Glimpses of Beautiful
AVANA) Cuba, Feb. 6.Amer-
icans need not feel timorous
about a trip to Havana for fear
they will not be able to make them
selves understood in a strange land. It
is pretty hard to make visual demon
stration to the Spanish people of what
is wanted. If you show & policeman
an addressed envelop and make a show
of mailing it, the officer will never sus
pect you want th postofflce, but will
try to read the address. Altho it is
hard to "show" the Cubans, some
self-interested English speaking native,
or a floating American who knows some
of the language, is always ready to
lend aid.
After inhaling for half an hour the
soft land breeze and watching the
strange flying *fish, as the pilot boat
drew near historic Mbro castle and list
ening to the still stranger cries of the
hotel "runners" aboard the Munson
line's lighter boat, he stepped onto the
dock almost into the arms of a portly
man.
"You are from Minneapolis!" said
your correspondent.
The impeachment was acknowledged
with a smile. It was J. M. Bisson, the
land man. As we walked thru the
customs pier a uniformed Cuban ad
dressed me in a jargon which seemed
to come, after the Spanish custom, from
near the abdominal region.
Wanted Ten Cents.
Mr. Bisson explained to his bewilder
ed fellow citizen that the Cuban wanted
ten cents for carrying his grip. As
sistance of this sort will be found ev
erywhere. Surprises are very frequent
for the American traveler, proving the
old saying that the world is very small.
While the guests of the Alton road,
who had come over from Mobile in the
Prince George, were posing for a photo
graph in front of the "dead line" wall
of Fort Cabanas, the photographer sud
denly called out for "Smith." It
proved to be 0. J. Hibbard of Minne
apolis, who was anxious that no one
from his home city should be left out
of the group.
Anyway it is not hard for the bright
American traveler to concoct free
translations of the Spanish inscriptions.
Of course "Prohibe hablar con el mo
torista," on the street cars, means,
"Don't josh the motoneer," and the
American refrains. "No fijar carteles"
means, ''Don't stick any bills on this
wall.'' When one wearies of the purely
Spanish he may see about him any
where typical American billboards with
the ramiliar faces that adorn talcum
powder and infants' food advertise
ment in the United States, only with
inscriptions that fit the Spanish eye, to
say nothing of a well-known "best"
flour sign. A
The Alton party, headed by General
Passenger Agent G. J. Charlton, was
fortunate in being convoyed for three
days by W. B. McDonald, freight and
passenger agent of the Mobile-Havana
service of the Munson Steamship line,
at Havana. Mr. McDonald has lived in
Havana fourteen years, leaving only
when General Lee withdrew from the
island before the war. It is whispered
that he was connected with the famous
Cisneros rescue incident. He was look
ing at the Maine when it was blown up
and has seen thrilling incidents under
three flagsSpanish, American and
Cuban.
Board "Particular" Car.
Mr. McDonald's thoro familiarity
with the island made the stay of the
newspaper and railroad men on the
island very pleasant.
The guests on arrival in Havana were
placed aboard a car marked "particu
lar. This would mean Tom Lowry 's
car" in MinneapoliBese. Wicker arm
chairs and carpets added a touch of
luxury. The trip about the city, over
nearly the entire system of 100 miles,
was a revelation.
The cars have twin trolleys instead
of single ones, but otherwise resemble
the American cars. Motormen, con
ductors, inspectors and employees gen
erally are Cubans. They are thoroly
alive to their work and would stand
well in comparison with the crews of
Minneapolis cars.
Another familiar sight is found in
the piles of the American creosote block
similar to that used on Tenth street S,
and elsewhere in our own city, all ready
for laying. The "white wings" force,
established by Colonel Waring of New
York, makes one feel at home and at
the same time emphasizes the fact that
the dirty days of old Havana have
passed.
Another Minneapolitan.
The car carried the party thru the
vidado, or rich men's district, to Mari
anao, a suburb near the estate of M.
J. Whitfield of Minneapolis. This dis
trict gave the visitors an idea of the
beauties of the rural districts with their
royal palm trees, omnipresent goats,
strange foliage" and odd-looking grass,
queer corn fields, etc.
The harbor approach should make ev
ery American feel at home. He will
probably at once spy the Olivette or
some other steamer of the Ward line,
all of which were used as transports
during the Spanish war. He may get
a glance at the famous side-wheel
steamer Gussie, which is intimately con
nected with filibuster history and such
names as that of Stephen Crane. The
harbor is also the graveyard of many
a blockade-runner of the civil war in
the United States.
Many Automobiles.
Once ashore the visitor has caught
frequent glimpses of American motor
caTS whisking about. If any one should
attempt to go out Kenwood parkway
at the speed the Cuban chauffeur ob
serves on Obispo or O'Reilly streets,
avenues only fifteen feet wide, lie would
expect immediate arrest. The night
your correspondent arrived in tho Cu
ban capital a full-fledged automobile
club of 150 members was formed, pre
paratory to the international races to
be run jus"t out of Havana in a few
weeks. Only two. or three Cubans are
killed each month.
Another American institution which
the visitors saw from the street car
was the Y. M. C. A. building. The in
stitution has 500 members and Secre-

tary W. H. Hubbard reports that all
bills are paid and that in the future
the association will pay its own way.
The American club adjoining the
Gran Inglaterra hotel iSv-a refuge for
Minneapolitans sojourning in Havana.
It is possible .there to find a dozen or
more men who are familiar, wjth the
north.
It is very easy to find Minneapolis
people in Havana. As already intimat
ed J. M. Bisson has a winter office
where he spends much time promoting
his land business. M. J. Whitfield,
with Mrs. Whitfield, Miss Whitfield,
and Mrs. Whitfield's sister, live on an
estate at Arroyo Arenas, nine miles
west of Havana and Mr. Whitfield can
be found down town nearly every day.
Have Fine Plantation.
The estate of fifty-five acres is on
one qf the guagua, pr bus lines which
rib the island in all directions. He
js said to have great success with his
plantings of orange, grape fruit and
lemon trees. Some 211 of them were
alive and had grown famously in a
year's time.
Edgar W. Dennison, formerly a choir
boy at Geihsamane church, is in busi-'
ness and remembers Minneapolis with
pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. W. R, Miller
have just arrived for tho winter and
are at Passreal, ninety miles from
Havana.
W. J. Hibbard and C. F. Potter, Jr.,
of the former Minneapolis firm of Hib
bard & Potter, are in Havana. Mr.
Hibbard is connected with a leading
camera and curio firm on the principal
street. With Mrs. Hibbard he lives at
44 Eyndustria street. Mr. Potter is at
Santiago de las Vegas, twelve miles
from the city. He is official photog
rapher for the Cuban government, at
the experiment station. John F. Norris,
Jr., and wife are in Pinar del Bio,
ninety miles from Havana, on a finka,
or small farm.
A trip was taken to Cabanas and
Morro, where the indignation of the
visitors at the evidences of former
Spanish cruelty was mollified by hear
ing an American typewriter clicking
away in one of the Cabanas cells, now
used as a military office.
Sees Wreckage of Maine.
The trip of the harbor on a launch
brought the party closer than ever to
the Maine, whose wreck was marked
with a wreath left by the crew of the
Missouri, a remembrance of the last
anniversary day. The serap of twisted
steel still remains high enough above
the water to show the destructive work
of the exploding magazine.
The evening was devoted to the iai
alai gamepronounced hi-a-liwhich is
attended three times a week by the hoi
polloi of the city and all tourists.
Howard Gould and party occupied a
box adjoining the American party, and
Jack London and his wife were a part
of the newspaper crowd.
The northwestern representatives
were fortunate in having as chaperone
at the game, -A. C. Townsend, formerly
of Omaha, now secretary to Gustavo
Bock. Mr. Townsend was confidential
clerk, or chief of the division of cor
respondence, to General Leonard Wood,
and is a great admirer of that officer.
He has followed the lead of General
Wood and is learning the game. As
yet, after eight months' practice, he
has been able to master only a small
part of the skill required by the pro
fessional players, or pelotaris. They
begin their training in boyhood, play
ten years at it, and then at the age
of twenty have ten good years before
they retire from the game. Inasmuch
as they receive from $200 to $300 a
month and a great deal of money
thrown into the court by enthusiastic
admirers and stake winners, the. op
portunity to retire wealthy is good.
May Bring Game Here.
Mr. Townsend expects that the game
will eventually be introduced into
American colleges, when he believes
that the American teams will become
worthy foes of the famous Spaniard
aggregations.
After the game the Post, an Eng
lish paper, was host at an exquisite
banquet in the exclusive Miramar hotel
cafe. This was the distinctive news
paper affair of the trip and the editor
and host, G. M. Bradt, was showered
with appreciative thanks.
President Palma received the party
the third morning. The function had
been arranged by Mr. McDonald. The
party was in charge of Jacob Sleeper,
charge-d '-affaires, in the absence of the
American minister. The reception was
marked with due formality, yet with
much simplicity.
The gathering was in the blue room
of the palace, which had been at times
the home of Blanco, Weyler and Wood.
Captain-Lieutenant Jose Cardenas, ad
jutant to the president, led the way
past the patio, to the second floor. In
due time the president appeared and
each guest was presented by Mr.
Sleeper. George J. Charlton, of Chi
cago, as head of the party, responded
to the president's welcome.
Cuba Needs Americans.
Begulations forbade ^the verbatiia
report of the Palma speech, but the
president emphasized the importance
of the visit of the American newspaper
men to the island. He said that the
island needed the Americans there the
immigration of Spanish was at the rate
of thousands a year.
The president showed the red room,
which had been lately redecorated with
the arms of Cuba, and explained with
pride that the furniture was of Cuban
wood and Cuban make.
Mr. Sleeper then conducted the party
to the presence of the alcalde, or mayor,
Eligio Boncchea, who welcomed the
Americans in Spanish. Mr. Sleeper
repeated the hearty welcome of the
mayor and in turn transformed the re
ply of Mr. Charlton into pure Spanish.
The mayor displayed the renowned
paintings in the council chamber. In
a prominent position were hung oil
paintings of Maximo Gomez and Jose
Marti.
As a special mark of favor the alcalde
ordered the temple of Columbus to be
fiS
interior of the structure, which com
memorates the. celebration of -the first
mass on Cuban soil. The nature of the
concession may be understood' when it
is remembered wkt the temple is'never
opened, 'exceM Joce year, JfflJ?*1**
Three large mural canvases .repre
sent "the (jj$ebr|t%on of the'mass in
1519 and *?the laying of the corner
stone,in lfH|$8. .A-high fenee incloses
an agfed tree wh&h is sprung from the
seed of the original tree that sheltered,
the celebranfcj$f
the mass.
Naturally tfie next' spot visited was
the cathedral whence the remains of
Columbus were removed when the
Spanish left Cuba, and where is buried
the first bishop of Havana. The old
pile shelters a famous Murillo painting
of the Virgin Triumphant.
Not less gracious was the acting
president of the house of representa
tives, Antonio Gonzalo Perez, who di
rected the guests should be admitted
to the chamber and after their de
parture sent word that he regretted
that the duties of the session forbade
his meeting them personally. The ses
sion was extraordinary for consideraj
tion of the presumable political murder
of a representative, Sr. Enrique Vil
luendas. of Cienfugos, in which it was
charged that a senator of the moderado
party was implicated. The Americans
listened to a speech by Florencio Vil
luendas, his brother, also a representa
tive, charging that an official investi
gation should take place. Political
lines were strongly drawn and tho
nationals had refused to attend.
Newspapers Hosts.
Each one of the newspaper Offices
had prepared to receive the guests.
Time permitted a visit to only one of
the institutions, that of the leading
Spanish paper, Diario de la Marina,
which had just Occupied its new build
ing. The editor, -Nicolas Rivera, en
tertained in royal style.
One easily adjusts himself to Ha
vana. He is apparently as safe there
as in the safest district of Minne
apolis. In fact, it is said by old
American residents that at the time
human sacrifice was offered daily on
the dead line at Cabanas under Span
ish regime, that one was safe in the
city so long as be refrained from mix
ing in matters political. In the coun
try district, where Mr. Whitfield lives,
absolute peace and security seems to
prevail. The 1,100 policemen preserve
order with a show of guns and clubs,
and it is said if anyone is seen drunk
it will be found that he speaks Eng
lish.
So far as the fever is concerned the
city is so clean as to afford little op
portunity for the germ-carrying mos
quito to thrive. Careful watch is
kept.
Cuban Bread a "Dream."
The drinking water is fine and can
be used with impunity. It comes by
viaduct from Vento springs, nine
miles northwest of the city, and i's
adequate for the general use. The
water has gentle flow and is watched
against possible pollution before it
reaches the reservoir into which it is
pumped.
Cuban bread is something to dream
about long afterwards. Its qualities
for the "good eater" are not ap
proached in America. Neither is its
ftuit, or the method of serving oranges
at the 8 o'clock morning coffee and
noon breakfaW,
Besides the (farms'of the old city
streets aito* tne*pubfic^squares and the
Parisian flavor of thje- afternoon prom
enade and jthe ,evening concerts with
cafes crowded with happy, careless
people, the additional charm of older
Spanish customsT
The flirtation in the very face o^the
duenna, and the courtships thru the
iron-barred portals and from the hang
ing balcony, and the many pretty ways
and sounds, the clinking of the
coehere bell, all aid the soft climate of
the winter months to drag the hurried
American tourist out of his shell and
into the Latin temperament and the
Latin ways for the time.
The American who wishes to remain
in Havana will find the charm still
holds him. Havana can be seen in a
week or two, but to inspect the rest
of the island carefully will take much
longer^
Many Good Schools.
Public schools and kindergartens
will be found by the brass plate in
scriptions at intervals thru the city,
and they are constantly improving.
Spanish cooking will soon conform
to the American palate, and altho the
American candy is missing, sweet
cakes are retailed at all the fountains.
Many of the customary soft drinks of
the states, and several new ones that
ought to be transplanted by some en
ergetic American druggist atfe delight
ful.
Theaters will be found in profusion,
altho they are susceptible of improve
ment. Yet they have their charm.
The Christian, Gongregational, Bap
tist and Presbyterian churches have
obtained a footing in Havana, and
during the party's visit the corner
stone of the first Protestant building in
the island was laid in Havana by the
Presbyterians.
The American who takes the Havana
Limited to Mobile and the Prince
George to Havana, provided he has
$30 to display to the immigration in
spector as evidence of self-supporting
qualifications, is bound to have^a good
time. J-

SLATER'S POLICY
LIKED IN ILLINOIS
EVAPORATED CREAM" JONES
GETS WORST OF COMPARISON.
Chicago Tribune Commends the Pub-
licity Given to Adulterated Food
Products in Minnesota, and Criti-
cises Methods of the Illinois Com-
missioner.
Edwin K. Slater, Minnesota's dairy
and food commissioner, is held up as
a model official by, the Chicago Tribune,
in contrast to A. H. Jones, the Illinois
commissioner.
It was Commissioner Jones who came
to St Paul last year with a representa
tive of the milk-condensing interests, to
show Mr. Slater his mistake in refusing
to allow evaporated milk to be sold in
this state under the label "evaporated
cream." Mr. Jones assured Mr. Slater
that the term was a trade name, and
that it was good enough for Illinois.
The Chicago press seems to have come
to the conclusion that Jones himself is
not good enough for Illinois. He is
severely criticised for permitting the
sale of adulterated food products that
are made in the state, and easy to
reach. Some of them have been barred
from Minnesota, and Commissioner
Slater's bulletin of Feb. 3 is quoted to
show the difference between methods
in Illinois and in the gopher state.
In this bulletin he discusses a sample
of adulterated pepper sold by a Chicago

house containing wheat products and
ground olive stones, and says:
As an indication of the brazen at
tempts of some manufacturers to evade
the pure-food laws, attention is called
to sample No. 637. The manufacturers
of this pepper, Beid, Henderson & Co.,
Chicago, are.not only adulterating their
own product, but the department is
possession of evidence to the effect that
this same firm offered to a prominent
jobbing house in this state low quota
tions on their "peppo," or pepper
adulterant, claiming that no chemist
could detect the presence of the adul
teration. The chemist has no trouble
in detecting the adulteration, and our
inspectors are striving to cause these
people, and any jobbers who may have
been inveigled into using their "pep
po all the trouble possible.
The Illinois commissioner, it seems,
does not issue monthly bulletins as Mr.
Slater does, altho the Illinois law re
quires them. The Chicago Tribune
says:
It has been the custom of Commis
sioner Jones to confine all his "pub
licity" to the annual report to the gov
ernor, which has a limited circulation
and scarcely can be called a public
document insofar as reaching the people
is concerned.
Governor Folk received a letter from
a woman who thanked him for closing
the saloons on Sunday, saying it meant
bread for her family, where they did
not have it previously. "One such
letter from a good wonvn more than
compensates for the curses from 10,000
outlaws,'' was the governor's assertion.
