GOV. MACON HANDICAPPED
Powerless to Decide Questions Now
Agitating the People.
CoCK-FIGHTING AND GAMBLING
What is Said by the leadership
preston of Notwithstanding
Experience of Liberals.
BY WILLIAM r. CURTIS.

Herald.
HAVANA, April 2. 1907.
Secretary Taft is supposed to be on his
way 10 Havana via the Isthmus of Pana-
ma and his arrival is awaited with great
anxiety because he is expected to, settle
numerous important controversies that have
arisen while Gov. Magoon has been sitting
on the lid. Unfortunately Magoon has no
power to act in serious matters of contro-
versy He is required to pass up every
thing to Washington, including one of the
most important questions that is agitating
the Cuban population-whether Gen. Woods
order forbidding cock-fghting shall be re-
voked.
This may seem ridiculous to the North
American reader. but it is a very serious
matter down here; question that involves
one of the most important political issues.
Delegations have been calling upon the
governor general regularly for several
weeks and the newspapers have contained
columns of arguments and opinions on one
side or the other Gen. Wood also pro-
hibited bull fighting and lotteries and his
orders stil stand under the Plat amend
ment Gov. Magoon will not revoke them
IL will have bad effect to revoke any or
der that has been issued by anybody or to
repeal any law that stands on the statute
books at the demand of the inssrrectos be-
cause such action will be construed on all
sides as CoWardCe. The inSurrectoS will
assume that their threats have been effec-
tive in one case and will try the same meth
cd in others, while the public generally will
assume that the American government is
afraid of another revolution and has yield
ed to the swdshbuCkers. As an easy way
out of the dilemma the liberals have pro-
posed local option in cock fighting. gam
bling and other public vices. They claim
that Secretary Taft promised them the priv
ilese of controlling their own affairs and
they would like to have that promise ap-
piled in this particular case by permitting
municipal authorities throughout the island
to decide whether there shall be coCkfghting
in their jurisdiction or not.
There never was much bull fighting in
Cuba. 1t was common to tease the bulls
by throwing darts into their hides and tor
turing them In other ways This was
called bull batting" and occurred frequent
ly, but the bulls were seldom killed.

DETHRoNED EMPRESS.
Once Beautiful Woman, with Her Con,
at the Tomb of the Emperor-Now
Alone In the World with Her Sad
Memories.

The most pathetic mental picture
that has been developed in my mind
for many day is revived by a brief
cablegram which described poor for
gotten Eugene, once Empress of the
French, driving about Paris, unno-
ticed. She visited tho Tuileries gar
dens, in which she and the then boy
prince often took the air. No doubt
she glanced at the side door of the
Louvre, facing the Rue de Rivoli,
through which she escaped-disguised
as a servant and with the aid of Dent
list Evans. an American
Poor old woman! She understands
that the people, not the royal" born,
own France. 1t was hard lesson,
but members of other dynasties be-
sides Napoleonic will learn it before
long.
Never shall 1 forget the only time /
saw the dethroned Empress. 1t was
In the fall of 1875, when taking a
days run down the London, Chatham
q Dover railway to Rochester,
whence l intended to drive to Gad's
Hill House. the home of the late
Charles Dickens.
When the station "Chiselhurst" was
called by the guard remembered that
the home Of the widowed Empress and
her son was near that place, and i'm.
mediately left the train. Not cab
was to be had; and, obtaining direc-
tions from the station master, start
ed to walk. The way was about q
mile, as recall 1t, and the keeper Of
the lodge peremptorily refused to ak-
NIT me to the park. had to content
myself with view Of the red brick
villa far among the trees. 1t comea
back to my mind as a stack of CHIN
neys and dormer windows-a beauti-
full place. no doubt.
Remembering that the deceased en-
peror had been buried at Chiselhurst
church, inquired the way thither.
1t wasn't far, directly up the main
road from the house. In a few min
utes stood before the grave.
AS was about to turn away a close
carriage drove up to the curb and a
young man helped out slender wom-
an In deep black. She approached the
grave and the young man brought
from the interior of the carriage q
large bundle of cut flowers. rec
ognized the face of the ex-empress at
once, as anybody might have done.
Divining that the two mourners wish
ed to be alone, I walked away and
only glanced back once to see that
the flowers had been placed upon the
grave and that the beautiful woman
was kneeling, with her tall. hand
some son.
The unfortunate prince was killed
by brawny Zulu in South Africa not
many months afterward.
