CUBAN STATISTICS.

The results of the Cuban census
which was taken under the auspices of
the War Department, have been made
public. The regular census bureau had
nothing to do with the work, save Civ
ing advice and revising the schedules
which were used. The schedules were
printed in Spanish, and contained some
curious questions which had better be
kept in Spanish. Hawaii did not con-
should be asked.
Some of the results of the Cuban CEN
sus are striking. 1t was thought that
the white votes would be overshadowed
by the negroes or colored people, The
results show that there are 80 900 quail
fled white voters to $4,000 colored. The
total population of the Island is 1,572,-
1917. The population before the war was
called 1,631,6S7 This would give a loss
of $4,000 odd in consequence of the war.
But 1t is really greater, for allowance
must be made for natural increase, and
if this is allowed for the loss during
the rebellion may be put down at about
100000.
The illiteracy of the Island is terrible.
Nearly three-fourths of the population
can neither read nor write. Compare
this with the Hawaiian population OF
which over "a per cent can read and
write. What kind of vote is going to be
got out of a completely illiterate sec
ton of the population? But of a total
population of 1,572,797 only 443, 426 can
read and write. 1t is a very terrible
indictment of Spanish rule, and a terri
BILE prospect for the political future.
! A curious point in the census of the
Island is the large number Of
Chinese. The Chinese are every
where. 1t was only by this mail that
a consular report came to hand show
ing that Chinese firm was one OF the
most prominent at the principal seaport
of Madagascar.
The information about Cuban popula-
ton has been thus condensed:

1,572,797. including S15,205 males and
| 757, 592 females. There are 447, 1872 white
males and 462,926 white females of ma
tive birth. The foreign whites number
1l5,76 males and 26,45S females. There
are 111,S98 male negroes and 122, 1906
female negroes. The mixed races num-

City is 235,9S1, and of the province of

province of Matanzas is 2O2, 444, of Pinar

THE QUEENS HOSPITAL.

The loss of it's estates will seriously
cripple the Queens Hospital, and it
will have to come to the public for full
support. The excellent manner in
which the Hospital has been conducted
has shown how great a necessity the
Hospital is. But excellent as the work
has been it has been carried on as a
private corporation disbursing in part
public funds, and has been of necessity
run on narrower lines, than it would
have been if it was an entirely public
institution.
There has been complaint and the
complaint will continue to grow, that
only one class of patients can be treat
ed free in the Hospital. If however the
Queens Hospital has to come for more
funds upon the Territorial Treasury, it
will have to have it's charter modified,
and it's lines will have to be consider
ably broadened.
In saying this there is no reflection
upon the conduct of the Hospital
When it was erected conditions were
very different from what they are now.
During it's career it has done an enor-
nous amount of good, but the time has
come when it will have to do far more

but it would become the Territorial or,
1t may be, the County Hospital, when
we get county divisions. 1t need not
change its name, and could remain the
monument of the philanthropic efforts
OF Queen Emma and Kamehameha ".
But it would be working on basis of
more extended usefulness and more
universal charity.

A MISCALCULATION

The campaign against Japanese pro-
curers has ended in the defeat of those
who instituted it, This does not mean
that the cause, Mr.. Richards has ex-
poused, is lost. 1t only goes to show
that a grave mistake was made in
framing the charges Mr.. Richards
has given his attention for some years
to the careful study of the seamy side
of the lower Asiatic life. 1t is no Won
der that he should, after so thorough
and careful a study, have an intense
horror of it. He is an enthusiastic
man in his chosen vocation, and natur-
ally is magnetic. With such views, and
such enthusiasm he entered the courts,
and found legal talent willing to assist
HIM.
Entering the courts and winning a
case is a very different thing. When
enthusiasm comes under the cold light
of law, with its reasons for this and

Q CHAPTER X

One of Col. FroSt's consuming ambi-
tions was to be the head of his depart
ment. with. the rank of brigadier gen.
eral, but heohad strong rivals and knew
it. Wealth he had in abundance 1t
was rank and power that he craved.
-Four men-all with better war records
and more Xperience-stood between
him and that coveted star, and two of
he2four were popular and beloved men.
Frost was cold, selfish, intensely self
willed, indomitably persevering, and
though ''close-fisted;' to the scale of n
Scotch landlord as a rule, he would
loose his purse strings and pay we'll
for services he considered essential.
When Frost had consuming desire he
let no money consideration stand in the
way, and for Nita Terriss he stood
ready to spend small fortune. Every
body knew Mrs. Frank Garrison could
never dress and adorn herself as she
did on poor Frank Garrison's pay, and
when she appeared with dazzling
necklace and a superb new gown at
the garrison ball not long after Frost
and his shrinking bride left for their
honeymoon, people looked at her and
then at each other. Mia Terriss was
sold to Jack" Frost, was the verdict,
and her shrewd elder sister was the
dealer. Mrs. Frank knew what people
were thinking and saying just as we'll
as though they had said it to her, yet
smiled sweetness and bliss on every
side. Frankly she looked up into the
faces of her sisters in arms: II know
You like my necklace. Isn't it lovely?
Col. Frost's wedding present, you
know. He said I shouldn't give Mia
away without some recompense, and
this is it, % %
But that could have been only part
of it, said the garrison. An honorar-
ium in solid cash, it was believed, was
far the greater portion of the consider
alton which the elder sister accepted
for having successfully borne Mia
away from the dangers and fascina-
tons of the Point-having guarded
her, dropping and languid, against the
advance oof good looking soldier lads
at headquarters, and finally having, by
dint OF hours of argument, persuasion
and skill, delivered her into the arms
of the elderly but well preserved groom.
All he demanded to know was that
she was fancy free-that there was no
previous attachment, and on this point
Mrs. Frank had solemnly averred there
was none. The child had had foolish
fancy for a cadet beau. but it amount
ed to absolutely nothing. There had
been no vows, no pledge, no promise
of any kind, and she was actually free
as air. So Frost was satisfied.
They made an odd looking pair.
Frost was bony built but sturdy, and
Nita seemed like q fairy, indeed as I'M

were so far to the south on this homes
moon trip as almost to feel the shock
and conclusion when the Maine was
blown to a mass of wreckage. They
were in Washington when the congress
demanded full satisfaction of Spain,
and Col. Frost was told his leave was
cut short-that he must return to his
station at once. Going first to the Ar
ington and hurriedly entering the
room, he almost stumbled over the
body of his wife, lying close to the
door in swOon from which it took
some time and the efforts of the house

wept Historically and wrung her hands,.
She didn't know. She had gone to the
door to answer knock, and got dizzy
and remembered nothing more. What
became of the knocker? She didn't

for himself and wife to Hong-Kong on

BEAR MOVES TOWARD INDIA.
Ever since the breaking out of the
Transvaal war there have been indi-
cations that Russia was preparing to
move on Herat. and a ST. Petersburg
cablegram announces the first step in
that direction Nov. 20 Ivan Ivano-
Witch cabled the Chicago Record, via
Paris. Nov. %. as follows: The ear
returned to CzarskOie Selo palace from
Skiercwicz last week and Immediately
summoned an extraordinary council of
his ministers under his own presi-
dency This council was held Satur-
day. and by far the most significant
and startling matter that came before
it was the report of the minister of
war. Gen Kouropatkine. on the demon
stratiye movement on the Indian
frontiers. This report is said TO have
been a very elaborate one, giving not
only full account OF the general sit
uatiOn, but also a statement in minut-
est detail I have it on the best posi-
bic authority that the report concluded
with the following categorical state
mert: The troops of your majesty are
not only ready to make a threatening
diversion. but can seriously injure the
English interests and power. Revolts
NAV break out among the natives and
in the countries lying south OF Herat.
Again on Nov 2S he wrote: In the

Zon is blackly overcast. 1t cannot be
doubted that the statesmen of st. Pet
ersburg not only fOresee war, but
actually desire it; for in the fatal re-
suits of the stupid campaign in South
Africa, in the rabid luminosity of
France toward England. in the dispo-
sition of the negus of Abyssinia to
carve out for himself a section of the
Egyptian Sudan. and in the desire of
the ameer of Afghanistan to effect a
defensive alliance with Russia, it is
impossible not to see a grand Oppor-
