CUBA AND PORTO RICO.

Plans for Their Temporary GOVsrnmSnt
Already Under CONFEDERATION BY the
ProsIdent and ths Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, August 1f.-Plans
for the temporary government OF Cuba
and the territory which will be ac-
qulred from Spain as a result Of the
war, are now under serious consldeFa-
tlon by the President and members OF
the cabinet Porto Rico. as an actual
acquisition to the territory of the United
States, will be placed in charge Of
military governor, who will exercise
supervisory control OF all Of the func-
lions OF government, under direction OF
the President, until congress shall de-
termlne upon a permanent form Of gov
ernment for the island.
The President, under the constitution
and laws, has no authority to go be-
yond this preliminary or temporary
stage In the establishment OF any sys-
tenn Of governmental control, and al
though 1t is altogether probable that in
his message to congress on the subject
he will exercise his constitutional priv
ilege Of making recommendations, upon
congress alone will deVolve the respon-
sibilitV and duty OF determining the
character of the political relations
which Porto Rico shall permanently
bear to the United States. There are
reasons for the belief that the President
himself favors a colonial form Of gov
ernment, and that this view is shared
by members OF the cabinet.
Canada Is cited as having a model
colonial government, which Is satisfac-
tory alike to the majority Of its people
and to the mother country. This sys-
tenn, however, It is believed, can be put
into operation only after the lapse OF
the people have demonstrated satlsfac-
torilH their ability to govern themselves
lntelligently in all legal mntters.
Upon evacuation of Cuba, It Is be-
lIeVed to be the Intention OF the PresI-
dent to establish for the whole island
q temporary military government simi-
lar to that now In operation at Santl-
ago, When order has been fully re-
stored and the people have settled down
to thel. peaceful occupations, II is be-
lIeved to be the view OF the President
that a convention of representatives OF
the people should be called to vote upon
the question OF a form OF government
for the island. The presence OF the
army OF the United States would be a
guarantee that every citizen who would
subscribe to an oath binding himself to
support whatever form Of government
should be agreed upon, should have the
unquestIoned right to vote for whom
soever he pleased to represent him at
this convention. The action OF this
body, however. would have to be sub
mItted to the United States for approval
or disapproval. 1t Is pointed out that
this convention OF representatives OF
the whole people in the free exercise Of
their choice might express a wish to
become a colonial independencF OF the
United States. or might favor n repub-
lean form Of government, or possibly n
majority might ask 20 be annexed to
the United States. In any Of these con-
tingencies, It is believed that their
wishes would meet the approval OF the
President and his advisers.

Western r. r. The tract contains two
thousand three hundred and fifty-seven
acres, about One-ffth of which is table
land and rich creek bottom, the uplands
are gently undulating; not hill on the
place. Soil is a clay loan and very pro-
ductiye, the bottoms are as fine timothy
lands as any in the State and produce
heavy crops of grain. The farm is
beautifully watered by springs and
streams There are two residences
(about one and half miles apart; one
contains eleven large rooms, several
halls, CLOSETS, porches, &c, the other
six rooms. There are the usual farm
houses such as barns, tenant houses,
granaTy, &c.
Some excellent fruit-Apples, Peaches,
Cherries Grapes, &c. Th'eTe is not

it, and to make n speedy sale offer it
