and good administration to the island.
. With eagerness they read the papers
about the protectorate and translate
them into Suanish, circulating them
from one end Of Cuba to the other,
but they show greatest indignation
every time a declaration comes from
Washington or Governor Magoon about
the possibility of the country being
turned over again to the politicians
that. have brought SO much trouble
since 1902.
Every statement from the liberal
factions (and this is the only thing
in which General Gomez friends agree
with Senator Zayas) about the pledges
they say Secretary Taft made to them
last fall bring bitter reflections against
the American government from peace
loving Cubans and from many foreign
ers whose large interests would be in
SO much danger under pure Cuban
republic without American control.
This accounts for the charges re-
Gently made against Palma for having
paid two millions in Cuban bonds, &C.
cording to his own statement, for the
recognition of the independence of
Cuba in 1898, and for the current be-
lief that the American government
was fooled again by the Cubans in
1904, in the matter of the 5000, 900
loan, obtaining from President Roose-
welt an indirect guarantee that made
the issue of that loan possible, in
ducing European capitalists to partic-
ipate in the underwriting.
To prove this, copies are in cir
culation of prospectus for the loan,
issued by Speyer Brothers in London,
May 81, 1904, containing a letter from
Secretary Hay which gave official con-
sent Of the president of the United
States to the loan of the Republic of
Cuba.
Without this aid, it is said here.
Palma would have been unable to
raise such large amount for Cuba,
and much less when the loan was not
intended for public improvements or
any work producing revenues. but
merely to pay the salaries of the Cub
an soldiers, who, it is asserted, fought
against the Spanish government from
1895 to 1898.
The story OF the Cuban soldiers
claims is that no sooner was the in
tention declared by the American gov
eminent of turning the island over to
the Cuban administration on May 20,
1902, than the so-valled veterans" of
Cuba's independence announced that
the new republic should pay them
their salaries. Meetings of threaten
ing character were held in Havana for
that purpose in 1902 and representa-
tives were made to the elected author

Held a Session on Tuesday
Evening.

At the meeting Of the city council
Tuesday evening, all but one member
was present, Alderman Wesberg be-
ing unable to attend. The regular
grist of bills We're allowed, and the
reports of officers made.
The ordinances, which the council
has before them did not come up last
night, but on Thursday evening they
will be taken up. Alderman Wesberg
will be able to attend that session.
In his report, DR.. j. v. Gilberg, city
health officer recommended that the
pest house be moved and put into san
itary condition. The matter was re-
ferred to the public improvement COM
mittee. The pest house, in it's pres
ent condition, is not safe place, ac-
cording to DR.. Gilbert in which to
keep patients. His report showed that
during the last month, there had been
three cases of small poX, one of which
was taken to the Grand Forks deten-
ton hospital. The matter was referr-
ed to the public improvement COM
mittee.
The council instructed City Recor-
der German to notify the Northern
Pacific to establish a light at their
crossing on North Second street.
Three petitions, asking abatement
of taxes were filed. They were from
r. E. Hatch, o. B. Dahl and James
Hadlon.
The bond of Pete Peterson to fur
nish the city with $4,000 feet of elm
lumber was approved.
The bond of James Blackbird as
city scavanger was also filed and ap-
proved.
In his report, Chief Sullivan of the
fire department called the attention of
the council to the fact that the city
is without fire department team. It
is probable that some horses will be
purchased.

keeping open twenty-four hours every
business day, following the example
of New York bank that has set out
to do business both day and night.

been offered after the usual banking

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MARCH 6. 1907.

a. M. to 3 p. IN. To an outsider this
looks like the tactics of the, famous
dog in the manager, but. however that
may be, the Third National will keep
its standing in the Clearing House
association by abandoning it's night
business. This has led the Baltimore
Trust and Guarantee company to an-
nounce that its banking rooms will
be kept open at night. Additional
clerks will be engaged for the night
work. The company does not pro-
pose to keep open all night. the idea
being to do business until 10 o'clock;
but it is said that the company will
probably be open later than this. or
as late as conditions warrant. For
mer Postmaster General James A.
Gary is one of the directors of the
company and the president is B. n.
Baker, who says he believes that
there should be some place in Balti-
more where money may be deposited
and checks cashed after the usual
banking hours. The Baltimore Trust
and Guarantee company attracted
considerable local attention a short
time ago by announcing a plan by
which its depositors are to be per-
mitted to share in it's profits to a
limited extent. These things show
that even in so conservative a bust
ness as banking there are such things
as changes and fashions.

fatiguing even for men in rugged
health. He has made himself con-

for his fellow-Ohioan and fellow-C Gin
