Conditions in Cuba.

Even more strangely than heretofore
the news from Cuba is suggestive Of
the difficulties by y hich the new gov
eminent Will be beset, and the friction
that is likely to occur between the diff
ferent classes Of the people It seems
morally certain that if left entirely to
her own devices. Cuba would simply
follow in the footsteps OF the typical
Latin-American republic, With per
haps an intensifcation os the coEdi-
tons which made the States to the
south Of Us scenes Of almost continual
revolution and bIoodshed through all
the earlier period of their existence
Many of the Cubans are confessedly
very superior people, but the popula
ton as a whole is a motley one. con
sisting Of the native whites. the foreign
whites, the mixed race, and the blacks
Upon the whole, IL Is not a particularly
objectionable population but it is one
which, left with a free hand, is likely
to have abundance of trouble within
itself. In short. it IS a population that
needs curling.
The race question Is already begin
ming to appear. Naturally enough. tco.
for under universal male suffrage
about one-fourth Of the voters would
be ccIored- BESIDES this, there are
more than hundred thousand male
foreigners of voting age in the island
These include some ninety thousand
Spaniards. between whom and the "a
tive Cubans there is much bitterness Of
feeling. Firmly united the white Gu
bans could probably outvo,e III others
combined. but no one can tel Just how
the voters would align themselves.
Therefore, even IN the preliminary
work OF drafting constitution all sorts
OF projects are being considered with
reference 10 limiting or charging the
suffrage along certain lines, with a view
of making sure the predominance Of
the native white Cuban element. There
may be some good reason for such
preference. Perhaps the conditions re
Guire something Of the kind, but il viii
certainly create much il-feeIing, and it
may easily lead to internal disorders Of
a serious character. The negroes were
generally active in the war against
Spain, and they cannot fail to resent
any IESiIkCllbu OIL lIGlE DIS GU
zens- The Spaniards are wealthy, in
teHigent class, and naturally antago-
nistic to both of the other classes. They
are numerous enough TO make serious
trouble if so inclined, and it is not i'm
probable that the other foreigners
would, in general. side with the
Spaniards. All Of these classes as well
as d goodIy percentage Of the natives
are inclined to favor annexation to the
United States rather than an indepen-
dent government
The situation, therefore,, is one which
naturally makes for trouble This will
be minimized by the strong hold which
the American Government has retained
upon Cuban affairs. but it is easy 10
imagine what the condition would have
been if the Cubans had been left en-
tirely TO themselves As It IS, there
may soon be friction enough in Cuba to
create a powerful sentiment there fav-
orabIe to annexation, and there is
scarcely room for doubt that complete
union with the United States Will be
the final solution Of the problem.

A PRETTY SIGHT

A very pretty sight can be seen in
the window of ex-Alderman John ".
Rattlesdorfer's store. corner OF Greene
and Chestnut streets, where some forty
Plymouth Rock chickens are on exbi-
bition. The window was arranged for
the display by c. w. Potter, Mr.. Rat
tlesdorfer's assistant, and does him
great credit as window dresser. The
scene, which is very unique, represents
a farm yard with mows of hay and a
chicken yard also. A ladder leads up
to the hay-mow, with a young lad
perched on it hunting for eggs, while
there are also hens on their nests in
the NOW, all naturally arranged. 1t Is
quite a pleasing picture. The Plymouth
Rock chickens are about four weeks
old and were Matched in an incubator
which is the property of Albert Storer,
of 50 Bright street, Fair Haven. Mr..
Storer Is breeder Of high grade fowls
and the chickens on exhibition are of
the genuine Barred Plymouth Rock"
stock. An artificial brooder keeps the
chicks warm, and they seem to be
quite contented, although without a
mother.

to Springside Home

Other Fire Protection May be Afforded
to Springside Home.
1t has been proposed to put cheni-
cal engine in Springside home to be
used there in case of fire. A represen-
tative of the Babcock Fire Extinguish-
er company was in this city yesterday
in consultation with Superintendent
Spier of the board of charities and cor
rection and Chief Fancher of the fire
department, and 1t is likely that the
apparatus will be provided If the mat
ter of money can be satisfactorily ar
ranged.
There are now at Springside home
fifty extinguishers which are carried on
the back. 1t is believed that over half
of them are nearly exhausted and are
not capable of good service.
The home also has the hose ar
rangement for putting out fires, but if
used on q small blaze the damage by
water would be greater than the dam
age by fire itsalf.
A little chemical engine would cost
only $3.50 and Chief Fancher thought it
would be a good investment.
The subject will be considered and
perhaps a small chemical will be pur-
chased.
There is no specific appropriation for
an engine, but the money might be
found in the regular appropriation for
Springside home.

RUSSIAN ACTION AT rouLoN.


No Affront Meant by Withdrawal Of Squad
ron.
Paris, April Am official Of the foreign
office informed a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press to-day that the stir created
over the departure Of the Russian warships
from Toulon is quite artificial. It was
never Intended that the whole Russian
squadron should remain there during the
Franco-Ttalian festivities. as 1t was recog.
nized that the presence Of third party
would tend to check the expansion Of feel.
ing, while at the same time it might in.
vest the events at Toulon in the minds OF
others with a triple political character
ertheless, wishes that the Russian navy
should greet President Loubet at Toulon,
and 1t will be represented by at least two
warshlps, which VIII stay there during the
festivities, In which their officers will par
ticipate.
A Russian in this city who was inter
viewed on the subject spoke in the same
GERS and warships been in too great MN
bers they might have diverted to them
selves part of the demonstrative friendii-
ness which the Italians came to seek in
France. He also said that there had been
a lack of discretion on the part of the Rus
sian consul at Touion, and declared that
the Russian squadron had never intended to
tnke part in the ceremonies. He admits
that the departure of the Russian warships
was FASTENED in order to cut short the re-
ports in certain Paris papers, which had
been attributing undue significance to the
arrival of the Russian squadron at the pres
ent juncture.

UNITED STATES RUBBER COMPANY
PASSES DIVIDEND

|
| New York, April 4.-One Of the ode
trusts to-day decided to pass dividends en-
| tirely on its shares. The United States
| Rubber company, organized in 1892, to con
| troll the manufacture of rubber boots
shoes, and other products, paid 8 per cent
on Its 1923, 100000 preferred stock in eacl
| of the three years 1898, 1892 and 1900, an(
in the calendar years 1899 and 1900 paid
per cent. annually on the common. Begin
mig with last July, dividends on the com
airy, the quarterly preferred dividend was
reduced from 2 to / per cent. and this
morning this dividend, too, was passed.
The directors issued to-day the following
statement In explanations:
The directors OF the United States Rub
Der company deem 1t inexpedient to make
any dividend on the preferred stock at this
time.
One mild winter following another has
had the effect of curtailing the consumption
of rubber boots and shoes, and being deter
mined to retain its trade, the directors of
the company deem 1t advisable to reduce
prices, and sersfal~reductions have so far
AS rebates to jobbers are given when
prices are reduced, Notwithstanding the
fact that the rebates were found to be less
than anticiNnted, the earnings of the. com
pany do not warrant the payment Of fur
ther dividends for the present.
The directors regard the present policy Of
low prices as wise provision for. the fu-
ture Of the company, and so far this policy
has resulted in there being placed with
the company unusually large orders for
goods, thus enabling them to give steady
employment to the large number of EN-
ployes dependent upon the Industry.
The Rubber company's balance over
working expenses in the fiscal year ending
with March, 1900, was S3,007,sS7 of which
all but $179,209 was paid out in dividends
The earnings then showed decrease Of $2lS,-
900 from 1890. In spite of which dividends
were increa sed S040 900.
