Gentlemen
l have this day witnessed a double test of your Minimax fire
extingusher, conducted by your representative, Mr.. Charles Italie.
The test proved beyond a doubt that your extinguisher will
put out fire even when caused by highly combustable materials,
such as dry goods boxes, filled with kindling and excelsior soaked
in kerosene. The vat of burning tar which was a huge undertake
ing for one of your little extnguishers, was quickly disposed of
and brought forth much merited applause from the large assem-
blage who witnessed the test. Yours truly,

CUbANs HOPING
FOR THE BEST

HAVANA, March 14.-While the
Cuban republic has not been one of
achievement, it has at least not been
marked by an incident calculated to
confirm the prediction that the expert
ment of Cuban self-government was
destined to speedy failure. On the
other hand the government of Gen.
Gomez has still to present assurances
of its ability wisely and firmly to di-
rect the destinies of the island. Cubans
of all parties seem determined to for
get their political differences and pull
together to avoid another American in
PREVENTION.
At the close of the provisional gov
eminent one prominent American Off
cial expressed the belief that the Gomez
administration would collapse within
three months; but he added that if it
survived that it probably would en-
dure indefinitely.
A discouraging feature of the con-
gressional session is the multiplicity of
trivial measures. Among these were
bills to reseind the military orders of
the first intervention against cock
fights and bull fights; to establish ma
tional lottery and to change the name
Of the revenue cutter service to that
of the Cuban navy. The general am
nesty bill. which was signed by Gen.
Gomez few days ago, gave liberty to
hundreds of eonvicts throughout the re-
public, all but the perpetrators of the
most atrocious crimes being included in
its provisions.
One of the most recent amendments
which was accepted by the house grave
" declares that all "homicides and sui
eides'' except those serving life sem
fences for a second offense, shall be in
eluded in the amnesty.

NEW SECRET ARY
WILL COME WEST

WASHINGTON, D. c., March H.
1t is said Secretary Ballinger, of the
interior department, is planning an ex-
tended trip this summer which will en-
able him to make personal inspection
of various government irrigation prof.
ects in the west, particularly those
completed or nearing completion. He
will probably also visit several impor-
tant Indian schools and reservations.
He is arranging this trip to familiarize
himself on the ground with the two
branches of his department concerning
which his present knowledge is ineom-
plete. /.
Ii time permits, Mr.. Ballinger will
also visit Alaska, but the probabilities
are that this trip will be postponed for
another year. When land commissioner
he made tour of inspection of the
local land offices and is thoroughly IA
miliar with that branch of his depart
ment.
