prosperity such as had mover been
known came TO the new nation. At tho
beginning Of tho American occupation
tho national treasury was bankrupt and
the national credit was below estima-
ton. When the relns Of government
were nut into the hands OF the officers
OF the new republic there was a con-
siderable surplus, Millions had been
collected and expended on public inn
provenonts by the provisional govern
ment but no indebtedness had been In
Cured. Cuba had emerged from her
financial disability and was ON a re-
sbectablo commercial footing
But Il Is prosperity that has
brought her more pain than Joy. Tho
time Dame when so much money had
been brought into the island by Ameri-
cans that they had greater vested
rights than the Cubans. The native
citizens began to think that II was
time TO show an active opposition to
a CONQUEST by dollars, which hade fair
TO result In absolute control. Hostility
to Americans became apparent in all
quarters, and the press OF the Island
encouraged Il. The average Cuban was
convinced that an unfair advantage
was being taken by those who stepped
in with capital and brains and reapod
a large harvest. There was good
deal shld and written about the native
being robbed by Yankee tricks.
Antl-American sentiment spread rap
idly. A Cuban senator introduced a
bin I'd prevent foreigners from hold
ing title TO Cuban land. 1t was de-
feated, but It took a good deal OF
American influence TO kill II. An at
ternpt was made to negotiate a treaty
with England WHICH would have been
severe blow to American commerce.
THAT. too, met with defeat, but II re-
auired the united American strength in
the island to accomplish IL. Tho po-
lltlcal element took infinite pains to
show its independence, and there was
n howl of dissent whenever mention
was made of any obligation to the
United states.
Finally the Cubans settled down 10
the belief that they had the SpnniardS
whipped before the Americans came TO
their aid and that only General CallXto
Garcia and his native troops saved tho
istration was assaied on all sides.
President Palma was accused openly
of being a tool OF the American inhu-
once. His long residence In the states.
according to one OF his political ira
ducers, has made him one of the ae-
cursed race"
That Is the situation that Uncle Sam
has been called upon to face. Ameri-
can interests in the island are so great
that IL IS morally impossible TO refuse
protection, and the breaking out and
spread OF the old hankerng for law
lessness have made it necessary II Is
not so much a question OF what Cuba
has cost the United States as Of what
It win cost her IL the lawless element

need not be any fear.
For many years physicians have pre-
Scribed malt extracts, which contain a
large percentage of maltese. or malt
sugar. Malta-Vita, the crisp delicious
whole wheat food, contains from eight
to ten per cent of maltese.
Malta-Vita, on account of its large
percentage of maltese, is easily digesti-
