next July, but the decision to do so is only tentative. Whether the de- cision is to be carried into effect or not will depend upon the conditions as they are found by the Adminis- tration at that time. Every encour- agement will be given to the Cubans to establish a stable government, for it is well understood that ne1th- CT President Roosevelt nor Secre- tary Taft desires to extend the American occupation, but they do not propose to leave the island until they are assured that riot and revo- lutiOn will not be precipitated on the island government that may be established.

Washington, D. G., March D. One of the most serious problems confronting the National Adminis- tration is the situation in Cuba. The people of the island are divided into factions and torn by violent dissen sions. That they are incapable, nm der present conditions, of self-goy- ernment is daWning on the minds of American statesmen, but just what the duty of Aemrica is toward them is a question yet unsolved.
 The Cubans theselves have a pride in self-government, but the better class of them believe that it would be the better policy for the United States to maintain a protee- torate over the island, perhaps for a considerable time. In a way, this opinion is voiced by the Havana Post, in discussing the suggested in crease of the Rural Gaurd of Cuba to 10000 men. The Post says:
 The proposition to increase to f0,09o the army of Cuba will be as full of peril to Cuba today as ii would be to arm the Moros in the philippines with modern firearms. | will mean war and bloody iiot If they undertook to increase the army in the United States in pro- portion it would make an armE of 240, 1000. Would the people stand for such 8 thing2 Let Congress try if and see"
 This proposition to, increase the Rural Guard has met with violent opposition from the conservative cl- i emcuts of the islands population. 1 Temporarily, at least, the plan has 1 been abandoned. partly because ol the expense in carrying it into eX- ecution, but principally because ol a doubt aa to the loyalty of troops recruited under present conditions l No doubt exists that there is 2

AUTO TAX WAR.

New York, March 5.-A new suit is today before the board of United States general appraisers to compel the government to return to it's former practice of assessing automobiles and their tires at diff ferent rates of duty, and not as en- tireties. Ever since the importation of automobiles began, the customs authorities classified the machines and tires separately up to last sum- mer. when orders were issued to tax both the cars and tires as en- tireties under the metal schedule of the Dingley tariff, with duty at the rate of ) per cent ad yalorem. This requirement was met at once with strenuous opposition from the importers, but their influence was not sufficient to bring about re- versal of the order. The importers were notified that if the automo piles and the tires were entered on separate invoices the articles would be accorded separate classification. This condition is not regarded as satisfactory for the reason that, al- though many cars are brought ill with tires unattached there is no
 certainty that the ultimate pur- chaser will buy the tires accompany ing the machines. In the second place it is not considered feasible to have two distinct sets of invoices made out for the entry of the auto- mobiles and tires. Another point made by the importers in favor of segregating the articles for dutiable purposes is the fact that tire fac tories and auto factories are sepa- ! rate plants as a rule. Since last summer hundreds of thousands worth of imported cars and tires have been entered at this port, most ! of which have been assessed as en- tireties. The Auto Import Go. fig

RAILWAY BUILDING
 BOOMING ARKANSAS
Many New Lines Are Proposed By Capitalists in Northern Portion
 of tile State.

Fayetteville, Ark, Mar. 4.-lf cer- tain transportation facilities, proposed for this section. are carried to sue cessful issue, Fayetteville will soon rival Fort Smith as commercial center, and North Arkansas will be one of the richest sections in the Union.
 The first of these roads will be line from Eurdka Springs to Pryor Creek, l. T., where connection will be made with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas. This line, which will be known as the Missouri, Kansas and Texas will have capital stock of $3,000, ,0OO.
 The Rogers Southwestern will be absorbed, and construction on the new line has already ben begun. l.. Williams, of this city Is vice pres ident of the company, and w. R. Felker is president
 Banker J. R. Harris, also of Fay etteville, is one of the chief promot- CTS of another line of much import ance locally Definite information in regard to this line, however has not yet been given out.
 4OO-Nlile Extension.
 Of more importance still to their section as a whole is the Missouri and North Arkansas. This line, which has been under discussion for several years, will be an extension of the road from Seligman, Mo-, to Leslie, Ark. The extension will be about 100 miles in length and will cost about $6,000000.
 The now terminus will be at Helena, Ark, where connection will be made with the Illinois Central. There will also be connections with the Choctaw division of the Rock Island, the main line of the Frisco and with the Iron Mountain and Santa Fe
 Besides all these roads it is very probable that the company headed by J. C. Bonnell industrial agent of tFie Frisco, will put in Q system of intreurban lines connecting the principal cities of North Arkansas and South Missouri. This company is composed almost entirely of East ern capitalists.
 These new roads will add mil lions of dollars to the wealth of North Arkansas. In this section but little effort is now made to mine coal, although the mineral of a fairly good grade is known to exist here in almost unlimited quan- titie,.
 The proposed roads would also give a great impetus to the zinc industry, which has already begun to assume an important position. Experts have said that the Arltan- sas fields, both in quantity of pro- auction and purity of mineral. arc second to none on earth.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

powerful element in Cuba which fa- vors not merely a protectOrate of the United States over the island government, but absolute annexa- tion of the island to the American Government. The advocates of an nexation maintain that only through annexation will it be possible to es- tablish an absolutely stable and ef- ticient government on the island. This feeling is voiced in a statement made today by careful observer of Cuban affairs.
 No doubt exists as to the grow ing sentiment among the intelligent and progressive Cubans in favor of permanent American control of the islands affairs. A protectorate, un- der which the American Govern ment would exercise supervision of Cuban matters is advocated by some, but by far the greater num- ftI ol CbilSCi ctliHc lil illiihCIo bSiINF V that absolute annexation of Cuba to the United States is the only gcnu- inc solution of the trouble which nov faces us They urge that the destiny of Cuba is coupled with that of Porto Rico aud that the United States ought 10 proceed along the same lines toward Cuba as it follow cd in Porto Rico.

DEsERTIoNs IN THE ARMY.
The InspectorGeneraI Gives the Prin
cipaI Reasons After a Special
Inquiry.

Inquiry.
The annual report of the inspector
general of the army, gives the results
Of special inquiry which that depart
ment has made into the question OF
desertions in the army. The princi-
pal reasons for the large percentage
Of desertions were found TO be as fol-
lows:
Lack OF permanency Of commanders
of companies; shifting command per-
sonnel with the regiment and the de-
terioration of the regimental spirit;
tyrannical sergeants; inability of some
recruits TO submit to the severe dis
cipline of the army; insufficient pay.
III the first enlistment were for one
year the inspector-general says. deser-
tions would almost disappear and re-
cruiting would be facilitated He al
so urges larger pay for the enlisted
men and an increase in the number OF
infantry organizations
Discussing the lack OF appreciation
of the army by the public in times of
peace, the report says:
The American people refuse to be
scared over the possibility of war and
the gospel of preparedness receives
scant attention. When we contem-
plate the humiliating shocks that may
be inflicted on our national pride in
the first clashes OF arms with the land
forces of any other first class power
we could wish that more heed we're
given to the lessons of the past and
the warnings of the future. What COM
munity will now rely on a volunteer
fire department if they can afford to
maintain a paid organization? A
strong first line of defence would gain
time for the mastering of our latent
forces, but we find ourselves unable to
fill the ranks OF the first line"

Rooted in British Soil.

A patriot soldier OF the neighbor-
hood named Culbertson, who subse-
quently became a captain, was at
the time acting as a scout to Shelby's
command, and while gathering infor.
nation before the action he came sud
denly upon a British dragoon, far
from support, who was eating a peach.
Both were startled by the meeting
and the Britisher swallowed the fruit,
stone and all, and reached for his
gun. A shooting match ensued. The
dragoon perished in the duel and was
hastily buried by the scout in a shall
low hole. Visiting the grave next
year, Culbertson found a peach tree
growing from 1t, and 'he>boasted OF liv.
ing to enjoy fruit rooted in British
soil, and fertilized by his adversary.
The story, We may add, is Culbert-
sons very own. But who shall say
that the patriot army lacks construc.
tive notwithstanding.
