Many women have been reproached for

No one doubts that such an aim is petty

that it is a wcnans duty to understand

the subject of an attractive and useful

THE EQUITABLE Obligations OF


CUBA.
The Cuban information committee have
returned satisfied that the United States
will remain firm in the position taken by
no doubt are further convinced that there
is nothing to expect in the line Of con-
cessions looking toward reciprocal trade
from this administration. The president
very automatically refused to discuss the
economical questions of the future re-
lations Of the two nations, assigning as
reason the fact that there was no
Cuban government in existence, with
which to discuss such questions The
suzerainty which the United States pro-
poses to exercise over the financial policy
of Cuba, if accepted by the Cubans may
result in extremely delicate compllca-
TORS.
The $70,0000OO Cuban bonds fioated by
the Spanish government to carry on the
Cuban war, which are now held In Europe
and which Spain tried in vain to have the
United States guarantee are one of the
prime factors that constitute the neces-
sfty for American suzerainty. Should
Cuba be set adrift by the United States,
no one doubts that these bonds would be
presented to Cuba, backed by such a
show of force by the governments of the
holders thereof, that Cuba could do moth
ing but acknowledge the liability and
rake terms for their payment. Under
the Plat amendment the United States
will repudiate at once and forever these
unjust Spanish claims. There is another
set of claims which may involve the
United States in the meshes of an eth
zeal controversy, involving the equitable
tights of bondholders to whom the Cuban
people are justly indebted. We refer TO
the obligations of previous Cuban revo-
lutionary governments, which at present
with interest amount to some $4,000 900.
In 1868 the Republic of Cuba issued and
sold at % cents 100000 of 6 per cent
bonds. In 1873 there was an issue OF $24.-

THAT DETENTION HOSPITAL.

No one who has any knowledge of the
conditions attending the commitment of
the insane can fail to regard with the
utmost approval the provision Of the law
OF 1901 which looks to the detention at
the city hospitals of patients about whose
sanity there may be some doubt until the
doubts are waived either by full assur-
ance of insanity or by such a measure
of recIperation as to give the assurance
of recovery. The enforcement Of the
measure in this city is of the utmost i'm
portance. 1t viii not be accomplished I'M
less the necessary condition of public SEN
tment IS called into existence. The ia
cilities for maintaining a detention hos
pital are not available in the building now
IN existence, and an addition will become
necessary to the city hospital in order to
put the law into effective operation.
The experience of the city physician in
trying to secure the necessary facilities
for the establishment of contagious de-
partment will naturally cause some serj-
