Whpn General Tomaa Batrado Palma began his
fret term as President of Cuba, on May 20. 1902,
therf were many pessimists who predicted a brief
carer for the new republic but the success of the
Palma administration, the development cf Cuba's
commerce and her political stability have gratified
h.T well vrfshers and surprised the cynics
In the four years of President f '.-limit's minis
tration <"üba has grown and prospered to an extent
i!;.'it must surprise, even the Cubans. The natural
condition of affairs, s'ich .is a constantly increasing
furar crop and ■ good tobacco output, have con
tritjuu-i greatly to this prosperity, but the political
stability of the country has had also much to do
*ith it.
General Palm* was living modestly at Central
Valley. N. V.. when he was ejected for his first
term. This little Orange County village, at the
foot of th<» Ramapo Mountains, when live of his
blt children were born, had been his home for
more than twenty years. In that time he had
Jear«fi to admire American political institutions
and ideals, and they nave been his model.
As delegate of the, junta in this city, as the
head of that bureau was known in the Cuban revo
lution. General Palma, worked zealously and un
reartogly for the cause of liberty. Ilia patriotism

When President Palma took charge of the affairs,

FRIENDS OF CUBA DINE.
Celebrate Independence Anniversary
at Washington Legation.
Washington. May ».-The fourth anniversary of
the Independence of Cuba was celebrated at a din
ner given by Minister Quesada. at Cuban legation
to-day. The decorations were the Cuban colors.
Interspersed with those of the different republics.
A portrait of President Palma was twined with the
flags of Cuba and the United States. Minister
Quesada. in a brief speech, told of tho services
rendered by the United States to Cuba and of the
letters of recognition of what the government had
done for the Island and its people. He spoke
especially of the friendship of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root.
In responding, Secretary Root described his visit
to Cuba four years ago. when arranging for the
transfer of the sovereignty from the military nn
thorlty of the United States to the new republic.
He recalled what had been said as to the intentions
Of the United States, and declared that there never
had been a time when the conscience of the Amer
ican people was not fully resolved that the pledge
of independence should be. carried out. He re
called the doubts which once were heard whether
the Cuban republic would last more than a few
months, and expressed the satisfaction of the
American people at the success of the Cuban gov
ernment and the progress and prosperity of Hie
Cuban people.
Secretary Root also discussed the coming Pan-
American conference at Rio Janeiro and his pro
spective visit to South America. Primarily, he said
it was to enable him to get better acquainted with
those countries, and he hoped that it would result
in a better understanding by them of- the United
States and of them by the United States. Secre
tary Root said that the United States had no desire
for one inch of the territory of any of them, and
the example of the policy carried out toward Cuba,
he thought, should be taken as evidence of the gov
ernment's disinterested policy in desiring to pro
mote better relations with all the T^atln-American
countries, and to help them in their progress.
The remarks of Secretary Root were received
with enthusiasm by the representatives of the
Latin-American countries. Response was made in
Spanish by Sefior Delgado. Minister of Foreign Af
fairs of Salvador, who is in Washington on his way
to the Rio conference, to which he Is one of the
delegates.
Seftor Requena Bermudez. charge d'affaires of
Uruguay, proposed that a message of greeting be
sent to the President of the Cuban Republic, and
on motion of Sefior Tulio I^arrinaga, Commissioner
of Porto Rico In Congress, one was also addressed
to President Roosevelt. This action was taken by
acclamation. The messages were as follows:
To President Palma:
We greet President Palma and make vows for the
Guccess of the government this day inaugurated.
To President Roosevelt:
It was resolved to express to you the sentiments
of recognition for your noble participation In help-
Ing to secure the Independence and contributing to
the prosperity of Cuba.
Minister Quesada also added a message of per
sonal greeting to the President.
Besides Secretary Root and the diplomatic repre
sentatives of Latin-American countries, those pres
ent included Sefior Delgado. Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Salvador; Senator Fbraker, of Ohio; Rep
resentative Cooper, of Wisconsin; Assistant Sec
retary Bacon. General Bell. Admiral Schley. Ad
miral' Charles O'Neill; Surgeon General Wyman. of
the Marine Hospital Service; Director Fox. of the
Bureau of American Republics, and Seftor Tullo

gress.
VALUES OF BOND INVESTMENTS.
Allan B. Forbes Agrees That City's Securities
Should Stand High.
Allan B. Forbes, of N. W. Harris & Co.. No. IS
Pine street, is of the same opinion as Frank A.
Vanderlip and Mayor McClellan as to the value of
the city's bonds as an Investment. In a recent
statement he said:
The rate of income demanded by purchasers of
the securities of governments, states, counties,
municipalities, railroads and public service corpora
tions naturally varies with the nature ana charac
ter of the investment and the degree of security.
State county and municipal bonds vary according
to the locality and the ratio of indebtedness and
Rfner.il wealth of the communitie«. yielding gener
ally from about 3 per cent to 4U per cent.
Bonds of railroads having high earning capacity
of long standing are a favorite form of investment
among the most conservative individuals and insti
tutions in this country, and yield about 4 per < ent
income while the bonds of newer and Ices well
known railroads sell upon a basis yielding higher
returns according to the varying conditions.
The bonds of industrial corporations uniformly
soli upon a basis yielding still larger income re
lurns at the present market prices, varying from
slightly over 5 per cent upon the sinking fund bonds
of the'well known Vnltcd States Str-el Corporation,
to between 6 per cent and 7 per cent upon others
less well known. In 1904 the prices were generally
much lower and the yielding correspondingly
greater amounting in the case of the I'nited States
Steel Corporation bonds to more than 6 per cent
and upon many others to 7 or 8 per rent. As bonds
constitute a Hen upon the assets of a corporation,
which is intended to secure the full payment of
Interest and in case of default principal also
before any corresponding distribution can be made
upon the Stock, they very properly sell at prices
yielding a much smaller return of income than Is
demanded by investors upon stocks of the same
character. Therefore few industrial stocks, even at
the present high markt-t prices, sell upon a basis
vleldlnjr less than 6 or 7 per cent; and to maintain
that return of income to the Investors it is recog
nized that a corporation must ordinarily earn a
considerable amount in excess of its dividend dis
tribution in order to provide, against fluctuations in
trade and variations in the coßf of product.
In 1903 and 1904 the preferred Htock of the t'nlted
States Steel ' 'orporation. which has paid dividends
at the rate of 7 per cent a year ever since the for
mation of the company, yielded an income of 12 to 14
per cent upon the market price durlnga considerable
period. In the case of public utility corporations,
and with these securities I have a. wide knowledge,
one of the first considerations of an investor If the
duration and security of the franchises and the
probability of being able to utilize for an extended
period whatever natural facilities there may be for
expansion and Improvement, without undue inter
ference or harassing competition. It is only wher»
these questions can be satisfactorily answered that
a public utility corporation will be favorably re
corded as an investment, even If its present rate of
earnings Is fully equnl to 10 per cent net upon the
reasonable value of Its property over atjn above all
Interests, taxes and other ilxed charge?.

POLICE HELD AT BAY.
Sij? Seeking to Arrest Saloon Pro
prietor Have Hard Fight.
In an attempt to raid the Ramando Cafe, at No.
2118 Second avenue, early yesterday morning. «'ap
lain Gallagher and five officers of the East T>Uh
street ftntion were held at bay for three hours, ac
cording to the captain, by the proprietor. Frank
Oare. with two revolvers. Qaptaln Gallagher wait
ed until Oare was somewhat off his guard, when
he and his men made their attack. Oare and four
other? In the saloon were arrested, but not until
cv. ry policeman In the party had received marks
of conflict. The officers had to fl^ht not only a
score of men In the saloon, but others from th"
neighborhood who ran in and joined the proprietor's
forces. Xot until the reserves were called in did
the fight cease.
Agents of the children's society and Captain Gal
lagher declare that the cafe Is the headquarters of
the "cadet system" in Harlem. The house is tn
the heart of the Harlem Little Italy and Is sur
rounded by a swarming tenement hojee population.
Captain Gallagher suit Detectives Ooff and Lynch
to the cafe shortly before midnight to watch for
violations of the excise law. When they entered
the room, they say, Oare came from behind the
bar with two revolvers, which he pointed at the
breasts of the detectives and told them to "skiddoo"
if they desired to keep their skins whole. He had
the drop on them and they decided to "skidiloo."
They went back to the station and reported tiieir
reception to Captain Gallagher. He went back to
the house with Ooff and L<ynch and Haggerty cad
Weldon, plain clothes men, and Patrolman Backett.
They surrounded the house and Captain Gallagher
tried to get in. Every time he or any of his men
appeared at the door Oare confronted them with
his two revolvers and threatened, they ss y. to blow
holes in them if they did not get out. Captain
Gallagher finally adopted strategic measures. One
of the detectives found a window through which
he could watch Oare as he stood behind the bar
pouring and mixing drinks for the crowd In the
back room. After they had waited nearly three
hours Oare loft the bar. taking his revolvers with
him. and went out Into the open space before the
door. Then Captain Gallagher called to his men
and. all six rushed in.
Detective Haggerty was the first in. As he ran
toward Oare. he says. th« latter raised one of his
revolvers and aimed. Before he could shoot Hag
gerty knocked the weapon out <>f his hands with a
chair.
The men in the bark room, most of them Italians,
ran out to the bar and joined Oare. They were re
inforced by scores from the neighborhood, and
fought the police and kept Oare from being arrested
for half an hour more. No shots were fired, fists,
chairs, sticks, revolver butts and glasses being the
weapons used.
At last Captain Gallagher called for the reserves
from his station, and a dozen uniformed men re
inforced the littl.- squad of raiders and helped sub
due the mob. Oare and four others, a woman and
three men. wanted as witness* s w« re arrested.
In the Harlem police court yesterday afternoon
Magistrate Mayo held Oare in $2.50 ft bail for fur
ther examination on Wednesday afternoon. The
four witnesses were held in $500 hail each.

on attempt will be made to open the mines and run

being at these mines.
The mine workers remain firm in their refusal to

Governor Higgins Says Wage Provisions in
Eight-Hour Law Do Not Apply.
Albany. May 20.— When Senator Pages bill, re
enacting Section 3 of the I^abor law. providing for
an eight-hour day and the prevailing rate of wages
on all state and municipal contract work, ami which
was signed by Governor Higgins on Saturday, goes
t/> the Secretary of State, to-morrow, it will be
accompanied by nn interesting memorandum of the
Governors, which was made public to-night. After
a brief history of the section of the T^ahor law in
volved, which he quotes from a number of de
cisions, and after referring to the fact tha: the law
had been declared unconstitutional, Governor Hig
gins says, in part:
The penal and criminal provisions Of the law and
the provisions affecting wage* do not apply to la
borers in private employments, such as clerks in
reiail and wholesale stor«s. mercantile establish
ments and the like. A penal statute, fixing the
hours of lalior of adult male persons employed in
private work, not of a dangerous or unwholesome
nature, or establishing a rate of wages to he paid
for private work, would doubtless be held uncon
stitutional as an arbitrary interference with free
dom of contract: but this is a question of large im
port, which I have no occasion to determine, or
even to consider, for this bill Imposes no penalties
for violations of its nrovislons except In case of
public employes or employes on public works. This
re-enactment of the former law meets a decision of
the Court of Appeals adverse to the constitution
ality of so much thereof as applied to employes <>f

FIVE RATTLERS CAUGHT
Schaghttcoke Club Has an Exciting
Day's Sport.
| By Teleirrapli to The Tribune. 1
South Kent. May 20.— There are five less venomous
rpMlPsnake? in the Sehagticoke rattlesnake den
to-night, as the rcsuilt of the third annual invasion
of the Bchagticoke Rattlesnake Ctafe.
A score of snake hnntera took the train at Bridge
port this morning, and at this station were met by
Dr. John Monroe, an official of the Rattlesnake
Club, with carriages, and were driven immediately
to the home of Cleorge Coggswell, on the Schagti
coke Indian Reservation. He is the president of
the famous reptile club of Connecticut. There
coats were removed and leggings were buckled on
by the hunters, to protect them In case a rattler
was met unawares. The party was divided Into
three aqua 3s. under George Coggswell. Dr. John
Munroe. Charles (Sharg) Wheeler and "Dad"
Barber. These men are old rattlesnake hunter?,
and kept to the fore, so that the novices would not
run the risk of stepping on one without seeing
him. for the untrained rye is scarcely ever able
to discern a rattler lying at rest in the leaves or on
a rock. Mnnv reporters. Including those of New
Tork newspapers, were present, and most of them
entered into the spirit of the hunt. Koch hunter
was armed with a forked stick to pin the snakes
to the ground when discovered. The climb up the
mountain si.le for half a mile back of Indian Jim
Harris's shack is almost at an angle of 45 degrees.
a:nl frequent stops were necessary to give the
hunters a chance to g»t their wind.
Just before entering the den. which consists of a
)ere:ii ledge of shelving rocks covering an acre
and fa itig to the youth. George Coggswell called
the hunter* to a halt, and gave them some advice.
"Go slow. *ml keep as quid as yon can." said he,
•■and if by chance you should step on a rattler
don't jump off of him. He will bite you. sure as
fate. Just stand on him and call out for help.
Then you'll be safe."
A hundred yards up the snake den Dr. Munroe
made a determined lunge with his forked stick at a
rattler, which was .hist moving from a little shelf
of rock where it had been basking in the sun.
But Monroe only caught the tail, and the three
foot snake squirmed out and escaped in the rocks.
• He got away, boys." said Dr. Munroe, "but I
got his jingles."
The veteran rattlesnake hunter held up the tail
of the reptile, with nine rattles on it.
Half way up the den Bill Tut tie. of Stratford,
saw a beautiful yellowback lying on a bed of moss.
wanning its hide In the sun's rays. The snake
was colled up and apparently asleep when Bill
plunged his fork over its body.
"I've got a beauty!" exclaimed Tuttl«*.
The hunters hurried to th* scene, and Wheeler,
the curator of the club, got down on his knees be
side the snake ami made ready to seize if by the
neck. Like sin arrow Wheeler's hand shot out. and
the next moment he held the three-and-n-half-foot
rattler by the neck. helpless, in the air. The pho
tographers took a snapshot of V heeler with the
wriggling reptile colling about hi* arm. Then a
bag was brought forth and the rattler dropped In
it. There was an angry whirr of th» rattles. of
which there were ten. and then his snakeship
quieted clown and rested peaceably in him new
In a few minutes Selden Waldo, a Bridgeport
newspaperman, saw a rattler moving slowly across
an old wood road and headed for .-i ledge of roots.
The snake had been frightened by some hunter?
further down the hillside, and was crawling away
quietly to a place of safety. Selden forked the
reptile, and called loudly for help. When the
curator arrived the snake was lashing the ground
with his tail .->nd biting th« snake fork viciously. as
he kept up an incessant rattle. Wheeler carefully
watched his chance, and. amid the suspended
breathing of the hunters, caueht the snake by
the neck and in n minute more the reptile was
dropped in the bag to .loin the first snake. Then
there was a vicious whirr, a* if the rattlers were
angry nt meeting each other. But they soon be
came" acquainted and were quiet companions.
Indian Harris, the scout, who watches the den
for the club in order to set the date for the hunt,
had been up in the d«Mi earlier in the day and capt
ured three fine specimens. These were Placed >n
