Cuba, In his snntisl report to the secretsry
Of wsr, made public todsy, brings to his
attention the wreck of the L'nlted States

recommends that the government take im

without further delay." He ssys:
"The wreck of the Mslne continues to lie
In the mud end waters of Havana harbor.
The sunken battleship is a serious menace
to the shipping of the harbor, as it occu
pies a portion of the best anchorage. The
obstruction hss increased annually during
the last ten yesrs by causing a shoal. The
moderate tides prevailing In the harbor
are hardly sufficient to prevent a gradusl
filling up, and this shoal seriously inter
feres with the action of the tides and.

has been paid and discharged In full, end
It Is believed thst the provisional govern

leaving a floating Indebtedness and with a
substantial balance In the treasury.

"There have, however, been undertaken

to begin dredging In order . to provide
proper anchorage for the large amount of
shipping now entering the harbor unlesa
the wreck Is removed. The snchorsge is
also restricted by the wreck and the shoal,
for ships are obliged to anchor at sufficient
distance to prevent grounding In case they

Transient Laborers a Problem.
Climatic conditions In Cuba have caused
n Industrial development wnicn annuauy
produces the labor c'rUls which Is of great
concern. During the six months of the dry
seaaon Cuba Is a hive of tremendous In
dustrial activity. There are not enough
resident laborers to supply the demand,
The want Is met by laborere coming from
the other Islands of the West Indies, the
Canary islands, Spain, Italy and other
European countries. A large majority ot
these transients return home at the close
of the season, taking with them the money
they have earned and saved. This annual
drain Is a serious dlssdvantage to Cuba.
The advent of the rainy seaaon terminates
this Industrial activity. The field hands
are discharged and many thousand of men
are out of work. Among such a large num
ber there are many who are not orderly
and law-abiding, and the pinch of necessity
breaks down what moral stamina they have
and these ere esstly provoked or Induced
to violate the law. The industrisl situation
n Cuba Is the same as It would be in a
manufacturing community In the United
States, where each years the mills were
run to their full capacity night and day for
six months and then closed down for sis
months.
-Climate Aggravates Ceadltlens
'The danger of this annual Industrial In
activity In Cuba was Increased during the
not one omits te express regret and cen
sure for the deplorable spectacle. It has
become a national reproach and an In
ternational scandal. The neglect to re
move the wreck la attributed by many.
especially the Urge Spanish contingent
In Cuba, to the fear that Its removal
ill disclose the fallacy of the popular
belief that the Maine was destroyed by
a torpedo or mine Instead of an interior
explcslon; so general does this opinion
prevail that I believe the Cuban gov
ernment was deterred thereby from deal
Ing with the wreck as an obstruction to
navigation of Its costal waters and de
stroylng It. However, It should be
added that the Cuban authorities were
also restrained by a belief thst the
United States would sometime desire and
attempt to remove It and preserve the
wreck as a whole Instead ot breaking It
up and removing It In the more inex
pensive manner.
"The correspondence on file in the De
partrrent of State and. the Navy depart
ment at Washington shows that a belief
prevails In those departments that It Is
necessary to secure, by treaty or other
wise, the consent of the Republic of
Cuba to the authorities of the United
Statea entering the harbor of Havana
and proceeding with the work of re
movel This permission, If necessary-
can be easily secured and the Cuban gov
ernment would gladly afford every as
atstante In Its power to accomplish the
deslrej result, not only because of the
Injury to the harbor facilities, but also
because of the prompting of patriotism
and sentiment. I earnestly recommend
that the United States government take
Immediate steps to accomplish the re
moval without further delay."

RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism 1 caused Vy an excess of uric acid in the blood, which
gradually Rets into the circulation because cf indigestion, constipation, weak
kidney action, and other irregtilaritie ot the system which ax sometimes
considered of 00 importance. This uric acid causes an inflamed and irritated
condition of the blood, and the circulation instead of nourishing; the different
portions of the body? continually deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissue
and joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Rheu
matism can only be cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is
just what S. S. S. does. It goes down into the circulation, and by neutral
izing the uric acid and driving it from the blood, effectually and aurely
removes the cause. S. S. S. strengthens and invigorates the blond so that
instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony thoughout the sys
tem, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and
vigor to every part of the body and relieving the suffering caused by this
disease. S. S. S. being A purely vegetable blood purifier, is the surest and
safest cure for Rheumatism in any of its forms. Book on Rheumatism and

Local Committee Meets rrltk the
Officers ot the Association.
A meeting of the Omaha Saengerfest
association, at which every member was
present, waa held yeaterday afternoon at
the "Deutsche Haus," or German Home,
on South Thirteenth street, to consider
plans and preliminary arrangements for
the entertainment of the, 40. 000 people
who will attend the Saengerbund which
is to be held In Omaha in July of next
year.
The prepaa'.ions will be on so vast a
scale that it is necessary to begin early
the work nf appointing committees and
working out the details. Otto W. Roll
land of St. tttul, president of the bund,
and George H. J Kleek of Milwaukee,
the secretary, met with the association
and most of the time of the meeting was
given to advising with these men as
to the necessary preparations, as each
of these officials haa had much expe
rience In conducting the saengerfests.
The meeting to be held In Omaha la the
twtnty-fourth since the bund was or

here will surpass all previous ones in the
attendance. More than J.Ofin active
singers will bo In the city and S3, 000 Is
the lowest estimate of the visitors and
die figure may reach more.
