Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
HAVANA. April "a, 1902.
For more than three, years 1 have been
travelling this island from end to end, inte-
rior and coast alike and often where horse
back has been the only means OF convey
ance. Speaking freely the language Of the
people, / have lived much and closely
among them-so much and closely that 1
have sometimes been weeks together with
out hearing a dozen words of the English
tongue. Out of a suff1ciency of knowledge
and with good conscience l can say that
people they are worthy of all that our
government can do toward giving them a
fair start among the family of nations, and
that President Roosevelt put his finger on
the danger spot for them and the plague
spot for us if We deny or shirk our duty,
when he told Congress that we must for
the time being open our market to their
sugar and tobacco if they are ever to get
upon their feet.
Though the Cubans are as homogeneous a
people as ourselves-more SO. in fact-they
are very different people, and the first
step toward getting acquainted with them
is to give up all that one had supposed he
knew about them: after which, If he is a
fair speaker. of Cuban-Spansh, and will
not insist upon looking at everything
through American eyeglasses, and will en-
Il
the dominant note to the character and the
habits of the people as a whole, he will in
time get serviceable notion of their mer-
it's and defects.
Current American Decisions.
Here are some current American delu-
sions about Cuba which I mention partic-
ularly because they are sure to crop out in
the conversation of any visitor from Gods
country
1. That the Cubans are very largely ne
groes mulattoes Whatever merit there
Is in belonging to the white race the Gu
bans. as a people, may claim It.
2. That they are naturally turbulent
people This is because. before the Spanish
war, we only heard of them when they
were in Instruction. The truth is that
they are peaceable and docile. but like all
Spanish descended peoples. they are very
ceremonious. and all our heartiness and
sincerity do not make up to them our lack
of that roundabout courtesy in which their
whole life and conduct are stepped. Easy
tain generals. Yes, but you must govern
hat in hand
5. That they are indolent. Farm work
here begins by starlight. preceded by a cup
of black coffee. and continues till breakfast
time, about 10 in the morning. Then the
toiler takes his ease for hour or two.
and the American passer-by may see him
idle and smoking in front of the house. and.
the plOW lying idle in the furrOw. But let
the traveller put up at the farm house for
two or three days, and he will unlearn one
of the things he has been most positive
about.

An Interesting Point of View.

single anecdote may serve to make peo-
pie at home understand the difference be-
tween the Cubans and ourselves. The in
telligent and worthy postmaster of a good
sized town told me he could not approve of
the registry system imposed upon the ser
vice by the Americans In charge at Ha-
vana. because as a letter usually meant
either bad news or an application for
money, 1t was unknd to interfere with its
ordinary chances Of going astray. Out of
the same courteous regard Spanish post
age stamp carried a letter no further than
the post office of destination. At some con-
venent time after arrival an attache of the
office would take the letter to the person
addressed. If. after examining the outside,
he decided to accept it, he paid a small fee
to the carrier. If not. it was taken back to
the post office without demur where it re-
manned indefinitely. subject to the call OF
the addressee If he should happen to change
his mind for any reason.

The Typical Cuban as He Is.


Though the rurale might be content to
live and die in the old fashion, and take
no thought for the morrow he cannot live
and die in the old fashion, and fully 30
per cent Of the million and a half inhabit-
ants are too much infected by the touch
of AmericaniSm to let him or themselves
alone. 1 believe there are zeal and ca
pacty and conscience enough in that leav-
enng mass to move Cuba onward and up
ward under the suzerainty that our gov
eminent has seen proper to retain over the
island, but their sugar and tobacco are
the present means of life to the Cubans,
and II their overlords at Washington.

their only market for those products. we

and thus far we have refused a substitute
till a new and Independent way can be

The typical Cuban is to be found in the
cane field, swinging his machete all day
long under broiling sum- and almost hid
den by high and thick tange that shuts
out every breath of air from his sweltering
body. naked from the waist up and the knees
down. For this his wage is less than a

MIR. Jefferson continued his sermon
on the mount with the balance of the
fifth chapter OF Matthew, and after the
forty-seyenth verse, he turned to the
sixth chapter of Luke ans inserted
this:

from the seventh chapter of Matthew
as follows,
l. Judge not, that 50 bc not Judged

The bible of Jefferson" has at.
tracted more attention recently in
Washington and throughout the coun-
Try than perhaps any one other sub
iect which has developed outside of
the usual routine of the legislative pro
gram during the present session of
congress. A resolution has been passed
providing for the reproduction of what
Jefferson called THE Morals of Jesus
Of Nazareth but what has become
popularity known as The Jefferson BIZ
BILE" Since the passage of that resolu-
tion the demand for copies OF the pro
posed publication has been enormous.
Mr.. Lacey, the author OF the resoiu-
ton, has received something like 1000
requests. and the pressure upon other
members is In proportion. The resoiu-
ton proposed the publication of 5000
copies, 5000 of which we're for the use
of the senate and 5000 for the house OF
representatives. Pressure has been
brought to bear by private publishers
to prevent It's publication by the gov
eminent and to secure the privilege Of
producing It. Mr.. Lacey, because of
tho public demand is inclined TO nave
the resolution rescinded and permit
the publication by private interests.
II this is done no monopoly can be
given to any one publisher.
Mr.. Lacy, in explaining how he came
to start the present movement for the
publication of the work, says:

chased by the government, and is now
