THE CUBAN HYMN.

The Cuban hymn is sung in every hamlet In Cuba. It is called "Himno de Bayamo'' The name is derived from the small town in Santiago prov ince where the Cuban flag was first raised. It was written by a native. To the contest, sons of Bayamo! From your country her blessings re-
 ceive;
 A patriots death fear ye never,
 Higher honor man could not achieve. Life in chains is galling to freemen; The portion of craven and slave; The voice of the angel of freedom Is calling to those who are brave. Fear ye not the wrath of Ibersi Like all tyrants, she's coward at
 heart;
 Cuba's valor will surely o'erwhelm her; Lo, her empire and prestige depart! The might of her ages is waning, Crumbles her pride and her power! Hark to the call of freedom;
 To arms, all ye hosts-'tis the
 hourr'
 Be the night ever blessed remembered, When at Yara the tocsin of glee, The notes of the war trumpet sound And the Cubans were vowed to be
 free.
 Let the star be not dimmed in it's
 glory
 Worked in gold by the fair of the
 land!
 Beneath it forever and ever
 Loyal Cubans together will stand! English version by Frederic J. Has, kin.

ST. sWITHTN IS BLAMED
It Was Rainy and it Will Rain for

It Was Rainy and it Will Rain for
 Thirty-one Days More.
 St. Swithin is to blame for the whole of it, as any weatherwise person who knows of all the twists and cranks of prophecy will agree. The old adage in verse is:
 ''St Swithin's day if 1t be fair For forty days twill rain no mair. St. Swithin's day if 1t doth rain, For forty days it will remain. It describes the present situation of the weather completely. St. Swith- in's day was Tuesday July 15, and it rained that day, hard showers pre- vailing in the afternoon. It has rained every day more or less, probably more, and Wednesday was another. Re ally it began to look just after lunch as if the skies were to be bright, but between and 3 there was rattling shower, heavy rain, lightning, thunder, and, in the south part of the city, hail. The afternoon was muggy and close after the shower, and if the St Swith- in's day prophecy is to come true in all respects it must continue to rain more or less each day for thlrty-three days more.
 Hard luck. speaking Of St SW1th1n, he was born in Winchester, England, about 800, and died about S62. He was bishop of Winchester and was noted for many GU es performed after death, possibly water cures. For some unknown reason St Swithin has been as- sociated in the popular mind with drunkenness, but why any saint whose chief merit concerned the precipitation of so much water should have been chosen as the patron saint of drunken ness is one of the things that no fellow can find out.
 For the purpose of comparison the following letter about Julys and wet weather is given:
 To the Editor of the Courant:
 It may interest your many readers to compare the present July with oth- CTS, as regards rainfall. The highest rainfall since 1872 was in July, 1897. when 15.76 inches of rain fell, 9.32 inches of which1fell July 12, 13 and A. The rainfall this year in July, up to the 22d. was 5.30 inches. Other years the July rainfall was: 1872. 548 inches; 1888, 7.O3; 1885, '5.O3; 1889, 1O:97; 1S9O 5.25; 1899, TSP. The mean July rain- fall since 1872 has been 4.72 inches; highest. 15.76, in 1897; lowest, LA, in 1894. Hartford Courant.

 General Leonard Wood is not likely to be appointed member of the Pan- anna canal commission, it is said, all though he much desires it. The req son given is that Mark Hanna is deter mined to oppose his preferment in all directions except that of regular army promotion. because he thinks that Wood was unfair to his dear friend Rathbone. MT Hanna has been such faithful supporter of President Roosevelt in all the principal measures of his administration that the president cannot afford to invite his antagonism in any mere personal matter such as an effort to please his friend Wood Hartford Times.

 A Brooklyn judge who was called upon to settle the difficulties between a young husband and wife, the latter having sued the former for abandon ment, gave the following free advice to the plaintiff: "Keep your husband jealous. Make his Jealous and you will be happy. If he is jealous you will never need to enter court again to sue him for abandonment. The jeal- ous husband is kind; the jealous hus- band Is faithful the jealous husband is loving. Keep your husband jea1- ous."

A striking evidence of the close afffl- iation of those persons who are the benefciaries of the tariff, and their de- termination to conceal from the public information to which it is entitled, is furnished by the lack Of success which has attended the efforts of Judge Griggs to secure copy of the Special Discount Sheet" issued by American exporters, says correspondent, writ ing from Washington. While it Is a well known fact that American manu- facturers, in numerous instances, avail themselves of special privileges con- ferred on them by the traiff to mulct American consumers, making them pay nearly double what is paid by foreign CTS for the same articles, Judge Griggs believed that the authoritative state ment of the Special Discount Sheet would bring the facts home to Ameri- can voters as would nothing else. He, therefore, commissioned an employe of the democratic committee to obtain one. Every effort to do so failed, and then reward of $100 was offered for copy, but so far without avail It is also notable that number of the lead ing newspapers of New York city re fused to insert the advertisement which the judge desired to place in their columns at their regular adver- Using rates, stating that they could not afford to antagonize q class of men who were extensive advertisers. This ground for refusal explains the numer- ous misleading editorials which ap- pear ill these same papers and the fre- quent peryersion of facts in which they indulge. While the committee has been unable to secure a copy of this particular sheet, it has procured copy of the export price list, and, although the discount sheet would show a far greater difference in prices, some of those contained in this list are inter, esting. Wire nails, for instance, which sell in this country for $2.25 per keg, are sold to foreigners for $1.30 per keg. Barbed wire, which sells here
 
 for $220 per hundred Shovels, which sell here for $7.50 per dozen, sell there for $5.S0 per dozen. Fruit jars are listed for sale abroad for 25 cents per dozen lesss typewriters for $45 each, less than here for the same machine; tin plate for $1 per hundred pounds less, and so on. And it is known that discounts are allowed even from the prices here quoted. Judge Griggs re- gards it, as inconceivable that Ameri- can consumers will be willing to con- tinue paying these higher prices for the benefit of the foreign consumers once they realize the facts. T am sat ist1ed that the Americans are paying 40 per cent more for American made gods than are the foreigners said the judge yesterday, "and I do not believe that they will be willing to continue so doing"

TO Face Indemnity Suit.

Honolulu, Sept. Ia, via San Fran
cisco Sept. 20.--The schooner Julia T..
Wbalen has returned from Marcus
Island, arriving here September 0,
without having accomplished the par.
poee for which she set out. When she
arrived at Marcus there was force OF
Japanese marines on shore, and they
we're prepared to resist the landing OF
the Americans. Under the circum-
stances Captain Rosehill, OF the
Whalen, decided not 10 attempt to
land, his force being much less than
the force OF the Japanese, and the
Marcus leland guano company will now
make claim against the Japanese
government for indemnity, basing It's
claim on the alleged title OF Rosehill
10 the island. Captain RosehilI ar.
rived at the island on the day after the
Japanese warship Kasagi left. The
Kasagi landed l6 armed marines and
left them on the island to protect the
interests OF the Japanese government,
being compelled TO return home for
coal, Her commander left with lien.
tenant Akinote, in command of the
marines, q letter from X. Ishi, secre-
tary to the imperial minister Of foreign
affaits, addressed to Captain Rosehill
and stating the position Of the Japan
ese government in the matter, The
letter stated that the warship had been
compelled to leave on account of lack
of coal, explained that Japan claimed
the island by virtue OF occupancy pre-
vious to that Of Rosehill, and ex.
pressed hope that he would avoid any
conflict and leave the controversy to
be settled by the American and Japan
ese governments. The guRno company
will make a claim on the Japanese
government for possession of the island,
alleging that Captain Rosehill's occu-
pancy was prior to that Of the Japan
ese, and will also ask for indemnity for
the loss Of the trip OF the schooner

| The prune crop Of the Northwest Will
mot b up to the usual mark this year.
Though the acreage il larger, the yield
will fall considerably below that Of last
year. In 1901 shipments 10 the East
from the Northwestern statep amounted
| to between 700 and 500 cars. This
year shipments will be between 100
and $50 cara short. On the other
Land, prunea will b. larger, the favor

having caused a material increase in
the size Of the fruit. This will be good
for the growers, rs il costs no more 10
dry prunes weighing so to 70 pounds
than i does those weighing 80 or 40
pounds, and the increase In weight
means corresponding increase ID the
selling price.
From all this, however. holders 81
prunes need not think they are going to
find profit. There seems to Be q gene
raj impression about the country that
prices will be az good as last year. but
the indications do not point that way.
Growers must not overlook the present
situation in California. In the Santa
