Counsel Rubcns, of the Cuban Conmis-
sion. aho remained here to complete the
work OF that body. stated yesterday that
he had prepared for the commission an
address to the people of Cuba. which will
be distributed to the people of the island.
The address is in circular form, and voices
the desires of the late Gen. CaliXto Garcia
and the other members OF the commission
to the American Government
The address calls upon all Cubans TO
remember that they fought for independ-
encc. and not for annexation.
The work of the commission in Wash
ington is reviewed. and the address states
that the objects OF Garcias mission here
have been fully attained. The struggle
against Spain is reviewed, and the action
of Congress in stating that a stable gov
ernment shall be established is made
prominent.
The address states thai Cuba has not
fought for Il mere change of masters, bul
that her people may be their own mas
tiers.

1 people are iudolenr, uneducated, unfaithfu
/ and unable to govern themselves. Theil

desired that the question be settled finalls

that the Cubans made war and fought fo

We are none the less grateful to tn,

done to free Cuba from Spain they hav
but repaid the great debt which they owe,
to humanity, justice and the right. for tn
aid they received from Lafayette an

The Commissioners PovcrIeGs.
Il mean to say that the Commissioners
have absolutely no jurisdiction over the
superintendent of charities. He is ap
pointed by the President, and it is to the
President that he reports. We often send
for Mr.. Lewis. and he always comes. But
it is purely voluntary on his part. There
is 10 law to compel him to accept our in
vitation.
The office of superintendent of chari-
ties was created by Congress about 1892,
and the first superintendent was a Mr..
Warner, who resigned soon after his ap-
pointment 10 accept a professorship in the
Stanford University, in California. Colo

Mckinley then appointed MIR. Lewis to

If ! remember Alright Congress created
the Office for the purpose OF ascertainiug
just what changes were needed in the

Rome was great republic. 1t had
but few citizens among the millions that
were under the sway of its almost regal
power. That is to say, but few had the
right to voice in the government. All
the rest were subjects and slaves. The
great American Republic until this
Spanish war had no subject and for a
third of century no slave. Now we
have the Cubans and Puerto Ricans the
Hawaiians and few other tiihing peo.
pies. These are our subjects, unless we

"The department of justice runs one
of the biggest stationery concerns in
the country" said clerk Of that de-
partment. "We have to do shat to sup
ply the various officials of the depart
ment throughout the country. Not
many years ago o'lr stationery bureau
was used solely for the benefit of this
immediate department. Judges, clerks
of courts, marshals and other officials
throughout the country purchased
their supplies from stores in their cities
and towns and sent us the accounts to
pay. BY this method we paid the retail
price for everything. We found this
would not do, as the highest prices were
paid for everything. Under our pres
ent system every official of the govern
ment coming under our department
makes requisition on us for supplies,
and we send them at little cost, most of
the time by mail. AS we buy every thing
at cost prices we save to the govern
ment thousands of dollars each year
over the old method Of doing business.

loses or misplaces all the other kinds of
pencils, but finds this one to his liking
because he can easily see it. Right here
In the District of Columbia is Judge
who listens to arguments with six pen
ellis in his hands. He rolls these be-
tween his fingers while he is busy, and
never has less than half dozen. He is
not particular about the kind of pencil
he has. Other officials have peculiar
idas about the kinds of paper, pens and
ink they want, and they will have no
other. Thus, you see, we carry a more
