Mr.. Prang's Retirement.
New York Evening Sun.

Mr. Louis Prang, of Boston long known
as one of the most eminent photographers
in America, retired from business this week
The admirable work that he has done or
that has been done under his direction is
we'll known. Perhaps the most remarka BILE
OF all the achievements accomplished in
his house, in RoXbury, was the recently
published catalogue of the Walters colec-
ton, of Baltimore. The illustrations were a
revelation to photographers in Europe. On
seeing them, some Of the most skillful prac-
titioners in Paris refused to believe that
they had not been heightened with the
brush, and their doubts were pardonab bic,
for the skill with which the color. and the
very character of the surface, was repro
duced, was indeed almost Incredible

GEN. LUDLOW INTERVIEWED.
He Says Cubans Are Learning to Ap
preciate the Work of Americans.

NEW YORK, Nov S.-Brig. Gen. William
Ludlow, military governor of Havana. who
arrived in New York harbor yesterday on
the steamer Havana and was detained at
quarantine said to-day:
Il am glad to say that the feeling of Gu
bans towards Americans-whether the mill
tary representatives of the government or
others-has greatly improved during recent
months. The suspicion and distrust with
which perhaps a large number regarded
Americans for so long time after the mill
tary occupation was established has given
way in great measure to confidence and
cordiality. They convinced now, L
think. that our purposes are honest and
friendly and limited TO the organization and
development which are essential precursors
of the establishment of a stable native
government. Along with this conviction now
goes perception of the fact that these
preliminaries are not to be accepted so
easily and soon as seemed to them at first.
In other words. they see that our concep-
tion OF the task in hand was truer than
their own, and the most influential and in
telligent are now content to have us work
out the most OF the problem before intrust-
ing the conduct of affairs wholly to them.
The more We do the less there will be for
them to do and the more auspcously will
the republic start upon its career.
The necessity of doing our part of the
work thoroughly, so that there shall be the
smallest possible chance for failure of
self-government. makes il very difficult to
say when the military occupation ought to
end. There must at any rate, / should say,
be complete organization Of civil govern
ment and an experimental operation of it
under some degree of military supervision
before the armed regime is terminated and
the island handed over absolutely to its
own people The organizing of civil gov
ernment is proceeding prosperously
throughout the cities and towns of the
island. In many il is perfected in others
1t Is well under way; in the rest il is either
being undertaken or about to be. In
Havana, OF course, we have had for some
months complete municipal organization
and administration, but under military su-
premacy, which, however, is exercised no
more than Is deemed necessary.
Among the final preparations for the full
assumption of authority by the Cubans will
be the election of a constitutional assem-
bly, The date for that election has not
been fixed, nor have the details which must
attend 1t been worked out either by our
government or by the Cuban leaders them
selves. Hence am unable to reply to uues-
tionS touching the conditions under which
the election will be held. In regard to the
suggestion of an educational test for the
electors difficulty arises In the fact that
50 per cent. OF the population is iliterate
1t Is evident that il the new republic is
to be a popular government there canno,
be much of educational requirements for
the exercise of suffrage. In short particu-
lars relating TO the constitutional organi-
zation OF Cuba still belong to the future"

James ]. Jeffries and Thomas Sharkey
will be rewarded to-day for their labors
on Friday night. They will receive their
share of the gate receipts. A meeting will
be held at the Delemar Hotel, when the
officials of the Coney Island Club will turn
over the money to the principals
1t was said last night that the total re-
ceipts of the fight were s6S.S4s According
to the articles the fighters will receive two
thirds of the amount, or s44, ,56i AS the
winner Jeffries will receive 75 per cent,
amounting to $33.423. Sharkey's share will
be the remaining % per cent. or. 81, ,1l.
Jeffries's share Of the receipts is the larg-
est ever received by a prize fighter for win

These receipts are not the only winnings

$500. while Sharkey gets $1,000.
The largest financial income to the prin-
cipals will be in the reproduction of the big
fight. Both fighters have third interest
In the pictures, and ii is estimate that at
least 100000 will be derived from this source.
This would give Jeffries and Sharkey a
little over $150.oC0 each in addition to the
purse.
The biograph company is not worried over
the taking Of pictures by rivals who sue

Mr.. White or his friends who claim TO
