stand was torn from it's moorings and
sent careening across the water
Several members of E,l1ery's Royal
Italian band were in the structure at
the time, preparing for the evening"
concert which did not take place. They
were swept with the band stand a mile
across the lake to the opposite shore

pieces on the pilings On the way over

inclination to play cover the Bounding

The BOXERS alias the insurgents, -
are being COMPOUNDED and cast down by
Cuban developments even more rapidly
than was expected.
First. their obstruction of the 1egisla-
ton demanded for the relief of Cuba
caused the price of sugar in that island
to fall to e-10ths of a cent a pound,
whereas 1t was "a cents year ago. Re-
suit: A tremendous windfall for the
sugar trust, a fortune presented to it.
The American consumer is not paying
any less for the Cuban sugar he buys
from the trust, but the trust. is paying
about a cent and a quarter less for it
than it did a year ago.
Now comes the news that the Cuban
congress, reduced to desperation by the
falling off in customs receipts since the
American congress refused to do justice
on some days the receipts at Havana
used to be $4,000; now, on some days
they are as low as $5,0O0-has slapped
on tremendous increase in duties,
chiefly affecting American imports.
There may be some vindictiveness in
this, but the American imports are the
largest and comprise the bulk of the
islands necessary imports and are
therefore the best commodities at which
to aim revenue producing law.
For the alleged purpose of fostering
the beet sugar industry, which is scarce
ly more important than that of raising
lettuce, asparagus or spinach, and is
much inferior to the strawberry, rasp-
berry and cantaloupe industries, the in
surgents have prevented an admirable
application of the reciprocity idea and
have, in the chain of events, struck a
hard blow at American agricultural in
terests
The new Cuban tariff affects thirty

can farms.
The Cubans are suffering. our farmers
are to suffer; and Mr.. Oxnard, who is
primarily responsible for the delusion
OF the insurgents, is enjoying himself
at the Brighton Beach race tracks.
On the other hand If congress had
granted Cuba a reasonable degree OF
reciprocity Cuba would be buying more

Washington, Feb. 14.-Adjutant
General Corbin today made public
the report of the army board of
which General Macarthur was presi-
dent, appointed some time ago to con-
slider and report the names of Off
GERS and enlisted men of the army
who distinguished themselves during
the recent campaigns in Cuba, China
and the Philippines, so as to entitle
them to the award either of medals
of honor or certificates of merit.
With the exception that Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt be given the brevet
rank of brigadier general for mer-
itorous services at the battle of San
Juan hill, they have been recon-
mended by President Roosevelt. Mu-
sician Calvin P. Titus, who was the

he will do all in his power to protect
the foreigners, as he has already
done.
A special to the Post from Silver
ton today says: Of the fifty Chinese
who resided in Silverton ten days
ago, twenty-five remain. The re-
naming twenty-five, it is believed,
will depart within the next week or
so. When the last Chinaman leaves
the ban against the yellow man will
be strictly enforced, and hereafter no
Mongolians will be allowed in this
district
The hegira of the past ten days is
due to the boycott declared two
weeks ago by the union laboring men
of Silverton, including the Miners
union, the Federal Labor union and
the Cooks and Walters union. These
unions declared against patronizing
either Chinese restaurants or laun
dries, and their proprietors were
quietly informed that they could not
remain here.
The Chinese are not being hurried
in their departure, but it is generally
understood that they must leave this
community within a reasonable time
Before the boycott was ordered there
were from six to eight Chinese res
taurants and about a dozen laun
dries. Now there are only two res
taurants conducted by Chinese and
the number of laundries has been re-
duced materially. No, violence has
been attempted against the Chinese
so far.
