TYRANNY IN CUBA
SAYS GENERAL GOMEZ

NEW YORK.-"Liberty is dead in
Cuba and the condition of affairs there
is worse than it ever was under Span
ish rule, even in the most ferocious
periods of the Weyler government.
Financial ruin and dihonor facing the
people. If things continue as they are
the nation will be converted into one
of heritary rule"
This declaration was made here by
General Jose Miguel Gomez, governor
of Santa Clara, candidate of the Lib
eral party for the presidency of Cuba.
Il am here to rest several days and
to breathe the air of liberty that is
lacking in my own country, and for
which | have fought so long.
ION false charges the government
assassinates the Liberals, the jails are
filled with political prisoners and
we have no hope of Justice from
judges and magistrates who recognize
no law except the will of the govern
ment. We are hindered in casting our
votes and Cuba is now suffering a
reign of terror never equaled under
Spanish tyranny. 1t was such things
as these that made us with draw from
the elections. Public funds are used
for electoral purposes. The sanitary
condition of the island is a disgrace
The Cuban government has employed
thousands of men in the sanitary de-
partment, but for voting, not for work
ing purposes. The mayor of HAVANA
has been deprived of his office against
the law and the whole city council has
been dismissed because they were Lib
erals"

WHY THE JAPANESE
GAVE UP THE FIGHT

TOKIO.-Notwithst the ST.
lence of the government, the real
fact is disclosed that Japan made
peace at Portsmouth in fear of a
financial breakdown. The war prov.
ed more costly than had been calcu-
lated and the rice and cereal crops
seemed doomed to failure Instead
of sunlight and warmth during the
month of August, when the crops
ripen, there was continuous rain
and exceedingly cold weather.
While some improvement may still
be in store, it is certain that the rice
crop promises to be from Is to 20
per cent below the average condi-
ton, far below last years crop when
it was marvelously large. Six months
more of war would have meant very
hard times, for the masses of the
people are very poor and rice is
bread and meat to them.

QUITTING Strong Drink for Beer.

WASHINGTON,--A chemist OF the
department of agriculture who has
lately returned from Paris, says that
the Parislans are abandoning their
old and time tried drink, absinthe,
for American and German made beer.
In some of the French provinces beer
Is taking the place of wine. The
chemist say beer promises to assume
the same position in France as 1t now
possesses in Germany.

A SHARP TRICK
A SUBSIDIZED STEAMSHIP COM.
PANY BUYS AN ISLAND.
THE KAISER BACK OF IT
The Hamburg-Ameriean to Establish
A CoaIing Station and Naval Re-
pair Establishment.

WASHINGTON concern has
been caused the American state de-
partment as result of the action of
the Hamburg-American Steamship
company in purchasing Water island,
small key which commands the
Danish West Indies, for use as coal
ing station This commands the ap-
proach to the canal.
The anxiety of the authorities arises,
from the fact that the Hamburg-Amer-
lean company is subsidized by the
German government. It's steamers are
available in time of war for use as
auxiliary cruisers, and its coaling
stations may be utilized by the Ger
man government in order to carry on
hostile operations.
When the Panama canal Is complet-
ed st. Thomas, which has the best
harbor in the group, would make an
ideal base from which hostile fleet
could operate and control the canal.
Besides, the canal commands Porto
Rico and Cuba, and these islands are
the key to a descent upon the east
ern coast of the United States. The
island which has been purchased Is
just off the mouth of the harbor OF
st. Thomas, and that the company
intends to build large dock. Any
German men of war might use it. 1t
follows as a matter of course that the
company will erect shops to make
repairs and will maintain large coal
supply on the island, which will be
available for German battle ships or
cruisers. From what experts in the
navy department say, it would be
against the interests of the United
States to permit the consumation of
the project of the Hamburg
