MUSIC OF VARIOUS KINDS.

LOOKING FOR A NEW INsURREc-
TION.

It is significant that the republican
States must be suzerain to the island
of Cuba.
The New York Tribune declares that
the United States acquired suzerain
rights because Mr.. Mckinley in a mes
sage to congress asked that body to an
thorfze him to proceed "to secure in
the island the establishment of a stable
government, capable of maintaining
order and observing its international
obligations"
The Tribune is pleased to overlook
the fact that subsequently congress
declared chat the people of Cuba are
n OF right ought to be free and indie
pendent" and in behalf of the United
States congress disclaimed "any dis
position or intention to exercise SOW
ereignty, jurisdiction or control over
said island except for the p%acification
thereof"
Cuba's right to freedom and indepen-
dence Is not affected by anything the
United States said. Our declaration
that the Cuban people Of right ought to
be free and Independent was simply a,
recognition Of a right possessed by
those people against Spain, and a right
that would continue to exist even
against the United States.
But when we have expressly recog-
niZed the rights of the Cubans to free
dom and followed that recognition by
q promise that we would not seek Ito
exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control yer said island except for the
pacifcation thereof" we are estopped
from making any pretense to suzerain
rights or any other authority in that
island.
The Washington correspondent Of
the New York World attributes to the
administration a deliberate purpose to
prevent the Cuban republic from hav-
ing that complete independence that
must belong to a successful republic.
One paper APPLY describes the situation
when 1t intimates that the administra-
ton is looking for a new insurrec-
ton"
The Chicago Times-Herald refuses
to indorse the practice of deportation.
It says:
Deportation Is a proceeding which
Americans condemn unreservedly in
other governments than their own, and
we imagine that there are very few
people in this country who can take
the slightest satisfaction in the ban
ishment of Filipino prisoners to the
island of Guam" (.
Deportation is one OF the corallaries
of imperialism. So long as we insist
upon q policy of imperialism we must
not be sensitive when we find it neces-
sary to adopt all the un-American hab-
It's essential to maintaining that IN
American policy.

his neighbors had talked as if it were
a matter of course that he had cast
that one ballot himself. This ANNOYED
him so much that he finally offered q
suit Of clothes, to be worth not less
than $50, to the lone voter if he would
declare himself. A Dutchman re-

 Three leagues from Canada An cha l stopped at the Hacienda de la Conception, the owners being Joa- quin Villaescusa & Sons. The father to whom I presented a letter of introduction, received me most cordially, and my visit of an hour was very pleasant. Like so many Haciendas in Mexico. this is quite town, with a church, blacksmith shop, etc. Seiior Villaescusa had the church opened for me to view the interior. The structure is doubt less quite old. l endeavored to get snap shot but the shutter of my camera wouldn't work a condition l was unfortunately unable to remedy until evening.
 About mile farther was the Ha- cienda Victoria owned by Busta- mante Brothers 10 whom had also letters of introduction. They were up the river somewhere, and missed them.
 Another mile and Hacienda de Capilla was reached. The owner is Don Emiliano Eustamante, uncle to the others mentioned. Again I found quite town, with a small steam flour mill in operation, MT. Bustaman:e was very cordial.
 Suaqni de Baviacori was the next place-about mile farther-a small town upon an eminence ever- looking the valley. Doctor Blaine, an American who has resided in this valley thirty years, lived at Suaqui. called on the gentleman, but he was at Aconchi. where I mer him the following day.
 Baviacora, about league farther was my next stop. It is a goodly sized town, with a large church and several business houses, MT. Louis Gautin formerly residing in Ures and latterly at La Colorado, is the principal merchant. A son of Doctor Blame is also in business there.
 Nearly the first person I met at Baviacora was MT. J. M. Soto, of Nogales, who had been there more than a month attending some legal business in settlement of an estate left to his children by their maternal grandfather. They have inherited | a very fine ranche on the river, near the town.
 From Baviacoraa road leads east ward across the Cerro Colorado to the seat of government of the district of the same name, and mail goes across three times a week.
 Near Baviacora cople of leagues eastward, is the Cerro Colorado mine, owned by MT. w. s. Cranz, It is very good gold property, and has ten stamp mill MT. Cranz is now in San Francisco on business.

rising to height of seven or eight
 feet, crowned with rolling cloud
 of black smoke which lowered aloft
 far above the big cottonwoods at
 the sides aud ends of the fields.
 Upon all these lands two crops are
 raised every season First the ground
 is all seeded to wheat, one field
 after another being planted as fast
 as the work can be done. Then
 when ripened the grain is harvested
 the land cleaned, plowed and
 another crop is planted-corn. sugar
 cane, beans, tobacco, chili, potatoes
 etc. As soon as planted the field IS
 irrigated, and within a short time
 the new crop is growing. As the
 earlier fields seeded to grain are
 harvested, cleaned, planted and the new crop up before the later ones are harvested, there is presented at this season all tue succession of agricultural operations-planting, growth. ripening and harvesting. One field is passed in which the ripened grain is bending its myriad brown heads, awaiting the reapers who are perhaps, already at work.
 In another horses are trampling out the grain on threshing floor, or the chaff is being winnowed by throwing it into the air. The next field has been cleaned, and is now being plowed and planted, while in others long lines of young tobacco or chili plants, sugar cane or corn are already growing thriftily, and entire face of the field has assumed a vivid green; and in an adjoining field the grain crop has been re- moved and the white stubble awaits the fire. Ii is this diversity which at this season gives panoramic view of the valley so brilliant an Divided into great by long lines of green cot tonwoods. those squares subdivided and each subdivision white or black brown or green, according to the stage of the cultivation, crop or harvest, the face of nature surely presents a magnificent sight.
 Emerging from the Puerto del Sol the road had passed up the valley with the mountains of that name to the westward; and upon the east the Cerro Colorado a not very lofty range, delimits the valley for a long distance. Upon the west the mountain barrier of the Puerto del Sol falls to low ridge, and rises again to the lofty summit of Aconchi peak, said to be the second highest in the state of Son. ora La Cananea being the first. I couldn't learn its altitude, but I guess it to be between 5000 and | 9,ooo feet
