Cuban independence

The reports brought to us by cable
that convention is te be arranged

Cuba, must convince the most Scep
teal that the United States is deter
mined to keep its premises TO the
letter in reference to that Island.
The details of the manner in which
this will be accomplished are of cour
90 not yet known, but that the rsn.
unciation OF authority Of any kind
by the American Government in
connection will Cnban affairs will
be absolute, is assured.
General Wood declares to leading
Cubans that as soon as Independent
ce is decrsed, the United States will
remover permanently from the Isl
and and leave it to be governed by
ito own inhabitants.
This declaration was received With
great jubila:iOn by the Nationalist,
or, as it was formerly called, the re.
volutionary party. 1t is what they
have been striving for oil their lives
and they are naturally in high spir
its when they can see in the near
future the fruition Of all their hopes,
the attainment Of what they have
during so long a period fought and
suffered for.
But there appears to be, on the
other hand, considerable csnservat

extent of the mo-e wealthy and pro
psrty owning class, who are not so
sanguine Of the great advantages to
spring from giving Cuba absolute
independence, and leaving it entire

Those holding these views are
known az the Annexation Party,
and the newspapers of ttis party,
commenting upon General Woods
declaration predict that soon after
independence is attained, the Island
will be petltioning the United States
to be annexed.
This may or may not be. At
present, the annexation party in

elections there, in hopeless minor.

why Tower, and No. Castle.

London's most famous historical
building was named the Tower" and
not the Castle" Of London. Most
fortresses of Norman construction in
England keep the name OF castle; Lon
don's Norman fortress alone bears an
other title. The reason Is to be found
in the methods of Norman military
architecture. A Norman fortress was
constructed of a tower or keep. with an
attendant castle, each having the same
relative importance. The nrst Con-
stable of the Tower called himself
Constable of the Tower Of London
and its attendant Castle" Whereas
In the case Of most such buildings in
England the name castle has survived
longest, In the case of the principal
fortresses at the capitals of Normandy
and of Norman England the tower was
the chief part OF the fortincations.
Thus the castle at Rouen, like the
castle at London, always has been
called the Tour de Rouen." Tho
White Tower was SO called because Its

The first step in statistical tabula-

tstics reveal also the consciousness
which men have OF their resemblances'
and their differences. 1t Is statistically
known that the geographical distribtI-

to those parts of the country where
men of their own blood and speech are
already established. Intermarriages OF
men and women of different nationaii-

exist, and infrequent where different
nationalities profess different faiths.
The statistics of political elections are
quite as much statistics OF the con-

be named. 1t Is this: From the first
known beginnings of statistical re-
search to the present time every extern
sion of statistical inquiry has been In
a large measure due to the conscious
ness of kind. The first statistical sur
