THE MAJORS
BROTHER -IN-LAW
By Frank " lister.

It was a cheerful. go-as-yo u-please
crowd TIE place OF its gathering was
the hall Of a big hotel in a southern
city. and the occasion was the welcom-
ing OF an ex-Confederate general who
had come TO that city to be the chief
speaker at the unwilling OF monu-
ment Some Of those who sat there
smoking and talking over the past had

fact only ADDED variety to the color OF
the yarns that were told over for their

TRANSPORTATION IN CUBA.

One of the ablest papers in Havana
makes a striking comment on the
quiet but comprehensive changes
going on throughout tie island.
Natives and old residents gradually
realize that they are living in new
world. Spanish colonial habits of
thought are vanishing with Spanish
conditions. Old restrictions and ira
dltions are swept away and the
Cabans find themselves treated like
reasonable beings instead of mere
Vassals hampered on all sides by
arbitrary rules aid kept in subsection
by big army and ever-ready dun
geons. The Havana editor refers to
former times when efforts at reform
produced a great rhetorical noise
through the newspapers and orators,
but eventually came to nothing. On
the other hand, says this thoughtful
observer, sin these days of fruitful,
though silent work." radical reforms
are accomplished quickly anil surely.
stAn order of six lines, with a very
short preamble" ne continues, twill
represent some bold and benefcent
measure. I might say that for us a
thin sheet of paper separates the me-
diaeVal world from the nineteenth
century, and oftentimes the writing
Is not indispensable to enable us to
pass from darkness to light"
That is well and graphically stated.
The era of doing nothing, with
great food of stilted and insincere
language, has passed away in
Cuba. In most of the newspapers
OF the island there Is still
a needless amount of high-aown
tiiction and emotionallsm, but prac-
teal requirements and influences will
correct this in time. Many of the
features of Cuba's new birth can be
traced in an article by Gen. Leonard
Wood, commanding in the Province
of Santiago, in the May North Amer
ican Review. The people are taking
deep interest in school affairs. They
are anxious to learn, and the pupils
in the little schools are enthusiastic.
The Cnbans appreciate the im proved
postal facilities organized by the
United States. Gen. Wood says the
people are anxious to work and he
has no fear of general brigardage.
He advises ga firm but liberal and
just government of the people, for
the people, under American military
supervision for the time being;'' with
minimum of Americans in civil
Office and not too much centraliza->
tion of affairs in Havana.
Santiago province has been self
sustained since last October, not only
paying the cost of official service,
courts and schools, but furnishing
funds for roads and other pnhlic
works. and surplus of $250,oO0 for
sanitary improvements in the city
and harbor. General Wood believes
that the present revenues of the
island ere sufficient for its needs, in
cluding its charities. He sees no
necessity for large army in Cuba.
A mounted force of $50 native
policemen is sufficient in the province
he commands. OF course, the marks

REFORMATORY SHIP BURNED.
The Catholic Reformatory Ship CIar-
ence Burned in the Mer-
sey at Liverpool.

Liverpool, July 27.-The Roman
Catholic reformatory ship Clarence
was destroyed by fire. 1t was but
few moments after the fire was dis
covered until the great tbree-declxer
was wrapped in flames. Intense excite
ment prevailed until it became known
that the hundreds of lads and officers
or board the Clarence had been saved
by the ferry boats Mersey and Firefy,
which quickly made fast to the burn
ing vessel and began pumping water
on the flames. The boys on board the
Clarence worked with the utmost dis
cipline until they were forced to leave
tie ship with the officers. The cap
tain'S family and Bishop Whitesidc,
who spent the night on board the
Clarence, lost their personal effects.
The crew of the Mersey had narrow
escape, having barely time to regain
their own craft, which had the utmost
difficulty in getting clear OF the burn
ing vessel when the bulwarks of the
Mcrsey were beginning to take fire.
Three hours after the fire was discov-
cred the Clarence's back broke, and
che settled slowly. This was the sec
oud Catholic reformatory ship of the
same name that has been burned on
the Mersey river. Her predecessor was
fired by boys on board.
