CARIBBEAN POLITICS.
VIII-CUBAN FINANCES.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

nels While substantial public improve
ments have been made, they are said to
have cost entirely too much. Some idea
of how financial matters are handled in
Cuba may be gathered from a statement
as to the disposal of some old iron by the
government. Bids were called for the
sale of this old material, and the highest
bid received was $1.40 a ton for both
bronze and iron. The contract was
awarded at that price. The Cuban press
thereupon made charges of graft, and the
president rescinded the contract, which
already had been signed. Later, bids

the bronze. A local newspaper charged
several weeks ago that. Notwithstanding
get the contract because he had refused
to divide profits.
The palace in Havana is a comfortable
and dignif1ed building. good enough even
for the luxury-loving Spanish captain
generals of years gone by, but President
Gomez reached the conclusion that it
was not commensurate with the dignity
of the President of Cuba. so he secured
an appropriation of 100000 for the con-
struction of a new national palace. And
this. in spite of the fact that Viialta de
Saavedra, the Cuban sculptor, who had
made the magnificent statue Of Marti in
Central Park, Havana. and more recently
the monument to the martyrs of the coun-
try at Cardenas. is penniless and a char
ity patient in a hospital in Rome because
Cuba is unable to pay him the $4,000 1t
owes him for his work.
The government is just now in rather
serious difficulty over the claims of Great
Britain, Germany and France. growing
OFT of moneys furnished by financiers Of
those countries to the Cubans in their
fight for liberty. Cuba refused to recog-
nize their claims until the three govern
ments would act in conjunction. This
joint account was taken, and Cuba was
asked to refer the matter to The Hague
tribunal. This it refused to do, and asked
that it be submitted to the President Of
the United States for arbitration. Now
Cuba wants a sort of joint commission
established for the special purpose of
passing upon these claims.

Another Difficulty
Due to Soldiers Pay

during Cuba'S struggle for freedom. Aft
er waiting for fourteen years for his pay.
Gen. Yvonnet brought suit in the Cuban
courts for $4,000. and the supreme court
awarded him the full amount. It Is esti-
mated that the total claims, similar to
that of Gen. Yv0nnet, will amount to any,
where from three to fourteen million dol
lars. A loan of $35.OO0,O00 was effected
some years ago for the payment Of the
soldiers. Many were unable to get their
documentary proof in proper form before
the list closed. These are the men whose
claims have been approved by the Cuban
courts. In his campaign for election Gen.
Gomez made the payment of the veterans
one of the planks of his platform. Later,
he excused himself from making them by
asserting that the American government,
under the Plat amendment, would not
'allow the burden to be imposed on the
Cuban treasury.
It is generally agreed that number Of
concessions granted by the present gov
eminent will mean great fortunes to those
who possess them. Perhaps the most
valuable of these is the concession for
the improvement of the harbors Of the is
land. In return for their work in deep
ening the harbors the Compania de Puer-
tos is to receive toll of 80 cents per ton
on merchandise from the United States,
and dollar a ton on that from other
countries entering the ports of Ha,ana,
with a fiat rate of 10 cents a ton on GOAL
The value of this concession may be inn
agined from the fact that shares of stock
which cost absolutely nothing are now
selling at from $50 to $40. A loan Of
Sc, coo, 900 was promptly negotiated, and
this serves as the working capital Of the
Fconcessionaires.

32 KILLED DAILY BY
 RAILROADS IN 8 MONTHS

Washington, Aug. S0.-An average of S2 persons were killed and 500 in- jured daily during the months of Jan- uary, February and March by the rail- roads of this country. All the rebel lions and revolutions south of the Rio Grande combined were not so injur- ous to life and limb as the common carriers by rail.
 The killed numbered 2.4S1 and the injured 49,475, according to the bulle- tin issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The killed included only those who died within 24 hours of the time of the accident. A conservative estimate is that 10 per cent of those whose deaths is caused by railway ac- cidents finger for more than that length of time. Therefore, the revised number of killed should be 2,959, or an average greater than the 32.

The Perfect Laxative. :
 For Elderly People

Age has its attractions no less than youth in more serene and Quieter life. But 1t is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it those disorders that arise from in- activity. Chief of these are chronic, persistent constipation.
 Most elderly people are troubled in this way, with accompanying symptoms headaches and general lassitude. Ere quently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much mental trouble ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives. Is a mild laxative tonic, one that is pleasant to take and yet acts without griping.

WATCHES SON KILL FATHER
wealthy New Jersey Horseman Is siain After He Threatens
 Wife With Knife.

Nineland, N. J., Aug 28.-Declaring that he killed his father, B. R. Carton. wealthy horseman, to prevent the murder of his mother, Henry Carton, Fl years old. surrendered to the police. Carton was killed with small kitch- en knife, and his death was the cul. mination of a fight between the two men in which they wrestled all over the floor of the kitchen of the Carton home. For four hours after the kill. Ing Mrs. Carton was in mysteries and refused to permit her son to leave her. When he had quieted her, he went to the police station and was locked up, to await the coroner's in. vestigation.
 Mother and son tell the same story. The elder Carton had been drinking when he came home soon after mid. night, and he and Mrs. Carton quar. reled. Henry left the room, belisv. ing his mother could pacify his fath- CT. Instead, Carton struck her and then went out, returning with small kitchen knife. With this he threat ened his wife, and her screams brought her son to her assistance.
 The men clinched and fought. At last the father got the son by the throat. The young man was raining blows on the body of the elder, but they seemed impotent, and gradually he was losing strength. He felt the knife that had dropped from his ia. ther's hand, raised 1t and struck up- ward. The blade of the knife severed the jugular vein. Carton dropped dead, and the mother, who had watched the conflict, went into mysteries.
