The absence from the capital Of Vice
President Mendes Capote, who hither-
to has been right hand man and ad
wiser of President Palma and who is
at his summer home at Cardenas, Is
exciting some comment. In order to
appreciate the motives of the insur-
rectionists 1t should be remembered
that political partisanship in Cuba is
radical and fierce and with the oppo-
sition takes the form of violent con-
domination of the dominant party.

INTERESTING BOOK ON


Whitehall, Mont. Aug. 20, 1906
To the Editor Herald, Havre, Mont.
Dear Sir--There has recently been
published from the United States de-
partment of agriculture, office Of ex-
pertinent stations, irrigation and drain
age Investigations, a bulletin-No. 172
entitled, Irrigation in Montana
This bulletin was prepared by former
Director Fortier of the Montana ex-
pertinent station and myself, and writ
ten by Prof. Fortier.
Cards have been sent out from the
above office to a great many people
throughout the west and it is feared
that the edition will become exhaust
ed before the farmers of our state
have been supplied. Therefore, / be-
lieve you would be doing good act
by calling the attention of the farm
ers to the fact, through the columns
of your paper, that they may secure
a copy by application to the depart
ment at Washington.
This bulletin will be of more inter
est to the farmers of this state than
to those of other arid states, as it
deals with conditions which are more
or less local. Yours sincerely,
J. S. BAKER,
Agent and Expert.

/ Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 22.-Rumors
have been freely circulated here that
Florida Cubans have fitted out sue
cessful filibustering expedition, which
sailed from one Of the keys near Key
West, carrying arms and ammunition
to the revolutionists on the island, but
it has been impossible to verify these
reports, for the reason that the Cubans
learned lesson in the revolution
against Spain and are now much more
cautious in their movements.

Both physicians are known as alien

doctors.
The visit gave rise to reports that a

Tombs physician, who went to Thaw's
cell when informed of the visit, was
assured that this was not so.
A. r. Peabody, another Of Thaw's

HAS REACHED THE MAXIMUM.
Believed That Revolution in Cuba
Will Not Spread.

Havana, Aug. 22-The indications
now are that the revolution in West
ern Cuba already has practically
reached its maximum. The govern
mellt and people generally believe the
movement has received all the acceE-
sions it will be likely to gain. The
promptness Of the government in ar
resting suspected leaders and plotters
in Havana and elsewhere and in send
ing reinforcements to the disturbed
districts has had an excellent effect
in Strengthening public confidence and
overaweing sympathizers with the
movement.
On the other hand, and notwith-
standing the quietude of the Pinar del
Rio region throughout the day, peac-
able inhabitants Of the cities of Pinar
del Rio, Consolation del Sur, San Juan
del Martinez and other western towns
are in hourly apprehension of the at
tack and occupation of those places.
The fact that probably 1000 insur-
gents are intending 10 concentrate in
the province of Pinar del Rio upon
towns inadequately guarded by small
attachments of rural guards, mostly
inexperienced in warfare, makes the
situation grave, but as the insurgents
have not assumed any strongly often
sive attitude or interfered with trains
carrying troops, horses and supplies,
1t is inferred that they are not pre-
pared or lack the nerve to try for con-
troll Of the territory.
There have been many rumors OF
fights at various points in the province
of Pinar del Rio, but they have not
been confirmed by government OF
press dispatches. However, night at
tacks on the city of Pinar del Rio and
other towns continue to be regarded
as a probability. The government
wires are working freely. Pinar de
Rio, Consolation del Sur and San Juar
del Martinez have been reinforced by
200 troops. The loyal citizens are wei
equipped to repel invasion.
Fighting in Havana Province.
There was some fighting Tuesday il
Havana province and more is hourl,
expected. A detachment of rura
guards encountered a portion of Ban
dera's band. with which shots wer,
exchanged at close range. One insur
gent was killed and the others scat
tered. Fifty rural guards are in pun
suit of the main band.
It is reported that the town of Gui
mes, twenty miles south of Havana
was peacefully occupied by an band O
insurgents Tuesday evening. Gune
is the center of the American true
farming industry, but the farmers hav
not been molested.
The old Havana arsenal is tn
scene of the enlistment of a new quot
Of rural guards. This work is in tn
charge of veterans appointed for tn
purpose.

knowledge Of the life, conditions and op-
portunities in the three prairie provinces
. that should greatly quicken the stream
of settlement from the rural districts of
Britain to Canada.
From the Western States, too, valuable
assistance has been received in the work
of harvesting the crop this year, and some
of the finest fields in Saskatchewan and
Alberta have been worked almost exclu-
sively by Americans. So successful has
been the settler from the Western States,
usually, that he is invariably the fore
runner of a colony from that portion of
the State whence he came, and, through
the new provinces particularly, there is
a very strong representation from North
and South Dakota, Oregon, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, Hi
nois, Missouri and other States of the
Union. These are amongst the most pro-
gressive settlers, as they come we'll pro-
vided with money, completely equipped
with stock and machinery, and possessed
of knowledge of western farming which
cannot possibly be possessed at first hand
by the settler from beyond the ocean.

FRIENDS.
They Are a Life Prisoner and a Grip
pied Girl.

They Are a Life Prisoner and a Grip
pied Girl.
Those who are interested in the great
work that Mrs. Ballington Booth is
carrying on in behalf of prisoners will
remember that every year she sends
out through the newspapers an appeal
for aid to carry Christmas cheer to the
prisoners families, many Of whom are
in deep want.
In a recent issue Of Forward is the
story Of two letters which came in the
same mail in response to her appeal.
Each letter contained a dollar. One
was from a man who had spent already
twenty-four years in Jail, and knew
that the years that were left must all
be spent in the same dark walls; the
other from little crippled girl, whose
life was spent upon a Sick-bed.
The girls dollar Mrs Booth spent IN
helping a poor family, but the life"
mans, she decided, should be used in
buying something for the little prisoner
of pain whose letter had come with his.
The next time that she visited the
prison she found the life man wait
ing eagerly to see her. He had read in
the prison paper how his dollar had
been used, and q new idea had come to
him. The warden allowed him the use
of an old shanty, in which he raised
canaries, and he wanted to send one
to the little cripple if she would care
for it. Accordingly, a letter was writ
ten to her asking if she would care to
have a canary. Her answer was full Of
delight. She had never had a bird in
her life, she wrote.
So in the spring a singing canary
went from the prison to the sick room,
and a letter came back to the prisoner
the beginning of a correspondence
which has continued ever since. Neither
will ever see the other, but to each has
now come one Of life's great gifts-a
friend. From the prisons Of sin and
suffering each soul found its way to
freedom through the same golden key
Of kindness.
The story is only one Of many. Mrs
Booth can tell countless instances of
courage and unselfishness and even
splendid heroism among her "boyg,"
and no one will ever know all the
blessings that have come to the world
from lives shut in to pain and suffering
But every such story bears a solemn
question to those who are we'll and
free. If these two, tout of the apparent
wreck of all that makes life worth liv-
ing" could yet give joy to others, what
are we doing with our infinitely greater
opportunities?

A MONUMENT TO INcAPAcITY.
Vast Sum of 100000 Sunk in 9
Useless Hole.

Vast Sum of 100000 Sunk in a
Useless Hole.
One of the most sensational instances
on record Of extravaganza in the ex-
penditure Of public money is disclosed
In the history of the huge reservoir
constructed some 13 years ago at Mill
burn, L. /. This reservoir is about
1000 feet long and 1000 feet wide,
having q water surface of 4S acres,
and it was designed to hold water to
the depth of p feet, giving a total ca
pacity Of about 370,000,0O0 gallons. 1t
was built by, and for, the old city of
Brooklyn before the latter was CONSOLE
dated with the other boroughs of great
er New York, and 1t was practically
completed In 1893, the aggregate cost
having been 81, 100000. This immense
sum of money, wrung from the taxpay-
ers Of Brooklyn, proved, however, to
lave been utterly thrown away, for the
reservoir has never been utilized for
even a single day. When tested after
its completion the leakage was found
to be so great that it was impossible to
store water in it. The defects Of con-
struction were so serious that the city
authorities shrank from mourning the
great extra expense of remedying
them. The reservoir could be used to
store water only by placing a water
tight lining in it, and this would have
cost several hundred thousand dollars
4Io g
the development of the Brooklyn water
shed it is not deemed advisable to
spend so much additional money on
the badly made big receptacle. It is
likely, therefore, long to remain abso-
lutely useless and worthless, except as
warning monument to municipal in
capacity and extravaganza.

A review Of the trade of the United
States with its noncontiguous terrific.
ries for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1906, shows that there has been re-
markedly large increase in our dealings
with Porto Rico. Hawaii still retains
first place In the total trade-ship-
ments of merchandise to and from
but Porto Rico is a very close second,
the figures being: Hawaii, $38,900,000;
Porto Rico, $3S, 30O,00O; whereas for
1905 they stood as follows: Hawaii,
100000; Porto Rico, $29,6O0,0OO. In
both years the shipments to Porto Rico
exceeded those to Hawaii, and they were
notably larger in 1905. The increase
from 1905 was: Porto Rico, 1884,
600 to SIS, 900; Hawaii, 81, $4,000
to $12,036,00O. Porto Rlco's purchases
consisted largely of iron and steel and
cotton manufactures, provisions and
rice grown in the United States. Items
of which special mention is made IN
Hawaii's list are iron and steel manu-
features, mineral oils, breadstuffs and
provisions. Our purchases from Porto
Rico increased from something less
than sixteen millions to something more
than nineteen millions, while the value
OF the purchases from Hawaii fell from
thirty-siX millions to less than twenty
seven millions. The decline is explain
ed by a reduction in the price of sugar,
which is HaWaii's chief export, and
the product that gives her the position
she occupies in the trade as compared
with the other colonies" Sugar is the
largest item in our purchases from Por
to Rico also, and she has a pretty big
bill against us for cigars. In 1905 we
sent to Alaska nearly as much mer-
chandise as we sent to Hawaii, and in
1906 Alaska's purchases here amounted
to between two and three millions more
in value than Hawaii's. Shipments
from Alaska to this country showed a
slight reduction, due to a decrease in
the sales Of canned salmon. The value
in both years was not far from ten mil
lions. But Alaska ships us large guam
titles of gold, both domestic and for
eign. Gold Of domestic production ship
ped in 1906 came to twelve and one
half millions, as against nine millions
in 1905, and the gold shipped out from
the adjacent British territory came to
seven and one-half millions in 1906, as
against ten and three-quarters millions
in 1905. By comparison with the pos
sessions named the Philippines make
small showing. Shipments of merchan-
disc to the islands amounted to only
$6,20O,00O in 1905, and they fell off to
$5,458,00O in 1906. Meanwhile our pur-
chases from the Philippines were al
most stationary at between twelve and
thirteen millions, though a slight de-
cline was shown. Hemp makes up
much the larger part of the purchases.
