CAPITAL LACKING.
Gen. Nunez Tells of the Great Need of
Cuba.


Gen. Emilio Nunez. civil governor of the
province of Havana, is in Philadelphia on a
months leave of absence. Gen. Nunez's
home for eighteen years before he was
made governor of Havana was in Philadel-
phia.
In speaking of Cuba and its people he
said:
THE condition Of the country financially,
industrially, politically and in every way
is showing marked improvement. The to-
bacco crop this year will be big ever
it was before the war. aggregating 100000
bales, valued at S24o00,oo0. On account
of the extreme dry season, the sugar crop
will be small but the planters hope TO do
better next year.
THE great trouble in every branch of
Industry and trade in Cuba is the scarcity
OF working capital. Planters whose estates
were damaged during the war have not the
means to repair these losses, and this is
true in every line of business. There are
excellent opportunities for American capi-
talists. Havana has already shoe fac
tory and a brewery operated by Americans,
and every branch of manufacture awaits
development. Tobacco and sugar planta-
tons also require ready cash to be worked
to advantage"
When asked If Americans were embracing
these opportunities, Gen. Nunez replied:
Slowly. The trouble is il seems to be
the opinion among Americans that condi-
uons in Cuba are unsettled and will re-
main so until the form of government be-
comes decided upon. Such is not the case.u
Referring TO the visit of Secretary of
War Root to Cuba, the general said il had
an excellent effect in helping to restore a
feeling of confidence in the United States
and her promises. which the people there
believe Will be kept in every respect.

Miss Harriet CIOgg Confesses to Capt.
McCIusky.

Miss Harriet ClOEE COnfesses to Capt.
McCIusky.
Captain McClusky of the New York de-
tective bureau said yesterday that Miss
Harriet T. Clogg, otherwise Mrs. William
A. Busnau, formerly of Baltimore, who
was arrested Tuesday night after returning
from Europe, had confessed to him that she
had been engaged in swindling by means of
checks She was locked up that night with
her two months old baby, which she took
with her to police headquarters yesterday.
The specific charge against Miss Clogg
is that on December 10 Of last year she
represented that she had an account in
the Astor National Bank Of this city. She
thus obtained $500 from the Bank of Com
merce of Baltimore, where she lived.
The detective says she also told him she
got diamond pin, valued at $500, from
Frederick A. Greubel of Baltimore, giving
check on the Astor National Bank for
$685. She then owed the jeweler 500 for
other trinkets. Captain McClusky says
she also confessed having secured a seal
skin muff and jacket from Albert Sigmund
of Baltimore, paying for it with a $500 check
on the Astor National Bank.
The woman admits she is not the wife OF
DR.. VIM. A. Busnau. According to her
story DIR. Busnau went to Baltimore about
four years ago with a hockey team from
Canada, and she married him. Afterward
they took trip to London. She said she
afterward found out that DR.. Busnau had
wife in Canada from whom he had not
been divorced.

The Admiral's Courtesy.
'The fleet needed practice, as Admiral
Fisher put 1t, although what with torpedo
work. boat drills. large and small gun pra ac-
tice and a few other things going on all the
time they seemed to have about as much
as was necessary for the proper consump-
ton of H. B. MS rations. Anyhow, the
admiral asked permission to send off his
boats and take us ashore. We have only
two steam launches of capacity of about
forty men each, and about ten other boats
that on such an occasion ought not to car
ry more than fifty men each. So the promo
sition was accepted. We had 1.290 men and
forty-seven officers to get ashore, and thew
landed the last man in twenty minutes
We had four large side ports opened-two
on each side the ship-one forward and one
on the Quarter-with gangways leading To
the water, and at o'clock (the time sefI
the boats being on hand the men were
marched out of their quarters directly into
the boats, which as soon as loaded pulled
out for shore mile away. All four gang
ways were running at the same time and
there was never a hitch nor a moment 8
lost time, and everybody was on shore and
in line at go. The boats they used were
working boats, sharp at both ends, no decks
and no seats, except at intervals of about
six feet a stay of wood passing from side
to side. They were about forty feet long
and ten feet wide and could hold easily
100 men each. A steam launch was lashed
alongside each of these boats, and the lat
ter was therefore entirely given up to the
men. It's great scheme and We should
adopt It, but we never will. About a hun
dred years from now we will be trotting
around with the same old scheme of land

Old Rivals Scheduled to Meet Next Sat

Old Rivals Scheduled to Meet Next Sat-
urday on Local Campus.
Those two rivals of old, Georgetown
and Virginia, will meet on the diamond
next Saturday afternoon. In the Begin
ming OF the present season, through the
inability of these colleges to agree on
terms satisfactory to both. 1t looked as
II there would be no game between
them this year. However, at the urgent
request of the Washington people. and
through the good offices of the alumni.
the difficulties have been smoothed
over. and the two teams will meet on
the above-named day. Georgetown and
Virginia have struggled year after year
for the supremacy in athletics. This
year. on the gridiron, though game
was played, the colleges were so evenly
matched neither could succeed in
scoring.
The game on Saturday will therefore
permanently decide who is to be the
victor for another year. Manager

rangements to accommodate the large
crowds that always asG2mblc when the
