THE CUBAN QUESTION.
It IL the Most Important Of Any Per-
tanning to Foreign Relations.

It IL tho Most Important Of Any Per-
tanning to Foreign R~elations.
The most important problem with which
This government is now called upon to
deal pertaining to its foreign relations
concerns its duty toward Spain and the
Cuban insurrection. Problems and condi-
tons more or less in common with those
now existing have confronted this govern
ment at various times in the past. The
story of Cuba for many.years has been one
of unrest and growing discomfort; an ef-
fort toward a larger enjoyment of liberty
and self-control; of organized resistance
to the mother country; of depression after
distress and warfare and of Intellectual
settlement, to be followed by renewed re-
volt. For no enduring period since the
enfranchisemert of the continental pos
sessions of Spain in the western continent
has the condition of Cuba or the policy of
Spain toward Cuba not caused friction
concerning the United States.
The prospect from time to time that the
weakness of SPANS hold upon the island
and the political vicissitudes and embar-
easements Of the home government might
lead to the transfer of Cuba to q CONT
mental power, called forth, between 1898
and 1850 various emphatic declarations OF
the policy Of the United States to permit

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Following is
the first annual message of President
Mckinley to congress:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
1t gives MI pleasure to extend greeting
TO the Fifty-fourth congress assembled at
the seat of government, with many of
whose senators and representatives l have
been associated in the legislative service.
Their meeting occurs under felicitous
conditions, justifying sincere congratula-
ton and calling for our grateful acknowl-
edgment to a beneticent Providence which
has so signally blessed and prospered us
as a nation. Peace and good will with
Ill the nations of the earth continue un.
broken.
Patriotism Now Above Partizanship.
A matter of genuine satisfaction is the
growing feeling Of fraternal regard and
unitication Of all sections of our country,
the incompleteness of which has too long
delayed realization of the highest bless
ings of the Union. The spirit of patriot
ism is universal and is ever increasing in
fervor. The public questions which now
most engross us are lifted far above
either ~partizanship, prejudice or former
sectional differences. They affect every
part of our common country alike and
permit of no division on ancient lines.
Questions of foreign policy, of revenue.
the soundness of the currency, the inviola-
bility of national obligations, the i'm
provement of the public service, appeal to
the individual conscience of every earnest
citizen to whatever party he belongs or
in whatever section of the country he MAY
reside,

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Ratification of the Treaty Negotiated Ia
Considered Desirable.

Ratification Of the Treaty Negotiated Il
Considered Desirable.
BY a special message dated the 18th day
of June last l laid before the senate a
treaty cigned that day by the plenipoten-
tiaries Of the United States and of the
republic If Hawaii having for it's purpose
the Incorporation of the Hawaiian isl
ands as an integral part of the United
States n under it's sovereignty.
While consistently d~isavowing from a
very early period any aggressive policy
OF absorption in regard to the Hawaiian
group, a long series of declarations
through three-quarters Of a century has
proclaimed the vital interest OF the United
States, in the independent life of the isl.
ands and their intimate commercial de.
tendency upon this country. At the same
time it has been repeatedly asserted that
in no event could the entity of Hawaiian
statehood cease by their passage un-
der the dominion or influence of an
other power han the United States. I'm.
der these circumstances the logic of events
required that annexation. heretofore of.
fered but declined, should in the ripeness
Of time come about as the natural result
of the strengthening the ties that bind us
to those islands INC be realized by the
free will of the Hawaiian state.
That treaty was unanimously ratified
without amendment by the senate and
president of the republic of Hawaii on the
10th of September last, and only awaits
the favorable action of the American sen.
ate to effect the complete absorption OF
the islands into the domain of the United
States. What the conditions of such q
union shall be, the political relation
thereof to the United States, the character
of the local administration, the quality
and degree of the elective franchise OF
the inhabitants, the extension of the fed
eral laws to the territory, the enactment
of special laws to fit the peculiarcondition
thereof, the regulation if need be of the
labor system therein, are all matters
which the treaty has wisely relegated to
CONGRESS. --

Intervention on HumantarIsn Grounds.
Intervention on humanitarian grounds
had been frequently suggested and has
not failed to receive my most anxious and
earnest consideration. But should such a
step be now taken when it is apparent
that a hopeful change has supervened in
the policy of spain toward Cubas A new
new government has taken office in the
mother country. 1t II pledged in advance
to the declaration thol all the effort in the
world cannot suffice to maintain peace
In Cube by the bayonet; that vague
promises of reform after subjugation af-
ford no solution of the insular problem;
that with q substitution of COM
must come q chanSe in the
past systemssof warfare for one in harmony
with IL new policy which shall no longer
aim to drive the ubans to the shorrible
alternative OF taking to the thicket or
succumbing in misery" that reforms
must be instituted in accordance with the
needs and circumstances of the time and
that these reforms, while designed to give
full autonomy to the colony and to create
a virtual entity and Sself controlled adj
ministration, shall yet conserve and af-
firm tha sovereignty Of Spain by a distri-

basis of mutual interest untainted by
methods OF selfish e%xpediency.
The first acts of the new government
lie in these honorable paths. The policy
of cruel rapine and determination that 80
long shocked the universal sentiment of
humanity has been reversed. Under the
new military commander Il broad elem
ency is preferred. Measures nave already
been set on foot to relive the horrors of
starvation and DEGREES for the application

Recession With Honor Impossible.
That the government of Sagasta has
entered Upon a course from which recess
sion with honor is impossible can hardly
be questioned; that in the few weeks it
has existed it has made earnest of the
sincerity of it's professions is not undeni-
able. l shall not impugn it's sincerity,
nor should Impotence be suffered to en-
barrass it in the task it has undertaken
1t is honestly due to Spain and to our
friendly relations with Spain that she
should be given a reasonable chance to
realize her expectations and to prove the
asserted efficacy of the new order of things
to which she stands irrevOcably commit
ted.
The near future should demonstrate
whether the Indispensable condition of a
righteous peace, just a!iks to the Cubans
and to Spain as we'll as equitable to all
IL interests SO intimately involved in
the welfare of Cuba is likely to be OBJ
tanned. If not, the exigency of further
and other action by the United States
will remain to be taken. When that time
comes that action will be determined in
the line of indisputable right and duty.
1t will be faced. without misgiving or
hesitancy, in the light of the obligation
this government owes to itself and to the
people who have confidcd to it the protec-
lection of their interests and honor and
to humanity.

Work Of Messrs. Wolc oft, Stevenson n
Paine Reviewed.
Under the provisions of the act of con.
gress approved March 8, 1897, for the pro-
motion of international agreement re.
specting bimetallism, l appointed on the
18th day of April, 1897, Hon. Edward O.
Wolcott of Colorado, Hon. Adlai f..
Stevenson of Illinois and Hon.. Charles j.
Paine Of Massachusetts as special ENJOYS
to represent the United States. They
have been diligent in their efforts to Sc.
cure the cooperation of European coun.
tries in the international settlement of the
question, but up to this time have not
plated by their mission.
The gratifying actionof our great sister
republic of France in joining this coun-
agreement among the principal CONNER
and relative value between gold and sill.
yer shall be secured, furnishes assur'
ances that we are not alone among the
larger nations of the world in realizing
the international character Of the prob
lem and in the desire of reaching some
wise and practical solution of it. The
British government published a resume
of the steps taken jointly by the French
ambassador in London and the
special ENJOYS of the United States,
to whom our ambassador Mt London
actively co-operated in the presentation
of this subject to her majesty's govern
ment. This will be laid before congress
Our special ENJOYS have not made their
final report, al further negotiations be-
tween the representatives of this govern
ment and the governments Of other coun'
tries are pending and in contemplation,

raised in certain quarters respecting tn

ment to that government. All that was
asked or expected was that some safe way
might be speedily provided and perma-
nent peace restored. 1t SO CHANGED that
the consideration of this offer addressed
to the same Spanish administration which
had declined the tenders of my predecessor
and which for more than two years had
poured men and treasure into Cuba in
the fruitless effort to suppress the
revolt, fell to others. Between
the departure of General Woodford, the
new envoy, and his arrival in Spain, the
statesman who had shaped the policy of
his country fell by thehand of an assassin,
and although the cabinet of the late prem
Ter still held Office and received from our
envoy the proposals he bore, that cabinet
gave place within a few days thereafter to
q new administration under the leadershiu
Of Sagasta.
In the Direction Of Better Understandine.
The reply to our note was received on
the 23d Of October. 1t is in the direction
of a better understanding. 1t appreciates
the friendly proposals of this government.
1t admits that our country is deeply at.
fected by the war in Cuba and that it's de.
sire for peace is just. 1t declares that the
present Spanish government is bound by
every consideration to a change of policy
that SHOULD satisfy the United States and
pacify Cuba within a reasonable time. To
this end Spain has decided to put into
effect tie political reforms heretofore ad'
vocated by the present premier, without
hating for any consideration in the path
which in its judgment leads to peace. The
military preparations will continue, it ii
said, but will be humane and be conduct
ed with all regard for private rights, beine
accompanied by political action leading tt

made practical, and a distinct advance
has been made by giving a hearing before
dismissal upon all cases where incompe.
tency is charged or demand made for the
removal of officials. This last has been
done without impairing the power of re
moval, one of the vital safeguards of the
system. Much remains to be done before
the system can be perfected, and the pres.
ident says that he shall not hesitate to
exempt cases which he thinks have been
properly included in the classified service
or include those which in his Judgment
will best promote the public service. The
system has the approval Of the people and
1t will be his endeavor to uphold and ex-
tend it.
Department Reports.
Concluding the message, the president
I am forced by the length of this mes
sage to omit many important references
to affairs OF the government with which
congress will ave to deal at the present
session. They are fully discussed in the
departmental reports, to all of which I in
vtt0 your n attention.
The estimates of the expense of the
government by the several departments
will, I am sure, have your careful
scrutiny. While the congress may
not find it IN easy task to re-
duce the expense Of the government,
it should not encourage their increase.
These expenses will, in my Judgment, adj
init Of q decrease in many branches of the
government without injury to the public
service. 1t is q commanding duty to keep
the appropriations within the receipts Of
the government and thus avoid Q deficit.

The right OF visit n search on the seas
and seizure Of vessels and cargoes and
c~ontraband of war and good prize under
admiralty law must under international
law be admitted as a legitimate conse-
quence of a proclamation of belligerency.
While according the equal belligerent
rights defined by public Law to each party
in ports disfavors would be imposed
on both which, while nominally equal
would weigh heavily in behalf of Spain
herself.

ports of Cuba her maritime rights could
be asserted not only for the military in
vestment Of the island but up to the mar
gin of our wi territorial waters and a
condition of things would exist for which
the Cubans within their own domain
could not hope to create q parallel; while
its creation through aid or sympathy from
within our domain would be even more
impossible than now with the additional
obligations Of international neutrality
we would perforce assume
The enforcement of this enlarged and
onerous code of neutrality would only be
influential within our own jurisdiction
by land and sea and applicable by our
w Observation-Disclosures. 1t could impart
to the Unitel States no jurisdiction be-
tween Spain and the insurgents. 1t would
give the United States no right of inter
vention to enforce the conduct of the
strife within the paramount authority of
Spain according to the international code
Of war. For these reasons I regard the
recognition of the belligerency of the Gu
ban insurgents as now unwise and there
