BRIGHTER FOR CUBA.

Of the Question.
Bandera Joins Gen. WOOd-Leader of the
lnsurrection Accepts Position With
Peculiar MISUNDERSTANDING
Root at Tampa.

MATANzAs, Cuba, March 4.-Gen. Jas.
II. Wilson, military governor of the de-
partment of Matanzas-Santa Clara, in
the course Of an interview today re-
garding Cuban affairs, said to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press:
Trouble is absolutely out of the
question. The future depends largely
upon agricultural prosperity, aud
where work is plentiful wages are good
and country is prosperous, no sensible
man wishes to alter the conditions.
Any person who publishes reports
representing the Cubans as preparing a
rising docs so with malicious intent to
nisrepresent them or because he has
been led to believe this by those who
know better. The prospects of Cuoa
are very bright. If sugar goes to the
United States free or nearly so, there
will be such an influx of capital and
immigrants as would render Cuba ere
long one of the richest and most pros
porous places in the world.
The cattle industry yields enormous
profits, particularly as respects work
ing cattle, which can never be replaced
~ AAuACo- btNduSC tue pcCulluT CO0Ol-
tions are better adapted to cattle. Cof-
fee, timber and fruits also offer great
inducements to capitalists, and tobacco
planting yields almost immediate re-
turns.
Il do not consider that the immediate
future of Cuba depends chiefly upon
schools, road-making, improved santa
tion or Judiciary reform, although, of
course, these things are of very great
Importance. The best thing the United
States can do for Cuba and the Cubane
Is to give every opportunity for inn
proving the value of the land by putting
1T to the best uses. In this way capital
could do an immense amount of good
here, as well as get large returns.
suggest supplying cattle for working
purposes on a time basis, accepting
regular rates of interest, which should
be about per cent. a month. Cattle
can be landed here at n cost of $40
yoke, which, once here, would bring
more than $50.
Large numbers of working cattle
are required by reliable and hard-worl1-
ing men who are anxious to obtain
them. Were l a man of p with energy
and some capital, should certainly
look upon Cuba as one of the best places |
to accumulate wealth"

Cross-Eyed Women.

All soldiers share the common SUI
perstition against meeting a cross
eyed woman. \ reservist who re-
Gently journeyed to Aldershot to re-
join his regiment under orders for
South Africa, wrote to friend on the
eve of his departure for the front:
81 shan't come back this trip, old fell
low; there was a cross-eyed wench
in the train as L came down to join
She looked at me all the time, con-
found her, and you know what that
means. l shall get the knock this
journey" The poor fellows gloomy
fOrebOding came true-he was one of
the Grenadicrs who fell at Belmont,
and his fate has strengthened in one
or two minds at all events the belief
that the sight of cross-eyed woman
is inimical to the safety of a soldier
going on active service. On the con-
trary, a crOss-eyed man is not anath-
ema to Tommy Atkins, for the
sight of him is supposed to bring
good luck.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
