alone consumed by the transports in
steaming 1000 miles farther on each
round trip would amount to many
thousands of dollars And then the
government paid, OH an average. at
least 81 per ton more for coal than would
is 10 be hoped that all these facts may
be brought to the attention Of the war
department.
