ALL ABOUT CUBA.
James Powers Tells Why the Cubans
Are Degraded.

Miss Victoria Powers a member oi
the teaching corps of this city, has
just received an interesting lettei
from her brother. James, now il
Havana, Cuba. We have obtaine;
permission to print selections from
the same as given below:
HAVANA, Cuba. Nov. 10. 1901.
AS you already know | started
from Chicago, Oct. II, going directly
to New York City. The boat ride
from that place to Cuba consumed 81
days very pleasantly. Still it was
rather lonesome and. to any one no.
particularly fond of ocean travelling
tritle tiresome, The first two da,s
the weather was splendid but on tn,
third. the water was little rough
Still not enough to make me sea-sick
Il have been very busy since my ar
rival looking after my interests in tn,
battleship Maine, also the Alphonso
that was sunk by our boys during the
Spanish American war. At present
everything looks favorable.
This is glorious Countrywide
climate is simply superb. All kinds
of tropical fruits are produced anc
vegetation in general very luxuriant.
Everything in the building line il.
very ancient. There are only a few
three-story buildings in the city.
which numbers 250.000. Another pc
cularity of the Havana buildings Is
the very high ceilings and the tile
stone or marble floors. have no
seen a wooden floor since came
here.
These houses look very much like
prisons with iron barred windows and
iron doors. some of them fantastically
decorated
The Cubans use no screens since
they have no flies. However there are
mosquitoes innumerable and each one
has sting that never faileth.
This splendid place for sight see
ing. have been to Moro Castle. the
great fort you have read about Fort
Princepy another famous structure,
many years old. also visited. But
cannot explain their grandeur. You
have to see such things before you can
understand how interesting they are.
The cemetary where the Maine"
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1901-11-25

victims were buried before their re-
moval to Arlington, United States. also
was well worth seeing.
"One of the sights there is IA monu-
ment which ranks among the worlds
finest. 1t was erected in honor of
thirty fireman killed, while on duty
here. few years ago. The structure
is said to have cost $3.50, 900. and is
finely executed. Each fireman's face
is carved on the stone as natural as
life.
while this is a fine country the
people here are a very degraded class.
shiftless and filthy.
THE native Cubans of the interior
have little shack or cabin, which is
rot only the family dwelling. but also
serves to shelter the stock. hogs, goats.
lows, mules, chickens and anything
else in that line which | have forgot
en- or you happen to think of. They
sleep and eat together guess.
1.-The Havana people are almost
white in color. more like mulatto.
and are decidedly mixed class. 1t is
thus very difficult to tell white man
from a negro-they all look alike.
"At least sixty thousand demo
monde are registered here besides
many who have so far escaped regis
ration. So you see there is a reason
for their degradation. Certainly they
are not desirable class of people to
live among" JAMES POWERS.

N. C. Miller Tells Of His Trip to the
Capital.

was away Well. that depends on
the point of view and the person con.
cerned. 1t was interesting to me.
said N c. Miller this afternoon. III.
Miller returned last evenins. from \
trip to Denver. the above being in an.
swer to question concerning the
same.
Yes he continued, the trip might
be said to combine the social, polit-
ical and the legal.
Politically? I'm not dabbling in
politics much this year No. pre-
fer not TO say anything about poll
tics, except this, that the question IN
Denver seems to be whether seaman
and his crowd will get next to the
president, or whether 1t Will be the
old one. It seems to depend entire
ly upon which side you happen to
strike. There are adherents of both.
The legal business was the argu-
ing of the old Rachofsky cases be-
fore the court of appeals Also a
county case involving the fees of the
county superintendent of schools,
II, Durnell's old case The decisions
Will not probably be given before the
first of the year.
Socially Denver is very gay just
now. In the theatres there is moth
ing of any special interest Denver
seems to be gone crazy on vaude-
vile at present Really the theat-
rical attractions make one ask. are
the good players all dead or gone
east? They're not in Denver. that's
sure.
