turns received from the provinces dur

however, to claim that Alfredo ZayaS.

and in some places the vote was ex-
tremely close.
The liberals appear to have carried only
a few municipalities.

The only place where there serious
trouble during the election was the small
town OF Jiguani, in Oriente province.
where a partisan clash resulted in the
destruction of the registration lists. and
thus rendered the election impossible.

dency of Cuba yesterday on the conserva-

to the people of the United States today.
My own success is nothing in COM
parison to Cuba's demonstration of her
ability to hold iaw-abiding elections in
which her disapproval Of corrupt gov

NO MORE DOCKING AT NIGHT.
Officers Unable to Inspect Liner
Passengers by Artificial Light.

NEW YORK, November 2.-There is
to be no more docking of ocean liners
at night. The health officer of the port
of New York, after painstaking in
vestigatiOn. has decided that the proper
examination of passengers is impossible
by artificial light. and he rules that no
examination Will be made hereafter eX-
cept by daylight.
The new ruling is popular with the
customs and immigration officials. for
it relieves them from working days
that often stretch out fifteen to seven
teen hours.

Many Patients Treated.

Including 2g2 births. there We're 3,3sJ
patients treated during the fiscal year
ending June 50 The number has been
on the increase for the last thirty-eight
years, with hardly an exception. and last
year the increase was 49, There were
discharged from the hospital 1855 pa
uents, Of which number $50 had recov-
cred The death rate was a trifie over
o., > per cent less than last year This
is explained in the report by the fact
that there is tendency among patients
to avail themselves OF early hospital
treatment instead of seeking the hospital
the last resort.
The financial statement shows an I'M
paid balance amounting to S7S.745.67,
which, in all probability, the report
states, Will increase from year to year
unless the Commissioners of Ne District
see lit to include in future estimates to
Congress sum sufficient to cover the
contract price for the care and treatment
of all patients whom they send to the
hospital. During the past year the bills
rendered for District patients totaled $33-
223. St. So. 1Go.14 more than the appropria-
ton received for that purpose.

An increase in the force of employees

SLIGHT INCREASE SHOWN
ESTIMATES WITH PRINTER

The estimates Of the government de-
partmentj for the cost of running the
government during the fiscal year begin
ming July l. 1918, are now in the hands of
the government printer, and. from the in
formation obtained today. il can be pre-
dicted that Congress will be asked to ap
propriate at the coming short session
nearly S11Oo,COoO00 AS Congress will
have at the outside only eighty working
days in which to allot this vast sum, it
will be necessary TO appropriate money
al the rate of between Sl0,oOoMo and
S1J.GD,0oO a day.
The estimates will show. as rule,
slight increases from tho figures of last
year
Cost of Parcels Post.
One of the causes of increases in this
years appropriations will he the neces-
sity of providing for the parcels post
service. Congress appropriated only $50 =
100 for the institution of this service 1t
is known that it will be necessary to eX-
pend the greater part of this sum for the
purchase of minor details of equipment.
Just as soon as Congress convenes Post
master General Hitchcock will call for an
emergency appropriation, which may run
as high as $1,000 600
Just soon as the President returns to
WASHINGTON following the election the
estimates will he gone over by him with
the cabinet and will have to be approved
by that body before they are transmit: ed
to Congress. Meanwhile they are being
printed and the clerk of the House APP
preparations committee is being supplied
with copies that drafts of the appro-
priation bills can be made and be ready
for the House appropriations committee
just as soon as the members care to get
to WORK on them.
Personnel to Stand.
There will be very few reductions in the
personnel of the government service pro-
vided in this years figures. Most of the
bureaus and divisions have reduced the
number of their employees to rock bot
tom. md in some cases the removal Of a
single worker would cripple a whole bu-
reau.
President Taft has issued no new order
t. economic to the heads of depart
ments. They have understood all along.
it is stated. that they must keep expen-
ditur0s down to the very lowest posS BILE
basis, and no new instructions are neces-
Sary.

Treat Problem in New Way.

Their too sudden immersion into the
artistic atmosphere of Paris gives them
an inordinate desire to express them
selves suddenly in some shape or other,
and because they have not the training
adequate for expression through the cd
recognized mediums they tackle the
problem in a new way, interesting only
for its oddity. and get an entirely inco-
hereut and inarticulate result. On their
side however, the radicals reply by
pointing 10 the distinguished master,
Henri Matisse. who has been hailed as
the head and front Of all their manifes-
tations, as well as to the radical ira
dition in painting which ran down
through the late years of the nineteenth
century in France and which boasted as
its champions men now recognized as
the most notable creators of their period
Only a few years ago, say the radicals,
japanese prints looked just as queer as
cubist works do now.
1t is difficult to describe how the new
works look, unless il suffice to say that
whereas the pOst-impressionists paint
figures and landscapes with characters
which remind one of the drawings in
a text book of plane geometry. the cubists
recall solid geometry, and the futurists

The artistic struggle being waged
in France has become even more bitter
since the opening of the autumn salon.
Not only are the painters fighting among
themselves, but the critics also, and, to
a certain extent, the public.
Unlike the spring salon, the autumn
exhibition of the fine arts is always more
or less controversial by the very nature
of it's contributions.

represented-fifteen of whom are women
practically none comes under the more
severe condemnation of the French crit

there are perhaps half that number.
