PRoTECToRATE URGED.
pr. Lathe Says Cubans Are Not Fit for
 Self Government.

Self Government.
 Havana Special to New York Herald.
 "A protectorate Is the only sOlution,' said Dr. D. T. Laine today. We Gu bans know we are not fit for self-gov- ernment. Revolution is endemic here. No uncontrolled Cuban republic can stand, and 1t would be a crime for the United States to try it again. We don't care whether the President is Liberal or Moderate. but we do want peace, which Is impossible under either unless American supervision is inn posed to prevent reprisals and unavoid- able insurrections in consequence of retaliatory acts.
 If the Moderate government, com posed of our best people. failed, how can 1t expect more from the Liberal or negro government 1t threatens to set up to carry out President ROosevelt's hasty promises? Congress and the United States people may see from The Heralds frank announcement that a protectorate is absolutely necessary to save Cuba to her own people and best, too. for the United States as settling a troublesome question which will come up again within six months if the new republic is left unprotected.
 Let Congress add a little to the Platt amendment, which makes us Il protectorate anyway, by putting here United States representative with veto power to protect the Cubans from each other and a conservative party will form at once Now fear of reprisaIs prevents this. and already men are con spring within new republic which they would accept peacefully under United States proteCtorate'

vine, which Is so planned as to be tributary to the great Central Hall in which services are held in English.
 New York has two Adamless Edens, and each by analogy has proved the other to be a dismal failure. One is the H Martha Washington and the other Is what is known as the "Wid- ows' Settlement" in the upper arm of the lake in Central Park. For long time rumors of discord, if not actual war. have reached the outside world from the sacred precincts of the hotel whose threshold few mere men dare to cross. The trouble reached a climax one day last week when a stoclEhoI- ders meeting was called to consider the fact that. whatever it may have been as a theory, the hotel has so far proved a profitless venture. Then arose divers guests who are stockhold- CTS to the extent of not less than onA whole share of stock. and declared ment would ruin anything. they com plained.

There was no such thing as inducing one or them to do a little thing like tight ening a few strings or buttoning waist up the back without a tip. Up in this institution In Central Park It- rector Smith last summer had colony of 176 domestic ducks and only dog en drakes. To be sure the ducks donf wear waists that button up the back and their creature comforts are iook ed after by a mere' man. But since they were put into limited winter duar ters a short time ago. there have been single combats and battles royal which the old keeper declared to be nothing more nor less than a fight for nus band So a couple of dozen drakes were transferred to the lake and the trouble entirely disappeared.

DER KAISER GOT DER BEST
 OF DER DING BUSTED REPORTER

!, not only the Cxar's signature but also | the signature of his Prime Minister. | The ukase in question Is of no import ! ance. but the countersigning is; 1t es- tablishes the constitutional theory that not the Czar but his chief adviser is responsible for all governmental meas ures.
 The new fundamental laws issued last spring enjoined that no law should be issued during the Duma interreg- mum without the countersignature of the Prime Minister. Hitherto this law has been violated. The Czar was ap- parently under the apprehension that the peasants, seeing his Ministers sig nature after his own, would imagine that he had abdicated part of his pow CT.
 In future all laws will bear the Prime Ministers name, and he will be responsible, and the constitutional hc- tion will be established that "The Czar can do no wrong"
 Systematic graft by two prominent business men of Amsterdam has been exposed by the trial of Jonkheer De Geer and Lefevre de Montigny, the managers of two great Amsterdam banks.
 The trial has caused an unusual sem sation among phlegmatic Dutchmen, as the prisoners are men of high birth and social standing. The witnesses inciud- ed some of the best known men in Hol- land-members. of States-General, ex- cabinent ministers, bankers and inc Governor of Province. who as direc- tors of the banks concerned had to ad- init that laxity in control made the graft possible.
 The defalcations of De Geer and be Montigny which extended over ten years took sthe form of re-issuing mortgage bonds which were out of cir. culation. About 200 cases of falsiflca- tion of the books were discovered. They plead guilty, and will probably be sentenced to five years imprison- ment.
 A public notary at Rotterdam, who is also the manager of a mortgage bank will shortly be brought to trial on the charge of misappropriating $3,- 750,000 by means of fictitious mort gages.
 The Kaiser's ill-advised interference in all sorts of affairs is illustrated in the new Central railroad depot of Ham, burg, which has just been opened in a hurry because the Emperor insisted that it should be finished in 1906.
 The result is that the work has been scamped and all Is confusion in the big station. The switches and signals are faulty, trains come to grief In various ways, and the electric light Is liable to fail suddenly, causing the officials to use lamps and candles.
 The Central Depot, which cost nearly $10,000, 900, was begun about ten years ago and intended Ito supersede a num- Der of inadequate terminals. While the working was proceeding steadily, the Kaiser commanded the architects and contractors to hustle so that the station might be opened this year. The result of their hustling at imperial command is that the new depot has made a bad start and may take years to get into working order.

NEW YORK GAINS
 THOUSAND A DAY
PHENOMENAL GROWTH OF THE
 METROPOLIS IN 1906.
Nisht and Day Lawyers for Those Who Need Them--District Attorney Jerome DisappOints Insur-
 ance Men.

New York. Jan. 6.--According to uni yersaf New Years custom. Father Knickerbocker has been taking &C., count of stock, and finds occasion to congratulate himself that in 1908 his city of Gotham has broken all records for growth of big cities. Its total in- crease in population has been S75,ooo' or over a thousand new inhabitants for every day in the year. The floating pop ulation-visitors and others whose stay is temporary, whose homes are the mo- teis and lodging houses, and whose presence gives the air of hustle and rapid life to the shopping district and the Great White Way, is numbered at f50,0O0 to 100000. To the city and It's suburbs during the year has come an increase in real estate values of $6OO,- 900, ,000---a trif1e, to be sure, but near iy three times the property valuation of the entire State of Nevada in 1904. nearly equal to that of Arizona ana Wyoming combined, far greater than that of New Mexico, Idaho or Utah, and just about equal to the entire property valuation of South Dakota in that year. For the years work on< rapid transit projects, the total outlay has been $500 ,000, ,000 and the work already un- der way will cost $1,000, ,000. 900 by the time it Is completed. Just to keep in touch with things, the old gentleman In the powdered wig has broken an other record-that for telephone install latlons. Within radius of about thir- ty-five miles of the city hall there are now in service some SS9,o00 telephones; so that now New York has in service more telephones than London and the ten other largest cities of Great Brit ain combined; more than France, Hol- land, Belgium and Switzerland com bined and more telephones than are to be found in the twenty largest cities in Germany The new installations in the year numbered 67,o00. or nearly 200 a day.
 The New Yorker to the manor born expects to shuttle off his load of care and get home to Molly and the baby sometimes before breakfast the next morning: but the Sunday School su- perintendent from the interior who comes to town once a year or once lifetime with a hign steam pressure and a neat little roll of the long green ones in his right-hand trousers pocket, expects to stay right on the job until he sees a finish. Less than year ago a night and day bank was started to look after his financial needs, but seem ed only to increase his demand for other similar conveniences. So now q company has been formed to furnish legal aid in all sorts of emergencies at any hour of the day or night. All that is necessary Is to ring up the office from the hotel and then pay the bill. Not long ago a huatiing business man remembered that he was engaged to be married in an upstate city the next day. and that q steam yacht was Q necessary part of the equipment. It

ALAMEDA, Jan. 6.-Although the
field was muddy and the weather chill
ing, the Independents and Albion
Rovers put up torrid tussle this
afternoon in their association football
game. which ended in a victory for the
wearers, of the big "I'' by a score OF
3 TO 1. The Independents placed one
goal to their credit in the first half
and in the second period gathered in
two more. The Rovers made their lone
goal in the latter part of the final half.
The team work of the Indies was su-
perior to that of the Rovers and had
much to do with bringing about the
defeat of the kickers and buffers in
maroon sweaters. Balmain shot the
sphere between the posts twice for the
Independents, the other goal being
kicked by T. Fay. McLachlan served
the orphan goal for the Rovers. The
teams were made UP as follows:
Independents-Peg Godfrey. Souter Duncan
son. Nichels. Highett. Jones, T. Fay, Cunning

Albion Rovers-Russell. Woodend. Ridialgh.

P0CATELLI SHOWS
FLASH OF HIS
OLD FORM

George Nethercott's veteran grew
hound Pocatelli showed a flash Of his
old-time form at Jngleside Coursing
Park yesterday and won the class
stake from clever field. The old dog
had more class than his competitors
and his victory was a popular one with
the leashmen. In the final the son of
Emin Pasha hooked up with Jim Swee-
ney's fleet young dog Rear Admiral
The latter, though he held Pocatelli
level in the runup to the game, failed
to score point The old dog ran all
around the youngster after the turn
and never gave his hackers any con-
Germ.
The hares were weak and as a re-
suit the sport was not up to the stan
dard. frequently the best dogs were
defeated by fiuky rabbits, and the work
of the judge was made very difficult
Though Pocatelli is beyond the years
when greyhound shows his best form,
the bettors considered the dog good
enough to defeat the greyhounds he
met They played him favorite in all
his courses, except in a bye race with
his kennelmate La Rosa, and he de-
feated the latter handily.
