Cuba Ready To Be Annexed.

New York Star.
TIE Marquis del Real Socorro is a
wealthy Cuban who spends considera-
BILE time in New York, where he Is
now quartered at the Marlborough.
He is largely interested In sugar
manufacture, and. Notwithstanding
q long line of blue blooded ancestry,
is q good deal of q democrat and an
annexationists.
"The sentiment Of the business
men of Cuba Is for annexation with
the United States If it can be brought
about" he said to me some days ago.
"They feel that nothing else would
30 materially develop the great ma
tural resources of the island. No
richer soil. no finer tropical climate
and no finer people exist in the world
than in Cuba, and while she Is rlch
and prosperous, not half her resour-
ces have been developed to the extent
to which they are capable. Our peo-
pie like the Americans. They feel
that the real market for their pro-
ducts is i'm the United States, and
this try furnishes what we want.
The advantage of commercial union
is apparent to everyone, and is the
parent of the feeling for stronger
union. Cuba's proximity to the
United States is another reason for
the prevalent feeling of annexation,
which Gu bans believe is not very far
off. With the added volume of trade
which that would open up, and the
influx of Northern dollars backed by
Northern enterprise and Northern
business methods, there would be
immense financial benefit to both,
and ultimately closer relations, either
commercial or political, must be
brought about"
