That this sentiment prevails generally
there can be no doubt. It crops out at
every turn. I was talking with several
ICubans the other day, and when the point
Twas raised that Cuba had no navy, one of
them pointed to United States battleship
that was anchored in the harbor, and
said: -.

.~ Cuban Revenues Have Sufi1ced. +,
It should be understood in this connec-:
ton that no money has been provided by
the United States government for the;
maintenance of affairs in Cuba. The sal
aries of the army officers are all that has
come from this source, and these would
have been the same no matter where the
troops were located. The sixty millions
of dollars which have been expended in
the reconstruction of the island have been
derived wholly from it's own revenues
The income has been about a million and
a half a month, and the expenditures have
been kept within this limit, To keep them
there is going to be the tax upon Estrada
Palma's executive ability. Many claim
that he cannot possibly do it. 1t will cost
him more to run the government, than it
has cost General Wood The salaries of
the president, vice president, members OF
congress, ministers to foreign countries,
etc, will have to be added to the present
expense. AS an offset to this unavoidable
increase, however, it must be taken into
consideration that millions have been; 4ex.
pended in publie works, sanitary measures,
etc., that will mot have to be; duplicated
for years, and the money that has been
going into these improvements can now be

penses of the government.
There are many arguments that can

of affairs becomes such that our people
generally will agree to annexation, any
delay on the part Of the United States in
granting the request will make it difficult
to restrain the unreasonable element in
Cuba. 1t will be easy for the interruptions
politicians to excite the ignorant masses
to rash action, and fear violation of
the Plat amendment. The people here,
as rule, think the United tSates wants
Cuba, and if their plea for admittance
meets the fate Of the reciprocity measure,
and is postponed from time to time, It
Will discourage them, and likely cause
them to look, elsewhere for assistance in

for a term expiring August ~, 1902,
and adjourned court along in June to

thinking that from the confusion OF
dates there might be some irregularity
in the proceedings, at the suggestion
OF the prosecuting attorney had the
cases called again Tuesday morning,
the 18th, and the Dooleys still not ap-
peariug a second forfeiture OF their
bonds was declared. We are informed
that the attorneys for the defendants
had in some way received the impress
sion that the cases we're continued to
the November term, and had advised
the Dooleys that their presence would
not be required until that time. The
Harris boys, between whom and the
Dooleys the feud exists, were in town
as witnesses, and it is said that they
brought their Winchssters and were
otherwise heavily armed. There was
an uneasy feeling among some of our
people that if the Dooleys should come
to town there would be trouble, but
the general impression was that they
would not put in an appearance, which
proved true.-FarmtmgtOn Times.

COlOred Teachers Institute.

PENNINGTON, Mo-, Aug. IA, 1902.
The Institute for colored teachers in
the De Soto district closed here to-day,
after an interesting session of two
weeks. The following resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, We, the teachers of the De
Soto district, having been in session since
August 4th, complete our labors to-day, and
we feel that we have derived much benefit
from the Institute. Therefore be it
Resol0ed, First, that we heartily endorse
the high grade of work done in the Institute
by our worthy Conductor, because his
methods will serve to give a new spirit to
our work.
Second, we extend our sincere thanks to
Prof. d. W. Anthony for the fair and i'm
partial manner in which he has conducted
the Institute, and we hope the State Board
of Education will send him to us as Con-
ductor for the year 1908.
Third, we feel grateful to Revs. Wool
rich and Steele and the citizens of Farm
ington, who have shown their appreciation
Of our efforts by their visits to the Institute.
Fourth, we thank the Pennington Board
of Education for the use of their building
and apparatus.
Fifth, we appreciate the fact that the
standard for teachers has been raised, and
that every one is required to attend an In
stitute or its equivalent.
Sixth, we respectfully ask the State Board
of Education to use its influence with the
next General Assembly to have certain por-
tons of the Institute law repealed, viz:
the section that refers to teachers who are in
possession Of certificates in force, having to
pay an Institute fee. We recommend that
colored teachers may be examined under
their nearest County Board Of Education,
and their certificates be endorsed anywhere
in the State.
ResoI0ed, That copy of these resolutions
be sent to each of the following papers: st.
Genevieve, Pennington, I~ronton, St. Louis
Eagle, and also a copy be sent to Hon. w.

of evolution from a log cabin to a
spacious hotel with accommodations
for four hundred guests. The Ken
lucky State Guards are having their
annual encampment here, and with
the hundreds of visitors here, it is
quito a lively place.
Saturday morning Aug. 17th), a few
minutes after arriving, l joined a party
Of sixty to go the short route, or the
route of pixies and domes, a distance of
five miles. We entered the cave at
8 A. NJ. and returned at 1880 P. NJ,
walking continuously. The entrance
is about 25x30 feet; passing along for
about fifty yards we passed through
the iron gate; it was locked and we
were left to follow the guides.
We first passed through Hutchin's
Narrows, named in honor of a hunter
named Hutchins, who discovered the
cave in 1909, while in chase of a
wounded bear. Next is the Rotunda,
and the fitness of the name is COM
plete. Here we see the teaching watts
used by the miners in 1811-12 in the
manufacture Of saltpeter, which was
hauled to Louisville, 100 miles north,
and used in the manufacture of pow
der for the war of 1912. Next is the
Methodist Church, formed by the
union of the main cave and Archibald
avenue, where a Methodist minister
preached to the miners. We now
pass along and enter Gothic avenue,
from there into Booths Ampitheatre;
here the celebrated actor delivered
several pieces to a party, and from
that day it has taken his name. We
pass. on by many points of interest,
such as The Wasp's Nest, Elephants
Heads, Consumptive Huts; the last
named are stone huts erected for a
party of consumptives, who came down
from New York several years ago and
took up their abode in the cave, think
ing the equable climate would cure
them, but at the end of a year a few
had died and the balance decided to
leave-four dying between the mouth
of the cave and the hotel. Next we
have the armed chair where Jennie
Lynn sat and sang Coming Through
the Rye" Next is the Bridal Cham
Der, where several couples have been
married. Limitation Hill is the last
point, here We stand and veiw Lovers
Leap, but are allowed to proceed no
farther. We retraced our steps, a
tired crowd upon reaching light once
again.
Sunday morning we formed a party
of 10 and started on the long route-9
miles-or river route. The main
point of interest being Echo River, a
beautiful little river said to be in
habited by blind fish. BY going
through the Corkscrew you can save
considerable walking, but it is any
thing but pleasant. There are really
more points of interest in the long
than the short route, but it is much
longer and more tiresome.
