GUBA A LAND | OF RIGHES | The following facts concerning Cuba will be interesiing at this time. They are ob- tained from an authority that will not be questioned. No one is better fitted to dis- cuss tne affairs of Cuba tban Fidel G. Pierra, ex-secretary of the Pan-American Congress. Cuba is a rich country, prodigally en- | dowed by nature. Some of her productions are unrivaled; tobacco, for instance. A | hundred pounds of fine Vuelta Abajo cigar wrappers bring about $300 more than the | best of any other country. The principal | productions are sugar, tobacco, coffee, | cocoa, bananas, cocoanuts, wax, cedar, mahogany and otker woods. Some years the total exports have amourted to $83,- 000,000, of which some $58,000,000 were ob- tained from molasses and sugar and $9,000,- 000 from tobacco in various forms, The total population of Cuba befors the present war began was composed of 1,631,- 000 souls—950,000 white Cubans, 500,000 | colored Cobans and 160,000 Spaniards. Two hundred years after the conquest of Cuba her population did not exceed 50,000 souls; 100 years later it dia not reach | 200,000. During her rule of 400 years Spain has not taken a single step tending to the de- velopment of the country or to the weil- being of her people. Her centralized, complicated and inefficient administra- tion, dominated by a blind spirit of rou- tine, has always looked upon reform as a dangerous experiment. The Spanish Government, unwilling and incompeteat to act, has been a perpetual obstruction to all individual action, even in private mat- ters. For three centuries Cuba was con- demned to neglect. Throughout the fourth the mother country’s management may be characierized in three words: “Violence, subjection and plunder.”” There was en uprising in 1823, another in 1826, uprisings in 1830, 1848, 1850, 1855, and then came the awful uprising in 1868. began on the 24th of February, 189. The revolt in 1868 was prolonged ten years, and, according to the cfficial reports submitted to the Spanish Government, cost 45,000 lives and over $1,000,000,000. Spain lost by her own showing 99,000 men in those ten years, the greater poriion suc- cumbing to disease. Then, as now, the forces employed were mere boys. The ciimate proved a thousand fold more de- structive to the invaders than to the in- surgents. In those ten years 13,000 estates belong- ing to Cubans were contiscated. Between December 8, 1868, and Noyember 10, 1873, executed, and between March 1, 1869, and November 7, 1873, 4672 persons were re- ported captured i)y the Speniards and nothing has ever been heard of their fate. These figures are compiled from Spanish official documents. The Spanish Government has asserted time and again that whatever may have been tha political condition of the Cuban people previous to 1876, since then they have not only been allowed to send repre- sentatives to the Spanish Cortes, but they have enjoyed many liberties—almost as many, they have said, are enjoyed by the people of the Unitea States. How far the resident Spaniards monopo- lize the electoral franchise is shown by the single fact that, although in every 100 of the population there are only ten Span- iards as against ninety Cubans, for every represen:ative electea by the Cubans the Spaniards elect at least seven and some- times ten. In other words, the 1,450,0C0 Cubans are represented when most suc- cessful by seven Deputies, sometimes by only three, while the Spanish element have been represented by twenty-three to twenty-seven, the total number of Depu. ties being forty. £ Personal liberty in the sense that it is exercised by every individual in the United States has” never been known in Cuba. The laws as they are enforced now —as they were enforced before the present uprising—do not permit freedom of loco- motion. Inthe midst of profound peace and without process of law Cubans were cast ivto prison and deported. No Cuban, whether man, woman or child, can ven- ture out of his house unless provided with a license—a government license cost- ing from twenty-five cents t0 $50. Even beggars are not exempted. That is the law and the practice. : Cubans do not enjoy the right of hold- ing public meetings. They may ask the authorities’ permission to do so twenty- four hours in advance. It may or may not be granted. When granted, a public officer is present with power to discon- tinue the meeting whenever he deems it proper. Even associations are forbidden to nold general meetings. Such privi- IRENE STEWART. leges have been withheld from the Associ- ation of Pianters and the Association of | Artisans, If a Cuban wishes to _hold a reception at his L:ouse, he must first ob- tain a license and pay for it. The Cubans have no voice in the elec- on of officers immediately over them. rom the Captain-General down, all the officials are appointed in Spain, and the appointees are, of course, Spaniards. The Cubans have neither voice nor vote in the imposition of the taxes or in the expenditures of the revenue. AH thatis done in Spain. They sre taxed every year to the extent of from $26,000,000 to $30,000.000. Of this vast sum only about $700,000 has ever been appropriated for internal improvements in the island, for the construction of vublic builaings, re- pairs of roads, telegraph lines, harbor im- provements, lighthouses, etc.,, but it is notorious that rarely is one-half of the amount applied in that manner. The re- meinder is stolen. During the last twenty-five years not one fcot of highway has been constructed or one yard been added to the telegraph lines. Itis notorious that the filth of the harbor of Havana is a menace to the health of the city. and even to that of the civies on the Atlantic coast of the United States. Of the sum raised by taxing Cuba, $11,- 500,000 is employed to pay interest on the debt of Spain; $7.00¢,000 to pay for the army and navy of Spain, and $8.000,000 for | salaries to Spanish employesin and out of the island. Out of from $26,000,000 to $30,000,000 of expenditures, not one cent is disbursed for public education. The amount of moneys stolen by the officers who have been sucking the life out of Cuba can only be roughly approx- imated; but the official records show that in 1851 350 employes high and low were convicted of frauds, vet every one of them escared without punishment. The Spanish General Pando in a speech delivered in the Cortes on March 22, 1850, after stating in detail the numerous frauds of which e was documentary evi- dence, recapitulated them as follows: “The liquidation of confiscated estates shows a ueficit of $14,000,000, the defalca- tions in the Board of Debt amount to over 412,000,000 without including the last one to which Oteiza has given his name. Now adiing these items to those already stated we have arrived at a grond total of over $40,000.000.” The Oteiza frauds were found to amount to several millions alone. Thisis not all. The Cubans are com- pelled to buy of 8pain some $38,000,000 an- nually of merchandise which they could get elsewhere, principally from the United States, from 20 to 25 per cent cheaper if the customs tariff did not favor Spanisn manufacturers to the extent of from 250 to 600 per cent. The testimony of all who have visited Cuba and had apportunity to investigate the affairs of the 1sland points overwheim- ingly to one conclusion: “That whatever progress in the path of civilization the Cubans have accomnvlizhed, they owe 10 their own unaided efforts, frequently ob- structed and entirely nullified by the ig- norance, pride, greed and stupidity of the mother country.” When it is remembered that Cuba has in various ways fed the ra- pacity of the Spaniards for a long series of years to the extent of $55,000,000 and $60,- 000,000 per annum, an idea can be formed of the vitality and capacity of the island to produce wealth, ays M, Pierra: *‘8o soon as the forbid- ding and paralyzing power of Spain shall have disappeared from the island, the capital and enterprise which hereto’ore have kept aloof, being sure of their re- ward, will flow into the country in order to develov and transform all the'elements of latent wealth w ich for centuries have remained untouched and useless; and Cuba, under the beneficent influence of capital and industry, untrammeled and free, will become an emporium of wealth and one of the most inviting and happiest no less than 2927 political prisoners were abodes on the globe.*” FRAUD IS CHARGED AGAINST THE DEAD Elizabeth Waters Said to Have Deceived the Probate Court. Took All of Her Husband's Estate, When Entitled to Only One-Half, After Her Death Other Heirs Ap. peared and Have Filed Applica- tion for Their Shares. Margaret Mulcahey, John H. Waters and Catherine A. Woods have by their attorneys, Myrick & Deering, filed a com- plaint against Hezekiah Dow, Susan H. Hines, C. G. Hines, Mary Ann Hadley, Arthur A. Dow, Chester G. H. Follansbee, Joseph Stevens, Darius Stevens, Ann R. Shirley, Clinton Bhirley, Eliza w. Fur- geson, Frank W. Furgeson and Hezekiah Dow as special administrator of the estate of Elizabeth Waters, deceased, for the purpose of recovering an interest in the estate of Arthur Waters, who died in- testate in this City December 31, 1892, The plaintiffs aver that at the time of the death of Arthur Waters, Elizabeth Waters, now deceased. was his wife, and that the plaintiffs here mentioned were related to said Arthur Waters, Margaret Mulcahey being his sister and John H. Waters and Catherine A. Woods being the only children of a dead brother of Arthur Waters. As Arthur Waters left him surviving no child or children and no child or children of any deceased child, the plaintiffs claim a share of the estate, of which they declare they were defrauded by the late Elizabeth Waters. At the time of the deatb of Arthur Wa- ters his widow, Elizabeth Waters, fals-ly and fraudulently reported to the court that she was the sole living heir to his es- tate, and thereby deceived the court so that the entire estate was distributed to her. ' To make sure of her scheme she con- cealed from these plaintiffs the fact that Arthur Waters bad died and they, living in Eastern cities, dia not learn of his death until after she died, in June, 1895, and her estate was in process of adminis- tration. Mrs. Waters left a will bequeath- ing her property to the persons named in this complaint as defendants, and the matter of the distribution 1s still pending 1n the Probate Court, a contest to the will having been filed. The plaintiffs declare that Mrs. Waters was entitled to only one-half of the estate of Arthur Waters, and that at the time she obtained pessession of the entire estate by false testimony she well knew that one-fourth of the property rightfully belonged to Margaret Mulcahey and one- eighth each to John H. Waters and Cathe- rine Woods. Some valuable real estate is involved in the present suit, one lot being at the cor- ner of Polk and Geary streets, in this City, 8214x120 feet in size, and another lot, 20x6714, on Pine street, near Dupont. The personal property is valuable prop- erty, and there is $2635 10 in cash. In view of the fact that Mrs. Waters took possession of the property with an intention of defrauding the plaintiffs, and inasmuch as they were not informed of the death of -Arthur Waters and not permitted to be represented at the time his estate was distributed, they demand that the court enter a decree establishing the fact that when the property was dis- tributed to Elizabeth Waters she took the same and held 1t at the time of her death charged in trust in favor of the plaintiffs | for their respective shares in said estate, i and the piaintiffs farther ask that the | special administrator of the esiate be re- quired to deliver to them the shares to which they are entitied. The Baby. Zike a tiny glint of light pler:ing through the dusty gloom Comes her little laughing face through the shad- ows of my room. And my pen forgets its way as it hears her patt'ring tread, While her pratiling trable tones chase the though.s from out my bead. She is queen and I herslave, one who loves her and obeys. For she rules ber worid of home with tmperious baby ways. In she dances, calls me “Dear!” turns the pages of my books; Throws herself upon my knee, takes my pen with i laughing looks. Makes disorder reign supreme, turns my papers upside down, Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from tear of any frown. Crumbles all my verses up pleased to hear tho crackling soanl. Makes them into buls, and then—flings them all upon the grouad. Suddenly she flits away, leaving me alone azain With a warmth abcut my heart, and a brighter, clearer brain. And slthough the thoughts return that her com- ing drove away, The remembrance of her laugh lingers with me through the day. And it chances, as I write, I may take a crampled sheet, On the which, God knoweth why! read my fancles twice as sweet- VicTor Hueo. SOLDIERS UNEARTH A MOSAIO. A Eoman § ortrait of Virgil Composing the Eneid Discovered in Tunisia. Since the French have established them- selves in Tunisia, Sousse has been a strategic point, in the vicinity of which is a camp lfor the Fourth Sharpshooters’ Regiment. During the Roman times, on that same spot, was an important city by thename of Hadrumetumn, the capital of the Byzacene. There antique remains have often been met with. Among the more interesting is a mosaic pavement, lately brought to light by the soldiers while engaged in the buildingof a road. This mosaic is about nine feet square, and its subject is *‘Virgil Writing tha Eneid.”” The poet {is seen fuil face, draped in a blue-bordered toga and sened in a chair, his feet resting on a stool. He holds on his knee a roll of papyrus half folded, on which is written lhfn verse from his poem: Musa, mihi causas memora quo numine laeso quidve. His ;idghr. hand is resting on his breast, bis head is erect, his eves have a look of inspiration, and ieis listening to Clio and Meipomene, who stand back of him as if they were dictating his verses. This mosaic is faultless in execution, and with the exception of a few blue spots, all made of marble. The number of shades is limited, but the artist has mana.ed to bestow upon his subject a great broadness of execution and a charming brilliancy, by a skiiliul combination of colors. ‘This ancient work of art seems o cor- roborate the opinion expressed by some critizs that the verse above quoted was the first of the Eneid, the preceding ones being of more modern interpolation.—New Nork Sun.
