as living at the beginning of the nine
teenth century "in an isolation like
that of the Jutes and Angles of the
fifth century have tanned a continent,
have covered it with a vast network of
the most magnificent railroads in the
world, have grown to be the largest
and most homogeneous nation on the
face of the earth, with a great world
movement behind it, and certainly a
great world part in the future before
it. 1t is because the man in the west
ern states today, in a dim, instructive
way, realizes these things, because he
has been himself a factor in it, that
he seems to be willing to take the
risks which more theoretical minds
hesitate at. That was the answer

Present Conditions in Havana.

Prosperity will come to Cuba at
once if the natives will get to work.
When 1 left there was every prospect
for good crops. The tobacco planta-
tions and sugar fields were in fine con-
dition, and the prices of tobaccos were
lower than dealers hoped for. If the
people could get rid of the idea that
they will never again be required to
carr their own living the island would
blossom from end to end. But it looks
to me as if this country will be forced
to take the island to pay for the ex-
pense that must be incurred in right
ing things. These natives will not be
fit to handle their w affairs for half

0bdnS Said to Be Lazy and Lacking in SetRe-
ged.- SpanldfdS for Annexation.

Havana is little more than a frontier
village today. That is, the conditions
made familiar to Americans by the
cowboy, gambler, bad man and SO forth
are all present here. Law is martial
only, for in spite of the proclamation
making the Spanish law the law of the
city, pending a revision of the system,
the town is remarkably free and easy.
I don't know about any of the other
cities of the island, for l saw one of
them, but the capital is a Grizzly
Gulch, or some such place, now, with a
big instead of a little population.
Everything is chaotic, although when
! left l couldssee a great measure of
Improvement"
According to William G. Harmon of
Chicago the foregoing paragraph epit-
omizes the situation in Havana today.
The chief city of the Antilles is so
much like the much-discussed cattle
camp that to an American the SINH
larity appeals irresistibly. Law indeed
exists, for the stern rule of the military
governor controls all and prevents
serious uprising. Yet one American
soldier, filled with the wine of the
cafes, is a terror to a platoon of Cuban
police. Local self-government, so says
Mr.. Harmon, is an idle dream. The
Cubans, in his judgment, are no more
fit to rule themselves than were the
negro slaves of the south the day after
they were liberated.
Another thing Mr.. Harmon noticed
was that every Spaniard in Havana
is for annexation to the United States.
One would naturally expect these men
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-07-13

to be greatly embittered toward the
nation which overthrow theirs, yet the
better classes-and these are all Span
iards-would regret the day that sees
the stars and stripes lowered from old
Moro. They fear the numerical SUI
p~eriority of the Cubans with their
childish innocence of the rudiments of
government. They prefer the strong
arm of Uncle Sam to the feeble and
vacillating control of any Cuban as
sembly.
Mr.. Harmon was in a position to OBJ
serve the conditions after the Ameri-
can occupation. He was a clerk in the
quartermaster's department of the
army, and as such was on duty in
Havana from late in October until a
few days ago. He served with Major
Baker, chief quartermaster of the city,
and in the course of his duties came in
contact with many kinds of people.
He is shrewd in business and gathered
a deal of information in an unostenta-
tious way. He is firmly convinced
that annexation will gradually come
about, as the Cubans will not avail
to prevent, and the moneyed classes

TACoN MARKET, HAVANA.

tacle, says Benjamin Kidd in the At
lantic Monthly. A little fringe of Eng
disappearing people, some 5000, 600 in
number, occupied the territory along
the Atlantic seaboard. The English
speaking territory is little more than
a patch on the map, surrounded by
territories belonging to n or other of
almost all the leading powers of Eu-
rope. Yet we look again toward the
end of the nineteenth century and a
wonderful transformation has taken
place; a later and vaster chapter of
the world movement, of which we had
the opening chapters in another hem
isphere, has been enacted. North,
south, west, from Atlantic to Pacific,
from seaboard to seaboard. the great
wave of English-speaking civilization
has flowed, submerging, nay, obliterat-
ing all other forms. Not a square mile
of territory, once won, has ever been
given back. The meaning of Wash
ington's farewell address to some g.
900, 900 of people, surrounded on every
side by hostile powers and hostile
natural conditions, appears to be lost
when the 100000 have grown to TO-
600, 900 and are already-reckoning the
day when they will be 200, O0O, 900. The
people whom Henry Adams described

"Since the lowering of the flag of
Spain the principal occupation of many
of the natives has been to parade the
streets, wave Cuban flags and sing
Cuba Libre.' They vary the monot-
ony by applying to the commissary de-
pots for food. They beg during the
day and parade at night unless dis
persed by the police, something they
resent with furious outcries. A beg
gar will quit his role of m~endicancy
for a while to join in a procession,
dancing and bowling about the streets.
The people do not seem to realize that
life amounts to more than this. The
whole thing is a huge farce.
"Of course, in a city where the only
law is that of military rule the condi-
lions for a time must be poorly defined.
With so many volunteers in or near
it is impossible to settle down to the
rightly Of the regular army. With
only a provisional government estab-
lished and that presided owe by a
military governor who can absolutely
veto anything done, a satisfactory au-
tonomy cannot exist. But so far no
Cuban outfit has been organized which
is able to handle things. 1t is doubt
full in my mind if there ever will be
one. The Cubans vastly outnumber
the Spanish and will not permit the
latter to rule or even have a voice. The
Spanish represent all the business abil-
ity and statecraft Of the island aside
from the American immigration.
"In the end / believe it must be a
government established by the United
States. Liberty such as the Cubans

form, and make a fine showing, but
one half-drunken American soldier is
able to stampede a whole platoon. He
does it, too, as often al he gets the
chance. While things are quieting
down a bit, and are much better than
they we're when I went there, the boys
have all kinds of fun with the police.
They come to the city and fill up and
then they make life miserable for the
poor coppers. Discipline is a
good thing and is kept up all right,
but a man away on leave, full of whis-
ky and fight is hard to restrain. So
the policeman has little sport in life.
THE Cubans are very abstemious,
but they make up in vividness of i'm
agination what they lack in artificial
exhilaration. Never do anything to-
day you car put off till tomorrow
seems to be the national motto. When
tomorrow comes the song is repeated,
SO that in the end nothing is accom-
plished. The city is being worked over
all the time, but it is very little clean
er than it was before the Americans
took hold. 1t will take years to make
Havana a healthy city.

VictOria's Number.

1t is notable that Queen Victoria was
to have passed through France on
March 9Th. The figure nine plays an
important part in the history OF the
English royal family. Queen Victoria's
father was one of nine sons; the
Queen is the ninth sovereign since the
tenth century. The Prince Consort
was born in 1919. The Qeeen has had
nine children. The Prince of Wales
was born on November 9th and mar
ried the Princess of Wales in her nine
teenth year. The Princess, too, is the'
daughter of Christian TX. of Denmark.

all Spanish-will be dissatisfied with
any other result of the occupation.
Those Cubans," continued MIR. Har-
mon, ARE mere children. In fact, a
boy Of this country of 10 years who
does not know more about running
things would be driven from a school
ground. After / became acquainted
with them and their characteristics
marveled that we found it necessary to
go there and fight for them. They
have about as much practical knowl-
edge of the liberty they think they
have obtained as a baby has of a
magazine gun. In fact, if the gun
should be unloaded the baby would
have the best of it.
THE Spaniards are the merchants
and business men of the city. They
have their all invested there and, of
course, do not want to lose it. They
are unwilling to trust their lives and
fortunes to any assembly of Cubans,
for they know just how little security
this means. 1t is not so much that
they fear they would be slaughtered,
for they are, many of them, natives of
the island. But the utter incapacity
of the genuine Cuban to govern him
self would leave them the prey to any
adventurer who should come along
and who should be smart enough to
gain the ascendancy.
ITO begin with, the Cubans are ex-
cessively lazy. They will accept any
thing you give them and accept it as if
it belonged to them. They are too in
dolent to work and will lie in the
courts Of buildings and die if not re-

think they have won would not do
them any good, so this nation, having
taken a hand, will be forced to hold
it to the end. Negro rule is no more
popular with the best grades of life
in Havana than it is in New Orleans.
This country maybe did not intend it,
but it is up against it. There Is a
chance to avoid the mistakes of the
reconstruction of the south. But II
they are avoided this nation must be
the power to accomplish the feat"

An obtuse, supercilious woman, who
evidently thought she was a lady, was
irving the patience of an old German
florist while making her selection of
of flowers for Easter. The collection
did not suit her, and after more or less
of unpleasant comment and criticism,
the old man became impatient, and
delivered the rebuke she needed. "Goot

Prof. A. W. Small is an optimist.
Nevertheless he thinks that he sees
clouds on the social horizon already
bigger than a mans hand. If they
continue to enlarge, in the shape OF
trusts, to the bursting point, the re-
suit will be, he thinks, something like
this: "The men whose business it is
tn communicate ideas to their genera
ton will be gagged by those who pub
,lish ideas; and the publishers will be
shackled by the manufacturers of pa
per; and the papermakers will be held
up and hindered by the transportation
trusts: and the transporters by the
producers of steel; and the steel in
dustries by the coal operators; and the
coal miners by the oil producers; and
the oil magnates by the stovemakers
and the oil consumers; and the cook
stove men and their aids and abetters
by the sugar trust; and the sugar in
terest by Wall street; and the stock
brokers aud spectators by the labor
unions; and the labor unions by the
farmers; and the farmers-God help
them-by everybody" A grim TRACE
DIV of combinations! Or rather a phil
osophical primer, that defines in a
homely way the antagonisms that will

a century. BY the time they could be
educated up to self-government we
would have them in the fold. That is
what is coming, in my judgment.
They will need a lot of civilizing
before they will come up to the stan
dard of the western hemisphere. For
instance, their cemetery customs are
revolving. Every family, a member of
which dies and is buried in a local
cemetery, is required by law to pay a
certain annual sum for maintenance.
Now, if the dues fall in arrears the
governors do not attempt to collect
from the living delinquent. Nothing
of the sort. They go to the cemetery
and dig up the body and toss the bones
in a CHASTITY heap in a veritable bone
yard There they lie exposed and
bleaching under the hot sun as a re-
proach to the living.
When the troops occupied Havana
they ran into several such horrible
things. At first they were supposed
to be bones heaped there as the result
of the wholesale executions of political
prisoners under the butcher Weyler.
When all was known the governor
general had nothing to do with these
bones. The bodies have been disin-

doubt that the re-

chants are strictly
true. Those Span
iards are high

full and honorable.
