THE ELECTION IN CUBA.
Tomas Estrada Palma Is Chosen as
the First President of the
New Republic.
WILL HAVE ENTIRE ELECTORAL VOTE.
Remarkably Light Vote Was PolIed
Throughout the Islnnd-The New
Executive Outlines His Aims and
Desires for the Future-His Vic
tory u Complete One.

Havana, Jan. 2.-The indications are
that the entire Palma ticket is elected
and that Tomas Estrada Palma, the
nationalist candidate for the presi-
dency of Cuba, will receive the unan-
imous vote of the electoral college.
The adherents of Gen. Bartolome Maso
(the democratic candidate who recent
ly withdrew from the campaign) not
only withdrew their candidates, but
refused to go to the polls. A remark
ably light vote was polled throughout
the island. La Discussion describes
this Indifference to the certainty on
the part of the Palmaists of being vic
torious, and that consequently the ma
jority of them remained at home and
did not vote. La Lucia says that this
light vote can be tallen.as protest
from the Cuban people against the inn
position of official candidates. The
Diario de la Marina says that the re-
suit is an indication that the Cuban
democracy may look upon American
policy as inevitable.
Mr.. Palma Interviewed
New York. Jan. 2.-Tomas Estrada
Palma, in his home at Central Valley,
N. Y, has received the news that his
election to the presidency of the re-
public of Cuba was conceded. He an
nounced that the new Cuba would be
of work and high endeavor, that it
would be his aim to strengthen the
friendly relations between his coun-
try and the United States and to bring
about reciprocity. He said:
ut shall be my aim to strengthen the
friendly feeling which exists between
Cuba and the United States. The people
of the United States and of Cuba will
understand each other better, and from
that understanding will come reciprocity.
A low duty on sugar and tobacco in re-
turn for low duties on machinery and
fabrics would be to the advantage of
both countries. There must come in
Cuba a period of reconstruction. The
material resources of the island must be
developed Cuba has had enough of pol
tiles She will go to work. Before the
war Cuba produced annually 900
tons of sugar. Once the cultivation of
sugar and tobacco is placed on profit
| able basis Cuba could turn her attention
to the cultivation of other things which
flourish in her climate. Hemp, for in
stance, could be produced in large guam
titles. and after awhile could be manu-
featured. Many kinds of fruits could be
raised in Cuba to advantage Cuba has
mineral resources. yet she is above
everything else an agricultural country
She must depend upon the United States
| for manufactured products"
Senior Palma said that owing to the
settling up of his affairs in this coun-
TRY he did not think he would be ready
to go to Cuba before next April.

Captain Shows Heroism.
The crash was fearful. There was a
brisk breeze blowing and the bark
doomed out of the mist with full sail
set, going probably at IL to IA knots.
1t struck the Walla Walla bow on just
abaft the bow with such force as to
completely stave in that portion of the
steamer. The steerage quarters were
the most severely injured, and it is
among these passengers that the loss
of life will be the greatest. Capt.
Hall showed marked heroism in go
ing down to that portion of the steam

which they had been pinned by broken

A Coy Corner on the Piazza.

The best arrangement may be made
in the corner of a rooted piazza. Have
a box seat built here. 1t should be six
teen or seventeen inches high, twenty
inches wide, and as long as the place
will allow. In this place may be kept
rugs, cushions, pillows, etc, secured
with a lock- Screen the corner with
curtains that can be rolled up, or
drawn with ease. Cotton duck, such
as sails are made from, is the best to
protect against strong or cold winds,
but bamboo makes the lightest and
most artistic screen.-Maria Parloa, in
