HINSON, WHO WAS A RECENT VISITOR TO THAT ISLAM), WRITES INTEREST* 1XGLV OF HIS IMPRESSIONS. I cannot talk about Cuba without confessing that the mental picture previously formed of the Island, its resources and its people, proved so erroneous that I am still at sea on the subject. I hud thought of the little Republic as largely a black man’s country, in which a lot of sugar cane and tobacco was grown by the working classes while the others played politics. Well, the l'act Is, everything most turned out j to be different; so different that I am still under notlc influence. , . 4 .

INDIANA. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 12.—So ciety folks here are up in arms over the recent passage by the city coun cil of an ordinance requiring the presence of a dance matron at all dances. When the new law was passed here, the city folks thought it ap plied only to public dances, but a closer inspection shows that all dances comes under the new act. The new law provides that semi-tropical hyp-: dance nia y 8tart until a matron, who ' has been named by the Police De- dred miles. Sugar and tobacco are its principal products and In their growth or manufacture are employ ed the most “up-to-date” and expen sive machinery that can be found In the world. Last year’s sugar crop, most of which was sold in the United States, brought $121,000,000. Her tobacco Boino $20,000,000 more.

Tho merchants aro mostly Span iards and 1 found them a very cour- , teous and affable body of men, with an eye open to business, if you had goods to show them, it is said that although they are accustomed to de mand long time on sales, no sales man can induce them to accept more goods than they are sure of being able to pay for. Business, wholesale and retail, Is in the hands of Spaniards, most of whom carne to Cuba when small boys. The professions, such as law yers. doctors, engineers, architects, chemists, etc., are all filled by na tive Cubans. The latter, with their wives and families, also lead or form the most exclusive circles of society. DISSATISFACTION AND BATTLE IAI GANGSTERS HAVE FREE FOR ALL PISTOL RATTLE NEAR .MADI SON SQUARE GARDEN. •New York, Dec. 12.—Fifty shots were fired this morning near the Fourth Avenue entrance to Madison Square Garden, in a gangster’s bat tle. One gang seized a street car and held it against the attack, of other gangsters. The terrified pas sengers threw themselves on the floor, and when the police arrived the combatants fled in automobiles. So far as is known, no one was hurt. was said that the battle started over the rivalty as to who would furnish the strong arm men for po lice work In Madison Square Gar den. where the annual six-day bicy cle races are on.

Chicago, Dec. 12.—Regardless of the published announcement that Mrs. Ella Flagg Young has accept ed a place with one of the Chicago newspapers, the club women of the city today continued their plans for holding the big mass meeting to morrow, at which plans will be dis cussed looking to her re-instatement as Superintendent of the Schools. It is said the women who aro behind this movement, also aim at the removal of all the members of the Board of Education who voted against Mrs. Young. No single political incident in re cent years has caused as much ex citement as has the forced retire ment of Mrs. Young.

Tholr oyoa just nat urally drown one bofore he knows It. I won’t get over the effect for a month yet. And niter you have worked a week to get an Introduc tion, you come up against the stone wall of a strange language. You talk yourself dizzy, only to hnvo some senorlta of tho midnight eyes come back at you with, “Quo dice?” The City of Havana Is built around the harbor, with its resident sections running along tho ocean front and radiating out along the higher ridg es towards the west and south. That portion of tho city lying within the lines of the old protecting walls, still bears all the marks of ancient Spain—Spain of the lGth century. Beyond, or from the Prado west, the buildings have a more modern look, but tho large. Iron, grilled win dows, the varying tints, cream-Bhbll tints, gaslight greys and dove color —each owner following his own In dividual taste or caprice, render monotony Impossible and really add a tonic efTect to the architecture. Tho street car system Is very good Indeed and yet coach hire is so cheap that every one rides In them—ban ker, baker and candle-stick maker; even the colored ‘‘wash lady’ dellv- L era your week’s laundry in a coach. B Why not. It costs but a peseta (20 f' cents), even less than a lottery tick et. It’s a good thing for the lot tery. Another thing that struck me forcibly was the universal good na ture and willingness to oblige the part of officials. It Is the same, from the policeman on the comer to the President in tho Palace, llteness seems to be universally prevalent. The car conductor will wait for you to go back and get your hat and the night-watchman will tell you where you live, ilnd the house and open the door for you. Of course, he may expect a tip, but It’s worth It—If you are tipsy. There was so much to see In so short a time, so many places to go, so much to do and learn, that I sim ply gave It up and asked If there was not a Government Bureau of In formation. There was, and with a card of introduction from the edi tor of the Havana Post. J. went to It. The Chief, or gontleman In charge, spoke English,—It sounded to my ears like the real thing—and in Ills office 1 learned that Culm, although sometimes xeferred to as a “trou blesome little Island, just across from Key West, Is nearly eight hun dred miles long; that if lifted from Its place across tho entrance of the L Gulf of Mexico, and laid upon the United States, It would extend from r New York City to Indianapolis with a width equivalent to that of the State of New Jersey. Some spare, what? Cuba’s population Is 2,S0v,000, with about 72% white and 28% colored. According to the last cen sus there aro some 7,000 permanent American residents on the Islands. Most of them are engaged in agrt- i culture. There has been no yellow fever In the country for years, nor ere there any poisonous snakes or Teptlles.

New York, Dec. 13.—Detectives today are searching fur a swarthy young foreigner, as the sender of the Infernal machine that yesterday kill ed Ida Anusewltz, in the office of a, down-town bottling works.

Business rivalty, the police Believe, prompted the act. Following this theory, tho police furthor believe that tho young for eigner who carried the package to the express office, acted for somo one else. The detectives are dragging the East side for him.

The exports from Cuba this year will amount to about $150,000,000, Imports about $120,000,000. This means a per capltg export of $60.00. The latest available statistics place the per capita export of the United States at only $18.90, which looks to me like a pretty good business showing for a young Republic. Her Increase in exports during the past ten years has amounted to 197%. Imports during the same period have increased 56%. If this rate of Rpeed could be maintained for another ten years, her people would have to move to NeiV York In order to spend their cash. The climate, as far' I can judge, could not be improved if you made it to order, and in point of health, according to international statistics, Cuba stands almost ht the head of the list. Australia alone ranks a shade higher, but that Island is too far away for consideration. Uru guay, in South America, Is a poor second, with the United States con siderably in the rear of both. Investment opportunities are both unlimited but, like every other country, it is well to “get in right,” if you do not want to get burnt. In this connection, as in many others, I found the service of the Bureau of Information invaluable. It is an ad junct to the Departmnot of Agricul ture, Commerce and Labor, and if they do not have the particular in formation you may happen- to want, they will send out and get it; all of this, too, without cost. Another thing I learned was, that the Executive arm of the Cuban r-overument, at least, is today com posed of first-class, efficient and real ly patriotic men, who are endeav oring to bring tho Republic up to the standard of modern civilized nations. The President, Gen. Alario O. Menocal, and the majority of his Cabinet, speak English fluently, sev eral of them having been graduated from some of our best universities. Their task in governing Cuba is said not to be. an easy one. but they cer tainly appear to know what they are doing, and it seems to me that I have read some things to the effect that we, in the United States, had a few troubles of our own during the first years of our National life, so we can afford to give Cuba a chance for she sure is some country.

It should be recalled by all, how ever, that this Is the first attack ever made on Jud^e Roan’s fairness and qualification as a judge in the whole history of his career, and that the very attorneys who aro criticising him now, a year ago considered him the ablest and most unbiased judge on the criminal bench in Georgia.
