PAcIFIcATION OF THE ISLAND EASY.
The Better classes VIII Welcome =
Stable Government when IL Ia known
in Cuba that SPANS Authority
IL at an End.

New York.-A special to the Times
from Washington says:
Careful observers of Cuban condi-
tions, who have been consulted.by the
Administration concerning the course
to be followed in that island to bring
about good order and good feeling, are
OF the opinion, and have expressed
themselves to the President, that
SPANS withdrawal and the assump-
tion OF temporary control by the
United States will be followed by
something like the demonstration OF
approval that has been given in Porto
Rico TO the hosting Of the Stars and
Stripes. Said one OF these gentlemen,
in discussing the problem of establish
ing a good government:
when it is fully known in Cuba
that Spain's authority is at an end,
thousands OF men who have chung TO
the hope that Spain would retain her
supremacy will gladly turn to this
Government that will assure the sta
bility that loyal Cubans trusted that
Spain would yet give to the Govern
ment Of the island. do not believe
that this loyalty was SO sentimental
that the Cubans OF Spanish inclina-
tions will abandon their homes, their
property, their families and all they
have, and rush back to Spain. These
Spanish Cubans constitute the better
part Of the business community OF
Cuba. They have had little to say
about the Government That has been
essentially peninsular, and latterly
altogether military They have no
desire to Cypress or abuse the Cubans
who have sympathized with the in
surgents. Few of them will cherish
any luminosity toward the late insur-
gents. The insurgents, the loyal Gu
bans fear, may not be quite so willing
to let bygones be bygones. There are
many politicians among them and they
will hope to have the opportunity to
punish those who would not help
them when they were most in need of
encouragement"
The Administration will be prepared
Immediately after the cessation of
hostilities and thel beginning of the
evacuation to hear of reports from
Cuba, not unlike those sent from
Ponce and Yanco, of the cordial well
come of the flag and the authority
of the United States. Should this
turn out to be the case, the problem in
Cuba will be greatly simplitied. If
the free people of Cuba, left to their
own inclinations by Spain, manifest a
decided determination to get along
without internal strife, the Admins
tration will be encouraged to hope that
the resolution of Congress distinctly
waving an intention on the part of
the United States to annex the island
may be adhered to.
The expectation is that as towns are
abandoned by the troops of General
Blanco and civil authorities are af-
forded opportunity to speak freely,
q common anxiety to have some au-
thority that will maintain order as be-
tween the former Spanish adherents
and the forcible rebellion will lead to
requests for the presence of troops Of
the United States and the hosting OF
the United States flag,
Some persons look for similar DEM
onstrations in favor of the United
States authority to those made in
Porto Rico, and not few acquisitions
for United States flags to supply the
Cuban demand.
Should this feeling prevail among
the Cubans as well as among the
Spanish, the pacification and entire
freedom of the island will not be far
off. The Administration would be
gratified il the Cubans would show
so clear capacity for taking their own
affairs in hand without trying to even
up old scores with the rifle and
machete.
