The Sugar Growers and Cattle Rails
ers\Win BE Beneaited
Thereby.

New York, June 12.-President Palma
and his cabinet have decided on a plan
which they hope will relieve the economic
situation; in the country says a Havana
dispatch tothe Tribune. A message will
be sent to congress, probably next week,
for that body to pass upon, which sets
forth the recommendations of President
Palma and the secretary of agriculture
for the ameliorationl of the condition OF
affairs. This measrre calls for the ex-
penditure of $S,500,00o to be distributed
among the sugar growers and cattle
raisers Three millions is to be advanced
to sugar planters at the rate Of SO cents
an arroba, or twenty-five pounds; to be
returned In two installments in February
and March. To cattle breeders will be
paid premium Of So for each COW i'm
ported for breeding purposes up to 100 900.
Further than this, all such cattle will be
admitted free of duty. ~: s9.sss
- There also is to be an increased tariff
on n any articles imported now under
small duties to raise the money to beEdis-
tributed. An internal loan, secured. by
bonds, will be necessary. President
Palma in discussing the matter saids y.
We are afraid tho United States senate Will
not act on the reciprocity question at this
session. and Cuba needs immediate help.
There are thousands of men idle and the con-
.dttions are bad. We must take some steps
to save the sugar industry and stimulate the
cattle industry, which we hope to bring back
to its former prosperous condition.
The loan will be taken up in two years.
We have worked day and night In the last
month to improve the prevailing conditions.
Sugar growers-can secure no money from the
banks for the coming crop, so that the gov
ernment Is compelled to come to their res
cue by loaning them enoughfto raise next
seasons cane. Il

Story of Lewanika Ebony King of the Barotsi

London, June 21.-King Lewanika, the
only monarch, besides Edward VII. him
self, who will be present at the coming
coronation, as the most picturesque thing
in the king line that has been seen in
England in years. His majesty is as
black as India rubber, and he rules over
the Barotsi, formerly one of the most
warlike tribes in Africa, who live on the
banks of the Zambesi. The king, who~is
q man of 40, cast off his native dress of
lion skins some time ago and now al
ternates Between a tweed and flannel
suit, and wears a derby hat. He stayed in
London only one day, and then went out
to pay visit to his friend, Colonel Hard
Ing, who has a country residence at Mars
ton, in Dorsetshire.
The, whole country has been much in
Eterested in the ebony king. 1t was
edited to learn that he went to church on
Sunday and won the hearts of many of the
VILLAGERS who hadn't been captivated al
ready by dropping the English equivalent
of a IS bill into the plate. He will not
consent to pose before the camera, which
he says looks too much like something
that might go off by accident, but that
doesn't mean that he fights shy of novel
ties, for since his arrival he has been
playing ping-pong every evening and
likes it. He rides on horseback, too, and
takes a special interest in English cows
which he sees. in his own land he has
tcattle by the thousand. The only thing
that worries the king at all is the natural
curiosity that he excites among the viii
1 'lage folk. ~. ..s
1. If Lewanika is as Intelligent as he
seems to Fbe, he must have been struck
by the difference between the quiet days
that he is passing now In that out-of-the-
way little English village and the weeks
The Minneapolis journal., 1902-06-21

of hand to- hand fighting in the jungle
that he has gone through. when his tribe
was on. the warpath. Years ago his gpeo-
pie, the Barotsi. were conquered by the
fierce ABasutos, who had been 2ed driven
northward by the white men and who
fought their way into the interior, putting
to rout every tribe that, dared to oppose
them. Sebatsane was the name of the
Basutos' king, who, after pacifying the
Barotsi, proceeded to-: rule over them.
For awhile the conquered tribe proved
restive, but after awhile Sebatsane made
himself popular with them and SO did =his
son, Sekelotu; who came after him. The
Barotsi adopted the Basuto language and
habits and would have gotten to be Be-
suto completely if 1T had not happened
that the next king proved to be a blood
thirsty tyrant who domineered over the
conquered race so brutally that they rose
In rebellion. Lewanika led them. They
got the surrounding tribes, to join them
in one Of the most savage wars that Africa
has seen, and completely overthrow the
Basuto dominion, after which the Barosti
champion ascended the throne.
p He has proved pretty good sort OF
king. He ruled his people Justly and
when the missionaries came to him he; did
all he could to help them to guide the
festive Barotsi into the straight and mar
row way. He gave up drink He con
sented to frown on theft 8 and the slave
! trade, and even to prohibit the Barotsi
custom Of offering up a human sacrifice
generally a witch doctor-at regular in
| tervals In fact he was willing to do any
| thing that the religious workers wanted
him to do except give up his twelve lit
tie wives 49,
The king and his people came under the
protection Of Great Britain by their owr
wish. ~
