having already been taken by court
stenographer Porter, acting as refree
for that purpose. Should the Indians
win the case it may be regarded as
foregone conclusion that various other
cases of a similar nature will be brought
and great effort made to prove that
"the usual and accustomed fishing
grounds" of the Indians forty years ago
included all the reefs in the waters of
the Sound which have within a year or
two been found to be good locations for
salmon traps. The fisheries of Puget
Sound, Washington Sound, the Gulf
of Georgia and tributary rivers are
among the states greatest sources OF
natural wealth, and in our Judgment it
could not but seriously retard their de
velopment to enforce literal interpre-
tation of a treaty made two score years
ago when fishing as an industry III this
state was not even dreamed of.

The Official Paper of San Juan County
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18th, 1895.
THE CAUSE OF CUBA.

There is no doubt that there is gen
eral feeling of sympathy in this coun-
try with the persistent. determined
and heroic efforts Of the Cuban revo|u-
tionists to achieve their independence
of Spanish domination. Their cause
deserves success, as does every revolu-
ton which has for its object the estah-
lishment of government ''Of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people,
in place of enforced snbseryienct to the
arbitrary and despotic dictates of for
eign power. 1t is to be hoped that the
same providence which smiled upon
the tattered patriots of the American
revolution, and gave victory to their
arms more than a century ago, will
give the Cubans strength to overcome
all the hordes that are sent against
them from the Spanish Main, and ell
able them to set up and maintain the
standard of a republic, or better still,
secure annexation to the United States,
when we shall again be so fortunate as
to have an administration at Washing
ton to which the true spirit of Ameri-
canism is not nightmare. Discuss
ing the question nearly five years ago
the Detroit Free Press said:
"The annexation of Cuba is no new
slogan for campaigns. 1t was an issue
81, 4 l1,1n Of nd
1856, and both were carried by the
party that favored the peaceful con-
quest of the Queen of the Antilles.
But other and more pressing affairs
were crowding then upon the attention
of the country and nothing was done,
although il has always been under
stood that the Spanish Government
once made an open proposition to sell
her superb possession at a figure quite
within reason. The long and unsuc-
cessful Cuban revolutions during
Grants administration again brought
the affairs Of the unhappy island to our
notice, and annexation was freely dis
cussed as possible outcome Of the
Virginius affair and other Spanish out
RACES at the time. Cuba would make
one of the finest states i'm the union,
and if American wealth, enterprise aud
genius once invaded the superb island
it would become a veritable hive of in
dustry in addition to being one of the
most fertile gardens of the world
There is a strong party growing up in
the island in favor of reciprocity with
and annexation to the United States
In a recent debate in the Cortes at
Madrid the Cuban representatives call
ed the attention of the Government to
the fact that the situation in the island
was serious, and that annexation was
openly preached, and they did not hest
tate to say that under certain condi
tons it would be considered advan-
tageous.'
