and Make Rapid Progress.
The Cuban women of to-day who
have had the advantages of residing in
the United States are very different
from the Cuban women of ten years
ago. before the Spanish-American war
wrought such great changes in their
beautiful island home Then they were
either ignorant from lack of education

cially accomplished if rich. Now they
are entering the business houses of Ha-
vana and making rapid progress along
commercial lines, says the Detroit
News-Tribune.
Many young Cuban women lost ia
theirs, husbands or brothers in the war.
Their homes were burned and their
jewels sold to buy bread. There came

There has also been a great demand

a call was made for $500 teachers

is E. Fry, supervisor of Cuban schools,
consulted with his educational asso-
oiates, for lack of trained teachers they
decided to choose other bright young
women, who were to hold the position
of teacher conditionally, studying
meantime and submitting to frequent
examinations. The result has been re-
markable, and the climax of this new
state of affairs was capped when Har-
ward university generously extended an
invitation to 1900 Cuban teachers for
six weeks course of study at Cam
bridge free of all expense.
Cuban women have also gone into
business on their own account. Some

A concrete wall should not be less
than one foot thick. Such wall will
not prevent frost entering unless 1t is
furred and sealed on the inside. Ii
may be made double. leaving dead
air space in the center, which will pre-
vent the frost from entering the base
ment. The wall can be built by using
planks twelve inches wide, set up in
the shape of a trough and filed solid
with concrete. If double wall is de-
sired, it would be better to use hollow
concrete blocks which are manufac-
tured for this purpose. A brick wall
should be laid on either the outside or

Provisions
to Enter Free for
a Time.
Consul Aristizabal
Gives News I'm

Measure Passed to
Enrich Party in
Power.

piece Of news of Importance to all
exporters of American foods to South
America sent bushes men of San
Francisco scurrying into the Offices OF
the consulate of Ecuador, on California
street, yesterday, and there they met
with a, double surprise. The news was
that the Government of Ecuador has
made foods from the United States into
Ecuador duty free for a period of three
months. the period beginning about the
first of the present month, which i'm
plies great opportunities for money
making on the part of enterprising San
Francisco houses If they can verify the
statement relating to the remission Of
duties.
The first surprise was that the acting
Consul could give no information Of
ficially in relation to the duty mat
ter because he has not been oficially
notified; the second was that NJ. Aris-
tizabal. who was appointed Consul for
Ecuador at this port less than three
months ago and who journeyed here
from South America to fill the position.
did not know whether he was Consul
or not.
To a Call representative M. Aristi-
zabal said, through the medium of an
interpreter. that he had heard that the
duties on food articles had been sus-
pended and he believed that to be true
But" he added, '+be careful to say that
1 do not make the statement officially.
1 do not know whether 1 am the Con-
sui for Ecuador at this port, Since I
left Ecuador a revolution has taken
place. 1 was appointed by President
Garcia. In the revolution, which took
place in January, General Alfaro won
and he became President. His party
went into Office. The other party went
out. The Minister of Ecuador to the
United States also retired from office. I
sent in my resignation February 20.
Since then L have not been notified
whether my resignation has been ac-
cepted."
Local exporters and the Pacific Com
mercial Museum kept the wires warm
to get Official information from Wash
ington regarding the Ecuadorian GUS
toms move. The supposition is that the
remission of duties will permit those
who took part in the revolution to re-
coup some of their losses by enabling
them to stock UP with goods at low
price at this time, having in view that
prices will rise when the duty is re-
stored and that they will be sure of
profit in that way. To get the most
profit possible, so it is also said by
the commercial men in this city, the
stock of goods to be imported into
Ecuador from the United States will be
very large. This fact inspires local
commercial effort to get the facts. In
ninety days San Francisco exporters
may clean up profit of many thou
sands of dollars by reason of the exist
ing exceptional conditions in the South
American state.
