VALID CUBAN BONDS.

What is the amount of bonds for which
Cuba is liable? The bonds referred to
are those issued by the Cuban Junta for
the benefit of the Cuban army in the in
surrection against Spain.
There appears to be a great deal OF
doubt as to the amount of these bonds
outstanding. A Havana paper, according
to a Havana dispatch in the New York
Sun, says that all of the valid bonds are
signed by Tomas Estrada Palma He was
the head of the Cuban Junta in New
York during the progress of the war and
it seems made about all of the disburse-
ments.
Mr. William o. Mcdowell president of
the Cuban-American League, is quoted
as saying that the contributions in New
York to the Cuban cause and the sale
of'bonds amounted to about Sc 10000, and
that If only 81, 100000 had been spent by
Palma there ought to be on hand at least
s., 100000.
In reply to this Mr.. Palma is quoted as
saying that che fund received from the
sale of bonds was not more than S3e, 0O0
and that the receipts from contributions
made the entire fund about 81, $4,000. All
of this had been spent, except small
amount which was being used to send
impoverished Cubans back to Cuba. No
statement has been made of the amount
of bonds that were placed, but not sold.
1t may be that none were so placed but
1t would not be surprising il there were.
1t is reasonable to suppose that supplies
and even services were paid for with
bonds at a higher price than that for
which the bonds could be sold for cash.
If it turns out that the amount of the
bonds outstanding is small Cuba will be
fortunate. She will begin her life as
nation without being encountered with
great debt.
There has been some apprehension that
NOT only would the first Cuban
Congress load the island with debt
but that it would be found that
there was outstanding very large
amount of bonds which Cuba would
feel in honor bound to pay. The
friends of Cuba will have cause for re-
joicing if these apprehensions prove to
be unfounded.

THEY ARE SENT OUT OF THE
COUNTRY.

In a letter to the Washington Post pub
lished last Thursday. Mr.. George c. Cor
ham. a politician who at one time was a
power in the Republican party, said that
the negro held the balance of power in
several of the Northern states, and al
ways cast his vote for the Republican
party, thus enabling that party 40 be
successful but that the Republican party
in those states never made any adequate
acknowledgment of this assistance. In
reply ]. w. Lyons. in a letter published
in the Post the following day. named Sow
eral negroes. residents of the Northern
states in question. who held places I'M
der the government.
One is the minister to Hayti and the
others. eleven in ALL are either consuls,
consular agents or chaplains. In no one
OF the Northern states referred to is there
a negro postmaster. negro collector of in
ternal revenue or negro custom house ON
Ger. In fact, all the negroes in Northern
states. in which the negro vote is OF the
utmost importance to the Republican
party. who have been given Office have
been sent out of the country. why Is
this? Is it because the white Republi-
cans would not submit 90 having negro
ofice-holders in home Offices?
II would seem so. and YET these same
Republicans are forever criticising the
South for not welcoming negro postmas-
tiers. We are not calling attention to
thig nnartcr for the purnnea ~ ,rnattnc
il-feeling against negro ofice-holders, but
simply to emphasize the Inconsistency and
hypocrisy OF the Northern Republicans.
The Republicans could not carry Ohio
without the negro vote. but are there
any negro ofiice-holders in ohio2 II SO
Lyons does not mention che fact in his
letter reply to Gorham, and n Is quite
certain that he would have done so II
there were any sudh onhce-holders.

Sentiment Touches McKinIey.

A new autograph album was laid be-
fore the President for his signature, says
a Washington dispatch. On each leaf was
a flower with a little sentiment beneath
it,
The President did not follow his usual
custom of signing his name on the first
page as IT had doubtless been expected
he would do He turned over the leaves
of the album until he found, near the
middle of the book bunch of pansies,
Mrs. McKinley's favorite flower. Printed
on the page with the pansies was this
sentiment:
You cannot guess the power
OF little simple flower.
With a smile the President wrote, "Wil-
liam Mckinley" beneath this sentiment.
and sent the album back to its owner.

Marion Butler of North Carolina is the
Mark Tapley of current politics. He is
able to discern rainbow-hued promises in
the ruins of the Populist party He says
he is confident that one-half of the peo-
pie in the United States are devoted to
the principles of the Populists. notwith-
standing they have time and again gone
to the polls and voted against them.
When the Populist party has assembled
in national convention again, Mr.. But
Ter thinks it will adopt such platform,
embodying government ownership of
franchises, etc. that the people will tread
on each others heels to come forward and
endorse it. While Butler has this hope
full view of his own party. he sees moth
ing but woe ahead of the Democrats.
They are mossbacks, he says. and the
party win never amount to anything I'M
til a new generation grows up. Somehow
or other Butler always did suggest Arte-

Spain is in the market for the purchase
of new naval guns of large caliber. She
is said to be negotiating with an Eng
fish firm for a number of 7I4-inch pieces.
If Spain were to profit by her experience,
she would invite proposals for supplying
guns from this country, and get some
Americans to teach her sailors how to
use them. The fact is that she had very
fine and powerful guns in Admiral Ger
vera's fleet, which met its fate off San
tiago, but good guns without good men
behind them are worthless

A HARVEST FoR HORSE DocroRs.


1t it stated that there are as
many as $4,000 horses in New
York suffering from new and
peculiar disease, which is similar to
the epizooty. 1t is only about ten days
since it was noticed, and in that time
1t has spread with remarkable rapidity.
The death rate thus far has been only
about 8 per cent, but some of the best
of the veterinary surgeons think it would
reach 20 per cent If unfavorable weather
conditions should prevail The horses af-
flicted do not seem to suffer a great deal.
Their temperature runs up quickly, soma-
times as high as 105 degrees, but it does
not remain that high long. The disease
seems to yield easily to treatment, and
there would not be much alarm felt if
there was not great danger of the dis
ease running into other diseases, such as
pneumonia and chronic aryngtis
curious thing about the disease is
that 1T attacks dogsoand cats as readily
as it does horses, although it seems that
the health authorities are not giving much
attention to the afflicted animals of lesser
Importance. The veterinary surgeons are
of the opinion that as the epidemic in
creases. human beings will be attacked
1t is doubtful IL much weight is attached
to their opinion. Still, it seems to be a
well-founded opinion
Inc horses thus lar attacked are those
which have heavy work to do-the horses
of ice and express companies and those
used in the delivery service. However,
no class of horses is spared. The
wealthy mans as well as the poor man s
succumb TO the disease.
AS to the diseases origin. there appears
to be a considerable difference of opin-
ion. Many think that the upturning CT
the earth for the subway railroad to-
gether with the warm murky weather
which has prevailed for large part of
this month. is largely responsible for the
trouble. Whatever it is there is no doubt
that it is causing a great deal of I'M
easiness, not only among horsemen. but
among citizens who are always on the
lookout for anything likely to affect in
juriously the general health of the public
