GIVES CUBA HIGH PRAISE
British Minister says Islahders' En-
erEy is Rapidly bringing New
Republic Forward.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia striking pic
ture Of the development OF Cuba since the
Spanish war is presented in report by
Lionel Garden, the British minister TO
Havana, copy of which has Just reached
Washington
The minister says:
1t is highly satisfactory 10 note the re-
markable progress the island has made in
the last three years I'm spite Of the de-
plorable condition in which II was left at
the end OF the war.
Tho production Of sugar has -isen from
$4,000 tons I'm 1899 to over 500 900 tons in 1901,
and probably will reach iO00OOo tons this
year. The cultivation and manufacture Of
show conside Bile Improvement. The stock
of cattle on the island thanks TO the large
importations is now probably upward OF
10000, as compared with less than 800. 600 {
the beginning Of 1899. and. finally. the value
Of the exports has increased from SO 260. 900
to f12 650,O 600 and would have reached a
much higher figure but for the fall I'm the
price of sugar.
In considering how little financial assist
ance the Cubans have received from
abroad, II speaks highly for their energy
and industry that they should have
achieved so much in so short a time and
with such limited resources at their COM
mRnd.
The report is full Of advice to English
traders as to the best means OF meeting
American competition and holding the
Cuban trade, which is being taken rapidly
from them by the United States.

CABINET GIVES APPROVAL
Secretary Informs Members as to
Venezuelan situation and Ac-
tiOn Taken by Him.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-secretary Hay
laid before the cabinet the latest phases Of
the Venezuelan situation as shown by the
correspondence he had had with our am
bsssadors and the foreign officers at London,
Berlin and Rome and also acquainted the
members with the circumstances OF the ex-
changes which had taken place with the
ambassadors in Washington.
After a thorough discussion OF the ques-
tioL the cabinet gave it's unqualified ap-
proval to everything that has been done
by Secretary Hay and also to his plans for
the future so far as they were outlined
1t is gathered that the attitude of the
United States is a waiting one, in the hope
that the allies will soon be able to agree
on the basis upon which they are willing
to accept arbitration.
It was stated that while the Venezuelan
situation was realized to be important the
subject did not engross the entire atten-
tion Of the cabinet. So far no notice of the
projected blockade of Venezuela has been
oficially served on our government.

SHOOTS ANARCHIST TEACHER
Philadelphia Youth Kills Woman AEi-
tator who Broke His
Heart.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-voltairine lie
Cleyre, a noted anarchist and teacher Of
languages. was shot and fatally wounded
by Herman Helscher, a former pupil, today.
The woman is dying in a hospital and
Helscher is in custody. Unrequited love IL
said to have promoted the deed.
When arrested Helscher's only explana-
tion was: I'VE were sweethearts, she and
/. She broke my heart and deserved to be
killed"
Miss lie Cleyre was standing at a street
corner awaiting car. Helscher, who had
disguised himself by means Of false nous
tauche. approached her from the rear and
accosted her. Almost at the same moment
he drew revolver from his pocket and
pointed 1t at her. She turned and at
tempted to run away but had gone only
few steps when Helscher began firing
upon her. After discharging FIVE shots,
three of which took effect, he replaced the
pistol in his pocket and started to walk
away. He made no effort to escape and
was Immediately arrested.
Miss lie Cleyre ran a short distance and
then sank, exhausted, upon a doorstep.
To a magistrate afterwards she denied
acquaintance with Helscher, but when he
was brought before her minus the false
moustache she at once recognized him.
She declined, however. to accuse him OF
having shot her. but asked the police II
he had admitted 1t. Neither would she
state the nature of her relations with
Helscher.
Two bullets took effect in the woman's
right side below the shoulder and another
embedded itself in the right side Of the
chest. The physicians held out no hope for
her recovery.
Miss lie Cleyre has attained widespread
notoriety through her anarchistic utter
ances and intimacy with Emma Goldman
and other anarchists. She is an accom-
plished linguist and musician, and has
written much anarchistic literature and
many erotic poems.

COAL FREIeHTs TOO HIGH
House Committee Considers suspen-
sion of Coastysise Naviga-
tiOn Laws.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-Ths house COM
mittee on merchant marine- and fisheries
today considered the McCuE resolution 20
suspend the coastwise navigation laws, so
as to permit foreign ships to carry coal
from one point to another on the coast.
1t was stated that an extortionate rate
Of freight is being charged for the trans
portation OF coal from shipping ports to
market ports, and that in Boston the lack
OF facilities to unload coal as rapidly as 1t
arrives is the greatest obstacle to dstri-
button. At one time within a week fifteen
schooners laden with coal were waiting to
be discharged.
The committee postponed further con-
sideration until after the holidays.
II the resolution should be finally passed
II would be in the interest OF a reduction
OF freight rather than because OF any scar
city of tonnage.
