A GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED

Senator Morgan Gives His Reasons
for Belief That Spain Must
Let Go

ator Morgan in an interview last nigh
said:
IT have information from most re-
liable authority that Cuba is under thu
control Of completely organized civi
government, stronger today than it wa!
ever and so established that it is i'm
possible now for the Spaniards to over.

'In the meantime the situation is sc
grave in Spain that the government is
obliged to keep at home all Of its regu.
lar army of trained, seasoned, disciplin-
ed troops. an army of $4,000 men, 50,-
900 of whom might have been landed on
the island and swept it from one end tc
the other. But that is now out of the
question. These soldiers are wanted al
home to meet dangers that are threat
ening the throne. The Spanish govern
ment is afraid to put in control a man
not in accord with it's past policy.
1T is impossible for me even to con-
lecture what President Mckinley will
do, although I am not at all inclined
to impute to him unpatriotic motives
But whatever this government may do
I am satisfied that this is one revolu-
tion which will not go backward.
Work has already been accepted and
established which must result in the in
dependence of Cuba. The Senate's ac-
ton defining the relations between Spain
and Cuba is firm and irrevocable de-
claration of the truth that there is war
in the island OF Cuba.
"The administration is subjected to
the pressure of two classes of American
citizens concerning themselves about
purely business matters. One is that
which is said to have $50, 600 900 and $780,
900, 900 invested in the island. The other
is the class which in this case as well
as in every other like it, avail them
selves of the opportunities to make
money out of the dilemmas and dis
tresses of others, which would have as
the basis of Cuban independence the is
suapce of 50,000 900 of bonds, one-half

sustained by Americans and the other
half to go into the pockets of the bond
holders and bond-placers. This govern
ment, 1 think, is now In a state of con
tention with these influences. No mat
ter how earnestly the President may be-
lieve in doing justice to Cuba or how
great his desire to promote her inde-
pendence or his zeal to take care of our
he riUhtS island ia
is handicapped by the crowd that are
only seeking to make money out of the
misfortunes of others"

The tug Dauntless was released from
