and thought All his qualities now are called
into play. The President has Cabinet COM
posed of six members Public opinion is
drifting toward the conviction that some of
these departments. or Cabinet portfolios. might
be consolidated. Another current of public opin-
ion wants the creation of new Cabinet position

this department is lacking in the first Cuban
administratio and the Congress is divided
about creating it.

Havana, June 2S-cuban independent gov

rlenary function. The processes are interesting
and instructive. Opinions which may be formed
of the experiment are not likely t. oe concIu-
sive, because of the deplorable industrial con-
ditions in which the United States has left the
new republic. Briefly because of the failure
of reciprocity legislation Cuba is not having
fair chance. and judgment of her efforts must
be modified by that knowledge.
Yet the experiment is fairly under way and
notwithstanding the difficulties of falling reve-
nues and lack of market for Cuban products,
which were forced upon President Palmas ad-
ministration at the outset. some observations
may be made of the processes of new Latin
republic in plenary function, with its three CO.
ordinate branches of the judiciary, the execu-
tive and the legislative powers.
The Judiciary may be disposed of in a para

presses the behoder with the idea that it is the
natural abiding place Of the solitary; but night
when its beacon lights flash over the waters and

and a nearer view of this region will reveal
combination of varied and alluring beauty seldom
found in such close proximity the crowded

mingled loneliness of highland and lowland creek

but even then it has 10 be largely reduced from
the American standard The Cubans are sensi-
tive in this matter, and are very much afraid
that in reducing their school appropriations
they will be subjected to criticism in the United
States. Greater criticism should be visited upon
them if they did not make some reduction until
the American markets are opened for Cuban
sugar and a chance given to secure some degree
of general prosperity for the island.
One feature of the executive administration is
meeting with criticism This is not policy
but practice. President Palma is told that he
is holding too many Cabinet councils. and that
a little more Capitalization in administration is
desirable Regular Cabinet meetings are held
three afternoons week. Usually they last from
four to five hours. Then there are special meet
ings. sometimes in the morning and sometimes
at night With much time taken up in gen.
eral consultation it is clear that neither the
President. nor the individual members of his
Cabinet can give their personal attention to
routine administrative work The reason stated
for these frequent Cabinet meetings is the neces-
sity of full interchange of opinions. and OF the
agreement on lines of policy. But il is becom-
ing settled conviction the part OF the
Cuban public that better results would be had
if the Cabinet members gave more attention to
their respective departments. and INDUCED less

YACHTS AT KEEL.
INTEREST IN THE ICING IN
WHICH KALSER'S NEW
CRAFT WAS BEA TEN.
MANY AMERICAN PLEASURE VESSELS
IN THE BALTIC-THE CLUBHOUSE
AND ANNUAL BANQUET

The annual dinner of the Imperial Yacht Club
took place at the clubhouse, at KEEL last Monday
Kiel is beautifully situated, in a fine bay of the
Baltic Sea, about fifty-three miles from Hamburg
There are many manufacturing establishments in
the place. and two miles north of the city is the
canal. TO the opening Of which the United States
sent a representative few years ago There is
also navy yard at Kiel and a large foundry oper-
ated by the German Government One of the most
notable buildings in the place is the "Schoss'' the
home Of Prince Henry of Prussia
But probably none Of these places are of as much
importance at this time to the visitor at el as is
the yacht club There the Kaiser presides at the
annual dinner, and there yachtsmen from near and
far make their headquarters in regatta time
The clubhouse was gift to the yachtsmen from
the iron king, Herr krupp, of Essen, who has the
title Prince Counsellor of Commerce The house
was formally opened just before the regatta week
Of 1900 and there on June Z of the same year the
Emperor celebrated the launching of the powerful
battleship Zaringen, which the Grand Duke of
Baden named. Before the new clubhouse had been
built the yacht club had its meetings both busi-
ness and social. in the basement of the Naval
Academy. The belongings OF the club did not have
10 be transported far when the old home was
abandoned for the new, because the Nelson fac
tory" as the Naval Academy is often called in
Germany, is only about three minutes walk from
the new building. The clubhouse was originally a
hotel and restaurant, to which new story and a
large wing were added. The addition contains the
administration department of the Imperial Yacht
Club and Of the North German Regatta Associa-
ton.
The committee rooms, reading, writing and as
sembIy in the original building, and
these all beautifully decorated and tastefully
furnished. and from the verandas which overlook
the water there is a fine view far out upon the
ocean. A large suite is reserved for the Emperor.
On the first main floor there is a large hand
so1nely appointed apartment where all important
festivities take place landing stage extends
along the waterfront of the club and the

honesty of postal clerks gentleman made an ex-

which in its result is pleasant think about,
says The Detroit Free Press.
He pasted OF side of silver dollar bit of
paper on which he wrote his daughters address
On the other side he put one-cent stamp. sending
the dollar at merchandise rates.
The experiment was the result Of dispute with
of the safety of the United States mails and
warned him that that was the last he would hear
of his money.
Two days later the man received a letter from
his daughter acknowledging the receipt OF the dol

Cabinet meetings up to this time have been
taken up chiefly with relief measures for the
country. Some of these have been formulated
and are before Congress. One relates to the
encOurag cement Of the cattle industry by lower
ing the tariff rates on imported cattle. and by
other processes of state aid Another project is
To help the sugar planters by means not ex-
actly of bounty. but rather OF compensa-
ton for their losses. The criticism of this plan
is that is presumes that Cuba has plenty OF
money in the treasury whereas there is none
except for current expenses. The difference
between a surplus and a deficit already is wor-
rying the Cuban statesmen.
Just how far Congress will go in approv'nr
these proposed measures of government relief
one. yet there is strong desire to afford some
relief to the depressed industries. and Presi-
dent Palma's recommendations will have weight
