aged-War of Caste.

Havana, May 5.-The enthusiasm
over the visit of President Elect Palma
to Santiago continues; but according
to dispatches received by the local
press, political jealousies and envy fol-
low his footsteps. and the two political
parties, the Nationalist. majority of
which is composed Of negroes, and the
Republican, representing the white
population, are wider apart than ever.
Senior Castillo the leader of the Re-
publicans. and Senior Bravo, the leader
of the Nationalists, are not on speaking
terms.
La Lucia in it's last issue says: "Pres-
ident Elect Palma took breakfast at
the house of Senior Castillo recently,
and this fact gave rise to adverse COM
ment, as the popular element regard
the followers of Castillo as outsiders.
On another occasion Senior Palma, in
stead of going to the house of Senior
Ferrer Olano, to which the politicians
wanted him to go, went to the house
of Senior Ignacio Casas, an old Spanish
friend Of Senior Palma and friend Of
the Maso element.
'Palma's Independence.
"The independence Of the president
elect upon those occasions has upset
the politicians. who thought they would
be able to manage the president elect
as they chose. 1t is useless to talk Of
union in Santiago. The division among
the various elements is too great, and
Senior Palma sees that until this war
Of caste of races is ended there will be
no peace in the island"
Many persons have applied to the
president elect for positions, and to
these Senior Palma has said that offices
will be given to those who are compe-
tent and that mans war record does
not necessarily mean that he has abili-
ty to manage public affairs.
Archbishop Barnada, administrator
of the diocese of Havana, has issued
orders to the clergy throughout the is
land to work in conjunction with the
committees appointed to welcome Pres
ident Elect Palma and to ring the bells
of the churches upon the arrival in
their towns of Senior Palma. The order
also provides for the ringing Of the
bells at noon May 20.
A solemn high mass will be cele-
brated in the cathedral in Havana, as
we'll as in every church in the island,
the day of Palma's Inauguration.

Stewart was in congress discussing the
principles of protection and said In the
course of his remarks that Ohio, Ken.
lucky and Indiana sent their hay
stacks, cornf1elds and fodder to New
York and Philadelphia markets to sell.
Charles A. Wycklffe jumped up and
said: "Why, that is absurd, Mr.. Speak.
er. call the gentleman to order. He
is stating an absurdity. We never send
haystacks or cornfelds to New York
or Philadelphia.
"Well, what do you send?" asked
Stewart.
1--WE send" replied Wyckcliffe,
"horses, cattle, hogs and mules"
"Well," continued Stewart, what
makes your horses, cattle, hogs and
mules? You feed 500 worth of hay to
a horse; you get on top Of your hay
stack and ride of to market. How
about your cattle? You make every one
carry $50 worth Of hay or grass to an
eastern market. You send hog worth
$40 to market. How much corn at 33
cents bushel does it take to fatten it?
Why, thirty bushels. Then you put
thirty bushels Of corn into the shape of
hog and make it walk to an eastern
market"
Before Stewart could proceed further
Wyckliffe arose and said, "Mr. Speak

The incalculable amount OF good
