The third-rail system between Hartford and New Britain is in satisfactory work- sag order. This was fully demonstrated by te trips made yesterday to test the sys- tem, which President Clark of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road as- setts is to be an important factor in the development of railroad traffic, and which s predicted will at an early day largely ede steam power in railroad travel. of ten miles between New Britain artford in the official trial was made minutes, and with less jar than ts ‘anarily experienced in the steam pas- er trains. Stretches of the route were i much faster than a mile a minute, motor car was geared to eighty-five The trip was a pleasant one, and vse who feared they would be deafened the rushing of the wind as they sped «* in the open car were disappointed, hose who did not know the speed that being made would have difficulty in zing that the car was running at high rate. The run of two and one- es between Berlin and New Britain Ss made in less than six minutes. The Start from New Britain to Hartford was ide at 1:53 and at 2:06% the train had ped at the Hartford station and the members of the party were alighting. There are two sections of the road, the first from Berlin to New Britain, three erd one-quar er miles, and the second, from New Britain to Hartford, nine and one- quarter miles. The rails are ninety-three and one-quarter pounds to the yard, special rolled in form of a flattened A. They are laid in blocks of wood resting in the ties, not fastened, but holding by their own weight. Each rail is bonded to the next to make a continuous circuit by two copper bands 12 inches long and 4 wide, bolted to the rail by eight bolts and nuts. The re- turn of the current to the power house is by a heavy copper band under the third At all crossings and switches “‘ap- *h blocks” are placed, which the shoe nts before it strikes the rail. tions at New Britain are made “dead” from the switch tower, the operator cutting them in as the train Starts and out when the train stops. The rails at New Britain are “dead” from the Ume the train comes in until it goes out again. At Hartford and Berlin the tracks are fenced in. The only way to get into €cnger is to climb the fence or craw! under the car. The danger Is in putting one foot on the third rati and the other on the or- dizary rail on the ground, but the latter is not spec'ally dangerous unless the ground is quite wet. The cars are about fifty feet long. Three steps lead from the floor to the ground on each side. Each car has a chime whistle and a big gong at each end. Five cars are now on hand ready for running, and @re similar to those in use at Nantasket Leach. Instead of an overhead trolley, the electric current passes to the propelling machinery of the car by two shoes 33 feet —— which are in contact with the third ——+e+—____ Was Fond of a Drink Himself.

(Continued from First Page.) that the first article in President McKin- ley’s fcreign policy was the protection of American citizens. I hear it not simply from the Americans themselves, but from Engliskmen and Germans in Havana. Cepero’s Good-Bye. While he was at the consulate Mr. Cal- boun had a chance to note one of the cases in which the assertion of American citizenship was vigorously and successfully pressed. It was a casc which may also be cited by those who insist that our nat- urclization laws are abused. A tall young Cuban came in to say good-bye to General Lee. He was swarthy and his physique was imcre that of an Apache "Indian than @ native of the island. He was Jose Lareto Cepero, formerly a colonel in Maceo’s army. Colonel Cepero commanded the-cav- airy at the battle of Mal Tempo, where the insurgents were victorious. Afterward he was captured without arms. It was claim- ed that he was on his way to give himself up as a “presentado,” that is, he was going to surrender and scek amnesty. As he was withcut arms the Spanish authorities could not controvert this statement. Neverthe- less he was imprisoned at Santa Clara for fourteen months. Cepero had been natural- ized at Buffalo and had worked in the loco- motive shops at Philadelphia. On proof of his citizenship being furntshed General Lee insisted that the conditions of “pre- sentado” should be observed. He was suc- cessful and Cepero was released, given his liberty in order that he might be expelled from the Island, the official announcement stated. The consul general, as he listened to Colonel Cepero’s thanks, gave some ad- vice, “Now, Cepero,” he said, “you must keep your mouth shut. You understand; keep your mouth shut. The United States has got you out of this trouble, but if you ever come back here it can do nothing for you.” Cepero said he understood and he would remember not to talk. Yet I venture that when the campaign opens In the fall he will be on the island with insurgent troops at his back, and Minister de Lome will have a complaint of the way the Spanish govern- ment’s “clemency” is abused. As for the good offices of the United States I am told they need never again be invoked, because Cepero will never be found again without arms in hand, and when found that way will never be taken. Evidence in the Ruis Case. Mr. Calhoun and Consul General Lee took a morning to go over the evidence in the Ruiz case together. When that was done Mr. Calhoun had Flenty of leisure. A man in Havana, who is not pressed with business, sees and hears much. If he represents in an official ca- pacity a powerful government he is bound to have many things brought to his atten- tion. However, it is Mr. Calhoun’s prefer- ence to go about quietly and unostenta- tiously, just as any visitor might go about. Nor is it necessary to know the tongue that is spoken. Some of the current gossip is sure to reach the stranger's ears. There is, for instance, the story of Go- mez's pacification proclamation. The in- surgent general having heard of General Weyter's proclamation declaring Havana and the adjoining provinces pacified, is said to have issued a proclamation declaring the eastern provinces pacified because he had marched through them and had not teen able to find any Spanish soldiers. Other talk is of Calixto Garcia’s success and of insurgent victories. But it is well under cover and lacks the means of verifi- cation. Besides the news from the field is not sc important just now as what is to be seen and heard in Havana. Swarming With Spanish Officers. What the special representative of the United States sees is chiefly Sanish of- ficers. They are a vivid reminder that war of some sort is going on, though one won- ders where the privates are. It is the of- ficers that Mr. Calhoun sees on the streets, in the cafes, smoking and drinking and whirling around the city in cabs. As he looks out of his window in the evening into the plaza below it is the officers he sees lolling on the benches and strutting around the walks. The civilian eye may not dis- tinguish the gradations of rank, but every- body’s testimony is that all those men in uniform are Spanish officers, and credence must be given. Seeing the multitude of officers and their pleasures it is the easier to believe that they are making a good thing out of the war and do not want it to end. And when the common soldier meets you and begs for a little bread you con- clude there must be something wrong in Spain's military system. ‘The economic and financial aspect is pre- sented by the Havana shopkeepers. When they learn that their customer is a repre- sentative of the government at Washing- ton they open up their confidence. Trade is bad, very bad, and is growing worse. When asked if Gen. Weyler’s pacification and the promulgation of the reforms from Madrid will not improve the situation they refuse to believe that the question is meant seriously. it is easy to discover that they are looking for the whoie financial edifice of Spain to fall. These Havana shopkecp- ers are louking at it from within. Many of them have little faith in the insurgents and discredit the operations in the field, yet they have a fixed idea that something is crumbling in the heart of Spain. ‘Taxation and Corruption, It was an intelligent young Englishman who gave the most concise account. He did it after he had been at pains to ex- plain the mysteries of the currency. A five-dollar bill of United States money after paying for a small purchase left ten dollars in the currency which Gen. Weyler had the Spanish bank of Havana issue to the amount of $20,000,000. It is’ useful in paying cab fare, but nobody wants to carry more than a handful of it over night. This young Englishman said the whole trouble was to be summed up in two words—taxa- tion and corruption. The life was taxed out of everything and everybody. As for the corruption, he pointed to a spruce-looking Spaniard who was strolling along the other side of the street. “That man,” he said, “Is a minor official at the palace. His salary is three ounces, or fifty-four dollars, Spanish gold a month. He has apartments on the Prado which cost him four ounces a@month. His other Hvying expenses are in Proportion. In him you see Spanish gov- CASTORIA FOR Infants and Children. SEE THAT THE FAC-SIMILB SIGNATURE OF Chas. H. Fletcher 18 ON THE WRAPPER _ CF EVERY BOTTLE oF CASTORIA THE CENFAUR COMPANY.

It is all rapacity and corruption.” - Insurgents Grow Stronger. ‘Asked about the insurrection, he gave his opinion frankly that it was a little strong- er than a year ago because Spain was weaker. He could see no signs of an end. He doubted the capacity of the Cubans to govern the island unless the United States was back of them in some form, yet any- thing was better than Spraish rule. He had often seen the ‘“‘deportado” marched by his place of business. These were the men suspected of sympathizing with the insurrection, arrested withoat trial, ship- ped to the penal settlements in Africa. Once, in a squad of fifty, he had recog- nized half a dozen acquaintances, all reputable citizens. This was enough for him. “very Cuban” he said, in answer to another question, “fs an fsurrectionist. In the beginning of the present revolution it was not so. The old families held aloof. Now they are all in sympathy with the movement.” The American resident confirmed this statement, naming several of his pro- feesional associates whose sons were with the insurgents. “Every night,” he sald, “those lads look Gown from the hills around Havana on the homes they have left. They will never come back unless the Spanish rule is bro- ken.” I have given these individual talks be- cause they shed light on the view of the insurrection which seems to be common in Havana. Doubtless there is another side which Mr. Calhoun will hear. Doubtless the Spanish authorities have grounds for their claim that peace and tranquility will be restored, and I hope to have the oppor- tunity of reporting what is presented for the benefit of the American public in or- der that an impartial judgment may be formed. While the rainy season has been backward this year, and military opera- tions are still going on in the field, they cannot last much longer. It is the economic and financial side of the situation which may now be investi- gated along with the condition of the Cu- ban population. Mr. Calhoun is a man of judicial temperament. In the few days since he touched Cuban soil he has had glimpses of wretchedness which seem to justify what has been said of the appall- ing, misery caused by Weyler’s concentra- tion order, but no conclusions will be drawn without personal observation. I trust to report these observations by letter. The cable is not at present a good means of transmitting news from Havana. The day of Mr. Calhoun’s arrival a brief dis- patch was filed anncuncing the fact. I was told it must go to the palace to receive the approval of the censor. It was a dis- patch to an American newspaper, and that was enough. As I write, young Garcia is in prison “incommunicado.” He was clarged with the authorship of an article in a New York newspaper which was dis- pleasing to the palace officials. Being a Spanish subject and not an American citi- zen, he is at the mercy of the authorities. He may be let out after a time with a “warning” not to print false news.
