Cuba, going Jto do for hla country?
President I'alma realizes thai tho
weal or woe of Cuba Is dependent on
tho attitude of the United States to
ward It. If the Congress of the
United States w.111 gle the Cuban
people a satisfactory tarlll law. one
that will allow of a reciprocal ex
change of commodities between the
two nations, the welfare of Cuba Is
assured. He also relies on liie pro
gressive spirit of the American people
to help the Island along. He wants
to make conditions In Cuba such that
American settlers and American" cap
italists IU b.att ranted to the most
fertile land In thVwofldTTrud by their
enterprise and activity stimulate the
satires to shake off their bonds ot Ig
norance and sloth.
Although Senor Talma Is a Cuban.
and one who has suffered for bis lovu
of country by Imprisonment in a
Spanish dungeon, he is almost as
much aiTAmerlcan. Kor nearly thirty
years he has been a resident of the
United States, and In that period has
neter set foot on Cuban soli. His
home das been at the little village ol
Central Valley, N. Y.. where he has
been conducting a school. Them ha

does not look for any delcded Initia
tive on their part. The public school
system of the United States Is tho
model that the President has In i-s
mind, and he hopes to Introduce It In
the Island. That Is a work that will
take years, but he believes It Is one of
utmost Importance to the Cubans.
Palma. who may be fairly called the
(larlbatdl of Cuba, was born July !.
1835, In the tqwn of Daynmo, in Santi
ago Province, Cuba, He seems to
have been an ardent revolutionist
from his boyhood.
Palma Kept at Home.
"My mother did her best to keep ma
from becoming Involved In the rebel
lious movement that was always on tbu
point of bursting Into flame, during ray
youth," he said recently to n friend
who had called to congratulate him on
his election. "My father died when 1
was very young, and my mother kept
me In the bouse as much us possjble.
She realized that It was necessa-y to
my well being to allow me to have as
sociates of my own age. but these
were compelled to come to the house
to see me. I was not allowed to go to
them. This confinement had the nat
ural effect of making me wildly desir
ous of getting away from home con

was In Havana, studlng hard to no-

Palma has not a shadow of doubt. He
realizes that the work of recount ruc

that It must be undertaken slowly. On

personal views and a realization ot
the fuct that whatever Is done In Cuba
must be done by tho Congress of tho

them os well as for the Cubans, In the
sense that they will be. welcomed
there; that they will be urged to

the fertile fields that1- -under proper
management, must yield such Im
mense returns.
"The almost prohibitive duty on Im
ports to this country from Cuba must
be cut down at least 50 per cent, If
the Cuban scheme of reconstruction Is
to be a success. This will ho the
country to which our goods must
come. With the duty wall lowered so
that we can get our goods over with
out breaking our necks In the effort,
we shall be a long way toward thu

Americans have any lingering doubt

have them come over to Cuba and es

without a superior In the world. We
want them to share Cuba with us. as
they have a right to do, In return for

"Look nt what we have done so
far. The sugar mills have been re
stored In such a way that from 60.000
tons of sugar made In 1S99. the milts
have been able to turn out 100,000

cattle randies, coffee plantations, to-
bacco farms nnd sugar mills. Thu

I-'orty years ago they were scarcely
consldeied worth the tioiilito of catch
ing. Later thousands were shipped to
tho Uast. where they were known as
Indian ponies and were sold at prices
ranging finm y to $3o. About ten
years ago Colonel I'd. nedmond held n
groat louiid-iip of mustangs In Kastern
New Mexico and Western Texas nnd
gathered In more than SOOO horses.
He clonred tlD.oon on his round-up,
and tried tho samu thing several times
nfterward in Utah, Texas and Wyom
ing, but never with results so pioflt
nblo. In euily das so vast weio the
ranges at tho dlnposul of tho cattle
kings that the grazing of the wild
horses nover materially Intel fered
with the cattle. In the last quarte." of
:i century the gtnwtli or the cnttlu bus
iness and thu utilization 'of the public'
lauds have done away wlUi the im
mense ranges or tho cattle king days,
and the mustang has become a nui
sance. Ho used the limited range
reed nt tho expense of cattle men until
ho grow to be considered an outlaw
and a thief, and then he was shot by
tho cowboys whenever possible, In
mutiy Instances mustangs mixed with
the much herds and eventually be
came cow hoises, their stamina, speed
nnd strength usually making up for
deficiency In size. A few years ngo a
black Ftalllon, the leader of a herd ot
wild horses In Northern Arizona, was
flnal'y shot after repeatedly showing
his heels to the best horses In tho
countiv. On his flank was tho brand
or Me liar ranch, a large establish
laent owned by the Porrln Company.
It wus learned then that three years
before, when a half-grown colt Just
from Kentucky, he had escaped fiom
the barn nnd Joined the wild herd.
He recoveied liom his bullet won !.
ar.d for threo years won rnces In Ar!
zona, New Mexico nnd California, mo
combination of his g od breeding and
his eaily lire with the wild herd glv't-j;
Mm sptcd and stnmlnn which sent Si 'in
to the ittint. He bent tho best hor.ej
on the I rentier.
"At Pii son, In Northeastern Arlz'j,.u,
wlicro lor generations the mounts n
bled l.orBcs have raced, with ranches
nnd cattle herds as side bets, Iliac k
Eagle met his Waterloo, A ringer
from New Orleans beat the black stal
lion bj n head, and on that race hing
ed the ownership ot not less than 1500
steeis nnd 10.000 sheep, with a couple
of ranches and a fortuno In cash.
Hlack Kagie never won again. Appar
ently broken-hearted, ho died In the
itnil, ten years later, the originator of
a Hue of stock in heavy demand in the
East and In the British and German
armies.
