a fair question whether 1t is not their
duty to solve the problem. Spain cam
not do it. She may conquer, but she
cannot pacify. Her conservatism stands
In the way. Her rule has become in
supportable to this people. Autonomy
at her hands is already rejected gift.
Cubans distrust her upon substantial
grounds. Separation is inscribed upon
the banner Of the lone star.
The wisdom or unwisdom Of annexa-
ton to the United States is serious
question. From an economic point of
view it seems the wisest course. From
the political point of view self-interest
appears to initiate against sentiment.
But the objections based on social and
political grounds are not SO great when
viewed at hand as when considered at
a distance. The social and political con-
ditions and the governmental questions
rising from them do not differ greatly
from those existing in many parts of
the United States. The people of Cuba
are well affected toward the American
system. They are Americans in thought
and in aspirations. Their intelligence
and it's possibilities under cultivation
are displayed in the accomplishments
of those of them who have enjoyed the
advantages of education. Under the in

How CUBA'S PATRIOTS RULE



Typical Episodes Of the RsbsIIion..-A
Crisis comIng.--FIIlbustsr Law--.What
Diplomats Say.
Before very long the government Of
the Cuban Republic will be In position
to ask the recognition of its belliger-
ency by foreign powers from every
standpoint of international law. Here
tofore, as is well known. the insurgents
have had no capital In the accepted
meaning Of the word. To be even a
belligerent, as the expression Is under
stood In diplomacy, power must hold
at least one seaport or metropolis. The
insurgents expect soon to be In posses
sion Of at least two sea coast towns In
Cuba. 1t will then be impossible for
their government to remain unrecog-
nized In either Europe or America.
The revolutionary government of
Cuba was organized at Camagney. on
September 10, 1895. The president of
the Republic, Senior Salvador Cisneros,
is the ex-Marquis of Santa Lucia, who
formally renounced his title of nobility
when he joined the revolution In 1868
and lost his estate which was then con-
fiscated by the Spanish government.
The secretary of war is Mario G. Memo
cal, very young man who was born
In the province of Matanzas. He was
formerly the assistant secretary of
war. Rafael Poctuondo is the minister
for forenign affairs, or secretary of
state, as we would say. The interior
department Is under the charge of
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1896-07-02

Senior Canezaies, highly educated and
much respected native Of Remedies. He
has written several works on Cuba.
Severe Pima has the difficult treasury
portfolio. He halls from Santa Spiritu
and has given up a small fortune to the
cause. Every officer of this young gov
eminent is perpetually on the move.
Life has few pleasures for them just
now. The Cuban flag contains one star
for the island and five bars to represent
the departmental divisions.
b. J. Guerra, Treasurer of the Junta,
has received several numbers of the
first paper published in Cuba in behalf
Of the independence of the island. 1t Is
called FL Cubano Libre (The Free
Cuban.
The place Of publication does not APP
pear anywhere on the paper, and Mr..
Guerra says that the editorial staff and
the entire printing outfit are part of
Gomez's army, and that the paper is
published ut whatever place they may
happen to be.
One thing seems true, and that is
that the course of the United
States Government with regard
to the Cuban question is destroy
ing its prestige with the Cuban
party. The same talk that was report
ed from Honolulu, of looking to Eng
land to take the island under her shield,
Is heard in Havana. That some strong
power willing to give Cuba peace, with
wise laws and popular form of gov
eminent, must ultimately succeed
Spain in power here seems not to ad-
NIT of doubt. Cuba is resolved to Sc
parate from Spain, and the time will
surely come when she will carry out
that resolution. Her destiny Is annexa-
ton to the United States, or such poll
teal relations with 1t as will amount
to the same thing.
Geographical and economic condi-
tons impel irresistibly to this solution,
and political and social conditions on
the island make 1t the only wise con-
summation for Cuba herself. Spain, in
her pride, in her sentimental passion
for the heirloom which costs her SO
much treasure and blood to keep. will
fight against 1t i'm vain. She might as
well seek to stay the tideof years. The
independence of Cuba, unprotected by
the United States, would prove disas-
trous. Conservative Cubans know this,
and they divide only on sentimental
grounds. Part of them cling to the
Government of their fathers and look
to Spain to establish home rule in Cuba.
The far greater part, educated in the
United States, enamored Of Democratic
government and convinced of the wis
dom of the American system, turn to
the United States for the same boon.
Even those who honestly seek indepen-
dence as an ultimate condition know its
dang/s and would found a republic
with limited suffrage in which the rul-
ing class would be determined by edu-
cational and property requirements.
The danger involved in independence
is made clear by these facts: OF 1,500,-
600 people there are 100000 blacks and
1000, 900 whites The whites are divid-

whelming majority Of native born
Cubans who have lived for years in re-
sentful subsection, and a minority OF
Spaniards, who have dominated and
plucked the majority. The political

corous politics have engendered bitter

the white are countrymen, who, what
ever may be their native intelligence,
are without that education which ought
to be at the basis OF independent self
government. Very many OF them are
victims Of poverty In land Astounding
In the sources of richness. Vast areas
Of land are In the hands of a few men,
who enjoy great wealth. Associated
with them In interest are the blacks.
A people whose freedom has come to
them since the negroes of the United
States were set free. there existence
here presents practically the same so
cial and political problems that exist
In the Southern States. With freedom
they have the right of entry with the
whites to public places on equal foot
ing, but they do not assert 1t. There Is
social dead line between the races in
the town. In the country it is not so
marked. Their mutual interests draw
whites and blacks together.
1t needs but the statement of these
facts to reveal the dangers that beset
independent self-government of Cuba.
Even the Spanish party would WELDON
annexation to the hated United States
rather than a political state in which
they would be placed at the mercy of a
people suddenly raised to political
power from a condition of political sup

There are to be about 200 railway
stations distributed over the new ST.

comprise 1000 locomotives, 1900 pas

The passenger traffic will be almost ex-

litical offences. The nearest approach
to anything OF that sort, are certain
provisions in the treaty of 1877, as
modified In 1882, which deal with MUIR
der, attempted murder, and piracy; but
these would require SO violent a
stretching to make them cover the most
fragrant of filibustering cases that pro-
badly no foreign secretary or diploma
tic agent would care to make himself
ridiculous by attempting it.
