the exact number. Thus the man who
writes this screed has not been in
Cuba's capital for three weeks. One
or two new ones may have been started
in that time or disappeared.
Here, however, is recent actual

Havana had population of only
$4,000 at the last census, and that of
the entire province probably does not
exceed 100000 at this time, so that in
the point of newspaper patronage the
Havana public goes far beyond the
average American city of the same
relative proportions.

his fancy for the time being, and who
received the largest order of his busi-

always political. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that in a country which
makes a fetch of liberty of the press,
as all Spanish American countries do,
editorial pens are dipped in vitriol as
often as in ink.
Take, for example, the "Heraldo de

But perhaps the most curious Of
all is a story, purporting to be
quoted from the "Neue Wiener
Tageblatt," to the effect that among
the superstitious peasantry of the
Iyrol the belief has taken root that
President Wilson is no other thar
the Crown Prince Rudolf, son of the
late Emperor Francis Joseph.
The Crown Prince, SO the myth
runs, was not killed in the famous
tragedy of the Castle of Mierling,
back in 1889, but merely kidnapped
by his enemies and dummy was
buried in his stead. Later, we are
told, he succeeded in escaping to
America, where he assumed the
name Woodrow Wilson and rose
eventually to the Presidency. The
