Cuban-Americans VIII BE Allowed to
Vote in Cuba.

COMMUNICATIONS VIII BE Allowed to
Vote in Cuba.
A dispatch from Havana says: Governor
General Wood has decided to issue an order
that persons, Cubans by birth, who re-
nounced their nationality during the Span
ish regime in order to become American
citizens, but who are now ready to fulfill
the required conditions, may vote at the
coming elections. He also points out that
1t is generally recognized that these men
became Americans only for the purpose Of
self-protection and that they now desire to
resume their Cuban nationality as soon as
they can legally do so. This order will af-
feet more than 10000, and 1t may result in
complete change in the constitution Of
political parties, although It is believed that
the Cuban Americans will be fairly scat
tered among those existing.
There has been some talk Of forming a.
party exclusively composed of Cuban
Americans. Those who advocate this be-
lteve that such organization could control
the politics Of the island, because it would
hold the balance Of power and would WELD
powerful lever In the future The Cuban
Americans are for the most Dart well edu-
Gated, and should such an organization be
formed 1t would unquestionably be exceed
mgly influential.

dispatch from London yesterday says:
Special dispatches from Washington this
morning purported to give full details of in
structions issued by Secretary Hay, telling
the United States ambassador here, Mr..
Joseph H. Choate, to make representations
to the British government regarding the
seizure of the British steamer Sabine, from
New York, January f. with a miscellaneous
cargo, which was captured by the British
gunboat Thrush and taken to Delagoa Bay
and to make representations that Great
Britains action is regarded as ''unneces-
sary and as seriously interfering with
trade
II is admitted by the State Department
officials that instructions have been given
to Ambassador Choate at London to call
the attention of the British government 10
the seizure of the British steamer Sabine
with cargo from New York. Secretary
Hays dispatch to the ambassador it is
said, Is not protest, but Mr. Choate is di-
rected to make representations to the Brit
ish government, which, in effect, indicate
that the United States regards her action
as serious trade interference. The de-
partment at Washington is seeking to pre-
vent far as the eXigencies Of war per-
nit interference with American shipping
and with the commerce in which those in
terests may be engaged.

THE BICYCLE CLUB will conduct
another bowling tournament on

next week, and there is every indica-
ton of it's being as great a success as
the one just brought to a close. The
tournament on the Elk alleys will
soon start, also, and these two con-
tests will bring the bowling season to
a close, the most successful bowling
season which ever took place in Scran-
ton. The attention of the public has
been drawn TO the game and il has
now made itself the prime winter sport.

vision of the League of American
Wheelmen, intends to put into opera
tion his scheme for the holding of mass
meetings of cyclists, both members Of
the league and those who are not. The
first meeting will be held in Springfield
and others are planned for WorcesteN
Fitchburg, Lowell, Fall River, New
Bedford and other cities. The main
object will be to create an interest in
League of American Wheelmen work
and in doings in the cycling world.
The races which will be conducted
during the national meet of the League
of American Wheelmen, July 10-14 are
bound to be interesting ones. They
will be conducted under the auspices
of the National Cycling association,
and over $1,000 in prizes will be given
for the three days and two nights of
racing. One of the strong attractions
will be race between Zimmerman and
Sanger. the former champions, and a
novel feature will be the automobile
racing, to which a whole day will be
devtoed.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The subject of the outing, to take
brought to the notice of the Pedestrian
club. 1t was thought at first that the
contests would not take place, as a
slight misunderstanding was circulated
as regards the foot race. 1t was pub
1ished in the columns of the Tribune
Wednesday that the race was to be
between Eugene Tropp and Robert
Gardner, but it was afterwards ascer-
tanned that Mr.. Tropp would compete
with Arch Dean, also of Exeter. AS
Mr.. Dean has carried off number of
prizes for foot-racing, the event will
undoubtedly be very interesting. Mr..
Tropp is determined to win this con-
test or, perchance. he might be beaten,
he says that it will only be done with
the greatest exertion. 1t is hoped that
more interest will be taken in the af-
fair today than was manifested last
Saturday.
AS the weather begins to settle and
become fine the enjoyments of the
class in surveying begins to increase.
1t is the intention of Prof. Shimpff to

and woods for the purpose of having
practical lessons in surveying these
tracts. This part of the work is the
most enjoyable feature of the year and
is looked forward to with expectation
and delight by all those who take up
surveying. But everything connected
with this outing is not all lovely be-
| cause it means not only study, but
also hard work to survey a tract Of
land correctly and accurately.

suited somewhat seriously, and one

The MARRIAGE Problem

SHOW to be happy though married." has
been entirely solved to the satisfaction
of hundreds of thousands of women.
There can be no happiness without
health. The general health of woman
is dependent on the local health of the
delicate womanly organs. When there
are debilitating drains, or inflammation,
liberation or female weakness, happiness
in marriage is practically impossible. A
host of happy wives testify that the
secret of happiness in marriage is found
in the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. II dries the drains, heals ul-
ceration and inflammation and cures fe-
male weakness. 1t makes weak women
