For Freedom BY May |

Way-Says Past Is Now Behind Me For
ever"-State to Push Case.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Nan Patterson
sat in the Tombs prison this morning
fretting over the four-day postponement
of her trial on account of the Easter
holidays.
The actress is eager TO plunge into the
mass of testimony, which means either
life or death to her.
She has the most optimistic belief that
the jury will acquit iIer of killing Caesar
Young. So strong is her cosyiction in
her ultimate acquittal that the actress
merely regards the trial IS so much
formallty. Every delay causes her to
fret.
II await this trial without the slight
est fear of the consequences, knowing
that the jury must find me guiltless, .

trial, but there IS now no fear. AS ]

jury could disagree.

May Day at my home in Washington.

by that time. For myself, / do not

old. There were aboIt twenty aged

has 1t On the authority of the naval
headquarters staff that Admiral Nebo-
gaton's squadron has already passed
Sunda strait and is on the point of eff

Rogestvensi1y' fleet.
The Russian ambassador here has
given his views to the Patrfe on the
future movements of Rogestvensky-
He is of the opinion that the admiral
will engage the Japanese at once and
endeavor 20 inflict the worst possible
damages even at the risk OF being de-
stroyed himself
If this he accomplished and if the
japanese fleet be materially crippled.
Russia will still have Nebogatons
squadron and the one being prepared

and the two cruisers at Viadivostoh.

QUE TRADE WITH CUBA.

Our reciprocity treaty with Cuba is rapidly
Windicating itself. Long and bitterly opposed
on the ground that It gave something for moth
sng, It has triumphantly confounded its critics.
Although the Bliss-Zaldo convention has been
in force for only a little oyer a year, It has
greatly stimulated trade with Cuba and has
opened the Cuban market on advantageous
terms TO many American products previously
imported IN inappreciable quantities. President
PaiEna's message to the Cuban Congress last
week brought 70 light the fact that in the
calendar year 1904 our sales to Cuba showed
a greater ratio of increase than the sales Of
all other foreign countries put together. OF
Ouba's total imports we furnished 42.5 per cent,
whereas IN 1903 we had furnished only 4O.5
per cent This relative gain, too, was made in
spite Of the fact that Cuba's imports increased
enormously in 190Efrom S68.OOO,OO0 10 $751;
OO0,OOO-and that with a return Of something
Ike cldtme prosperity an unusual demand had
been created for the luXuries-wines silks,
dress goods, laces, ornaments, etc.-Which are
purchased from Spain, France, England and
Germany. In an expanding market based on
greater consumpuve capacity, the United States
not only got its share Of the increase in inn
ports. but actually gained a little ground on
European rivals.
Figures Just issued by the Bureau Of Statis-
tics Of the Department Of Commerce and Labor
ascendency we are winning in the Cuban mar
ket These figures summarize our commerce
with Cuba for the eight months ending with
February, 1905. and they show that our eX-
ports for the fun year ending June 80 next will
largely exceed those OF any earlier fiscal year.
IL the eight months ending with February we
exported 10 Cuba products valued at S24,126,-
6s7. In the same period in 1903-'04 our exports
reached a value Of only S16JS98,Ss4, so that
the increase this year IS over - per cent. The
total value Of our exports 10 Cuba IN 1903-04
was S27,377 .415-the largest total on record.
But for 190s'05 II Is evident that the total
will be between S35, 100000 and $4,000, 600
practically half OF Cuba's annual purchases
abroad.
The practical wisdom OF the reciprocity agree
ment is also demonstrated in the wide range
OF our present export trade with Cuba and
IN the steadily increasing sales IN the island
Of dozens Of American agricultural and manu-
f0ctured products Cuba sells us two great
staples-sugar and tObaccO-f0r which there
Is q practically ineXhaustible market But
our return sales include hundreds Of articles.
