against the United States, saying in
part:
Surface appearances are often very
misleading, especially when one wishes
to ascertain precisely the direction and
force of Inducements. The American
papers are nisled by the visible placid
ity Of the Cuban people and think that
a general state of contentment exists
over the island.
I'VE who are more intimate with the
masses, can assure the American pa
pers that there is much silent discon-
tent among the Cuban people. Much
could have been done if the Cuban sec
retaries had had clearer ideas regarding
their duties Cuba has not been a
transformed paradise. We have no ser
penis here; and, if we have a whole
tribe of bloOd-sucking vampires, which
threaten US with a loss of the life-sup-
porting fluid, they at least can not lead
US to spiritual predition."
Americans here are astonished at this
attack Before the members of the
Union Democratic party discovered that
they were in the minority in Havana
they claimed that they were Americas
best friends representing the old au-
economist party, the wealth and intelli-
gence of the island. Beyond this they
represented that they were conservative
and did not desire radical changes.
Now the columns of their organ abound
in sarcastic illusions to everything
American.
At a meeting of the municipality of
Havana a member of the council said
he understood that Captain Pitcher,
police magistrate and supervisor of po-
lice had ordered the police CAPTAINS
to learn English. The mayor replied
that Captain Pitcher had merely made
a suggestion, but had said nothing in
the nature of an orde-
Several councilmen protested strong

GOMEZ'S PLAN.
It is Received With Disfavor in All
Quarters.

Havana, June 6.-All the political par
ties through their representative news
papers have pronounced against the
plan of General Maxine Gomez to
amalgamate the party organizations.
Members of the cabinet say the scheme
is not feasible, as such an election would
not carry any official recognition from
the United States. More than this, they
assert that an amalgamation is unnec-
essary, as they have an assurance from
the United States government, that
convention will be called as soon as
possible after the elections, of all the
elected mayors to form constitution
which will be presented for ratification
to the next congress. Consequently, as
carry out his plan of taking a plebes
cite, it would make even the friends of
Cuba believe it impossible for the Gu
bans to do anything without fighting
among themselves

HOT MORNING BREAKFAST.
Comfort Depends on Food.

It is not so easy to arrange a tempt
ing breakfast for a hot morning, but
everyone appreciates such a breakfast
and enjoys the relief from the heated
blood caused by a meat and coffee
breakfast
In fact by skillful selection of food,
even the hottest day can be made quite
comfortable.
Start with fruit of some kind, then
a dish of Grape Nuts food with cold
cream, one or two soft boiled eggs, a
slice of bread and butter and a cup Of
cocoa or Postum Food Coffee. On that
sort of meal one win be fully nourished
until the midday.
Cirape-Nuts food is concentrated and
powerful. imparting to the user a sense
of reserve force and strength The
strong man thinks the weather moder-
ate and comfortable when the nervous,
weak man thinks it unbearably hot.
Grape Nuts food is perfectly cooked at
the factory and ready for instant use,
cool and delicious, requiring no hot
stove and cross cook on a hot morning.
Health Is a matter of wise selection
OF food and contented mind"

EMERGENCY ORDERS
Issued to the Indiana and Massa-
chusetts by Secretary Long.

chusettS by secretary Long
Washington, June 6.-Seeretary Long
has issued an order for an experiment
Of the utmost importance to the navy.
The purpose is to see how much time
would be occupied in putting into con-
dition for active naval service a part
OF the United States fleet to meet an
emergency. The vessels selected Tor
the experiment are the battleShip In
diana and Massachusetts,, now laid up
IN ordinary at League island with
skeleton organization Of officers and
men aboard. Captain Dickins com
mands the Indiana and has six Off
GERS and about $50 men under him. The
Massachusetts is under command of
Captain Train with fOCr officers and
about $50 sailors.
Orders We're telegraphed Admiral
Casey. the cOmmandant of the League
Island yard. and the two captains
above named to put the ships into con-
dition for immediate service to last at
least sixty days. No notice had been
previously given of the departments
intention. By the terms of the order
the ships must clear League Island in
side Of three days The officers who
have projected the experiment hope to
do better than that The ships each
have about $50 tons of coal aboard, but
must be supplied with food, maps, bed
ding, ammunition. etc
The hardest question to deal with
in the present straits of the navy is
that Of personnel. officers were wired
at once and it was necessary to rob
some Of the bureaus Of the navy de-
partment of much needed assistants.
The officer most remote from League
Island is Lieut.. Wilson at Boston, so
that ali Of them should be aboard ship
by tomorrow might The Hartford 5
crew now at Norfolk has been ordered
to leave for League Island and from
the Indiana and Massachusetts will be
brought uD to the standard. About
800 men and twelve officers will be re-
quired for each battleship.
