' PARIS, Sept. .(.-Lively Interest Is mani
fested bare over President Roosevelt's de
cision to, send Beeretary of War Taft and
Acting Secretary of State Bacon to Cuba,
and many of the' newspapers Jump td the
eonclusloa that this will sound ths knell
of Cuban Independence. In responsible cir
alee, however, the .right of the United
Btate under ths treaty with Cuba, to re
store order is recognised, but there Is no
disposition to Imputs to the Washington
government ft desire to seise the occasion
to annex the Island. . Nevertheleaa, It la
thought by some persons that sven If ths
wise counsel of President Roosevelt is fol
lowed and the rival factions temporarily
bury the hatchet that there will be an early
recurrence of the .Insurrection which will
Ultimately compel annexation.

cial treaties, has negotiated with other
powers, undoubtedly hope the praeent Im
broglio will result In annexation the po
sition of the government Is reserved.
"President Roosevelt la a man of honor
who will keep Ms word," ths Tsmps saya,
He gava -liberty to Cuba and will not
take the first opportunity to withdraw It.

Statea Cubana aa oltlsens or subjeots are
no) easy to govern. Unless the unexpected
happens It Is safe to affirm therefore, that
America doea not contemplate laying vio
lent hands on the Inland, but only Intends
to safeguard American Interests snd dem
onstrate to the Cubans that It will be a
matter of hours if It desires to Impose Its
will. It probably will require ths appear
ance of American warships to Induce the
Cuban to sccept President Rooeevelt's ex
cellent advice. . But, unfortunately, a set
tlement of the present difficulties will not
be definite, and the Cubana, who during
four years have surprised Europe by their
prosperous tranquillity will return to their
old vice. Such relapses are rarely Isolated.
This Is a grave feature of the situation and
one w deplore In a people who always
havs received French sympathy and friendship."
TRADE OPENINGS IN EGYPT
(Continued from First Pat's.)
The demand for automobiles and auto and
motor cars In general Is an Increasing one,
and so with many other things which are
produced for export by the United States.
No preferential tariff exlata In Egypt
and the treatise of commerce, which have
the favored nation clause, do not affect
the customs schedules. Ths majority of
articles from all countries psy a uniform
duty of I per cent ad valorem, and this
uniform treatment to all countries should
maks It comparatively easy tor the United
States to greatly increase - Ha sales In
Egypt. Ons thing necessary ls ths estab
lishment of a direct steamship line. One
of the German companies started such a"
line three years ago, but It waa given up
because of .lack of sufficient business, but
with so much cotton coming direct from
Egypt there should be sufficient cargoes?
In return to make a direct line pay. An
English combine or trust now controls
most of this Egyptian steamship trade.

GREAT PROGRESS IN CHINA

DOWAGER EMPRLSS TAKING THE LEAD
Reeeat Imperial Edicts sal Orders of
the Great Viceroys ladlcate the
Growth of Weatera Thooght
la the Empire.
SHANGHAI. China, Aug. 4. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.) A
competent authority on the far east de
clares that ths Chinese have made more
progress during ths last five years than
any other nation on earth, not excepting
Japan. He admits that China haa not
made such advance In iron and coal pro
duction as has the United States, but he
contends that China has made a wider
and more profound change In. Its whole
attitude toward western civilisation than
haa any other nation.
The latest proof that China's face is set
toward progress Is found In the Imperial
decree Issued last Suvday promising a
change of laws. WXle this decree does
not promise a institution, as careless
readers have Inferred, nevertheless It
points In that direction.
A more vital Indication or .progress la
found lit the recent Imperial decree making
some mastery of. western learning a con
dition of future employment In the govern
ment service. This decree does not affect
existing officeholders and does not spply
to candidates for office who have already
completed the prescribed course of Confu
cian learning and have received the first
and second degrees. But the significance
of the decree Is found 1n the fact that It
prescribes the identical condition for fu
ture candidates for office, which the young
emperor prescribed . eight years ago and
which led to the Boxer uprising. It Is
significant that the dowager empress, who
then retired the young emperor for his
radicalism, now Issues in his name the
identical decree which produced the revo
lution. ' ,
Establishing Modera Schools.
A still more striking sign than this paper
decree Is found in the fact that Tuan Shlh
Kal, the leading viceroy ot the empire.

minor positions. In llu of American and ,rn ngtlon, M1 th tropn, (mplrfl
English teachers the Japanese are being I lnfo moAtkTn ,lh.rtv mnA,T -,,, i -,
employed to teacn western learning, ana
In some esses ths English language. The
"pidgin" English, which Is taught by some
of the Chinese scholars, would Indeed be
laughable were It not for the fact that
the Introduction of the English language
may possibly become general, and It
may carry with it the Introduction of west
ern civilisation. As Alexander's adoption
of the Greek language enabled that con
quered nation to transform the civilisation
ot western Asia; as the adoption of Roman
law and the Latin language by the North-
meif carried with It Latin Christianity
throughout Europe, so ths prevalence of
Engllah apeech In China, during the next
few years, will carry with It western scl-
ences and western civilisation.
Growing; laflnenco of Japan.
An Indication pointing to the growing In
fluence of Japan In China la found In the
fact that 11.000 Chlness students are now
In Toklo striving to secure from the gov
ernment Institutions and private schools
ths western learning. The Toung Men's
Christian association In. Shanghai has seen
the significance of this movement, and has
sent two American and three or four young
Chinese Christians to Toklo to keep In
touoh with this group of Chinese students.
As some Chinese students sre returning
from and going to Toklo each month, at
leaat 15.000 young Chinamen will pursue
their studies In the Japanese capltol In
ISO. As these young men will furnish the
future Tusn Shlh Kala, Chang Chl-tungs and
Wu Ting Pangs of China one can readily
ses tho Influence which the Japanese will
acquire ,n the Chinese empire. At leaat
two or three thousand of these young men
would have studied tn the United States
had It not been for our harsh enforcement
of the exclusion lsw It now looks as If
Japan will become the school master of the
orient, as Oermany has been the school
master of Europe and America. But the
United States may lead the race after It
la out of school.
Another sign of ths times Is the Increase
of the poetoffices and tbe multiplication of
eewapapers, especially along the eastern
side of the empire. Tbe postoffloes have
Increased from about 100 four years ago to
some L80S today. The number Is still piti
fully .mall, but tho rats of Increaae Is a
Just cause of surprise and a striking Indi
cation of progress. In the Tien Tsln, four
years - ago. three newspapers were pub
lished. Today twenty-three newspaper,
are published In that northern port.
Crwaaao Agalast Beasl Poet.
The Manchu court baa always been op
posed to bound feet, and comparatively few
women who gsln access to the court havo
submitted to this early torture. A few
months ago, however, an Imperial decree
was Issued exporting parents not to bind
the feet of their daughters. On tbs dowa
ger empress being Informed the other dsy
that tho decree relating to bound feet was
having no Influence among the provincial
authorities, another decree has beea Issued
Wish to inform their many friends and ;
customers that they have MOVED into
THEIR NEW STORE, SIXTEENTH and
HOWARD STREETS, and will be ready
for BUSINESS IN A FEW DAYS,
saying that In the future no men will be
taken Into the employment of the Chinese
empire whose wives or daughters havs their
feet bound. It Is uncertain when this latest
order will go Into effect, and whether It will
be 'strictly enforced or not. Nevertheless,
the fact that several viceroys are follow
ing In the footsteps of the Imperial decree,
and that the authorities at Peking are de
manding that the others comply with the
Imperial mandate, leads to the Impression
that this form of oriental barbarism may
ba approaching Its end.
A more striking Indication of ths adoption
of not only western civilisation, but of
Christianity, Is found In the decree Just
Issued by Chang Chlh-Tung ordering the
New. Testament to be Introduced Into all
the schools of the Hupeh and Hunan prov
inces over which he rules. The decree
states that the permanence and high qual
ity of Chinese civilisation Is dus to the
fact that the Confuolan classics have been
taught in China for over 1,000 years. Ths
viceroy admits, however, that western na
tions have some power which- the Chinese
do not possess. He Is sure that this is not
due to any superiority of the westerners
over the Chinese, but to the fact that the
western nations have In their possession
certain teachings which the Chinese have
not yet mastered. . He thinks this superi
ority is dus to the Bible, and In order to
make the Chinese not only equal, but su
perior lo their western competitors, be
orders the New Testament taught, along
side the Confucian classics, among the
63,000,000 people over whom he rules.
Establishing Christian Sabbath.
Perhsps the most striking indication of
the Chinese desire for western progress Is
found in 'the recent Imperial decree at
tempting to establish the Christian Sub
bath. The decree makes the Sabbath day
a legal holiday. It la not probable that
the decree will be largely followed through
out China, as. Indeed, It Is not probable
that Chang 'Chlh-Tung'g decree In regard
to the -New Testament will be largely ob
served. These decrees, however, show the
aspirations ot the Chinese for western
civilisation. - ..'. v ,
Some American and English ofllcisls, and, .
Indeed, some of the missionaries here are
convinced that unless; western influences
are swiftly snd strongly reinforced, the
present movement may result In a reac
tion which will Indefinitely delay the emer
gence of the Chinese into modern civilisa
tion. Indeed, the recent radical decree
putting two native Chinamen in charge of
the Imperial cuatoma Is likely to lead to
rcu""11 oi oir nooen Hart, tne
modern Inventions, 137,000,000 human beings
will emerge Into western civilisation with
in a generation.
