Quigley char- acterizes Cuba, The mayor and Water Commissioner W. B. Rossberg arrived home last evening after a several weeks’ trip to Cuba and Florida. ‘““Americans rule Cuba, and don’t for- get it. The Cubans are in office, but are reached by American interests,” the mayor states. Ideal Sanitation. The city of Havana, ‘where the mayor and water commissioner spent much of thelr time, is ideal from a sanitary point of view. Mayor Quig- ley says that during his entire stay there he did not see a single house- fly or any mosquitoes. The Cubans give all credit for these sanitary con- ditions to General Leonard Wood of the United States army who cleaned up the city during the Spanish-Amer- ican war and the days of occupation following it At the time the local party was in Havana a small revolu- tion was(just breaking out-among the natives in the San Juun and Santiago districts. T1he secretary of state in Cuba is an American named Patter- son, the mayor states, and he in re- ality rules the island. Speaking of all the graft that goes on there, Mayor Quigley says that he saw a number of large public buildings partly fin- ished and alandoned, and was told that the original appropriation was enough, but the grafters had taken so much of it that enough was not left to compléte the buildings. Rich American sugar industries and other concerns also exert a great influence on the island because the officials can be ‘“‘reache the mayor was told. Almost all of the natives are crooked and, if the American tourist is not careful he will be cneated at every turn. The Cubans have a cent that resembles a dime, a two cent plece that resembles a nickel, a twenty cent piece that looks like a quarter, and a forty cent plece thai looks like a half dollar, and if the American does not look our he will be short-changed. Mayor Quigley stated that in the Western Union Telegraph office he was short-changed by the clerk. The cost of living is also high in Cuba and hotel rates average about $8 per day. Cigars cost about seven cents each, hut native cigarettes are cheap; costing about four cents for a package of sixteen. Fatimas and Pall Malls, imported from the States, cost forty &nd fifty cents a package respectively. The duty on Cuban cig- arettes brought into the United States is one cent each. Mayor Quig- ley says he innocently brought in 333 cigarettes and was taxed $3.33, but fifty cigars he had in his pockets were passed unavestioned. Cuba Loyal to United States. When the news of the br iween Germany and America was ceived in Cuba there was much en- thusinsm expressed, the mayor says. The country as one man expresscd. sympathy and loyalty to the United States and the newspapers editorially promised that in case the United States went 'to war with Germany Cuba would also declare war against the Teutons. Mayor Quigley saw a fight in the lobby of the Plaza hotel at Havana shortly following the an- nouncement of the diplomatic. Two New York jockeys, one a . German, and the other an Irishman, became embroiled in an argument of nations which resulted in a fight and the ar- rest of both. ‘While the native Cubans, those of Spanish blood, are all loyal and friendly to the United States, the large negro population is not so kind- ly disposed. This was explained to the mayor by a native who said that during the time Cuba was occupied by the American soldiers following the Spanish war most of the officers were southerners or westerners with an inborn contempt and hatred for the negro. The result was a feeling of emnity that has lived in the breast of the Etheopian. While not vouch- ing for its -veracity, the mayor tells a story of corruption in connection with a recent election. The president had ordered a new election because in one province where there were only seventy voters he had received only 10,000 votes and he had been promised 12,000. The negros have | all the rights of a citizen in Cuba ! and can vote, but they are all ignorant and illiterate and. hinder the govern- ment. Another story told by the mayor concerns an alleged honest native. In talking with the New Bri- tain men, this man told.with horror how a certain politician had bought votes by spending freely with the crowds and giving numerous dinners. “But I don't approve of such methods and 1 helped to get even on election day for I voted against him nine mes. Some of the men got in as ny as thirty votes,” the native | proudly exclaimed. - | Grewsome Cemcteries, The cemeteries are unusually inter- ! esting places in Cuba. No bodies are buried beneath the ground and the rich families own their own tombs. | Those who cannot own a tomb must rent one. When a person dies a tomb is rented for a term of five years and if at the end of that time the lease is not renewed the body is removed and dumped into a special building known as *The Bone Yard,” while the tomb is rented to another. The tombs of the wealthy are elaborate and have crypts for the bodies of sev- eral people in addition to a big vault in the center of the building. When all the tombs are filled the body of the person buried the longest is re- moved from its resting place and dumped into the big vault, while the body of the latest member of the family to die takes its place. Funer- als are very elaborate affairs and at- tended only by the men.

In, Miami, where the mayor and water commissioner visited, they met Mr. and Mrs. Charles Corbin and Mr. and Mrs. John Toohey of this city, as well as numerous people from Hartford and Farmington. The weather has been very cold in the south, the mayor says, and in several places in Florida he found orange groves that had been ruined by the frosts, the fruit hanging frozen to the trees.
