CITY's HIGH TITLE.
Cuban Capital Given Long Name,
by Royal Decree.
Has Been Considerably Shortened to
Habana, but That Was Not Its APP
peIIation in 1634-Place Had
Remarkable Growth.

The full name of the capital of Cuba
Is San CrIstobal de Ia Habana. In 1854
a royal decree conferred upon the city
the sounding title, 'Llave del Nueyo
Mund0 Antemural de las lndtas DC
cidentales" which signifies key OF the
New World and Bulwark of the West
Indies" In emphasis, the coat OF arms
Of the municipality bears a symbolic
key and representations of the for
tresses of Moro, PuntO and Fuerza.
Habana is one Of the several towns
founded by the governor, Diego We
lasquez. He placed it upon the south
coast, where the town of Batabano
now stands. 1t was shortly removed
to its present position and rapidly 1t
grew to be the chief center of the
island and one of the most important
places in the new world. La Fuerzaj
the oldest fertilization In the city, was
erected near the close of the sixteenth
century. Shortly afterward, Philip
the Second of Spain ordered the con-
structlon of the Punta and MORO
forts, for the protection of the har-
Dor, and at about the same time the
official residence of the governor Of
the island was transferred from San
tiago de Cuba to alabama
In 1860, the population of Habane
was hardly more than three thousand,
but in the following two or three dec
AIDES 1t doubled, owing to Il large I'M
migration of Spaniards from Jamaica.
During this period, the city rose to be
the commercial center of the Spanish
American possessions, and the prlnci-
pal rendezvous of the royal fleets that
carried on the trade monopoly between
Spain and America. The walls in
closing the city were commenced in
1871 and finished 80 years later
A map of the city at the beginning
of the nineteenth century striEinsly
illustrates its rapid growth. Then the
residences were almost all intramural,
or within the walls. Large estancias
and huertas occupied ground which is
now intersected by paved streets and
covered with substantial buildings.
The first impression made upon the
visitor Is of the massive character OF
the architecture. This characteristic
is more pronounced than In any other
I4atin-American city. The building ma
terial generally used is conglomerate
of marine material, which mrdens on
exposure to the mir. 1t Is hewn into
great blocks, and so used in construc-
ton. Walls are usually covered with
stucco or plaster, and colored In
variety of tints. Roofs are either flat,
or built OF the old Spanish tiles. The
effect, which is enhanced by the pres
ence almost everywhere of trees and
shrubs, is pleasing in the extreme.
The most interesting portion OF
Habana is that Which formerly lay
within the walls. The houses here
have for the most part been converted
into business purposes, but ii few per-
sons still cling TO their old homes.-

TWO Canine Heroes.

Two French war dogs. which well
deserve the honor, have had their
names and numbers posted up at all
the French army kennels. for deed
of valor. The story is that, at the time
of the German offensive, the dogs
keeper stayed In the rear to the very
last moment, waiting for his dogs to
return with an important message.
When they did come, the only way left
to escape capture was by swimming
the Marine, ana the man could not
swim, so he coupled sthe dogs together,
and clinging on to their iron chain,
was dragged across the river by them,
the three escaping unhurt in spite Of
rain of bullets from German rifles.

Clouds.

1.-THE height maintained by clouds
is very variable and Is generally less
than you might suppose" writes Jean
Henri Fabre. ''There are clouds that
lazily trail along the ground; they
are the fogs. There are others that
cling to the sides of moderately high
mountains, and still others that crown
the SUBMITS. The region where they
are commonly found is at a height
varying from 800 to 1,500 meters. In
some rather rare instances, they rise
to nearly four leagues. Beyond that.
eternal serenity reigns."

LANSING TELLS
OF TREATIES
Agreements Between Japan and Allies
Were Kept from American
Secretary OF
State,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.J
| WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Viscount
Ishii, former Japanese ambassador TO
the United States kept from Secretary
| Lansing the fact that Japan had Sc
cret treaties with the allies for divis'
ion of Chinese territory captured from
Germany, Lansing today told the SEN
ate foreign relations committee in re-
Stunning his testimony on the treaty.
| Arthur Balfour and Lord Reading
also kept silent about Britain's secret
treaty with Japan, when they were in
thds country, Lansing said, and ne
never knew Of the secret agreements
until February, 1913, after the peace
negotiations began in Paris.
When ENnsing made these state
ments, Senator Borah read speech
by Balfour in the house Of commons
during the war to the effect that
President Wilson is being kept fully
informed by the allies" regarding
agreements among themselves.
Lansing said he did not know wheth-
er Ishii had deliberately concealaa
from him the fact of the secret treaty
But he did either afiirmatively or
| by silence conceal from you the fact
that Japan had secret agreements
with Great Britain and the powers?"
asked Borah.
YES" said Lansing.
Lansing said, however, that. though
| he was totally ignorant until after
the war of the general secret agree
ment under which Shantung was
claimed by Japan, he did know IN
! 1916 that Great Britain and Japan
had agreed to divide the Pacific
| islands taken from Germany.
"Sir Cecil Spring-Ric then Brit
ish ambassador, told me in October,
1916" said Lansing, about the
agreement for division of the islands.
ION September 6, 1917, Ishii told
me that he had told Sir Edward Grey
in London that Japan would return
Kiao Chow to China, but that the
Pacific islands north of the equator
would have to be retained by japan.
Ishii said he told Grey that no Japa-
Inese government could stand which
agreed to give up the islands. The
equator, he said, was to form the
lime between the islands Japan would
take and those that would go to Eng
land"
| Senator New inquired whether the
general board of the navy had made
Recommendations that the United
States get some of the Pacific
islands. Lansing said he understood
there had been some discussion of
American participation in the divi-
sion Of the islands, in relation to
submarine cable stations.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE New
York Evening Suns financial review
today says:
Trading in today's stock market was
Of character to suggest professional
initiative only The volume of bust
ness transacted was comparatively
light and there was no pronounced
trend to prices that would indicate
real strength or weakness. The list
was materially higher at the opening
but there were substantial recessions
before the end of the first hour. There
after alternate buying and selling ere
ated waves in which gains and losses
were pretty evenly balanced in the
three hours of the forenoon and the
early afternoon. After that the mar
ket seemed to slip more than it could
gain, but 1t was not apparent that any
particular pressure was being exerted.
Through most of the afternoon buy
ing was too thin fully to neutralizo
such effort as the bears made to put
prices down. Toward the last the list
again tended to harden, although trad
ing continued relatively listless.
