ANARCHY IX CUBA

Havana, Sept 26. Cuba is today
practically without goverment and
the landing of American forces to
restore order is believed to be the
necessary outcome. The govern,
ing party has d-cided to abdicate
everything to compel the United
States to intervene. Opposition
party denounces the action of the
Palrna adminstration as treason but
conservatives welcome the idea of
American intervention.

THE NEGRO
PROBLEM
IS THE GREAT OVERSHADOWING
ISSUE IN THE SOUTH SAYS
HOMER BASSFORD
SOUTHERN TOWNS IN PERIL
Every Night Expecting Repetition of
the Terrible Scenes Enacted in
Atlanta.
Homer Bassford.the well known
staff correspondent of the St. Louis
Republic, who was detailed to ac
company Mr. Bryan and has been
with him for several weeks, in a
report to his paper from New Or
leans says:
One week ago today, sitting in
the lobby of the big Roanoke Hotel,
at Roanoke, in Virginia 1 heard a
native citizen of good repute say
that the only problem his state faced
was that of the negro. I
The day before that, at Radford,
I heard Governor Tyler, one of the
cleanest, finest men of the Old Do
minion, say that, owing to the
Bryan day at the fair, he could not
get the negroes to do their work.
My own experience was that for
neither entreaty nor money could I
get my trunk hauled from the sta
tion to the hotel, the negro express
men insisting on a holiday, for the
reason that there -was "something
doing."
Driving to the fair grounds,
where Bryan was to speak, I heard
negroes use language towards
white men that would have provok
ed a fight, to say the least, in Miss
ouri. In North Carolina, where whis
ky is not common, owing to dras
tic legislation, the negro was more
civil, and the same thing may be
said of parts of South Carolina;but
in Georgia, at Atlanta, on Thurs
day I beard half a dozen men in
the Piedmont Hotel, which is as

fine as the best places in New
York, Chicago or St. Louis, say
that the negro question was the
only one of real moment in the
he South. The negro has
mistaken liberty for license and
gets more than any white in the
same lowly walk of life.
The white loafer who refuses to
work, or who. indulges in indolence
or crime, gets his deserts and says
his nothing;but the negro criminal
gets the tacit suport of many in
own race and the negro loafer who
combines insolence with his inacity
and indifference is offended
to the point of an uprising, if he is
condemned. The exception is
present, of course, and when it is
found he is the most attractive, in
his way, of humanity honest,
taciful, obliging, possessing all of
the virtues and few of the faults.
Fifty southern towns go to sleep
every night looking for the sort of
thing that has occurred in Atlanta,
and to most of them it will come
sooner or hter.
Kindly correspondents who natural
ly shelter the real feelings of the
people, say that boys are responsi
ble for the outbreaks against law
and order, but every expression I
have beard on the subject came
from men of repute, who faced the
subject with genuine regret and
every misgiving.

"HU!.!AN HEARTS" LAST KIGHT
Big Audience Sees Cood Melo Drama
At Opera House Last
Night.
In "Human Hearts" whicla came
to the Opera House last night for
one performance was enough thrill
ing climaxes, heroic situations,
with a goodly amount of pathos
and fun mixed in to suit the most
enthusiastic lover of the modern
melo drama. "Human Hearts" is
a s,ood play and played by a good
company in a way that could not
admit of much criticism. The plot
is not new, in fact it is one of the
oldest themes with which the play
wright has amused audiences for
many years. The hero and the
villain, the tramp who plays into
the hero's hand, the li tie child,
and by the way the little one was
the best one of the company, con
sidering her years, the intrigueing
wife and it all ended just as any
' 'gallery god" would have bad it
end. The hero wins out, the vil
lian "gets bis" and all is lovely. It
is a story with a moral and it was
evident that the audience enjoyed"
it for the play and thcjplayers were
applauded at every possible point.
One thing noticeable about the
play was that it interested without
the aid of specia lties of any kind.
A full house saw"IIamanIIearts."
The next attraction at the Opera
House is "Lost in New York."
