VICE PRESIDENT CAPoTE AND THE PALACE
AT HAVANA.
PRODUCTION of modern methods and APP
planes in the cultivation of tobacco,
sugar and other plantations had
brought Cuba to a stage of industrial
and agricultural prosperity never be-
fore known. But when a country is
overrun by contending armies and
crops are seized or burned. beasts of
burden are carried off TO satisfy the
hunger Of the warriors in the woods
and labor in general is in n state of
suspense and anxiety. cultivation of
plantations becomes practically impos-
sible. Fall is the planting time for
7 the tobacco crop, and SO little has yet
been planted that next years crop will
be very small. The success of the
sugar crop has also been threatened.
Under these conditions foreign invest
ors have become alarmed as to their
losses through the instruction, and
intending investors have been frighten-
ed away.
Senior Gonzales de Quesada, who was
made" the recipient OF the presidents
views concerning the Cuban situation,
was at the head of the Cuban iunta in
this country prior to American inter
vention and the Spanish war. He was
born in Havana in 1865, but was edu-
Gated In the public schools of New York
city. at the College Of the City of New
York and Columbia university. His
paternal grandfather was wealthy
Cuban landholder VINO cpce refused
from Spain the title of Marquis de San
ia Cruz His family lost their wealth
through the troubles of the island. but
money came to him through his wife,
and mrch OF her fortune was devoted
TO aiding the revolutionists, who. with
American help. finally won freedom
from Spain.
At the outbreak of the instruction
there were rumors that General Men
lez Capote. the Cuban vice president.
was plotting against President Palma
with the view of succeeding to the
executive Office himself. Subsequent
events. however. supported the view
Of his loyalty to his chief He was

were commissioned to prosecute by the
president. 1t Is seldom that in so short
a time so much occurs In a country to
produce conditions of anarchy and in
dustrial chaos. AS President Roose-
welt In his now historic letter to Min
lister Quesada put 1t: "For seven years
Cuba has been In condition of pro-
found peace and OF steadily growing
prosperity. For four years this peace
and prosperity have obtained under her
own Independent government Her
peace, prosperity and independence are
now menaced, for OF all possible evils
that can befall Cuba the worst is an
archy"
When Cuba set up as an independent
republic one of the first things done
was to contract big debt in order to
pay Off the veterans of the revolution
airy army. This was done In the be-
lief that revolutions were at an end
and that the industries of the island
would provide revenue for the ex-
penses of government. When the In
surrection broke out In August the
government had about S13,OOO,OO0 in
the treasury, and the extra session OF
congress, recently called, authorized
President Palma to draw on other than
war funds for the purpose of sup
pressing the opponents of the govern
ment.
Senior Palma's executive residence Is
the old palace formerly occupied by the
Spanish captains general 1t was In
front Of this the marines from the
cruiser Denver were stationed after
their landing in Havana and before
their recall at the instance of President
Roosevelt.

Hongkong is not part of China. but Is
= British possession off the coast of
China. 1t Is an island and is separated
from the mainland by the narrow Lye-
nun strait. Its capital and chief town
Is Victoria, often spoken of as Hong
kong. This city Is built upon the north
side OF the island and around the curve
Of a wide bay. The island Of Hong
kong is about ten miles long by seven
broad, and behind the city of Victoria
rises Victoria peak. which attains an
altitude of nearly 1000 feet.
Hongkong is the first slice of her en-
pire which China gave to outsiders. 1t
was coded TO the English in 1S42 after
the opium war. At that time 1t was a
mass OF barren rocks, the haunts of a
few fishermen. The Importance of the
port Of Hongkong became such that in
1898 Great Britain obtained from China
a lease OF 376 square miles of the main
land adjoining. This territory, with
Hongkong. now forms British crown
colony and naval station.
One may now take steam ferry at
the docks of Hongkong and land in
few minutes In the English Chine of the
Kowloon peninsula. The English have
owned a landing place here since 1860,
but their territory was greatly en-
larged By the lease Of 1898, and a set
Element has already arisen on the
mainland which has many of the char
acteristics of an up to date community.
Hongkong itself has population of
about 100000, mostly Chinese, but a
large proportion of the Chinese even
are British subjects by right of birth.
The colony Is governed by officials sent
out from England and by minor off,

Matthew Nathan. Being We naval de-

An instance of the scarcity Of labor comes
from Crystal Falls which has for years been
the center of big wood business. The yearly
output shipped to the Chicago and Milwaukee
markets has always been in the neighborhood of
$4,000 cords. This year there will be less than
LOCO cords shipped. Woodchoppers are so scarce
that the city Of Oconto Falls. in the heart of

The delay in getting cars at Crystal Falls is
also said to be a factor in the situation.

scarcity of labor, for they get the most Of
their timber from individual jobbers, who de-

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-06-01

the girl raised her eyes horse raced
into the yard, with its TANKS reeking
with water and the rider wet from the
tip of his plumed hat to the soles of his
cavalry boots.
The man rode into the barnyard and
left his steed in the stall, then ran into
the house. At that moment the head
Of the Federal column came over the
hill on the gallop. The Confederate
saw the line Of blue uniforms, the sun
flashing on the sabers, and with hur-
ried glance around he sprang to his
feet and ran to the corner, in which
stood an old "grandfather's clock" In
n moment he had opened the door and
slipped inside, and by the time he had
closed it again the Union mon were
trooping into the house.
They began a thorough search of the
house from garnet to cellar, but not q
trace of the man could they find. The
beds were torn to bits, the pantries eX-
plored, every closet upset and no nook
or corner of the place left uninvesti-
gated, but to no purpose. Then the
barn was given good overhauling,
and. though they found the wet and
saddled horse, there was. no trace of
the rider. At last all the Union men
collected in the sitting room where the
young lady sat quietly watching the
proceedings and still busy in her house
hold duty of preparing the fruit. They
were nOnplused and could not imagine
what had become of the fugitive.
Now, it happened that the old clock
was not running, but had been broken
for some time and was full Of dust,
which the entrance Of the ranger had
disturbed. In fact, he was in a great
Dredicament. The dust had filled his
nostrils, and he felt creep over him the
horrible sensation of n coming sneeZe.
A sneeze meant capture, perhaps death.
but the sneeze had to come.
A bright thought flashed into The
Confederates mind, and with quick
motion Of his hand he set the old
wheels in whirl, and the rusty gong
sounded q sonorous chime In the COW
Pr of the noise the sneeZe was born,
but 1t was not heard. However, the
sudden waking of the old clock excited
suspicious, and. with glance of in
luiry, the federal officer moved toward
It. The girl was quick to take in the
situation. With a fretful air she ex-
claimed:
"There goes that old clock again. 1t
must really be fixed, for it is so annoy
n.y." And the officer, changing his
mind, took no more notice Of the &C.
.urrence In few moments the house
was deserted and the troops had pass
ed away in the direction of their
lamps, leaving the rebel to come out
from his hiding place sight to behold.
The wet clothes were full of dust and
his face gray with the water and mud
which covered It, but he was a very
happy man. In an hour he was back
imong his remaining troops.-Kansas
