OUR PROBLEM IN CUBA.
VIII IL Be Necessary 10 Establish a
Permanent PrOtectorate Theref

From the New York Herald
Cuban news Is too contradictory 10 be
reassuTing, for although neither the ex-
IRENE pessimism of Washington nor the
extreme optimism Of Havana may be
quite justified, the conflicting reports
prove that tranquility Is merely on the
surface; that the volcano is only slumber-
Ing. not extinct. There is no immediate
danger Of another uprising. according TO
the Herald's correspondent in Havana.
but. he adds. one IS inevitable should the
Liberals carry the next election IN
short. the situation is this: The instant
that one political party wins its way to
power, the other takes 10 the cane
The present uncertainty is so intoler-
able that it cannot be prolonged indef-
niteIy, and in the very near future cir
cumstances viii force some outside power
TO take in hand the work Of bringing
order out OF chaos.
Which power ought TO undertake the
task is very clear. 1t is the United
States, for Cuba lies within its geographi-
cai and political sphere of influence. and,
moreover, IS in its present rudderless con-
dttion through the shOrtsightedness of the
United States in comforting complete self
government upon the Cubans before they
were qualified TO use the gift. But a sec
ton of sentimentalists in the United
States has hitherto prevented the govern
ment from recognizing and repairing that
initial error.
The situation grows steadily worse, and
the moment is rapidly approaching when
Europe viii be compelled to protest
against anarchical conditions which keep
commerce. industry. and finance in Cuba
trembling on the brink of ruin. The
United States must intervene then or
step aside for Europe. Nothing is to be
gained by further shillyshallyng. The
difficulty should be faced boldly. and a
straightforward protectorate established
over Cuoa similar TO the protectorate
England has established over Egypt.
To withdraw troops from Cuba now
would be rank folly. The Cubans, IN
aided, are incapable of maintaining order,
are incapable even of graphing with the
sanitation question The withdrawal OF
American troops would be followed
either by an outbreak Of revolution or an
outbreak of yellow fever. For every rea-
son. therefore. political, economic, or
hygienic, the United States should estab-
fish a protectorate over Cuba, and main
tain it until such time as the Cubans
may prove that they are competent to
govern themselves, and to dispense with
leading strings.

COAST LINE SINKING.
Islands Along the Chesapeake Are
Fated 10 Disappear.

From the Baltimore American.
The cable dispatches bringing informa-
ton chat the citys of Kingston, IN ia
maica. was sinking into the sea has Ie-
called TO mind that the face line Of the
entire Atlantic Coast has changed con-
siderably IN the past few years. This fact
is noticeable in the Chesapeake Bay par
ticularly, and the pilots who have for
years gone up and down the waterway,
and are qualified authorities o. the sub
ject, say that the Islands which have
been known in the bay for years are
gradually disappearing. lue to the sink
ing of the earth's crust aud continual
erosion. The pilots also assert that in
some parts Of the bay the channels have
been made deeper in the past ten or twcn-
ty years ard that this Is due to the sink
ing Of the earth along the Atlantic Coast
Scientists assert that as the coast line
of the Atlantic sinks into the ocean there
is a proportionate rise IN the coast line
on the Pacific. This fact has bee,. es-
tablished beyond doubt
II IS figured by persons competent TO
talk on the subject that in less than 100
years from now beautiful and fertile
Kent Island Will have sunk into the bay
and HOOpers Island, Sharps Island Bar

Island and others Will have disappeared
and nothing OF them VIII remain to re-

surface OF the bay, and other islands

BEGINNINGS OF A POLITICIAN
Usefulness OF Knowing Men In In

President Hadley, in the Independent
The most valuable preparation for po-
ltical activity that you can make during
the years Of your student life is 10 get
acquainted with as many kinds of men
as possible The boy who lives by him

throughout life The boy who runs with
a clique in college will probably remain
his whole life long the representative Of
a clique That boy. on the other hand.
who learns while In college the wonder
ful interest OF knowing and influencing
different kinds OF men may in after life
become the representative and leader of
the whole nation Unless you care for
other people you cannot know them. IN
less you know them you cannot influence
them. Unless you influence them you
cannot lead them. l have in mind a col
lege friend OF my own who unconsciously
prepared himself for large success, both
at Yale, and afterWard, by the simple
fact that he cared for so many kinds of
men. There were others in his class who
were more brilliant; there were others
who were more tenacious of purpose;
there were others who were more skillful
in adapting means to ends. But there was
no one else in the whole class whose well
fare was a matter Of concern to every
body as was his. for the simple reason
that everybody elses welfare was a mat
ter Of concern 10 him.
For this sort Of preparation for poll
ties a college furnishes an unrivaled field.
Nowhere viii you have the chance to
meet SO many kinds Of men and know
them so intimately, He who utiliZes
this opportunity has learned thoroughly
the first lesson Of politics. lie who neg

things he may have learned, has missed
that first lesson; ana he will have 70

Homemade InstItutIOn without the
Pink Coat accompaniment.

From Recreation.
A Kentucky fox hunt. when il en-
bodies all Of its features. IS a home
made institution. as are. in fact, those
Of its neighbOring Southern States.
The hunt may be by day or It may be
by night. Both styles have their dew
otees. Cross-cOuntry riding recon-
mends the day chase: the night lends a
charm to a close race that Is inde-
scribable.
There are hundreds Of keen. sue
cessful fox hunters in the South-men
who are known by the hounds they
keep-who give no thought to the rid
ing feature OF the chase. but who can,
as far as sound can carry, tell you
what hound is doing his work and
what hound is not.
This is one OF the great joys OF the
night hunt The man who has never
turned his back TO a bed Of red Goals,
peered out into the night while the
dew about him CONCEALED into a frost
end listened to a sterling race hour
after hour has never Iived-wholly.
Under favorable conditions and in the
vast stiffness OF the night you have but
to close your eyes. when there comes
to you from the dark, silent woods the
melodious cry of the pack a mile, two
miles, possibly but few hundred
yards away. and see in detail such a
picture as cannot be put on canvas
Your ears are tuned TO an accom-
panying chorus that the grand organ
cannot duplicate-if you have the
know. If you feel IL. if you have the
love Of the chase Unborn.
Contrary to many well-fOunded be-
liefs and customs. this is fox hunting
high ground fox hunting. No pink teas
at the club house afterward, no dis
cussion as TO the relative merits OF
jumpers, but a cold lunch from your
/ hunting coat pocket and a closer and
deeper understanding of the hounds in

ANTELOPE HERDS IN COLORADO.

From the Beaver Republican.
Railroad men running into Denver on
the prairie lines from the East say that
antelope are becoming so plentiful in the
vicinity Of Fort Morgan. Wray. Brush.
and Akron that herds of from thirty TO
fifty are no uncommon sight, and many
OF them have become so tame that they
race along the railroad tracks for miles.
The law against the killing Of ante
lopes contains a clause allowing their be-
ing hunted from October 10 to October
. in 1907. for the first time in several
years. During the past few years the
antelope have been increasing rapidly.
They frequent the neighborhood Of the
smaller towns. and many families in Fort
Morgan have captured young antelope
and raised them as pets. They have also
increased in the South. Middle, and North
parks. although they frequent the prairies
more than the mountains.
1t is said that the cactus covered plains

Colorado furnish the best adapted place

FLEET WINS FIRST ROUND

Sandy Hook y. j.. July 11-Theoretically. Fort

senced 1t the opening of the war game be-

The boats which formed it managed to get by the
forts, steamed into the bay back of 1t and opened
up fire that. had il come from big guns with
fun service charges would have been most damag-
ing Ten shots were fired before the battery got
in working order at all. and one - the smaller
vessels steamed to within few feet OF an old
wharf the upper end of the reservation.
Just how the fleet came TO get by, when It was
known that an attack TO he made at O'Clock
is hard understand There is full view of the
bay from the fort. and the only way 10 account
for the fleet getting in the fact that it was
slightly foggy.
Some time tonight there Will be another attack
made by the fleet, when the reservation Will be
guarded by the battalion under Major &. w
