The San Bias Indians.
on BOARD U. s. S.EPRAIRIE,
GUANTANAMO BAY. CUBA,
My 5, 1904.

/ HI sax sstho hhNAtshsHs
on BOARD U. s. S.sPRAIRIE,
| GUANTANAMO BAY. CUBA,
My 5, 1904,
1 To the Editor Of the american;
while in Colon some three months ago /
gathered few facts about the new repue-
lie and its people which may be OF interest
to my friends and the readers OF THE
AMERICAN.
THIS San Bias Indians are perhaps the
most interesting race ON the Isthmus.
| They live a short distance east OF Porto
Belle, their customs are ancient, and
toward strangers they are naughty and
very digEihed.
One OF their greatest boasts Is that no
mixed blood courses in the veins OF one OF
their tribe.
Their villages are small, and each has its
chief, who is subject to the Cacique, or
head OF the hole tribe Each chief has
his priest, teacher aud physician.
The most interesting custom OF this
peculiar race Is their marriage laws which
have been followed for years. When a
young brave seeks a wife he visits the
parents of the one he chooses and makes
known his desire. The parents, II Satisfied
With the young man, put the daughter In
a cave where she has to remain six days.
During this time the brave has to build the
boat in which to take his bride home.
This Is no easy task as boats In this
country have to be dug out OF a solid log.
Should he be successful, the girl Is re-
leased, they are married and there is much
singing, dancing, drinking of Guarra and
smoking OF Chicks. In case he fails to
complete his "dug- out" be forfeits his
claim.
From the tine OF their marriage until
the first child Is born they are under the
parents rule. but afterwards they are free
to go and do as they please. They are
allowed to build their bamboo huts any
where in the San Bias country.
In case OF war should they lose, every
man Is under oath to kill bis entire family.
When trader visits their country he is
treated with respect, bat should be be
caught IN any town after shutdown he is
shot. This is their custom and at sun
down all visitors are given warning to
leave.
They are hard working, prosperous
race, snd II no one bothers them they
bother no one. o. A. +.

And now the postoffice inspectors
themselves are to be inspected, and
their methods brought to the light o!
publicity. The President has desig-
mated Assistant Attorney General
Robb to do this delicate job. 1t is sur
missed that possibly the chief inspec-
tor and his men have made some mis-
takes. The President Is anxious tina,
no injustice shall be done to any one
at the same time he purposes that no
guilty man shall escape. Mr.. Robb Is
not expected to unearth any scandals,
but possibly he may discover that
there has been an exercise OF bad
Judgment.

The New Addition to the Commercial Hotel
 Now Finished Something Fine.

For the past year the Commercial hotel of this city has been under the efficient management of Mir. and Mrs. Lyman N. Tolfree, and during that time the fact was fully demonstrated that the building was too small to ac- commodate the patronage accorded Mir. and Mrs. Tolfree.
 Seeing the condition of affairs, and also having good business judgment, the owner of the property, Mir ]. J. Donahue, set about to overcome this difficulty, which he did by having builded an addition forty feet in width and same heighth as the original building, and extending back to the alley. This addition gives the hotel seventeen additional rooms, single and en suite, besides additional lava tories, bath rooms, etc.
 Of these seventeen rooms, four have elegant new bath room connections, while all the rooms have hot and cold water connections and will have the latest steam heat fixtures. A large hallway runs the full length of the ad- dition, having extra light and ventila- ton from large skylight about mid way of the building.
 The furnishings of the rooms are elegant, all new and the finest to be had. In addition to the sleeping apartments, the lower floor will give added kitchen and dining room facili- ties. There will be private dining room for parties, reached by a pri- vate stairway in the rear. There will also be two large new sample rooms for the accommodation of the travel ing salesmen.
 Mir. Donahue is to be commended on his business enterprise in making the needed improvement, and if the past is criterion, the future of this excellent hostlery is assured. as long as in charge of Mir. Tolfree and wife.
