Boston, October 26.-Ernest Morang,

months imprisonment at hard labor in
the Cambridge jail MoraDg prior to

The Work Performed in Cuba.

Not many people realize the work
that the Americans have performed
in Cuba. They found the island pros
trate after years of war. It was, in
part, race war, and had been attend
ed by unusual ferocities. A deliberate
attempt had been made by the Span
lard in command to starve to death
something like one million of people.
He had half succeeded, and quite four
hundred thousand wretches needed
food. OF these perhaps onefourth
were past cure and had to be buried.
The fields had been devastated; the
people were both idle and embittered-
chaos ruled. Order had to be estab-
lished and maintained; the people had
to be fed; the cities that were pest
holes had to be cleaned, and the rebel
lious element in the island had to be
restrained. For the six months end
ing June 80, 1899, there had been ex-
pended for sanitation $1,712,O14; for
charities and hospitals 1928, S81.27; for
the aid of the destitute, $88, 944.O3.
Over 5 ,493, 900 rations had been issued
to the destitute people.
The island was divided into four
provinces, and in Havana a house to
house canvass was made TO search out
the cases of restitution, and outside
the city wagon-train service was
created for the same purpose.
The most difficult duty was to find
employment for the idle and the
needy. The utmost exertion was
made to accomplish this. We can
recall no similar record on the part of
any conquering power. The poor
were fed; the cities made as healthy
as the cities of our Southern coast !;
the children were sent to school; the
sick were given modern treatment in
modern hospitals; SO far as possible,
the former industries of the island
were revived and order was maintain
ed. 1t is great record, and reflects

AlaSka'S Gold Product.

During the year 1899 just ended the
government assay Office in Seattle
bought and paid for $12,823, 1884. So
worth of virgin gold. Government
checks were issued in that amount in
payment for yellow treasure. These
figures are taken from the official rec
ords and are exact and reliable. They
disclose an average receipt of more
than million dollars worth of gold
per month. To be exact, the average
monthly receipts were 81 068636.21.
The Seattle assay Office was opened
for business July Is, 1898. For the
fractional year 1898 the receipts we're
$5,55O,O31.53 in gold, making the
grand total of gold purchased by the
Office since its establishment, less than
eighteen months ago, $1S.373, 666.11.
The heaviest receipts in each year
were in the months OF July, August,
September and October. August was
the banner month in 1898, the pur-
chases for that period being 81 $685.
1929. September came close second
with 81, $50, $3.50, while October did
not run far behind with 81, 254, 647. 81.

About 80 per cent. OF all gold pur-

Bicyclist from Dawson.

Klondike advices as late as Decem-
Der II were received by the steamer
Cottage City, which arrived in Seattle
Sunday night from Lynn canal ports
with fifty passengers. w. F. Matlock,
George Burke and r. P. McLennan
are the latest Klondike arrivals.
Burke made the trip from Dawson to
Skagway In fifteen days, while Nc
Lehman covered the same distance In
fourteen days, riding more than half
the way on bicycle. He says, how
ever, that after the lakes are frozen
solid and the snow on the trails is
packed little harder good wheel
man can ride from Dawson to Bennett
in six days.
"The first 100 miles out from Daw-
son." said McLennan, "was good
travelling. Then on either side OF Sci
kirk for twenty miles the road was
very rough. This side OF that the
road was very good, save for ten miles
on the Dominion cutoff. The Cana
dian Development Company is cutting
down with axes and mattocks the ten
miles of rough road along the river
this side Selkirk, and Dumbolton is
cutting down on the other side, thus
making the stretch on both sides suit
able for double teams. Shedding is
good from Caribou through to Dawson
and the road in all places, except those
mentioned as rough, is as a rule pack
ed nard and smooth as pavement.
