Havana, May sl.-The natal day OF
the republic Of Cuba found Havana
arrayed like n queen to await the COM

of the prosperous days of her power
and wealth. The decorations were
universal.
The decorations along the water
front were exceedingly lavish, and all
the shipping in the harbor was dressed
in gala attire. The majority of the
ships flew the American ensign at the
main, and the Cuban colors at the fore
or mizzen. The United States armored
cruiser Brooklyn, which was to take
Gen. Wood away, and the steamer
MORO Castle, of the Ward line, on
which the troops We're to embark, as
well as the foreign warships which had
been sent by their governments to be

ANXIETY FELT ON ALL SIDES.
SIR WILLIAM c. VAN HORNE ARRIVES,
AND TELLS OF CONDITIONS IN CUBA.

\ A
That Cuba needs such assistance as the
United States can give in the way OF a reduc-
ton sugar is the opinion Of Sir William
c. Van Horne, president of the Cuba Company.
Of No so Broadway who arrived here yesterday
from Cuba on the steamer MORO Castle.
With General Granville Dodge. who is also
interested in the Cuba Company. Sir Will
lam c. Van Horne has been spending three
months in the interior OF Cuba, inspecting the
construction of a railroad between Santa Clara
and Santiago. This railroad has been under
construction since the close Of the war. It is
the last link required to connect Havana and
Santiago by rail- the railroad heretofore run
ming only as far as Santa Clara. OF the $50
miles less than 200 had been constructed when
the Cuba Company took hold. From Santa
Clara to Santiago 365 miles Of American stand
ara gauge track will have been laid when the
last rails are put down within the next two
or three months.
The greatest anxiety is felt all sides
throughout the island" said Sir William, as
to the final action of Congress on the Cuban
tariff bill With fair adjustment Of this vital
question there is no doubt that the island will
soon get down to a settled business basis. and
the question of annexation will then be brought
on the carpet"
What is the smallest percentage of reduction
of tariff which Will meet the needs Of the ISL
and?" was asked.
My knowledge of the sugar business IS too
general 10 say
Would 20 per cent he sufficient"
IT don't believe it would"
How soon will the planters actually need this
assistance?"
They are at that point now. There are a few
perhaps half dozen-who have ample capital.
no debts and modern machines who will not need
any assistance. There are a lot who suffered
by the war. Their crops were burned: they
could plant nothing: their buildings ana machin-
cry damaged. After the war they were
obliged 10 mortgage their plantations to make
repairs and equip them with modern machinery.
These are the ones who are in a difficult posi-
ton. Some of these will probably not pull
through, even if assistance comes promptly
From whom We're the loans made?"
There is plenty of Cuban money in the hands
of the bankers. Most Of it came from them
General Dodge, in speaking of the railroad
said: II have inspected every mile Of the line
be when completed. of the best modern
railroads in operation anywhere. Particular at
tention has been paid 10 building a roadbed
which will give safe and rapid transit for
freight and passenger service. The road opens
up the richest tract the island. and brings
the producer in close touch with the principal
export city"
The road is to be equipped with American
rolling stock, some OF which is now on the ISL
and The road has been laid with 6O-pound
rails. 1t passes through Sancta Spiritus, with
1900 inhabitants; Puerto Principe, with 10000;

The chief products OF the country through
which the railroad passes are sugar. cattle,

ROOSEVELT'S FIRST VETO
HE WILL NOT REMOVE THE CHARGE OF
DEsERTION FROM a SAILORS RECORD.

Washington, March 11-President Roosevelt
sent his first veto message to Congress TO-DAY
It was directed to the Senate and the bill vetoed
was one removing the charge of desertion from
the naval record of John Glass. The message
was follows:
There can be no graver crime than the crime
OF Gesertlun from the army or navy, especially
during war; 1t is then high treason to the nation
and is justly punishable by death No man
should be relieved from such a crime especiaII1-
when nearly forty years have passed since II
occurred, save on the clearest possible proof of
his real innocence. In this case the statement
made by the aff1ant before the COMMITTEES does
not in all points agree with his statement made
to the Secretary Of the Navy. In any event II
Is incomprehensible to me that he should not
have made effective effort to get hack into tha
navy. He had served but little more than a
month when he deserted and the war lasted for
over a year afterward yet he made no effort
Whatever to get back into the war Under such
circumstances ii seems to me that TO remove
the charge Of desertion from the navy and give
him an honorable discharge would be to falsifv
the recorus, and do an injustice to his gallant
and worthy comrades who fought the war 10 a
nnsh. The names Of the veterans who fought
public, and am not willing to put unon n the
name OF a man unworthy OF the high position
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
After the message had been delivered Senator
Gallinger, from the Committee on Naval At
fairs read the report of the committee on which
the Senate acted. Prom that statement it ap-
peared that Glass enlisted in January 1864
when only sixteen years old and that having
witnessed an act which compromised the second
officer OF the ship. he was taken ashore in
March OF that year by that officer and fold NOT
TO report again for duty The COMMITTEES saw
that this order, together with C,Iass's youth
was responsible for his desertion.

GENERAL HUGHES HEARD AGAIN

HE KNOWS OF ONLY ONE CASE OF WATER
CURE"
Washington March T.-GeneraI Hughes contn-
ued his testimony before the Senate Committee on
the Philippines to-day. In reply to a question by
Senator Patterson he said the death rate among
Spanish prisoners was far beyond what it should
have been. Investigation proved that the prison
ers were so debilitated by OF their long
stay IN the heat and by their military service that
they were unable to rally from any Illness which
attacked them. He said he had urged the return
OF United States troops to this country after two
years service.
Senator Patterson called attention 10 the water
cure" but General Hughes said II was prac-
tsed In his command 1t tried in case. he
had learned by the Macabebe scouts, who. how
ever had promised not to repeat it.
In response TO questions by Senator Beveridge
