ABSORPTION OF
CUBA IS NOW
LOOKED FOR

Mr. Frederick Upham Adams. writing
In Golfers for August 20, 1905, gives
a plain statement OF facts which point
10 the peaceful absorption OF the Cuban
republic by the country which made
It's Independence possible and whose
capital is responsible for it's present
marked progress. In this article Mr.
Adams says:
A study OF the conditions which now
exist In Cuba will convince the In
telligent visitor that the peaceful an
nexation Of the island republic 10 the
United States In not only inevitable,
but also that such annexation Will not
be postponed for many years Those
best qualified to Judge do not hesitate
10 predict that this will be one of the
events TO he chronicled within the
next ten years. and many keen OBJ
servers are OF the opinion that II VIII
happen much sooner; I'm fact, they as
sert that IT will speedily he Forced to
the front as political issue In Cuba,
and that the annexationists will win in
the first battle.
Those who have not visited Cuba
since the war have no conception OF the
agricultural and Industrial revolution
which now is fairly under way. At a
conservative estimate more than sl20,-
000, 900 OF American and Canadian capt
tai is already invested I'm that island,
and this amount will be doubled in the
next two years. Shrewd capitalists are
buying land I'm tracts of from ten thou
sand TO one hundred and fifty thousand
acres, vast cane fields and orange
groves are being planted. great plains
or savannas are being devoted to the
raising Of cattle imported from Texas
ranges, copper and iron mines are be-
ing developed. network OF railroads is
spreading out over former wildernesses,
modern hotels are taking the place OF
wretched inns. American banks and
business establishments excite the won
der and envy OF the natives--a new
Cuba is building.
There is practically no restriction OF
the ballot in Cuba, and since there is
every likelihood that the question or
annexation will finally be settled at the
polls, it is we'll 10 inquire into the
political predictions OF the electorate.
For this purpose ! will divide the voters

and the rural guard; 90 capitalists and
plantation owners; Cd American set

TEMPEST
BREAKS GRIP Of
n. {. HOT WAVE

Boston, Aug PA few hours before
the heat wave which has held persistently
over New England since last Saturday
was broken last evening by the advent
OF a cool blast OF air from the north,
many portions Of New England were Wis
tied by thundershowers OF more or less
intensity, and as usual there were 'at1li-
ties and considerable damage 10 property.
The shower which passed down the Mer-
rimac river and then northeastward over
southwestern Maine resulted in one death
at Kennebunk, a hail storm in Portland,
the destruction of two barns In York,
while an hour or two earlier what was
undoubtedly the same disturbance caused
the burning by lightning of two buildings
I'm Peterborough, y. IA.
Another disturbance OF a comparatively
small area passed across Massachusetts
and out to sea over Cohasset, put Il was
not as severe as the Merrimac river
storm. Thundershowers also prevailed In
Vermont and certain portions Of rorth-
ern Maine.
The cool wave which followed closely
after the thundershowers brought great
relief To the entire New England section.
The thermometer IN this city droppe1 ~
degrees within few minutes last evening.
The heat wave began on Saturday. and
since then there have been few places IN
New England where the thermometer has
not reached S5 and even 20 during some
portion OF the succeeding days.
An area OF low pressure semed TO hang
persistently over the ST. Lawrence Valley,
which drew up from the south and SOUTH
west the hot moist conditions which have
brought so much discomfort. Prostrattons
have been more numerous during the six
days than at any time this summer.
A continuation OF the cool wave IS an
ticipated for the next few days.

1T PAYS TO RENT.
AUTOMOBILES IN
THE CITY.
BY r. r. rtIornn1edieli.

There IS a new branch of the auto
mobile game that is turning out TO be
paying proposition 1t is the rent
service The companies that have cars
to rent have been overrun with work
Although 1t is expensive to hire cars
at the present time. there Is such a great
demand that the prices are kept up to
nrst came TO the coast. 1t has been found
that the automobile more than pays
for itself even when hired.
At the present time only ordinary
touring cars are being used in the rent
service. and these answer very well
under the present conditions but there
is an open field for a firm that can
command enough capital 10 go into the
business of renting out cars that have
an up-to-date finish There are many
women in the city who would be pay
irg customers to a Arm that could put
cars in the service with limousine
bodies. This style of rig would be in
demand for shopping and also be called
upon for social events.
Just now there is very little social
life in the city, but when the winter
months arrive and the people who do
the entertaining return to the city
there will be a renewal of the festivi-
ties. Since the fire there has been
more use made OF the automobile than
ever before and most OF those who arc
H. society have been motoring. When
they return to the city they will not
care to use the cab or carriage if they
can secure a motor car that will be
of the limousine type These vehicles
are much cleaner and better than the
OId-t time conveyance The firm that
brings out a number of these cars will
reap a harvest.
There is one thing that the fire did,
hat . ~l,sl
trade together within space OF about
two blocks. Most of the large cities
nave their automobile row. Before the
fire the trade of the city was scat
tered, bu. now the garages can be
found between Larkin and Van Ness
on Golden Gate avenue. There are
several other firms that were located
beyond the fire line before April IS.
These are still at their old locations.
fine point of law may come up
some day if there Is an accident on
Van Ness avenue in which an autOmo-
bile and a truck are concerned. Before
the avenue became the center of the
retail trade it was made a boulevard
and all truck and heavy business
wagons were debarred from using IL.
This law has not been repealed and
every wagon and truck that uses it is
breaking the law. The same can be
said of Golden Gate avenue beyond
Van Ness.
The runs and tours committee of the
Automobile Club of California has is
sued another circular calling attention
to the reliability test which takes place

to make this one OF the greatest con-
t. SITS ever held by the club A B.
Watson, the chairman of the commit
tee, requests that all those who are

AMATEUR FIGHTERS
TAKE PART IN
SLOW BOUTS.

motley throns of fight fans fought
and rough housed with each other TO
gain admittance to the Dreamland Pa
vilion last night to witness the anna
teur boxing show. The show was not
worth the efforts. The main event went
to Iron Man" Charley Dunn, who
managed to meet the rushes of Jack
Rodney very effectively and score wal
lops enough in the last two rounds to
bring back the verdict. This was the
best mill of the night. though it was
far from being an affair of class.
Two alleged heavies, Battling John
son and Joe Willis, waded around the
ring for four rounds like a couple of
turkey buzzards. Johnson had nothing.
Willis could jab in his left once IN q
while, and therefore he won. A good
wallop on the point would have made
either pick out soft spot on the
carpet.
Kyle whitney. the black demon. sus-
tanned his reputation by securing the
decision over Ed Carter. The latter
should have won at that. for the dark
dyed one did nothing but swing his
arms around after the manner of a
Dutch windmill. George Murray lost
to Walter Stanton In fairly good
mill. Both men were ready TO MIX but
Stanton was a bit more diplomatic and
had Murray on the road to the down
and out retreat many times.

The boxers are to weigh in at 133

40 per cent to the loser. Hanlon was
willing to have 10 per cent go to the
winner, but he readily agreed to the
other division.
The boxers are to wager $1,000 each
on the side. From appearances there
should be as much action in a few
rounds Of this fight as there was in all
the contest at Goldfield. Neither ef

that is a style in the ring they have
never cultivated
