CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
General Wade Says He Does Not RelcV, There Is
Any Danrer OF Trouble 1hrre.

Chicago, Feb. Elm referring to the
situation in Cuba, Brig. Gen. James F.
Wade, who is enroute to st. Paul where
he goes TO take commend OF the de-.
partment of the Dakota. which position
he held previous TO going To CUBA, said:
II do not think the United states
need anticipate any trouble. Gomez 8
last communication TO the president in
which he accepts the terms offered by
this country has practically settled that
as far as the insurgents are concerned
The benefits which will '"sult to this
country through the late campaign viii
be enormous and I bel I'VE have been
generally under estimated rather than
overestimated / believe most Urrlly in
the policy of territorial expansion. |
don't think that the increase Of the
standing army 90 100000 will give us
one more than we need"
When shown the dispatches from
Manila giving an account ~ the attack
ON the American forces by the insur-
gents, Gen. Wade said: "Well, that
looks like business or course there is
nothing left TO do but n~ht ard | don't
think there can be any loubt OF the
result Of course " Us greatly 80 pp
regretted that hostilities hav, hcen
commenced but it certainly does not
seem to have been the FAULT OF the
Americans. I suppose the FilipinoS
thought from our apparent unwilling
ness Co fCht that we were afraid OF
themselves Thev probably have dis
covered their error"
Further than this zen. Wade was
unwilling tor discuss the matter.

The World Is Largely Ruled by the Tra'
ditIOnS OF Former Times.
GREAT WRONGS WE HAVE INHERITED.
To Many Of Them We Sill Cling Judges Assum-
Ing Imperial Powers IN In uss Of lrjunc-
tons "A Serious Condition.

At the Hollis Street Theatre. i'm Bos-
ton. last evening. the Rev. B. Fay Mills.
formerly OF this city, took as his theme
The Tyranny of the Dead" His SER
mon was a rather remarkable one and
among other things he said
Let Us first pay tribute TO the past.
Our debt 10 the dead is unspeakable.
Wo do not disparage this, when we con-
slider tonight the other side of the ques-
tion. For good or i'll, the world is large
ly ruled by the dead Customs, lam
guage government, fashions. laws, re-
ligion are our inheritance. Even in
this age of progress we have originated
little. Try To imagine in what condition
we should be and what we would do II
all the past could be annihilated and
we could start afresh.
our system of education Is largely
tyranny. as well as a benefaction OF
the dead Emerson. Phillips and others
of our great souls have borne their tes-
timony GH INST IL. The true education
is that awakens original power
to make Ie chic Ftudy, as 10
study the child 10 IN \ to his best
development.
In religion nine Of the race
are under the despU Of the dead.
Not one out of a hunured deVotees of
any religion can give any reason for
hts oppions and practice beyond this;
Dead men did It,"
our ideas OF property and economics
are burdens imposed ON us by the dead.
Whitman wanted To live with animals
because mot one of them was afflicted
with the mania of owning things
What sane reason can be given for the
inheritance of large amounts of prop
erty? why should Jacob Astor
control New York real estate for 80
years after he has left the flesh? Why
should men who died a century ago die
tate what teaching shall be given stu
dents at Andover today? Why should
our government he able 10 issue bonds
10 bind our children and their children
for payment? Why i'm Christendom
are there 100000 900 people who never
have enough TO eat? There Is only one
answer-"It is our willing subservency
10 the tyranny Of the dead"
When we consider our so-called adj
ministration Of justice. we find the con-
ditions worse yet Some of our judges
are assuming in ial power In the use
lawyer recently wrote To the press that
some authorities claim that this is "A
privilege that even legislation cannot
take away. Ten wise men could make
a saner and juster system in weeks $
deliberation. Nine-tenths of our laws
and of our suits at law concern prop
erty. which would all be made unneces-
sary IL we had rational economic sys-
tenn. Our capital punishment is social
crime, inherited from the dead. and is
a confession OF the weakness and pu-
of society.
In the name Of the great and electric
age. let us wake up and try to be our
selves. Let us prove all things, count
ing nothing too sacred for our testing,
and hold fast only the good.

Sousa's present tour Of the country is his
fourteenth with his famous band. A tour
may not seem to the average person an ex-
traordinary undertaking, nevertheless, Il
he will but figure up the liabilities for a
moment the result will be likely to startle
him. Surprising a tour lasts 20 weeks !:
this means that about so high-salaried
musicians are to be kept busy in two con-
certs daily, staff of management, repre-
sentative, and others necessarily on the
alert, and seeing to it that every detail of
arrangement is perfected and carried out
for special trains, the moving of baggage,
the careful arranging for concerts, and a
hundred and one lesser matters, all put
through at lightning speed, at an average
expense of $500 day. In 20 weeks there
are 14O days, whose gross iabilitie, in
CURED, amount to SIP, 900, which easily
reaches $115,0 by the time the tour is
finally ended. The present tour being the
fourteenth, it i, instantly seen what Sousa
and his manager have undertaken and paid
out, not less than round million dollars
in seven years.
For this tour Sousa has prepared an un-
usually bright and attractive program. The
soloists are Miss Maud Reese Davies. So
prano; Miss Dorothy Hoyle, violiniste,
and Herbert l.. Clark, cornetIst.
The date for the Sousa concert here is
May ! at the opera house.

The intense heat in these after turrets is
caused by the draft Of the vessel, which be-
ing from forward to aft drives the heat
from the engine and boiler rooms. Cron-

excellent shooting, the best Of any gunnt
