The Last Day.
On the Home Stretch.
A Survival of the Fittest.
Yes, today is the last day. It is the
day of all days in the Tribune ”15,000
club.” - Today sounds the last call for
the final round-up of all kinds of sub-'
scriptions.
When one stops to think of it, today,
March 10, means everything .to the
candidates. It means victory for some
and defeat for others. Even at the
last minute of the campaign, 10:59 to-
night, may mean a difference in your
work. It may mean the difference be-
tween one of the three big automo-
biles, and one of the lesser prizes.

MENOCAL A DICTATOR.
Gen. Mario G. Menocal, they told a
reporter, had ruthlessly ridden over
the will of the majority in Cuba and
had sought to impose himself on the
republic as president for another term.
He had overruled, they said, the deci-
sion of the Supreme court and elec-
toral college, and maliciously imposed
himself, regardless of all the checks
which 'the constitution, so ably pro-
vided for Cuba by the United States,
contained.
There was, they said, no hope for
justice in Cuba except through the
Unted States, wherefore they were
here to inform the American people
and the American government, should
it express a wish to be informed, of
the true state of affairs. Any'inti-
mation that they were here to act as a

FIGHT MAY BE WON EARLY.
Then, again, the fight may be won
early in the day, but nobody will
know the winners until the judges
count the votes. All of the candi-
dates should turn in their subscrip-
tions as early as possible and not
wait until the last minute.
To the friends who have stood
loyally by and who have helped to
get subscriptions, the candidates them-
selves owe much. They owe it to
their friends, whose support has en-
abled them to get votes to win the
first prize in the race, or at least to
do their best in the 'attempt.

mention of a battlefield. Dr. Ferrara
called attention to his high official po-
sition and the fact that he had left
Cuba some days before the revolt in
the eastern provinces' of, the island
took place.
There was, however, one difficulty.
The revolt had taken place. A con-
siderable number of men had been ar-
rested in connection with it. And all
this had taken place before the elec-
tionsewhich were to settle the matter.
It was a troublesome question to put
down. The two Cubans met it easily.
The revolution was not a revolution.
Jt was simply an armed protest
against the attitude of President Men-
ocal. The people had suffered long in
silence, and could no longer be re-
strained. They therefore had risen at
the added insult of elections which
were “foreordained to be crooked.”
Cuba today is probably the best
prepared of all the republics of Latin-
America for self-government along
democratic lines. For nearly four
centuries it has been the stepping
stone between Europe and America. It
has been the starting- place of many
expeditions which have added terri-
tories as large as the whole of Europe
to the map of the world. That the
Cuban people should have retained
some-of the education and culture thus
acquired by rubbing shoulders with
travelers from all parts of the globe
was inevitable. The Latin blood in
them, however, had on effect which
education and travel and association
with the world could not destroy.
Every voter in Cuba expects the man
that he votes for to win, -and if he
does not win the voter wants to
know the reason why.
It is this trait which lies at the bot-
tom of the present trouble on the is-

। Besides the new railroad construc-
tion which the Santa Fe has under way
in the Panhandle of Texas, a new line
is about to be, built in Oklahoma,
through the old Osage nation district
Which is believed to be underlaid with
oil.
Mr. Felt said the new construction
would start at Owen, on the Kansas
City to Tulsa line of the Santa Fe and.
just south of the Oklahoma-Kansas
state line. It will got in a southwest-
erly direction through Pawhuska, Ok.,
on the Midland Valley, to a connec-
tion with the Santa Fe main freight
line. This connection will be north of
the Arkansas river, between, Fairfax
and Ralston. The new line will be
slightly over 60 miles long. Plans to
begin actual construction work in the
immediate future have been made.
Chief Engineer F. Merritt of the San-
ta Fe Gulf lines is reported to be still
in Kansas City, and it is not yet known
whether he wil be able to call a cause-
way engineers’ conference for the
16th.
, New railroad construction about to
be launched by the Santa Fe in Okla-
homa was the subject of comment to-
day by C. F. W. Felt of Chicago, chief
ensineer of the Santa Fe system and
for thirteen years located here as chief
engineer of the Santa Fe Gulf lines.
Mr. Felt is in Galveston for two or
three days on a periodic visit. He will
later visit other important points on
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe.

not helped the Cuban president in the
present difficulty.
In view of the fact that the contest
was so close, it became necessary for
an election board to go over the re-
sults and render a decision. The board
was headed by Dr. Picardo, chief jus-
tice. of the Supreme court. It ruled
that Dr. Zayas had been, elected. It
declared the elections void in a num-
ber of precincts because documents .
had been destroyed, presumably by the
postal officials in charge, who were
Menocal appointees, or because the re-
turns had been falsified. The' Conser-
vatives were not satisfied with this,
however, and an opposition was started
which forced Dr. Picardo to resign.
The remaining members of the Supreme
court then ordered by-elections held

What they really want is American
intervention in Cuba. They, want this
. country to. intervene peaceably by
. means of a commission to investigate
. the. past elections, if that is possible,
, but if itis not they want an armed
intervention. They may be expected
to go to some lengths to get this.
I CERTAIN OF MAJORITY.
Their reason for this is the certainty
which they feel that an election held
under American supervision would
result in a majority for the Liberal
party. They have precedent for this,
, and have every reason to believe that
what has happened before may oc-
cur again. They are fully cognizant
of the possibility that if the United
States went into Cuba how it might
not leave there until after the Euro-
pean war, if it left then, but they are
willing to take that chance.
Dr. Ferrara knows the Cuban situ-
ation' intimately. ; He arrived on the
island as a young graduate from a law

New York, March 9.—Throughout
four short years the island of Cuba had
enjoyed unprecedented . prosperity.
Sugar, tobacco, copper, and, in short,
everything which the island republic
had to sell to the outside world, in-
cluding- the privilege to hold no-limit
prizefights, horse races with wide-open
betting ring, and a score of other at-
tractions for tourists cut off from Eu-
ropean fields, were in demand at the
best of prices. Therefore, according to
the-sui generis psychology of the Latin
American, a revolution was inevitable
at the first opportunity.
With all this in the background,
there arrived at the Waldorf- Asjcria
some days ago two Cubans whose mis-
sion it was to prepare the United States
for coming events. That the events
got ahead of the schedule was not the
fault of those who had been sent to.
prepareathe ground. Dr. Orestes Fer-
rara, speaker of the Cuban lower house,
was the chief, and with him officially
was Dr, Raimundo Cabrera, who holds
no official position in Cuba at the
present time. Unofficially the suite
was large, ranging from an Italian
fencing master who served at the siege-
of Paris to an exiled Mexican cub re-
porter.
Both Dr. Ferrara and Dr. Cabrera
were eminently fitted for the task as-
signed to them. Both are lawyers,
their title to doctor standing for doc-
tor of jurisprudence. Both are jour-
nalists, Dr. Ferrara owning and edit-

business ability had acquired larse
fortunes found , themselves impov-
erished and looked to the state to
repay them indirectly, if not directly,
for the sacrifice which they had made
of their personal estates on the altar
| of- indepedencen. They looked upon
this as their right.
One group after another came to
power and simultaneously re-estab-
lished its personal fortunes. Money
flowed In and there was enough for
all.. Here the tale comes down to
the present time. Gen. Menocal is
wealthy and his folowers have recov-
ered their fortunes. The same is true
of Gen. Gomez, although not to so great
an extent. Dr. Zayas and.hfs particu-'
lar faction, however, have not yet had
their turn in official positions, hence
their present attitude—at least so .one
tale has it.
Probably for the first time in Cuban
history the position of the negro ele-
ment is clearly defined in the present
imbroglio. This element makes up
approximately 30 per cent of both
the Liberal and Conservative' parties.
In addition there is a Negro party,
which is not officially affiliated'with
either the Liberals or Conservatives.
It calls itself “the Friends of the
People.” ' During the past elections
it stood, almost to a man, for Gen-
eral Menocal, as against Dr. Zayas.
Both parties made a bid for the col-
ored vote, but ' the negroes did not
consider that they ha4 been given a
square deal under the Gomez admin-
the past presidential elections on the
island. In addition, they have a
promise, although it doubtless was in-
tended for a threat, that if foreign
property is damaged, armed interven-
tion will follow. They have been able
to accomplish this in a strange coun-
try under conditions which were not
familiar to them.
In New York they started by being
something of a laughing stock, the
latest .thing- in revolutionary propa-
ganda, but they are well on the way
toward accomplishing the task which
they set for themselves before they
left Havana.

school at . Naples in time- to take a
hand in the fight against Spain, and
he won through to a Colonelcy in spite
of his youth. He has had the distinc-
tion since then of having held office
under all governments, whether Cuban
or American. General Brooks appointed
him to a position of trust and General
Leonard Wood made him governor of
Santa Clara province when he was 24
years of age. Whenever there has been
any fighting to be done he has been on
the job.
Politically, he has gone as far as ha
can hope to go. He holds the most
important elective post on the island
outside of the presidency, from which
he is barred by his foreign birth. He
owns an important newspaper, on
which he wields a vitriolic pen when
occasion demands. He has a Cuban
wife, from one of the best Cuban
families, and wealth in abundance.
He would not be true to the land of'
his adoption, however, if he did not
continue to take a hand, as important
a one as possible, in 'affairs poltical.

Cabrera claim that the Cuban Liberals

president of the republic, in command.
ALTERNATIVE VERSION.
There are two alternative versions
of the affair.- At the time of the
presidential elections, on the island
-four* years ago, so this story runs,
there were three parties in the field,
One of these wished the re-election of
Gen. Gomez, under whose direction
an unprecedented prosperity had come
to the island. Every one had money,
and he had a strong following. On
the other hand Dr. Alfredo Zayas was
an aspirant to presidential honors and
had pany friends in the Liberal party
who were willing to support him. Gen.
Menocal was the choice of the Con-
servatives. The inadvisability of run-
ning 'for a second term finally was
brought home to Gen. Gomez, by way
of th eAmerican legation or other-
wise, and he withdrew. His followers
were not willing to give up their of-
ficial berths, however, and a revolution
was narrowly averted.
To settle the trouble, according to
this version, a gentlemen’s agreement
was entered into by Gens. Menocal and
Gomez and Dr. Zayas by virtue of
which Menocal was to be elected pres-
ident,' for one term, .to be followed by
Dr. Zayas four years later. Gen. Men-
ocal and his friends now are accused
of violating this agreement because
they found the official life interesting
and remunerative and of resorting to
every means to continue in power.
The last account of conditions goes
closer to first,principles and probably
has about as much foundation as the
other two. At the close of the long
struggle against Spain, first without
and afterward with the assistance of
the United States, many Cuban fam-
ilies which through inheritance or

It is, the Liberal side of this situa-
tion which Dr. Ferrara and Dr. Ca-
brera have been trying for some weeks
to put before the American public
from their apartments at the 'Wal-
dorf Astoria'. They are in touch with
the rebel forces by direct cable to
Santiago de Cuba, without any cen-
sorship, and are keeping a close
watch on the developments there.1 A

ban familes, dating back to colonial
days. He has never been a fighter ex-
cept with the pen. Even now, when
events have forced him into the posi-
tion of representing a party which is
under arms, he acts under protest, and
insists that he will not be a revolu-
tionary agent at any price. His mis-
sion is to add a background of sta-
bility to the more brilliant high lights
which are furnished by Dr. Ferrara.
Though the Cuban agents are not
entirely satisfied with their work,

The presidential election last No-
vember were very close and very hotly
contested. Gen. Menocal, as president
of the republics, bad a clear advan-
tage over his adversary. Dr. Alfredo
Zayas. Both were well known and had
figured often in the public eye. The
government which' the United States
has given to Cuba is very centralized.
The power placed in the hands of the
president includes that of appointing
practically all officials in the govern-
"ment of the island, including teachers
and, last but not least, postal offi-
cials.
The last of these supervise the elec-
tions, arid it is through them that Dr.
Ferrara and Dr. Cabrera claim that
election frauds have been prepetrated
to elect Gen. Menocal for a second
term. While there is no doubt in the
minds of persons who through long
association with him are in a position
to know that Gen. Menocal is honest
