NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The 1877
Cuban teachers who have been spending
the past two months at the Harvard
summer school were taken to West
Point, N. Y, yesterday, where they were
received with honors that have been
extended but once before In the history
Of the United States Military academy.
The Cubans, 700 of whom are women,
got their first real glimpse of New York
yesterday morning. They showed un.
disguised delight. As Professor Frye,
superintendent of education for the is.
land Of Cuba, who is in charge Of the
party, expressed it:
'Hear their 'vivas.' That tells the
story"
The trip up the Hudson and the short
stay at West Point were crowded with
incidents. All along the river front Of
New York crowds on passing ferries.
excursion steamers and on shore cheered
and waved their handkerchiefs wildly at
the Cubans, who answered with the
fervor Of boatload Of children.
As the Iron Steamboat company's boat
Taurus. which carried the Cuban teach
ers up the Hudson, passed the great
stone quarry at Tompkin's Cove the Gu
bans were greeted with a dynamite sa-
lutte. Four heavy blasts, which sent
great sesments Of stone high into the
air, to fall back Into the water like shells
from = battlsship, were accompanied by
the shouting Of POO workmen who were
gathered at the entrance to the shaft.
At West Point carriages were waiting
for the women Of the party. Many pre-
ferred to walk up the hill with the men.
Boys handed out programmes printed In
Spanish, which also contained list Of
the buildings of the college and some
facts about the institution, together with
an invitation to the teachers to make
themselves at home.
Colonel Mills ordered for the Cuban
visitors q special dress parade. 1t Is
the only occasion in the history of the
Military academy, save once before.
United States army, Major General Mel
son A. Miles, visited the academy, that
the hour of dress parade has been chang
ed from o'clock in the afternoon.
The cadets are now In camp, and their
Cuban visitors formed about the green
sward. making altogether a brilliant pic
ture, full of color and action.
The teachers were shown through the
new Cullom memorial hall. Professor
Frye thanked Colonel Mills for them.
They then returned to the steamboat,
and the trip to the city began.
Today the teachers are taking in New
York. Beginning at 8 o'clock this morn
ing they visited Grants tomb, Columbia
university, the One Hundred and Ninth
street school and Central park. At the
mall, Central park Acting Mayor Gug-
genheimsr delivered an address Of well
come, after which a banquet was served
on the lawn. Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife
Of the governor general Of Cuba, was a
guest, as we'll as other distinguished
persons.

claimed, solves the insulation problem in

by passing through it or near it air kept
at low temperature, producing a coat
of Ice ON the wire which, the inventor
finds by repeated and extensive expert
ments, cannot be broken through by the
strongest currents and at the same time
gives an insulation that costs practically
