LET UNCLE SAM STAY IN CUBA
Only solutiOn Of Problem is for United
States to Remain in Charge
SUCH IS STATEMENT or JOHN /. WEBSTER
omaha Man Returns from Havana
Where He, wife and Daughter
Enjoyed Remarkable So
ciRl Distinction.

John l.. Webster, who, with Mrs. Web
ster and daughter, has been in Cuba for
several weeks, returned to Omaha Sunday
Mrs. webster and Miss Webster remaining
In Havana. for the winter. Mr. Webster
says he IL thoroughly convinced the only
solution of the Cuban situation is for the
United States TO remain In charge of the
government under some system.
Through the courtesies OF General and
Mrs Whit, Lieutenant General Young, Cen
eral and Mrs. Bates. General Crowder and
Governor Magoon all Of whom are well
known in Omaha, our stay in Havana was
made most pleasant and was one continual
round of social entertainments, said Mr..
Webster.
Havana IL a quaint and interesting city
and its winter climate is unsurpassed. To
my mind It compares favorably with Naples
and Sorrento. The harbor is filled with
war vessels and ocean-going steamers.
Moro and Cabana stand out In high prom
inence and are looked at with historic and
picturesque interest. Boulevard Melecon is
a beautiful drive along the seashore, with
the surf constantly breaking over the rocks
on one side Of the street and line of resi-
dences on the opposite side. The breeze
which comes from the sea during the day
makes the climate delightful and invigorat-
ing. The temperature is about what we
have in Omaha In the last of June. summer
clothing being worn by all people, white
duck suits and straw hats being common.
Havana has remarkably clean streets,
which are thoroughly cleaned every day.
Commercial Interest Growing.
THE commercial interests of Havana are
constantly growing. All the people need is
security for property rights to make Ha-
vana a large commercial center. The ship
ping daily observant In the harbor indi-
Gates foreign commercial activity, and the
island can be made more productive than
IT is today by proper cultivation by skilled
men. Large areas have not been Guilt
waited or improved and all that is needed
is the substitution of American blood and
enterprise for the native Cubans to make
an island of great wealth.
81 feel sure of one thing and that is, If
the American army should be retired from
Cuba there would be another revolution
within year. The reason is manifest. II
a new government Is organized on the
basis Of universal suffrage the native Cuban
Will como into control and white people
and property owners will be nstigators OF
an instruction, On the other hand, IL the
government IL turned over TO the whites
and the Cubans are deprived of the spoils
|. of office. they will move to establish a new
government. / arrive at this speculation
from opinions heard expressed by various
people with whom l talked.
This leads me to the conclusion that the
best thing for Cuba, both for the people
and for commercial interests, is for th'
United States in some manenr or form Il
manage the government, as that is the
only way to secure permanent peace ant
property security"

SOLONS VISIT THE ASYLUM
Delegation from State Legislature Spends
Day at Norfolk.
SUPERINTENDENT YOUNG TELLS OF NEEDS
In Typewriter Statement He shows
Eighty-seven Thousand Dollars
f. Required for New
Buildings.

NORFOLK, Neb.. Jan 2.-(special)-
over a dozen state Legislators Of Nebraska
visited the Norfolk insane hospital during
the day for the purpose Of recommending
an appropriation with an understanding Of
the institutions needs. Dr. G. A. Young,
the new superintendent, gave to each Of
the visitors a typewriter statement Of
what he considered needed by the institu-
ton. 1t calls for an appropriation of $3.50
FOR new buildings
DIR. Young says q new hospital, for the
acute female cases is needed. This, 1t Is
estimated. would cost 10000. 1t would be
unlike either the cottages or the new re-
constructed west wing. but would resemble
the wing. new cottage for the male
chronic cases is needed, which would cost
$4,000. A new stable, capable of caring
for thoroughbred stock, in order that a
large quantity and good quality of milk
may be had. is needed. This would cost
1880
The institution is now so crowded that
dormltories for the female patients are
being fitted up in the attics of cottages
and there in the garrets these unfortu-
mates sleep, because the state has not pro-
vided more room. Dining rooms in the
cottages are being made into dormitories,
ments and the heating plants. which were
in the cellars are being concentrated into
one main heating plant.
There are at present forty patients from
northern Nebraska in the Lincoln hospital
who ought to be I'm Norfolk, because they
came originally from this hospital and
were transferred to Lincoln at the time of
the fire There never has been enough
room here for the return of those forty
patients to their own hospital. Their fami-
lies want them here. that they may visit
them more easily
The institution now has a capacity for
$50 patients. The natural rate of increase
would bring 40 more above the sixty to
leave in the next two years and this, with
the forty brought back from Lincoln, would
make 400 by the time the next legislature
meets Lincoln has asked for a new build
ing, but DR.. Young contends that IL the
forty from Lincoln are returned, the claim
OF Lincoln for a new building will be in
validated
DR.. Young and other insane hospital
authorities are much in favor of a bill pro-
viding that each insane hospital in the
state care for its own acute cases, which
would change the Hastings asylum from
one for the incurable to one like that at
Lincoln or here.

ROCK ISLAND GETS MAIL

FIRST BREAK IN TWENTY YEAS
BY This Change Mail from Chicago

Hour Earlier Than
Before

From and after January "a the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific Railway company
will carry the fast mail between Chicago
and Omaha, which for twenty years has
been the exclusive prerogative of the Chi

This is the first break the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy has had in its ex-
elusive fast mail service between Chicago
and Omaha for twenty years. The result
will be that the Chicago mail will now
reach Omaha at 7:2O a, m. over the Rock
Island instead of at $40 over the Burling-
ton, and will be in Omaha in time for the
second morning delivery by carriers.
Only Two Clerks Involved.
Clerks Stribling and Hurst were appointed
several months ago from the Omaha post
Office as special railway postal clerks to
distribute the Omaha mail enroute from
Chicago to Omaha on the fast mail, in
order that there might be no delay in dis
tributing the mail after its arrival in
Omaha, thus avoiding a second handling
of the early mail after its arrival in the
Omaha postoffice, 1t being in shape for i'm
mediate delivery to the carriers for imme-
date delivery the routes.
1t Is not known whether the remainder
Of the mail west from Chicago will be
given by the new contract to the Rock
Island or not. That is a matter of great
interest just now. The Burlington is bend
ing every effort to save this, the bulk of
the traffic. The Rock Island, on the other
hand, is equally industrious In seeking to
get 1t away from the Hill road.

Deputy Sheriff Iachnit of Columbus was

citizens went directly to the farm and sur
rounded the house. Shortly they saw Koop
leave the house and go to the barn, and
this being their opportunity they made a
rush for the crazed man. and just as he
was returning to the house grabbed him in
time to keep him from getting hold of his
gun, which stood just inside the door, and
overpowered him.
Koop fought like demon. but was finally
handcuffed, brought to town, and is now
safe behind the bars. Koop is no doubt
crazy, as he has been acting queerly for
some time. He seems to have it in his
head that someone is trying to steal his
money, which he has planted in various
parts of his farm. Deputy Sheriff Lachnit
