Next Monday morning. September goth,
we will place in our window nice clock, which
we will give to the person who comes nearest
to guessing the number of hours it will run
with one winding.
Each person is entitled to one guess. Should
anyone put in two guesses, and one of them be
the winner, the clock will go to the next near
est. Should two more persons guess the
same time and this guess should be the winner,
then they will decide by lot which shall have it.
All who wish may have guess, nor do
you have to buy anything pay anything to
make guess. All are privileged and welcome
to try, only each guess must be made in person;
you cannot guess for someone else, nor can any
one else guess for you.
The clock will be fully wound up by some
disinterested person, record will be made of
the hour and minutes it is wound and the hour
it stops. You guess how many days, hours and
minutes it will run with the one winding.

Governor General Wood Explains Condi-

General Leonard a. Wood, governor
general Of Cuba. with Mrs. Wood aud
his private secretary, arrived In Wash
ington Tuesday night General Wood,
who expects 10 return to Havana on
Thursday by way OF jacksonville, Fla,
has made the hurried trip 20 this eoun-
try for the purpose Of introducing TO
President Mckinley, before the latter
leaves Washington for the Pacific
coast. the i've members Of the special
commission on foreign relations, APP
pointed by the Cuban constitutional
convention.
"The members Of the commission
said General Wood, represent all the
different groups Of Cubnns composing
the constitutional convention. They
have come to the United States for the
purpose Of comforting with President
Mckinley on matters which the con-
vention does not thoroughly under
stand, and when they return to make
their report am convinced that there
will be- thorough understanding on
all sides Of the controversy.
"The constitutional convention has
never voted on or rejected the Platt
amendment. This eau state positively
Notwithstanding tho reports 10 the
contrary which have been sent 20 tho
United states from Havana. Things
have been oabled here which had not
the slightest foundation In fact, de-
scribed strained relations between the
Representatives Of the United States
aud those OF the Cuban people
Everything has been harmonious
since went TO Cuba, andthe conven-
ton now In session as thoroughly
representative one. Before the Plat
amendment was passed by congress
the Cubans knew the desires Of this
government ON the issues which tho
amendment contains because they were
submitted 10 them through the execu-
tive. Intervention and the establish
ment OF a naval station are two things
which they do not properly compre'
bend, aud think that whom they arc
fully explained In washinton the only
indication OF a difference OF opinion
will have been removed.
"Therc are really but two great
questions TO be settled. One Ia the re-
duction OF the duty on sugar, and the
other is the passage of the constitution.
One Ia economic, the other political,
yet In measure they are akin. After
the constitution has properly been
framed aud adopted, the economic
question will disappear, a. there must
/ be great reduction In the duty on
sugar. Then Cuba will be prosperous,
and It's relations with the United states
'--,.l-s sa. a solid bAniA. That Will end
the whole difficulty, and In twenty
four hours the country eau be turned
over TO tho representatives, chosen by
the Cuban people.
To-day all the departments Of tn,
island are practically In the hands oI
the Cubans, who have been instructed
a. To how things can be managed, ant
when the time arrives all we will hav,
