Describing the land as situated in the
province of Santa Clara, on the Zapata
peninsula. Steamers are advertised as
running from the small port of Bata-
bano. in the province of Havana to the
bay of Cochinos, in Santa Clara. No
such line of steamers exists for two
reasons-lack of water and lack of
trade. Zapata peninsula is largely a
swamp, described in the report of the

by the northern coast it may be
said that there exists only one entrance
t othe swamp in the province of Santa
Clara. In order to reach this pass there
are only four practicable roads To go
thru these entrances on horseback it is
necessary to wrap the horses from their
heads to their knees with pieces of
hard leather, in order to prevent them
injuring themselves against the points
OF the coral called dog teeth and so
that they may endure the journey,
which, by reason of the nature of the
ground, is necessarily slow and ardu-
Gus, as Well as unpleasant on account
of the numerous mosquitoes in the
swamp.
For the men, it is necessary to car
ry provisions along, because the ma

live there. live exclusively on crocodile

Chicago. Oct. 20.-Large receipts in
the northwest caused an easier feeling
at the opening in wheat. Excellent
weather was also q weakening factor.
Commission houses had plenty of buy

Weakness prevailed in the latter part
of the day. December, after selling at

selling being in the way of further

Compulsory Arbitration in New Zea
land.

| [Kansas City Start
! CRITICS of the various social reforms
I in New Zealand have pointed out all
along that the real test would come In
a season of hard times Under pros
porous coalitions such as have existed
for several years in Australiaas almost
any social system would have worked
smoothly. But a period of business de-
preston has now arrived and friction
seems to be developing.
| Tom Mann, an English labor leader,
has lately visited New Zealand and the
result of his observations on the work.
Iings of the compulsory arbitration law
for labor disputes are of much interest.
In his book, "a Country Without
Strikes Mr. H. D. Lloyd has familiar
lied the public with the operations OF
the plan. In 1894 an act was passed
creating boards of conciliaton and a
final court of arbitration. Either the
employer or the employes-where or
ganized in registered union-could
bring a controversy before a board of
cancellation for settlement. An appeal
was allowed to the arbitration court
and its decision was binding on both
, parties. Refusal to accept the award
was made punishable by fine. Appeals
We're taken so regularly that last
year an act was passed allowing cases
to be brought Immediately before the
.WAydcrtan,i-M rfird sh ct ct ct etaoi
court Of last resort.
Mr.. Mann reports that up to June,
1901, the court had dealt with 80 cases,
and that the decisions had been salts
! e. oil hal
The disquietins fact which he points
out is that these We're recent cases and
that there seems to be a growing dis
satisfaction with the system. The
trouble apparently is the result of the
present Industrial depression. For in
stance, the court recently decided that
the conditions of labor in the case of
the Wellington Typographical Union
We're more favorable than the state of
trade warranted. The union may dis
band as consequence. But each en-
ploye will still be personally liable to
a fine OF $50 il he refuses to accept the
award. The Seamen's and Firemens
unions are much dissatisfied with a de-
cision in July refusing Them an adj
vance in wages. Mr.. Mann found in
dications of q reversal in feeling to-
ward the arbitration law. Formerly
the opposition to it came from the enl-
blowers. Now they are upholding 1T
while a hostile spirit is developing
among the workmen.
Obviously If the plant is to be sue
cessful it must be upheld at all times.
It ought not to be continued only so
long as theawardssuit one party to the

have been expected. 1t may not prove
so formidable, however, as some of the
opponents Of the system anticipate.

Birds and Insects.
New York WORLD. 4

The bark Antroch, OF Boston, "a days
ont from Buenos Ayres, arrived at
quarantine yesterday with an unusual
story OF the sea. When 500 miles north
west of Porto Rico, nocks of land birds
and swarms of butterflies and locusts
took refuge on the bark. The birds
and insects completely covered the
nasts, sails and rigging. 1t is surmis-
ed that they were blown to sea in a
storm and could not breast the wind in
return.
When 100 miles off Cape Hatteras a
similar incident occurred, but the birds
and insects were fewer in number.
