Religion le as Free as the Air—The Govern
ment Ha* Never Yet Repudiated
Any of Its Money—Etc.
Tourists who make Cuba one of their ob
jective points generally come away from
that sunny isle with a bad impression of
the people and the government—an impres
sion which, in the main, was received from
the mouths of glib, would-be guides, and
which they appear eager to spread, much to
the discredit of our tropical sister.
The helpless tourist—for helpless he is,
not understanding a word of Spanish -puts
himself in the hands of an interpreter
whose delight is to tell of
unheard of atrocities committed
by the government for the
whispering of which he has already placed
his life in danger. He points out this and
L. CUESTA.
that largo stone building, and tells* of the
many political and religious prisoners who
lie in the dark, damp and gloomy dungeons,
unable to move for the chains that are en
circling them, ami with their flesh rotting
away—thus conjuring up a picture for the
mind’s eye that is as horrible as it is un
true. And the more blood-curling the story
is, the bigger fee he gets from his gullible
client.
Yet for half a century and more these
same prisoners have, according to the
guides, languished in prison bemoaning their
fate. The traveler is told in bad English,
which scents of cigarette smoke, that no
public meetings are allowed, anil that if
a man dart's say a word against the stat*'
religion—Catholicism—he is mysteriously
hurried away to end his life in an under
ground cell. This curious foreigner is told
of political oppressions, of the money that
was repudiated by the millions. iixX'iet, the
tourist is stuffed like a turkey or a duck,
and fails to see the bright and real side of
Cuban life and of the Cuban people. And
before the guide turns his victim loose he
impresses him with the fact that the native
is overbifrdened by an unjust taxation.
Nothing is said of the true state of af
fairs, says Mr. Cuesta, for in no country
are the poor and the needy better taken
care of. In each district there is a gov
ernment dispensary when' the poor can
get all they need for their sicknesses by
applying to the doctor in charge. There
are orphans’ homes in charge of kind, sweet
faced sisters of charity, who take the
little ones and nurse them and train them
until they are ready to leave. As for po
litical freedom, there is as much political
freedom in Cuba as there is in Georgia,
and as for political oppression, there are
certain people—factions—who must be kept
down just, as are the anarchists—people
whose success would mean destruction in
every sense of the word. Men are npt
east, into prison for nothing, and one of
the laws of the island sets forth that a
man cannot be imprisoned longer than
twenty-four hours without having a trial.
In retard to the taxation system of Cuba,
it is one of the best, in the world. ’I he
people have an income tax —a tiling which
should be in existence in the United States
—and there is a tax of tire dollars which
must, be paid before a man can vote. No
money has ever been repudiated by the
government, but quite a large amount of
paper money was called in some two or
three years ago and is being redeemed in
silver and gold.
Since there have been so many visitors
to Cuba in the past from this state who
have given their views about that country
it might prove interesting to hear what n
native Cuban has to say on the subject
also.
Mr. A. L. Cuestu Talka About Cuba.
“I am not surprised," said Mr. Cuesta,
as he leaned back in his chair and puffed
nway at a fragrant. Havana, ileclaring that
he could not talk unless he was smoking,
“when I read of how my country has
been misrepresented by people who have
been there without, knowing how to speak
Spanish. I have seen how the people from
the north, in a great many instances, talk
of the south, because they know nothing of
the people here. Then is it less sur
prising that people who do not speak the
language should go to Cuba and come away
only to misrepresent that country? The in
terpreters over in Cuba think that it is
fun to get an .Englishman by the nose
and stuff him full of nonsense like lie was
a duck. Just the same way it is when
these Georgia travelers go there.
“There is us much politicaj right in Cuba
as there is in Georgia. We elect senators
to go to Spain, and representatives to at
tend the legislature. Everybody paying
taxes to the amount of five dollars is en
titled to vote. This tax of five dollars is
require*! in vi**w of the fact that with *nitp
ami a half millions of inhabitants-there
are .81)0,(XM) negroes in Cuba —if voting was
free they would elect their people; besides,
the blacks are very overbearing, knowing
that they outnumber the Cubans.
“There are two parties in Cuba —one is
the ‘autonomistas,’ which is composed
mainly of young men who are supposed to
be rather advanced in their political ideas
and the other is ‘conservadares,’ to which
party the business men ami manufactur
ers are the partisans. The ‘autonomistas’
■want a government like the Irish want for
Ireland, a home rule. But the other party
desires to have everything remain like it
is, with no radical changes,. In regard to
meetings a notice must be given the ‘gov
ernador civil,’ who corresponds to Mayor
Goodwin, by all those who desire to hold
a meeting unless it is one of the two
political parties This is done because
there might be some whose ideas ami whose
platforms are not known, ami th*' puJice
want to protect them like th*' third party
here when the people throw eggs at them.
“About the taxes in Cuba,” said Mr.
Cuesta, “I want to say first that there is
not paid one-half as much tax for the
money invested in Havana as there is in
Atlanta. Cuba, as you konw, supports a
standing army of from G,OOO to 8,000 sol
diers, and the Spanish consuls to Am<*rica
are paid out of the appropriation

year to Cuba. Outside of this Spain gets
no more benefit from the Cuban taxes.
In 1891 Havana, with 400,000 inhabitants,
paid $1,400,000 in taxes. This money is
expended on the waterworks, which have
been in progress for a number of years;
the roads, of which Cuba has good ones;
the schools, which are supported by the
government; the hospitals, where every
thing is free; the soldiers ami the navy.
I have already mentioned lie

with political freedom and no
man can be kept in jail more than twenty
four hours without a trial—it is R P art
the law- —while here a man must wait until
he can get a lawyer to get him out.
“I also wish to say something in regard
to Catholic domination —no such thing ex
ists. There are in Cuba Methodists, Bap
tists and Presbyterians, and they are all
protected by the government, just like any
other citizens of the country. ’l'he religion
of the island is Catholic, but at the same
time every man has the right t<» any
ion h*' wants to follow, ami that, too, witli
out any fear of interference from either
th*' government or th*' papal power. No
man can be put in prison on account of his
political or religous views.
“’file government supports th*' orphan
asylums, but they are in charge of the sis
ters. At the orphan asylum in Havana
there is a little dummy elevator with a bas
ket in it. The child is left in the basket
ami a button is pressed ami the elevator
goes up. where the little baby is taken, out
to lie eared for until it is grown. 1 f it is
a girl it is kept until married or adopted
by a good family. The boys are all taught

ernment, also, and the patients are attended

who are unable to pay for medicine can get
it without having to jiay.

'I he Alleged lte|ui<liatioii of Money.
“I have seen where people who have been
to Cuba come back ami tell how we repudi
ated our money, but such is not the ease.
'l'he governmeiil issued, through the Banco
Espanol. something like S4U,UOO,<MH) iu war
paper, which was recognized, not in Spain,
but only in Cuba. Os this money sl2.otM>,-
000 was in size between 5 cents and s•>.
This depreciated gradually until it went,
down nearly 101) per cent. In 1890 the
government called for all paper money be
tween 5 cents ami $3, inclusive. This the
government has been paying up . m
gold and silver and not issuing
any more. 1 have myself a lot
of the paper money which 1 am keeping
as a sort of memento, ami would not give
tip for its value in gold. So you see it is
not all true that you hear about. the repudia
tion of paper money by Cuba.”
Mr. A. Ij. Cuesta, who gave the above
interview, is a native Cuban who has made
Georgia his home, and is devoting his ener
gies to building up a business here. He is
also a member of the Commercial Club, and
is a. gentleman in excellent standing.
•‘I Am Ho Tired*’
It is a common exclamation at this sea
son. There is a certain bracing effect
in cold air which is lost when the weather
grows warmer; ami when nature is renew
ing her youth, her admirers feel dull, slug
gish ami tired. This condition is owing
mainly to the impure condition of the blood,
ami its failure to supply healthy tissue to
the various organs of the body. It is re
markable how susceptible the system is
to the help to be derived from a good medi
cine at this season. Possessing just those
purifying, buil<ling-up qualities which the
body craves, Hood’s Sarsaparilla soon over
comes that tired feeling, restores th*' appe
tite, purifies the blood, ami, in short, im
parts vigorous health, its thousands of
friends as with one voice declare: "It makes
the weak strong.”

THE CUBANS KICK.
TBBYOB.TBCT TO TH B ROSY PICTURE
DRAWN BY MR. CUESTA
As to Their Political Condition-The Island
is Tired of the Spanish Yoke and Would
Gladly Throw it Off-The Reply.
The interview with Mr. A. I*. Cuesta,
in so far as it related to the political, con
dition of Cuba, has aroused the criticism
of many Cubans here.
Lewis J. Marti, who is said to be the head
of the Cuban revolutionary societies in
the world, was in Atlanta on Friday. He
was at once summoned into consultation
by the local Cuban Club, the result . of
which was the following statement, v hich
The Constitution is asked co publish:
The Situation in Cuba.
“No assertion on Cuban affairs <?n the
part of Mr. Cuesta can have any vs it.e,
because of the same reason why in times
of the American revolution for independ
ence the opinion of an Englishman was
not the best of authorities on the truth of
the American situation. Mr. Cuesta is si
Spaniard, send as such his words are mere
ly the opinions of one belonging to the
oppressing party in Cuba. How can he
speak for the oppressed’ The wonder is
that he has found it necessary to take by
surprise the American public representing
himself ns a Cuban. No mor*' on these
personal matters. Mr. Cuesta’s opinion can
matter but little in the agonizing situation
of the Island of Cuba.
“Os the situation in Cuba we can aptly
judge by th*' existence of nearly one hun
dred revolutionary clubs outside of the is
land, most of them in th*' United States
organized under the name of the Cuban
revolutionary party, to help and foster the
Cuban movement for total independence
and the creation of a working and democrat
ic republic, already instinct with American
ideas and on the ruins of a colony of greedy
and venal Spanish otiiee holders. We do
not need to repeat here what has been
recently published in The New York Her
ald, Times anil World, and but a few days
ago in The la'ilger of Philadelphia.
Why Cubans Leave lloine.
“The existence of such a number of Cu
ban exiles and the daily creation of t.ew
Cuban strongholds of independent Cubans
in Tampa. Ocala, Thomasville , nd Gaines
ville, after twenty-five years of exile and of
frustrated attempts to secure indepen lence
by war, is. enough to describe the true
state of affairs in Cuba. Most of these
exiles, who, at tile doors of Cuba, have
already built self-ruled and prosperous
communities, have left th*' country, not
from special persecution, but from their
inability to secure work and to educate
their children free from vice and <rirninal
examples. Men do not. fly in flocks from
a paradise of bliss. If they could live in
Cuba they would not come by thousands to
a country of cold weather and different
speech. Not only the Unbans, but the
Spaniards themselves have left the island,
and are daily leaving it in great numbers.
The very Spanish industries, in fact, Span
ish factories in bulk, are leaving Cuba, to
establish themselves in th*' United States.
“On** does not know how to begin when
speaking of the Cuban wrongs. Unbans
who do not live by complicity with Spanish
abuses or who do not pay very high for
the violation of the unbearable laws, do
not find means at all of living. Only a
few vegas where th*' tobacco is grown,
anil a few sugar cane colonies whose pro
ducts are sent, to be sugared in the great
Centrales, are the actual source of wealth
in the country. But the Cuban does not
profit of these even, because th*' Spanish
government, unable to pay for th*' great
army it is compelled to ke* p in Cuba, sends
these men to look for work in the fields,
thus driving from bread the natives. All
offices of importance ar*' in the hands of
the Spaniards. Almost all the wealth of
the country was violently transferred to
them, or easily acquired, jjfter the whole
sale seizure of all Cuban properties under
the slight pretext during the last war.
Now even the pittance of the daily laborer
is allowed to the Cqbnn, the field owners
being afraid of inciting persecution by de
nying work to the soldiers recommended
to them by the government. Wide-sprea*Xng
revolt is the natural result of such a sys
tem. The timid people of the cities, accus
tomed to work on the Spanish lines, do not
see their way to the revolution. They feel
in their hearts as clearly as the country
people, who came reluctantly from ten
years of freedom, in the first Cuban repub
lic, from 18G.8 to 1878.
Ruled by Military Coiumlsslon.
“To quench this increasing feeling the
government has established military com
missions now ruling without fear or re
straint. 'Hte rural guard (Guardia civil)
is licensed to kill any man who appears to
bo dangerous t<» the government, ilnder the
pretense of abetting criminals. War tn
Cuba has begun as it always does, by deeds
of personal rebellion. A Cuban killed on the
side of the road is in the island a frequent
occurrence, but the country people ate
sharp shooters, and many a civil has found
his account on the hands of the ‘gnapiro.’
War, in fact, is in all Cuban hearts, inside
or outside of Cuba. The only question is
unity ami opportunity.
Cuba Fays the Bill.
“Cuba has to pay for the army of office
holders renewed scandniotisly, by hun
dreds, at every change of ministry in
Spain, for the round trip of these men who
take all places in lhe administration from
tin* magistracy, who live in open luxury,
spending in ostentatious vices three or four
times the money they nominally get for
the monthly commission these office hold
ers contribute to the influential political
magnates of Spain, deriving most of their
incomes from these colonial subsidies.
“Cuba has to pay the capital and inter
est of the debt incurred by Spain to fasten
in the war of ten years the oppression upon
Cuba.
"Cuba has to pay for the sustenance in
Spain of the administration of all Spanish
eolonips; for the expenses of the wars
mad*' by Spain during this century to re
enslave Mexico and San Domingo, and to
fight against the free American republics
of Chile and Peru; for all th*' Spanish gov
ernment's expenses in America, and all
pensions of the militar.v and officials who
