Cambridge Won by Five Lengths

cambridge Won by Five Lengths
PUTNEY, England, March 22.-The
Cambridge crew today fulfilled the
expectations of the prophets and
won the fifty-ninth boat race with
Oxford as they liked. The time was
nineteen Minutes, nine seconds. At
no tins throughout the race did
Oxford in the slightest degree fat
ter the hopes Of the supporters OF
the dark blue. Any possible chance
which the Oxonians might have had
was shattered by the result OF the
toss, giving the light blues (Oam-

Immense crowds, as usual, turned
out to view the contest, and the
weather, though showery, was not 30

Rumors of Domestic Troubles

The rumors OF another dark and
fair alliance are not 30 rose. hued,
and all sorts OF things are whispered
in the letters coming from Honolulu.
1t seems pity that the Harry Mac.
farlanes' dream OF love could not
last. Some cay it is another case OF
half-caste blood cropping out where
least expected. In spite OF the de
malls OF Mrs. Dole, who but recently
became the bride OF General Dole
OF Honolulu, those who are close
connected with her declare she and
her husband have practically sepa-
rated There are various reasons
assigned for the domestic trouble.
One is said to be that the bride
found upon her arrival in Honolulu
the usual arpendages to an Ha-
waiian household and objected to
being confronted with 80 many Sc, m-
ingly little living likenesses OF her
bridegroom. Another sto:y is that
the Doles enlivened their bridal
passage across the Pacific with
wordy differences of opinion, the
husband objecting to his young
wife's high spirits on board ship.

The First Local Mint.

One OF the institutions here
which has the special attention of
tourists as well as the local people
is the Mint, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Queen
Emma Hall. 1t is interesting to
enter the large main working room,
where general manager McDonough
and his corps Of assistants are at
work. The cool and large lanai is o
proper resting place and the vaults,
where the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present a very tasty
spectacle. The Mint is open from
$3.50 $. m. to ll,80 p. m. and during
those hours the work never ceases.
Visitors after looking over the place
will find FIRST class refreshments and
the purest Of LIQUORS.

OUR ACCOUNT WITH CUBA.

1--WE owe nothing to Cuba" That is what is
now being said by gentlemen at Washington in
the intervals OF their energetic endeavOrS to
throttle, strangle and destroy the Cuban Re-
public. I'VE owe nothing TO Cuba. We are
under no obligations TO her. But her indebted
"ness TO us is incalcuable so that she ought
'to regard us with unmeasured gratitude no
matter what do or do not do" That is the
superficial and sophistical argument of the day,
with which gentlemen seek either to salve their
conscienceS or to whitewash their acts before
the public eye. 1t is in vain Nothing could
be more futile or more insncere than such an
effort to justify or to palliate the grave breach
of faith and honor which a factious and self
ish minority has imposed upon this nation
To expose the utter emptiness of it we have to
recall only two matters of undisputed record.
The one is the fact that our Intervention in
Cuba in 1898 was not at the request of Cuba.
II was done altogether upon our own volitiOn
Whatever benefit it was to Cuba was given by
us to Cuba without her asking That fact
should in decency forever debar us from harp
ing upon Cuba's debt to us that account
The second fact Of record is found in the
Platt amendment, which our Congress enacted
and imposed upon Cuba on March 3. 1901, and
which Cuba, solely because of our strenuous
dictation and on the strength of our assumed
good faith, accepted and added to her consti-
tuition on June II following That amendment
requires Cuba to confer upon the United States
some simply inestimable favors and exclusive
| privileges. 1t forbids Cuba to grant to any
other power a military or naval or coaling sta
ton or Judgement of any kind upon the island;
yet at the same time It binds her TO grant
such stations and Judgement to 1t forbids
her TO make with any other power any treaty
in any respect tending TO impair her indepen-
denee yet ii binds her TO make such treaty
With the United States. 1t gives, moreover, to
the United States the right TO intervene in Cuba.
not only for the protection Of the island from
foreign aggression, but also for the regulation
of its domestic concerns, and that not only at
the appeal of the Cuban Government, but at
| the will and pleasure of the United States Gov

TEE PARSONS BRIDGE PLAN.

AS the result of the Mayors appeal TO the
Ranid Transit Commission for aid in solving
the bridge problem, its chief engineer, Mr.. Par
sons has made what is undoubtedly the best
plan vet devised for improving the terminI
facilities Of the present structure. This plan,
in brief, calls for the lowering of the Manhat-
tan approach, so that instead OF having the
bridge trains come to Park Row high in the
air they will at that point be beneath the sur
face of the street. Thence a subway is TO be
constructed through Centre-st. and on to the
terminal of the Williamsburg Bridge, so that
complete subway loop will be made for the trains
crossing the two bridges. The surface trolley
tracks crossing the bridge are likewise to be
depressed and turned to the south in Park Row,
securing direct access to the rapid transit sub
way platforms in Printing House Square This
ARRANGEMENT will give close connection between
the subway trains and both systems of bridge
cars and likewise give connection at Grand-st
with the two East Side elevated lines, thus dis
tributing transfers over a wider area and reliev
ing the dangerous crush at the present terminal
Beside this plan the several schemes for grid
ironing the city with elevated railroads down
Park Row or up Centre-st. seem crude and
barbarOus. Mr.. Parsons avoids the insuperable
objection to the work of his predecessors. He
does not propose to disfgure the city. He would
rather add TO its beauty by tearing away the
structures which now extend across Park Row
and intrude upon City Hall Park. His plan
points ultimately to the construction of a second
Brooklyn tunnel, ending near Broadway and
Fulton-st., which would furnish a complete cir
cuit for the trolley cars turned south under
Park Row. 1t would also leave unoccupied
above the first story the land now used for the
bridge station. and the city could perhaps as
well occupy that land for Office building as
buy other real estate In the neghborhood. Mr.
Parsons has considered the engineering prob
lens involved in what at first sight seems a
startling change in the bridge approach, and
says that the necessary depression can be made
with feasible grades and without closing any
streets under the bridge except North William.
and outlet for its traffic easily be opened
His estimate for the subway work, apart from
changes on the bridge proper, is S2.7500O0
The cost Of the bridge changes is not yet esti.

TILE NEW PARK.

Seldom if ever, has public pleasure ground
been brought into toleraby complete existence
as expeditiously as was the new Seaside Park,
on Coney Island, which yesterday was formally
opened TO the public. 1t seems only few days,
and in fact ii is not many weeks, since ii was
unimproved waste of sand and stunted
grass. On a Sunday there would be a baseball
game in one part of il and religious missionary
meeting in another while superannuated horses
and vagrant goats and dogs roamed about at
will. Usually it was deserted by day and
Stunned by honest folk at night. Without shade
and without adornment of any kind it was as
unattractive a bit of sand barrens one could
find. Yet now it is really thing of beauty,
henceforth TO be enjoyed by tens Of thousands.
A little money, little energy and enterprise
these are all that have been needed TO effect the
transformation. On the whole. it is an uncom-
monty good job.
1t is to be hoped that the expedition with
which this work has been thus far accomplished
will be followed up with a persistence which
will make the work permanent and will enlarge
It TO its fullest extent. For there is a great
deal more yet to be done to make the ocean
frontage OF the city what ii should be. The
condition of the beach between the new park
and the ocean cries loudly for improvement
AS for the beach east of the park. its state is
simply unspeakable Nor is the great Ocean
Parkway itself in an altogether satisfactory
state. long stretch of the roadway is In vile
condition, alternating between dust and mud
fetlock deep. 1t will be happy day for drivers
when 1t Is macadamized from end TO end. That
would mean the abolition of the present Speed
way, which occupies more than a mile of the
parkway, and which it is proposed to extend
for another mile. But such abolition ought to
nd SC
positively unsafe to have racing on a public
road as crowded with all sorts OF pleasure We
hicles as the parkway now Is 1t would be an
intolerable hardship to exclude the general pub
lie from that public road. Doubtless Brooklyn
needs a speedway. 1t ought TO have one. But
It should have one like that in Manhattan, used
exclusively for speeding purposes, and without
other streets crossing it at grade. The Ocean
Parkway is properly a parkway, not race
course.
The ideal, which we hope one day 10 sec re-
allied, is that of broad. unobstructcd and per-
fectly appointed parkway, extending from the
unsurpassed beauties of Prospect PARK to
comparably beautiful park, shore driveway and
we'll cared for beach OH COnCy Island There
are few great cities in the world with direct
ocean frontage. There is not one with such n
frontage of possibilities as fine as those Of New
Yorks. Those possibilities should he developed
and realized, and we may hope that ;he opening
of this new park will prove to De long ana
permanent step in that direction.

FRUITS FROM THE SOUTH.

Thin. palid, almost microscopic peaches are
now for sale on the street stands. In so hyper
borean June and July this luscious summer
fruit is sour and small. Meanwhile the En-
pire State of the South. sunny Georgia. is likely
to take long lead with gigantic strides far in
advance of every other commonwealth in the
Union in the production of peaches and water
melons for shipment to the North.
New-York and New-England formerly made
heavier demands for peaches upon Delaware
and Maryland than upon any other States. But
Georgia has gone to the front, and with her
spacious territory, largely in excess of the area
of Maryland and Delaware put together she is
likely to leave the two Chesapeake Bay States
hopelessly distanced in the rivalry in raising
peaches and melons for shipment TO the chief
centres of consumption and distribution above
Philadelphia.
The soil. climate and plantation methods of
Georgia can hardly be surpassed in any part of
this republic for the raising of luscious peaches
and watermeons, and the facilities for trans
portaton to Northern markets have been vastly
improved in recent years. 1t may be that in
future generations some of the huge counties in
the enormous plains of Texas may be found TO
be suitable for melon fields and peach Or
chards that Georgia may be thrust aside by the
Lone Star State from her pride Of place as the
principal source Of supply for the North; but
for many a season to come Georgia will defy
competition among its rivals below Mason and
Dixon's Line in sending American fruits to
New-York. Georgia peaches and Georgia melons
are always welcome; but fruits from the Pacific
New-York tribune., 1902-07-02

The structures capacity is already taxed to the
limit, and lengthening and enIarging the large
end Of the funnel will not make possible the
passage OF more people through the small end
Such enlargement would, however mitigate the
dangerous and indecent crowding at the termi-
nal, and it would help 10 unity the boroughs by
providing close connections with Manhattan
lines and doing away with the stair climbing
and long walks now required. Whether this
relief is of enough benefit to warrant the ex-
penditure is question to be considered. 1t
may be thought by some that the same amount
of money used at once for the construction of
another tunnel near the bridge would in about
the same period of time afford equal relief to
the bridge terminal by doubling traffic facilities
and not merely making loading and unloading
easier. In case the work is undertaken 1t Will
be necessary to take precautions to secure an
adequate return to the city. Doubtless the
corporation now enjoying the use Of the bridge
for an inadequate rental would like to have
additional facilities provided at the city's ex-
pense, which it would consent to use as a favor
TO the public. New terminals should, however,
be the excuse for a new contract by which the
city should secure proper compensation for the
use of the bridge and its appended subways.
These and other questions connected with the
proposed improvement will demand careful
thought and the Mayor has left the door open
for this by asking the Rapid Transit Commits
sion to fix a future day for full consideration of
the project. Meanwhile it should receive public
attention. AS engineering device it will GER
tainly meet with favor Its superiority over the
elevated schemes hitherto proposed justities the
wisdom Of invoking the aid Of the Rapid Tran
sit Commission and treating the bridge question
as part of the great rapid transit problem, the
solution of which requires the harmonizing of
all the traffic lines of the city

eminent and without regard to Cuban wishes.
Are these stipulations of no value or Importance
to us? If so, why were we so resolute in de-
manding their adoption? If they are of vast
value with what grace can we deny quid pro
quo and declare that owe Cuba no considera-
ton?
There is something more in that amendment.
Its second paragraph forbids Cuba to incur any
public debt for the service Of which her Ordi-
nary revenues shall be inadequate. That is
wise and proper. But surely the implied
coroIlary must be that we are bound to give
Cuba a fair chance TO secure an income ade-
quate to her needs. To throttle Cuban indus
try and commerce until her income is too small
10 pay her running expenses, and then to forbid
her to borrow anything to cover the deficit is
simply to forbid her to grow rich and at the
same time to curse her for being poor. Again,
the fifth paragraph of the amendment requires
Cuba to maintain and to extend the system of
sanitation which we have established in the
island. That, too is wise and proper. But TO
do such things takes money. 1t is gross injus-
tice for US to demand of Cuba that she shall
spend large sums for our especial beneft-to wit,
to protect the United States from epidemics-
and at the same time to deny her the financial
means for so doing. There was a government
once that required the making of bricks with
out straw. But that is another story, and one
which we do not think the United States wishes
to duplicate. This. however, is indisputable
that if require Cuba to make bricks for us
we are under an inevitable obligation to her to
supply her with straw, at least to give her
freedom to gather 1t.
Beyond all this we have only to ask our
selves, or the Cubans. or any intelligent third
party, what was the implied-yes, and the ex-
pressed-understanding at the time of the adop-
tion of the Platt amendment, and by what as
surances was the Cuban Constitutional Conven-
ton prevailed upon to accept that instrument?
Or let us ask what would have been the result
If at that time this country had told Cuba that
in return for the special privileges and favors
which were to be conveyed to us by that amend
ment she need expect no reciprocity nor other
favor of any kind from us? Is there man
outside of Bedlam who supposes there would
have been a single Cuban vote in favor of that
amendment? On the contrary, there would not
have been a Cuban worthy of the name who
would not have been ready and as resolute
to resist the imposition of that amendment as
Gomez and Maceo had been to resist the
tyranny of SPAIN and the Cubans would have
been right in refusing to accept il. II was then,
if ever. it was before June L. 1902 that gentle
men should have proclaimed that I'VE owe moth
ing to Cuba Since that date such statement
is fiat repudiaton.
