transportation companies TO grant
free transportation to state. district

CUBA IS SATISFIED BY TAFT'S REMARKS English Colony, However, Ex- press Disappointment AMERICANS ARE PLEASED Statement About lrreguIarty Is Taken to Indicate American Control
 Will Last for Several
 Years.
AMERICANS ARE PLEASED

Havana, April u.-Excepting among the English colony, where some disappoint- ment is guardedly expressed regarding Secretary Taft's statement, issued last night, there Is every sign of general satis- faction with his remarks. The English men say the secretary's statements only guarantees good business for only q lit tie over year and that by the end of twelve months it will be necessary to re- trench, owing to the uncertainty about the new government It is pailny evident that English interest anticipated a state ment assuring a greater degree of perm anent American control.
 Spanish commercial interest are pleased because they consider Secretary Taft's statement regarding tranquility tanta- noun to an assurance of American con trol for several years.
 American commercial and banking in- terests are more optimistic than the Eng fish. The Americans declare that MT. Taft's words mean at least one year of continued business.
 One thing responsible for the lack of enthusiasm on the part of English res idents is the question whether or not Cuba shall be obliged to pay for dam age done property during the last revo- lution. As English interests suffered more In this direction than those of any other foreigners this matter is considered by them to be grave.
 The departure of Secretary Taft per- mtted the resumption today of routine government business, which has been practically at standstill since MT. Taft S arrival last Sunday

Syracuse N.

 Better Conditions for Southern Farms"
 was the subject of an address this fore
 noon by pr. simon A. Knapp of Lake
 Charles, La, special agent of the United
 States department of agriculture. Dr. Knapp spoke of the advantage to be de-
 rived by the farmers in developing the
 soil and in this manner increasing the
 output of their acreage.
 Dr. Knapp said:
 'rhe large body of freedmen settled throughout the rural districts of the south has tended to lower farm values
 and depress agriculture. The effect is
 not the result of color, but is caused by lower plane of living. We have lived un- der a slavery where the chains are in-
 
 with gold. It is all the same in effect. the impoverishment of the masses.' Dr. Knapp declared that the national bank ing law has caused a depressing ln huence by diverting most of the money of
 the country into commercial channels. He advocated the establishment of agricul- tural banks throughout the south to pro- vide money for farmers to harvest their crops and to improve their farms. ''rhe banking capital of our country he said, "has stimulated commercialsm, and by its concentration to cities has fostered gambling in stocks. The great fluctua-
 tion il the values of farms and farm products lies in the fact that the money of the country has been loaned to the speculative interests' Agricultural banks he said, should be established to assist in carrying out the plan of col
 onizing the country with thrifty home owners. Millions produced by the farms of the naton,' said pr. Knapp, have by banking processes been transferred to | commerce, and no way has been provid- ed under the law by which the money. ! fof the people can be used by the people for time Investments in providing for ownership of rural homes.' The confer | enee ordered Dr. Knapp's speech printed l and circulated in every state in tho
 south Representative Richmond Pearson 1 Hobson of Alabama, in an address to- night announced he had arranged with | Secretary of Agriculture Wilson for ex- perts in soil cultivation and good roads building to accompany him on a thirty days educational campaign throughout his congressional district. He urged na- tional aid for rural education in the south.

CANAL BUILDING
 AN EASY ]OB TaWney of Minnesota Sees Very Few Obstacles
YELLOW FEVER IS DOWNED
Representative Declares Panama Work Is Not Appalling and Conditions Are Favorable for Compile
 ton In Five Years.

Washington, April 11.-(Special. )-"The canal, at the present rate of progress, should be built in five years,' says Rep- resentative Tawney of Minnesota. When the full equipment of rolling stock is on the ground the rate will be a good deal more rapid than it is now. For instance there are now eighty-fve engines in use. When they get all they have ordered they will have 155. There are 20o0 flat cars to be added to those now in use, and everything else in the rolling stock and machinery line in proportion. The difficult ties that confront our worlxmen do not seem to a layman to be so tremendous. There are plenty of locks in this country that are as long and almost as high. Yet the engineers have sought to convey the impression throughout the country that the problems are simply appalling. Of course I may be wrong on this but to me it looks as if there was nothing to be done except to move the dirt out and keep the sanitary condition up to the present state of perfection.
 There is not a single case of yellow fever on the lsthmus, the mosquietoes have been banshed and sickness is no more prevalent there than 1t is In tho best governed city in the United States.
 "The Gatum dam is all right. It's foun- dations were laid by the Almighty, and all we have to do is to build a mountain upon these foundations between the other mountains to hold back the waters of tho river That is certainly not a hair-rais ing proposition. All that is required is steady patient work and common sense"
