OPENING IN FRANCE
FOR "ICE-BOX" MAKER
Rough Boxes Foisted on the Public Of
Nice at $40 Each Refrigerator Sell
ing at $15 in u. S. Worth $50. 81
BY w. w. : Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 30. Refrigerated
manufacturers have a fine. opening in
southern France, according to United
States Consul Patti of Nice He says
the people there. have never had re-
frlgerators until lately and would not
pc wanting them now if it were not
that the manufacture Of ice has been
taken up quite largely all over the
south OF France. The refrigerators now
sold at Nice, he says, are enough to-
make horse laugh. The smallest sizes,
looking like rough packing boxes, sell
Tor about $40. An. American refriger-
ator OF the same capacity, selling in
this country. for not more than $15,
looks alongside the French article as
IT IT must certainly be worth $50. -
Mr.. Patti induced a man in Nice
to import five American refrigerators
and the result was so astonishing to
the F'renchmen that the consul is con-
strained to say this:a In fact, I may
assert, that once introduced here in
lots to supply the demand, any other
refrigerator sold in this part Of France
up to the present time would be prac-
tically unstable ut any price. would
commend this fact to the Americas
manufacturers -
The five refrigerators imported cost
in New, York only $50. Thus it will
be seen that they must have been Of
small size. The freight and duty made
the five cost the importer. $3.50 in all,
but the consul says this could be mate
rally reduced if they We're imported in
large lots and billed; direct to the
buyer, as he says can be, done, there
being now direct steamship connection
between New York and Nice.

Minister Quesada Declares Island
Would Oppose Rule Like
Porto Rico's.
~ W. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. ,2O.-It is quite APP
parent from conversation with Gonzalo
de Quesada, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary from the re-
public of Cuba, that the intelligent
people of Cuba would have little or no
objection to union with the United
States, if their, island could enter as a
gdegree. of autonomy as is enjoyed by
the present states of the union, but
shat annexation under the vassalage
system by which Porto Rico is held
would be resisted with all their
strength to the last desperate eXtrem-
ity. In fact, Mr.. Quesada frankly
says that the Cuban people might be
exterminated. but never again held IN
bondage as they were held by Spain.
If the people of the United States
could only understand Cuba as under
now printed and believed in this coun.:
said Mr.. Quesada. "The popular i'm
preston in this country is that the
people of Cuba have simply demon
strated the inevitable-their incapacity
for elf-government-and that if again
given their independence it will be. but
short time until they are again in a
state of anarchy. This impression is

How can anyone say that if aware Of

independence has existed for four and
one-half years. The Palma administra-
ton came in to find 100000 in the
treasury, and it goes out leaving $13,-
100000 there. Is that all indication
of incapacity for self governments
elm the four years and a half there
has not been even a whisper of dis
honesty in the administration of Cuban
affairs. Even the worst enemy Of
President Palma will acknowledge that.
Would you call such a state Of affairs

about our troubles are known we shall
