ELECTION Of TAFT
PLEASES CUBANS
Bishop Knight Tells of Con-
dition and Hopes of
Islanders.
MAJORITY FAVORS
FREE GOVERNMENT
Says Prosperity in Cuba Is Fol-
lowing Wave Sweeping Over
United States.

"Cuba was made happy by the seIec-
ticn by the people of the United States
OF Judge Taft for President" said the
Rt Rev. Albion w. Knight, Episcopal
bishop OF Cuba and OF the Canal Zone,
who is in Washington on a visit
"a majority Of the people OF the
island" said the bishop this morning.
undoubtedly favor a free and indie
pendent government. with the moral
support OF the United States. The
Island Is ia a prosperous condition and
Is rejecting the prosperity wave that
is following in the wake Of the cleo
ton Of Judge Taft. Until two years
ago the island was enjoying an I'M
usual share Of prosperity, but at about
that time conditions became quiet, and
while business has been good, T. was not
good enough To attract wide notice.
Future of Cuba.
In the last few months things have
been booming, however. I fee. safe in
predicting a bright and promising future
for Cuba. With its great natural re-
sources and its fertile soil. the island
with good government good manage
ment. and sufficient capital, cannot help
but prosper. English and American
capital has come into the island in
flood, and many great industries are
being doomed. Most OF this capital is
turned toward agricultural products,
and Cuba is already a great fruit pro-
ducing center.
The Cuban people are for the most
part cOntented and happy, and they are
looking forward TO a complete Telln-
quishment OF the Government of the
United States. Conditions in the Isle of
Pines have settled down, and SO far as
know, this little island is enjoying
peace and prosperity.
Sanitation.
las for the sanitary conditions in the
island" said the bishop. why il is a
health resort. My health has been much
bettr since 7 have been there, and 1
can say the same of Panama. The con-
tagiOus diseases that once were a
scourge are now but little known. and
think that Cuba is as healthy as any
locality IN the United States"
This evening Bishop Knight viii adj
dress the Churchman'S League in meet
ing at the Highlands on The Future
OF Cuba" After the meeting he will
leave for New York, and Thursday will
sail for Panama. there TO resume his

FRENCH SOLDIERS BURDEN.

Important changes are to be adopt ed in the French army with view to Tightening the weight carried by the foot soldier in the form of dress, equipment and food This weight at present varies between 5S 15 and 61 1-5 pounds, and it is to be re duced to trifle over , forty-four pounds. At the present time a sol dier five feet in height has to carry load equal to half his own weight. though load equal to :, quarter of its weight is considered sufficient for a horse to carry.
 The question of Tightening the foot soldiers burden has been under study since 1903, and the result ot the tests made has just been put into practice at the autumn maneuvers where the ninth division of infantry was equipped with the lighter ous- fit. The war department imposed two conditions---first, that the maxi mum weight borne should not eX- ceed forty-tour pounds: and, second, that foot soldier should have at his disposition 200 cartridges and two days reserve rations.
 These conditions have been full filled by dividing a soldiers neces- saries into two fairly equal parts, one to be carried by the man, the other by wagons. Weight has been saved by suppressing the tunic and vest aud replacing them by single gar ment of pilot coat style.
 Buttons have been reduced to ? minimum in number The black rigid sack is to be replaced by a supple sack. Its contents will be limited to shirt, cap, shoes for resting and one days rations, and outside will be an aluminium cooking pot. Thus weight of sixteen pounds will be reduced to less than s 4 pounds
 Only one days rations will be car ried. and from these will he elim- mated the rice and beans, which need soaking for hours before eating. Their place will be taken by more sugar and coffee.
 The second days rations will be carried by, the transport. Each man will carry SS cartridges. the 112 oth- CTS being carried by ammunition carts.
 One drawback to the new arrange ment will be the number of transport carts and horses it will require, which will amount to forty-fiye ye- hicles and eighty-nine horses for a regiment on d war footing.
