AUTO OVER 30

Gar Wrecked in Pelham Manor, But Chauffeur Is Only Slightly Hurt.

White Plains, N. F., Jan. 30.--An au- tomobile which Albert W. Loose, a chauffeur, was driving along the Bos- ton Post road in Pelham Manor yes terday got beyond his control and went over a thirty-foot enbankment. Loose hung on to the steering wheel with both hands and escaped with couple of cuts on his head and an injured leg.
 The automobile was practically ruin- ed. It was the property of J. K. Rob- inson. formerly of Baltimore, who moved into house in Pelham Manor Thursday. It had been used only a few weeks.
 Loose said he was not going faster than ten miles an hour, but several who saw him thought he was making thirty miles. He said the steering gear broke and the machine went for seventy-five feet along the top of an embankment before making the plunge. It turned clear over and the wheels spun around in the air. Chief of Po- lice Marks hurried to the scene and found the chauffeur crawling out from under.

CUBANs AGAIN RULE CUBA

What other nation would do as the United States has twice done in con- lleetion with Cuba, turned it over to it's own people after controlling it ab- solnfely and while abundantly able to make such control permanent? And this too when the island is so near our own coast as to be practically contig- uons, when it's position and proximity are such as to make it's possession all most vital to this country in case of war with foreign power. and when probable majority of the American people would approve it's annexation.
 Yet this has been done, in fulfilment of q promise. The control of the isl- ana was turned over for the second time on Thursday to a government chosen by the Cuban people. Whether this sacrifice of self-interest in fully appreciated by them may be doubted.
 There arc, however, certain specific conditions which nnust be observed by the. cubans They must com piete III contracts for sanitations upon which may depend. the exemp toin of our Southern cities from the Importation of yellow fever; there must be no debt increase which might put the inland under the virtual control of foreign bondholders, and the claims of Cuban soldiers which would, in view of the many attempts to throw off the spanish yoke. aggregate an immense amoulnt and crush the island with debt, must not be recognized.
 There may also be some unexpress- ed conditions, one of them being ab- stention from the revolutionary habit, and anotter, a refusal to enter into entansiing European alliances.
 Cuba must ;;''pull straight. and deal fairly at least with the nation which 'has proved itself the islands best friend It may be added that fore sighted Cubans do not themselves ex-, pect that these conditions will be full filled. for any great length of time. Al disputed or a close election may at any time initiate >an outbreak which would necessitate another American intervention.
