Members of Lifeboat Crew Praised
for Zeal and Ability.

H. NJ Bair. boatswain's mate. and other
members Of the lifeboat crew of the L.
S. S. Maryland have been personally
commended by the Secretary of the Navy
for their praiseworthy zeal and ability"
in recovering target RATS from the shore
at Imperial Beach, Cal. during a storm.
From the official report it appears that
heavy sea was running and 1t was found
impossible to get the lifeboat ashore
through the heavy breakers. 1t was de-
cided to send man through the surf
with a line to be attached to the tar
get.
Every man in the lifeboat volunteered
for the work, but Bair was chosen be-
cause of his ability as a swimmer. The
life line was attached to a five-inch line
and fastened to Bair, who was equipped
with life belt. After swimming about
1J0 yards through the breakers Bair got
ashore and attached the line to the raft.
He then got aboard the raft and was
hauled clear of the surf. A lifeboat was
then sent out and brought him to the
ship.

HAVANA, Cuba. May l, 1872


IL IL were rash to predict the outcome
of the elections of the United States in
November it would be hundred times
more daring to risk a prophecy con-
corning the Cuban elections that are to
be held about the same time. While 1t is
true that in Cuba there are only two big
political parties. the internecine warfare
in one is so bitter and there are so many
non-party issues affecting both that there
Is no basis upon which to build an order
ly or logical forecast.
1t is not so difficult to feel out the
sense of the public with respect to that
candidate held to be best fitted to sue
coed to the presidency in the present sit
uation OF Cuban affairs. The nominee of
the conservative party is Gen. Mario
Menocal. He is the manager OF the Cha
para sugar estate, the largest sugar
plantation in the word. The fact that
this estate is owned by American iner-
ests and tina, il has a capacity OF half a
million bags of sugar year may have
something TO do with the fact that Amer
leans so readily discover that Menocal is
so nearly an ideal man for president.
Gen. Menocal is a veteran of the war
of independence and stands so well
among his countrymen that Americans
in Cuba are fond OF saying that even the
liberals admit that he is en- honest man
The foreign element in Cuba agrees that
lie Is the best example of good citizen
snip that the Cuban people have TO offer
lie certainly would not be opposed by
the American sugar trust. which has a
large interest IN the course OF Cuban
politics.

than Zayas or Asbert But, on the other
hand, 1t Is said that he fears that the
election of Menocal might mean a deep
investigation Of his administration. He
is said to share the general belief that
Menocal were to become president he

administration certainly would throw out
