CUBA ATTRACTS THE sPANiARDs

An examination of the Cuban CEN
sus of 1899 shows that out of total
population of 1.572,797 as many as ~
per cent of the inhabitants were born
in the island, per cent in Spain and
only 5 per cent in other places. OF
the natives SIS per cent were whites.
chiefly of Spanish origin. The color
ed population. including mixed races,
amounted to 32 per cent.
Additions by immigration have been
considerable since then, and they are
for the most part additions to the
majority of Spanish blood. In the
year ending June 30, 1903, the Span
lards comprised 10O31 out of a total
OF 1871. In the following year they
made up 1926 out of a total of 20
Pill During the same years the
American and Canadian immigration
which was next in size, amounted to
.12f and 1862. II was relatively
small and showed a relatively small
| increase.
As regards the employment of i'm
migrants, the statistics at hand are
very incomplete, but they are NOT
without interest. For a period of siN
months ending with March 81, 1903
the records secured indicate that the
Americans eQualed the Spaniards il
| the professions, but fell far below
them in the classes of artisans ant
| laborers.
OF course, the American influence
is not to be measured by the Ameri
| can population. II is not only strong
ly marked in the political institutions
and business 'of the republic but II
felt apparently to a considerable de
gree in the customs of the people
| One OF our government reports, il
speaking of the initiative characte
of the natives, says: If an Ameri
can settler puts up windmill or buy
an improved plow, market for thos'
things is at once created in his vicin
| ity" The American Intervention ma
tended to create higher standard o
living. "A ferment of new ideas a
to ways of doing things and ways o
existing has been spread among "a
common people"
AT the same time is must be grant
ed that the persistence of the Span
iards is remarkable and that racial.
there is likely to be little change il

MURDERED IN ARIZONA

John Alexander this morning re-
ceived paper from Globe. Ariz.. sent
by Mrs. Alexander's sister, Mrs. Rob
ert Pinyan, which tells OF the shock
ing murder of Sam s. Plunkett and
Edward Kennedy on Plunkett's ranch
near Livingstone, Ariz. Kennedy
was working for Plunkett and ii ap-
pears tnat the latter was attacked Dy
robbers while in bed at night and
Kennedy came from an adjoining
house TO his employers relief when
he, too. was killed Both men were
dubbed with an iron bar and slashed
with butcher knife. At last ac-
counts Indian trailers were following
a number OF trails and several par
arrested.
Mrs. Pinyan writes that Mrs. Plum

of July overland for Pennington, in
company with the family of G. Wal
ter Shute, a brother-in-law OF Plum.
kett. They were coming on visit
and had been gone from home two
weeks when the bodies of the mur-
dered men were found.
Mr.. Alexander was of the opinion
that Plunkett was former resident
of Durango, but was not certain.
Several old-timers had a faint recol-
lection of such man here. but in
quiry failed so far to accurately place
the man. 1t was said he was connect
ed with the families Of Elmer Fleisch-
er and Ben Mettler, but the name was
confused with John Lumpkin, who was
the former husband of Mrs Mettler.
The two families bound for Farming
ton should reach their destination
soon, unless they have heard of the
murder and turned back.

FALLING OFF IN WHEAT Ex-
pnRre

The bureau of statistics report OF
the export trade for the fiscal year
1905 shows some striking features
wheat and wheat -four in the year
were 43.797 900 bushels, which was
the smallest total since 1872. The
wheat exports were only third OF
those of 1904. and but fifth of those
of 1903. On the other hand, corn ex
ports, Ss,OOo,0oO bushels. were great
er in 1905 tnan in any previous year
since 1901. But in each of the years
from 1897 to 1901. both Included, the
corn exports were double as large as
in the 12 months which closed three
weeks ago.
Cotton expectation, however, in
1905 exceeded, in quantity and in val
ne, all previous years, the amount of
the shipments being 8,333,000 bales
and the value of them reaching $379,.
747,O00. This, of course, was largely
due TO that 13,500.000 bale crop. the
greatest ever gathered, which cut the
prices artifically set up by Sully and
the otner gamblers. This years cot
ton exports will necessarily be much
smaller than those for the year just
closed. The crop will be 100000 or
1000 900 bales under that of 1904, and
the prices will be higher The falling
on in wheat shipments more than off,
set the gains In corn and cotton. and
make the total agricultural exports
1851, ,755,O00 smaller in 1905 than in
any fiscal year since 1893.
In the item of wheat expectation
the United States is now left behind
by the Argentine Republic, Russia,
India and Australia. This means that
while our wneat crop is in general up
upward, it does not increase as rap
Idly as population. Less wheat can
be spared for expectation than a few
years ago. Wheat, nevertheless, is
prevented from rising to any material
extent in the world at large by the in
crease in the shipments from the 9th
er exporting countries. Europe is
eating as much wneat as ever, but II
is getting it from other countries
than the United States. Probably
this condition will continue. Here
after practically the whole of Amer
ica's wheat product will have to be
consumed at home.-Globe-D Democrat.
