Cuba, Its People, Resources and
Prospects,

One of the notable current articles
is a Talk with Gen. Wood" in The
Outlook, written by Edward Marshall,
the war correspondent who was so
grievously wounded at the battle Of
Las Guasimas. Gen Wood pictures
everything in relation to Cuba with
glowing colors, his enthusiasm remind
ing one of the statements made by
Senator Proctor regarding Cuba, its
people, its resources, and its prospects.
Gen. Wood says he feels no more con-
cern about the future of the island
than about the future of his native
state; its resources are so vast and
splendid that prosperity is sure to
come. 1t is wrong, he says, to credit
the American with all of the great
work that has been accomplished in
Cuba since 1898. The Americans have
Cubans have also done their share in
the advancement of their country.
Gen. Wood takes up the Cuban prov
inces one by one and asks what state
in our own land shows greater variety
of resources, or a greater wealth of
possibilities. Santiago province with
magnificent mineral resources in iron
and copper, and immense undeveloped
areas of finest sugar land Puerto Prin-
cipe, with grazing lands and great as
phalt deposits; Santa Clara, with to-
bacco, coffee and sugar lands; Ma
tanzas and Havana, with sugar, and
the latter with Pinar del Rio having
the finest tobacco lands. All these
provinces with the exception of Ha-
vana are still largely undeveloped.
Gen. Wood believes Cuba is the most
promising land for energetic young
Americans, and asks where else in so
comparatively small an area, within
such easy access of the markets of the
world can any such range of undevel-
oped wealth be found?" He says the
Cubans are not hostile to the Ameri-
cans, although there are sore-heads
among them. He says that with every
day his admiration for Cuba and the
Cubans is increased. The Cubans
have their faults, but they have no
more than the average run of plain hu-
manity, and it must be remembered
that they have labored under many dis
advantages. THE Spaniards on the
island are as fine a class as l ever
knew" he says. "They are honest, in
dustrious, and as faithful in their devo-
tion to the island as if no war with
Spain had ever happened" The ele-
ment of weakness is the drifting popu-
lation of the towns. This element is
direct and natural outcome of the
there is no more need for the traveller
in Cuba to fear violence than there is
for man to expect assassination on
the most quiet and peaceful street of
the calmest village of the United
States. He would not hesitate to put
his wife and baby in a volante with
only the driver, and he unarmed, to
protect them, and send them over any
road in Cuba.
He says Cuba is capable of support
ing eight to ten times it's present popu-
lation, and he compares it with Java,
an island that has less productive land,
with a population of 2S,0O0,OO0. Gen.
Wood looks for improvement in the
system of taxation in Cuba, and hopes
Congress will lower the duties on Gu
ban sugar and tobacco. He says Cuba
offers to the United States a magnifi-
cent market for almost all manufac-
tured goods and for sugar machinery.

One class places the blame for this
state of affairs on the extravaganza and

PROBABLE murder case. States Attorney
j. b. Donoway is investigating a charge
OF infanticide at East Granville. The
woman who is charged with being the
participant in the affair is one Mary Du-
mas, an unmarried person, aged about
2S. The child born was a male and fully
developed.
The examination of the child's remains
disclosed that it was born alive and that
the abrasions of the head and fracture
of the skull must have occurred after a.
living BIRTH 1t is claimed that the child
was born at about 2 O'Clock in the morn
ing and that no one was told of il until
about 8 O'Clock the same morning When
the mother of the suffering woman found
her groaning and inquired what the mat
ter was she was informed that the child
was born. but was dead.
DIR. Huntington of Rochester performed
an autopsy, discovering that the head
showed exterior bruises and under the
skull clotted blood. The lungs were also
extracted and examined and showed that
they were not those of an undelivered
foetus but those of a child once alive
From the developments States Attor-

The Constitution has won three more
victories over the Columbia, making
five in all. In the race Monday the
new boat led by minutes and 18
seconds elapsed time over a 21-mile
course. Tuesday the performance was
repeated, when the lead on elapsed
time was s minutes and 16 seconds.
Both races were sailed in light winds.
The Constitution has proved to a GER
tainty that in light airs she is superior
to any other yacht, but the Columbia
has won twice in a stiff breeze, and
many yachtsmen think that the old cup
defender is the better boat in the
liveliest style of racing.
