Views of Cuban Newspapers.

A special cable to the New York Herald
from Havana, Cuba, Tuesday says: Presi-
dent Palma's cabinet met today, but no for
NAL action was taken on the Bragg mat
ter.
The Decision says: IF the letter proves
authentic the Cuban government will cour-
teously but firmly address the Washington
government expressing a desire for the re-
lief of the functionary, who cannot con-
tlnue persona grata here nor longer serve
effectively the interests of the United
States, thus showing the American people
and government the patriotic judgment OF
the Cuban people and the firmness OF its
government" 1t adds: Senior Quesada
mas ofhclally communicated by cable with
the Cuban government"
The Nacion says: 'Bragg's statements
constitute a gratuitous offense and the
American government would do well to re-
call him.
The Republica Guiana says: "Bragg's
removal would be just measure he hav-
ing shown very little consideration for the
Cuban people"
1t adds: The American consul should re-
sign. The Cubans have not abandoned
Their good breeding and will not return the
onense received.
La Lucia says sarcastically: "Bragg's
letter is an example Of Yankee grace but
the circumstances are eXtenuating Senior
Quesada did well to remain outside of
The Post doubts whether Bragg said that
ncle Sam might well try to make a
whistle out of a pigs tail as anything out
or the Cubans, and adds: Bragg SAYS he
doesn't remember saying IL. This distin-
CUISINES Braggs case from the De LONE let
ter episode, where the American govern
ment demanded the Spanish minister's re-
call"
Inc Dlario, in an editorial, says: The
offence besides being grave, is also absurd,
because the impossibility Of making whis-
ties out of pigs tail would only occur to
IN American"
The most surprising feature of the matter
Is the way In which the letter was brought
TO light. The publication of a private let
ter. written to another member of the fami-
ly. is susceptible of only one possible ex-
PLANTATION. Mrs. Bragg did not want to
come to Cuba. and chose this indiscreet
method to make her husband persona non
grata- The letter Of De LONE FASTENED the
Spanish-American war. The effect OF
Braggs letter is doubtful.
1t is said in official circles here that while
the DE LONE incident is possibly different
American law undoubtedly forbids consuls
from corresponding with newspapers and
private persons regarding the affairs of the
government to which they are accredited.

MAY LOSE HIS OFFICE
POSSIBLE RESULT OF GENERAL
BRACES CRITICISMS.
The Matter Formally Called to the At
tention of Minister Squiers by Tho
Cuban Government.

The first official step has been taken in
In The case of Gen. Bragg. United States
consul general al Havana, and II is believed
that his unfortunate criticism Of the Cuban
people Will cost him his post. The State
department has heard from Mr.. Squiers,
our minister to Cuba. on this subject and
has also heard indirectly from Gen Bragg.
Ii is understood that the general takes the
ground that this is purely personal mat
ter, and that he is not therefore open to
oiflcial criticism; that he has right to say
anything he pleased in a personal letter TO
his wife, and no one had a right to question
her respecting the publication. Thus II is
gathered that the general does not either
ADMIT or deny the accuracy Of the quota
uon. AS the matter has been formally
called TO Mr.. Squiers' attention by the Gu
pan government, il is expected that this re-
ply from Gen. Bragg will be sent TO the
PRESIDENT, who appointed him, and who
must decide his fate

RUSKIN ON WOMEN AND WAR.

Mr.. Ruskin, at the close OF a
lecture on war, made the following
remarks to the ladies present:
.sOnly by your command, or by
your permission, can any war
take place among u.s., And the
real final reason for all the poverty,
misery, and rag of battle through
Europe is simply that you woaieh,
however self sacrificing for those
whom you love, are too selflslr-ailc'
too thoughtless to take pains f@
any creature out of your immediate
circles. Let every Christian
woman who has conscience toward
God VOW that she will mourn fol
His killed creatures. Let every
lady in the happy classes o.
civilized Europe simply vow tha
while any cruel war proceeds, sh'
will wear black-a mute's black

Marsh Reclamation.

Mr.. d. B. Byrum, representing
the Byrum Helmer land corporation,
arrived a few days ago from Cbica.
90, and went out from Berwick to
Possum Point where the expert
ments In land reclamation will be
made for bis company, under the
supervision OF Mr.. J. L. Baldwin.
The wells TO be bored will be very
small ones, and solely for expert
mental purpbses-but if anything IL
discovered worth mining for, 1t will
be gone after in The proper shape.
Mr.. Byrum is under the impression
mat there is oil under this portlon
Of Louisiana, and appears TO be
willing t. spend some money IN an
attempt to discover it. Note will
| also be taken in boring work OF the
distance from the surface that IL
necessary to be gone IN reaching q
supply of fresh water suitable for
use IN the reclamation and fresben-
ing of the marsh land tor caltiva-
ton.
| We certainly trust tue expen-
ment proves successful; Mr.. Byrum
has not the least doubt the land can
4 be drained and rendered fit for cul'
tivatiou. He says the character oi
marsh be has seen is greatly superior
10 the marshes around the mouth o.
the Mississippi where Northern
capitalists have begun the reclama
ton of lOOG,0 900 acres. Mr. By
, rum. plan will be to levee III lh

! system, Ly running the levee aroun
