For a healthy home there is one
first and essential requirement-name-

of people were bad they would furnish
a high death rate, no matter in what
houses they lived. Sunlight is almost
as valuable as fresh air in regenera-
tive value, and the sunny side of the
street is preferable to he other.

Havana.-It is felt generally here
that Cuba is approaching a crisis in
it's history as a republic. Two serious
questions occupy the public mind:
Can Cuba survive the present state
of her finances?
Can she hold an honest and orderly
election for the presidency, with a
loyal submission of the defeated party
to the will of the majority?
That the treasury is empty; that
the last dollar of the SIG, 500, 900 Spey-
er loan has been spent while the work
of building sewers and paving Ha-
vana, the principal purpose for which
the plan was authorized by the United
States, is not finished and is in danger
of interruption if not of abandonment;
that the government is at it's wits end
to find money to meet its vast expen-
ditures, while receipts from customs
and the lottery have reached their
lowest point-all this is asserted by
the enemies of the government, and
most of it is frankly admitted.
ray Dill OHucT fTcSSuTC.
Last month the government default
ed for the first time on the account
due the seweripg and paving contrac-
tors for work done in July amounting
to about 1920, 900. The government
declared it found itself unable to meet
the bill simply because it had no more
money. Contractors appealed to the
American legation and sufficient
pressure was brought to bear to con-
vince the government that payment
vas imperative. The following day
the money was forthcoming.
There has been much speculation as
to whether the government will be
able to satisfy the claims of the con
tractors due at the end of this month,
but there are indications that Presi-
dent Gomez, realizing fully the peril
of another default, has made an extra
ordinary effort and will be prepared to
meet the obligation and thus tide over
the crisis for another month.
The press continues to be filled
pessimistic articles bewailing the fl
nancial and political perils that beset
the republic. Careful estimates show
that the Gomez administration has
spent during it's two and a half years
at least $40, 900, 1000. Reports declare
that the only hope for Cuba lies in cut
ting down her expenses at least 80 per
cent.

The present aspect of the political
situation appears to justify reasonable
expectations that General Mario Men

May Land Marines.

The embassy was authorized by the
administration at Washington to en-
ploy whatever means were considered
necessary to bring out an ameliora-
ton of Nichols condition.
Ambassador Wilson declares he will
secure his release even if it should
become necessary to land marines
from the United States cruiser Des
Moines which is now in port at Tam
pico, with $50 marines aboard.
The American ambassador regards
the treatment accorded Nichols by the
Mexican authorities as persecution,
and has so stated in his message to
the governor. In support of this belief
he points to the fact hat a Mexican
has confessed in court to being the
slayer of Caballos. This confession
was disregarded by the court, which
declared it was prompted by belief
on the part of the witness hat a re-
ward had been offered for Caballos,
dead or alive.
The Mexican was not arrested and
the process against Nichols was con
tinued on an appeal from the sentence
of eight years Imprisonment imposed
upon Nichols by the Tampico court
The appeal is being heard before the
court at Ciudad Victoria, the state
capital.

bassador reminded him that his mes
