THE FUTURE OF CUBA.
Commissioners to Discuss Many Prob
lens Concerning the Island Have
Arrived In Warrington.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The members
Of the commission delegated to visit the
United States TO discuss with officials
which confront both Cubans and Amer
leans on the island have arrived in
Washington. The commission is head
ed by Gen. Calixto Garcia, the veteran
soldier and leader
In general sense it is the purpose
Of the commission to discuss with the
officials of the administration all ques-
lions relating to the future of the island
and its people. One of the principal
questions will be that relating to the
disposition Of the Cuban army. In the
course of an interview Gen. Garcia said:
1T would be hardship for the Cuban
army to disband at this time without re-
ceiving pay for its services in the field.
When the revolution began the Cubans left
their homes to fight for the freedom and
Independence Of the island. Through the
assistance OF the United States the yoke
of Spain has been thrown Off forever, and
the soldiers IRE now anxious to return once
more to peaceful pursuits. In a majority
OF cases. however. their homes have been
destroyed and their lands laid waste. They
hope some method may be provided where
by they may be given sufficient means to
gain q new start In life"
Concerning the proposition which has
been made to annex the island to the
United States, Gen. Garcia said:
Il do not think that It is Il question which
can be discussed or settled at present be-
cause the congress OF the United States
has declared by most solemn enactment
that the people OF Cuba ought to be free
and Independent. l have such faith In the
honor and integrity OF the United States
that ! am satisfied that declaration OF
congress will be carried out. Other things
are matters OF time and detail"
Gen. Garcia says the Cubans are act
ing in the utmost good faith, and that
they believe the United States govern
1nent is acting and will continue to act
in the same way. He and other Cubans
are willing TO join this government in
its effort to obtain for the island u free,
independent and stable government.
He believes the Cuban people are pre-
pared to establish und maintain such q
government. and is satisfied that time
will demonstrate the accuracy of his
views. He has no objection to the send
ing of American troops to the island to
afford the population protection pend
lug the establishment of the new gov
eminent and the creation, under that
government. of proper army and po-
lice force. Indeed, he says. the Cubans
themselves are willing to be enlisted rs
such garrison force, in whole or in part,
rs this government may deem dcsir-
able, but suggests that when Amer
lran soldiers are sent TO the island
they be placed under smart restraint
in order to prevent the recurrence of
such affairs as that at San Luis In
making this comment, Gen. Garcia dis
claimrd any reflection upon the Amer
lean army, for which he expresses the
highest respect.

mission Monday afternoon consented
without condition to relinquish Cuba
and to cede Porto Rico, Guam and the
Philippine islands. The document pre-
eenting this acceptance contained only
300 words. 1t opened with reference
to the final terms of the United States
and said that the Spanish commission
ers, after having taken cognizance Of
the terms proposed by the Americana,
replied that their government had tried
to give as equitable an answer as pos
sible, but that they were not prepared
to commit their government to the ac-
ceptance Of the principles embodied in
the American argument. Spain rejects
these principles, the note continues, "as
she always has rejected them" Bas-
ing her attitude upon the justice of her
cause, the note then says, she still adj
heres to these principles. (which she
has heretofore invariably formulated"
Yields to n Desire for Peace.
However, the note adds, In her desire
for peace, she has gone SO far as to pro-
pose certain compromises, which the
Americans have always rejected. She
has also attempted. 1t is further as
serted. to have submitted to arbitration
some of the material particulars upon
which the two governments differed.
These proposals for arbitration, 1t 10
added, the Americana had equally re-
jected.
Submits to Her Conuucror.
Spain has, however, exhausted all the
resources Of diplomacy in an attempt
to Justify her attitude. Seeing that an
acceptance of the proposal made to
Spain is necessary condition to con-
tinuance of negotiations and seeing
that the resources of Spain are not such
rs to enable her to rcentcr upon war,
she is prepared, in her desire to avoid
bloodshed and from considerations Of
humanity and patriotism, to submit to
the conditions Of the conqucring ma
ton, however harsh they may be. She
is therefore ready to accept the pro-
posals of the American commission as
presented at the last sitting.
