CUBAN NEGROES
Want Representation Among
Officials of the Island.
D, Not Intend Rebellion, but All
Glasses Must Unite.
If United States Ever Falls, It Will Be
Negroes Work.

Havana, June "a meeting of the
negro clement i'll Havana with Juan
Gilherto Gomez presiding, was held
here, today. 1t was claimed that this
meeting represented all the negro or
CARNATIONS of Cuba.
Addressing the meeting Senior Rom
don said the negroes of Cuba had no in
tention of rebeiling, but if the people
of Cuba were not united they could not
hold their own against the Americans.
If the Americans invested capital in
Cuba they would also bring their own
labOrers and managers of estates: the
United States needed Cuba, Porto
Rico and Hawaii as places to send
negroes of that country. If the down.
fall of the United States ever occurred.
declared Senior Rondon, it would be due
to the negroes. The negroes only want
ed their rights, and if the Cuban gov
eminent could not harmonic the two
races the republic would be a failure.
Senior ROndon was followed by Senior
Sanchez. The latter said that after so
much fighting for liberty he felt
ashamed to have to speak in behalf of
the black race, whose condition in Cuba
nevertheless was one of servitude.
Senior Sanchez declared that honest
and capable negroes were not given
positions on the Havana police, and
notwithstand this the police contained
a great number of thieves who were
white.
Juan Guanberto Gomez said that the
negroes were initially excluded from
the Havana police force at the in
stance of the late General Ludlow,
when he was military governor of the
city, who argued that in the begin
ming of American intervention in Cuba
the 1000 American troops in Havana
were mostly recruited from the South
ern states, that these troops were
largely composed, according to Gen.
Ludlow. of doubtful character and if
negroes had been admitted to the po-
lice force. disorder between the white
and the colored police would have been
certain.
Senior Gomez explained that this had
been only a temporary arrangement,
that the American troops in question
had long since departed, and that to-
day the blacks in Cuba claimed equally
with the whites.

Old Town put up the best she had as
she intended to show Off ner new team
and set a hot pace for the season in the
Eastern Maine League. To be sure, the
men had just arrived and had not
played together, but all of them were
individually good players and had been
in the game all the season thus far
1t was the first time Fairfield had
beer so far from home for the season,
but Kane, who was known to some
from his playing with Waterville,
last year, made it seem more
home like, especially when some of the
old familiar twists came sailing across
the plate. Then after the third inning
when the visitors had four runs and the
home team just a few goose eggs it
seemed as if Fairfield had been playing
in Old Town all the time.
1t came dangerously near being a
