pearing feature, because his readers were

continued story. ~
The newest phase Of Havana Journalism
Is that Of the caricature 1t has not vet
reached the stage where it can be called a
cartoon. but the Spanish reading public
mas taken immensely to the idea finder
the Spanish rule the caricature was NOT
possible, because the official censor would
be bound to see in it something that vas
meant to reflect on the government or
to compromise the dignity of some func-
tionary. Now that the censorship does not
exist most of the papers find the caricature
necessary to satisfy their readers Occa-
sionally one of them comes out late with
forms patched up and with an EXPLANATION
that an accident to the press or some other
occurrence over which the editor and pub
Usher had no control has made 1t neces
sary to omit the usual picture but 1t will
be forthcoming in the next number.
Caricatures Are Broad.
The caricatures in the Havana papers
are coarser than those which appear in
the American newspapers. They leave
nothing to the Imagination. but that is
characteristic also of the journals of Ma
drid and Barcelona. which employ the best
artists. A mere suggestion is not enough
to impress the Spanish or the Cuban mind
Usually. though the humor is broad, It is
not vulgar. The text which accompanies
the caricature Is generally in verse and Is
clever: In fact. the picture without the
Evening star., 1901-05-17

and ink and type is mystery as also the
sources from which the printers are paid.
But these things are done, and 1t Is a
weakling of new Havana paper which
does not exist from four to six months.
The charges for advertising are very
cheap, and the advertisements are only an
incidental means of revenue. This in
creases the mystery as to how some of the
journals manage to exist, for they all have
very imposing staffs of director generals
editors and so forth. l have observed that
none of the newspapers which were pub
lished during the time of Spain's sover-
eighty have ceased to exist, though the
constituencies for which several Of them
were published have disappeared. How
ever. the vitality is remarkable.
All of them are very thorough in their
discussion of leading questions, and they
preserve their literary standard. The ar
ticulo del fondo or leading editorial Is still
feature. and both the Cuban and the
Spanish readers seem to prefer it to the
more incisve and personal editorials which
some of the new papers have sought to
establish The literary or scientific article
is also feature. 1t speaks we'll for the
conservatism of the readers of the chief
Havana daily, which is the organ of the
Spanish classes. when they accept without
protest a three-column demonstration Of a
proposition in Euclid, which differs from
the demonstration usually given in the
books. and get along with a four-line
cablegram from New York, describing the
smash in Wall street. The Spanish and
Cuban papers also continue to publish the
feuilleton. or continued story, but one of
the editors told me that this was q disap-

verse would not be relished The familiar
ity taken with subjects sacred to most
Americans is almost bfasphemous, and
they resent it: but with the Spanish read
ing public there is apparently no idea of
irreverence. Sacred subjects in everyday
life are treated with the familiarity shown
in naming persons, strEetss and public
parks, and to the ordinary Spanish or Gu
ban reader there Is nothing offensive in
having the saints figure In their carica-
lures as profane charactefa e
1 have noticed one change in the Ha-
vana journal which unquestionably is sig
nfficant OF coming political change, and
the establishment of a Cuban government
in which the United States or its military
authority will be in the background in
stead of in the foreground. This Is the dis
appearance of the English page or the En-
giish column. At one time nearly every
paper In Havana published part Of its con-
tents In English Sometimes the news was
translated and more frequently the edito-
rial articles as we'll as the comment from
the various other newspapers. Now there
Is one journal which maintains an English
page, and probably will continue to do SO,
but the others have dropped the expert
ment Occasionally they launch an edito-
rial article In Euglish, when they want to
Impress American readers or want to make
sure that some official knows the mean
things they are saying of him. But even
this practice Is falling into dfsuse.
The public which reads the newspapers
Is largely a public which knows only the
Spanish language, and there Is no advan-
taee to most OF the papers in having an
Evening star., 1901-05-17

English page or an Euglish column. The
disuse of this practice Is a reminder that
after all there is something more than a
million and half people Of the Latin
race, or at least of the Latin language
and traditions, while there are only few
thousand Americans in Cuba. The number
Is not Increasing rapidly enough to en-
courage newspaper enterprises based spe-
cially on the supposed long-felt want of
American newspapers. Moreover, most Of
the Americans in Cuba receive their home
papers and are satisfied with such sources
Of information. An increasing number Of
them are learning Spanish and are thus
enabled to put themselves in touch with
their surroundings. This is important and
useful, especially in view Of the changes
coming In the form of government.
do not want to discourage any of the
large army Of metropolitan journalists and
country newspaper editors in the Unit ed
States who persist in thinking that Ha-
vana is virgin field and that there is a
lcng-felt want for the American newspa-
per; but as a means of saving postage 1t
may be well to state that within the last
two years there have been more American
newspapers started in Havana than Span
fsh or Cuban ones, and they have withered
and fallen by the wayside much more
quickly. One American, who had long ex-
perience in Cuba, and who is frequently
appealed to on this subject told me that
he had a simple method of answering let
ters Of inquiry. He merely drew a rough
sketch Of a graveyard and labeled various
tombstones with the inscription, '"The
Leading English Daily Of Havana" 1t was

Talk. of Gettysburg Campaign.

An informal talk ON the Gettysburg cam
paign was given by the Rev. DR.. r. H.
McKim of Epiphany Church last night at
Confederate Veterans Hall, No. 431 11th
street northwest. DR.. McKim is the chap
lain of the association and was introduced
to the audience. composed of ladies and
gentlemen, by President VIM. A. Gordon.
Mr.. Gordon cited several official reports in
the Rebellion Record naming DR.. McKim
for brave and meritorious services both at
Winchester, Va, June IA and 49, 1868, and
in the battle of Gettysburg, and reports by
Generals Ewell, Johnson and Geo. H. Stew
art, in which he was also mentioned.
DR.. McKim was an aid at that time
on General Stewards staff. He was par
ticularly mentioned In Ewell's report Of
the battle of Winchester and the capture
of Milroy's forces, where he. in company
with two other stan officers, served the
guns Of an artillery company when all
but three of the cannoneers were shot
down.
DR.. McKim's lecture was in part about
the attack his brigade made at Gettys-
burg. on Culp's HAl, when 1t captured
part Of the works and held possession from
pm until 10 am. the next day. 1t was
listened to with rapt attention by those on

A Tribute.

On the 21st of September, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. H. H. Wheless, of Alden
Bridge, there passed from this earth one
OF its truest spirits. cold Aunt Silvy,"
as she was Familiarity known, closed her
long and useful life, and rested her busy
hands in a final and peaceful Sleep
Though dark of hue, she possessed quail
tiles of heart which would have done
credit to many of higher station. Faith
full, kind and true, she will ever be re-
membered by those who knew her best.
Aunt Silvy was one of the large body of
slaves who used to belong to the Ellison
estate, and her feeling of affection for
the family of her former owners was such
as is attributed to the ex-slaves bv the
fluent pen of our best Southern writer's.
Her age was unknown, but she must have
been near 80-though her untiring en-
ergy and helpful disposition kept her
busy to the end. She leaves a memory
and example after her which will prove,
that, though humble, her life has not
been lived in vain.
