Jacksonville, Fla, Aug 24-In the
Florida camps and cities the war is no
longer discussed. The question OF
supreme Importance now concerns the
plans for the reconstruction of Cuba.
What VIII be the political future of
the island?' How extensive is the
military occupation to be-? and in
cuiries of similar import are the first
to be put by every man who has re-
turned from Cuba since the signing of
the protocol.
There is probably no other man in
the country who can speak with so
much authority or so interestingly on
this subject as Major General Fitz-
hugh Lee. Since the probability of
his appointment as military governor
of Cuba during the period of Amer
lean occupation became q WelI-defined
certainty, General Lee has maintained
a dignified silence, refusing to talk
for publication. Before he was sum-
moned to Washington, however, he
talked freely with the correspondent
in regard to the subject OF Cuba's
political future, as he was then able
to do in an unofficial capacity From
the tone of these utterances, there is
no doubt that General Lee under
stands and is in complete accord with
the views u lllS administration, WIFI
regard to the treatment Of the Cuban
situation. General Lee said
"The rules and regulations prescrib-
ing the course to be followed on the
island of Cuba, now that the war is
over, will be decided upon by the gov
eminent of the United States, but only
so far as to embrace a provisional
control upon the part Of the United
States, pending the formation of a
government which viii have the ap-
prevail and consent of majority of the

Island Military Occupation.

voters of the island. as decreed and
set forth by their Representatives as
sembled in legislative conference.
Without OF course being able to
foreshadow the policy of the govern
ment of the United States, it may be
sald that during the transition state
from Spanish to home rule this gov
eminent Will insist upon peace and
order everywhere, upon full security
to human life, and upon a strict main
tenance of property rights of all
classes and natiOnalities. In order to
erect that purpose, it viii be neces-
sary TO have an armed OCCUPATION by
the United States troops as a sort of
conStabulary, or in other words, as a
guarantee to the people who are now
on the island, and to those who may
hereafter come, that law and order
and peace will be insisted upon in all
portions of Cuba.
In taking this action the United
States can scarcely be accused of an
intention to interfere in any way, shape
or form with the government of the is
land, which It is perfectly willing to
leave TO the people themselves, pro-
Vlded the guarantees as before stated
are satisfactory.

people OF the island TO determine. BY
proving to the Spanish soldiers and
residents who elect to remain there and
to Spanish merchants and property
holders and others. that a safe and sui
table government will be assured them,
and that their rights will be respected
in every particular as strictly as the
rights oe all other classes of citizens,
it is to be ho9ed that their assistance
may be obtained, with that of the con-
servatiYe Cubans and Americans ia

troops Of the United States in an I'M
friendly or hostile spirit. They must
realize that it is to the arms of the
United States that they owe their
speedy deliverance from Spanish rule;
that the mission of the United States
in the island is not one of conquest,
but of friendly concern for the estab-
lishment of order and that it is to their
advantage, as well as to that of the
other residents of the island, TO make
the task as light as possible.
An encouraging factor in the prob
lem of Cuba's political future is pre-
sented by the attitude Of the provision
al government, as explained by their
representatives in this country and by
the emissary who has just come from
their headquarters in Cuba. From
this it appears that those who now con-
troll the administration of civil affairs
in the island are willing and anxious
to assist to the fullest extent of their
power in bringing about the establish
ment of a suitable and satisfactory
government. 1t seems to be no part
of their plan to seize the reins of
government, or even to hold the au-
thority that has already been en-
trusted to them, as was attempted in
the case of some of the South Amer
lean countries on the achievement of
their independence. On the contrary,
the terms under which the present civil
administra ton exists. and which ii has
declared It's intention of respecting,
provide for the calling of an assembly
representing as nearly as possible all
classes in Cuba, and to turn over to
this assembly their present authority
and leave to it the task of construct
ing new government.
This procedure, if carried out, Will
be the first step taken by the Cubans,
under the protection of the United
States. toward their own government
as free people. It's conduct will be.
in q measure, test of the ability of
the Cuban people to control and direct
their own affairs. To the American
who has watched the successful oper-
alton of our own constitution, It will
doubtless be an encouraging indica-
ton that the political leaders of the
Cuban people seem disposed to accept
its principles and general outline for
their. own government.
THE greatest need of Cuba at the
present time is peace-peace, in which
to bind up and heal the wounds in

will remain as formed until those in
terested. under forms of law, shall pro-
| coed TO change it.
THE solution of the problem of es-
tablishing q Fair and stable govern
ment in Cuba does not present any I'M
sUrmountable difficulties. 1t is almost
certain that the interests of the Deo-
pie from the United States and other
countries who are in Cuba now or who
settle there in the future, will become

airy riots. even should there be found
an element DISPOSED to Them. The
Spaniards and the foreign born inhabi-
tants oe the island will undoubtedly
realize that it is 20 their advantage to
work in harmony with the conservative
and lawabiding portion of the natives
for the strict observance of the rights
of all.
ut is difficult to say how many
American troops will be required for
the occupation of Cuba during the per
iod pending the organization of a sta
bic and efficient local government The
number should be sufficient to inspire
confidence in the complete Dreserva-
ton of order. so that capital and en-
terprise Will not be afraid to invade
the island and do their part in the
work of its restoration to peaceful
prosperity. The change will no doubt
be gradual, the United States troops
taking the place of the Spanish SOL
diery as fast as the latter are with
drawn from the various garrisons. AS
the mission of the Americans is to pre-
serve order and not to wage war, 1t will
scarcely be necessary to move them in

wise. however. to the government Of
the United States to take advantage of
this opportunity to give some of the
volunteer soldiers who did not have the
opportunity to participate in the active
hostilities chance to secure a some
what more thorough military training
than they have thus far obtained. This
consideration may lead to the employ
ment of a larger body of men than
would otherwise be used, and to The
taking of some of the newer volunteer
regiments for this service.

the fact that the target was moving

affair was simply a drill at general
quarters. One of the lessons learned
by the Brooklyn (but, it is really
superfluous) is the wonderful capa-
bilities Of the American nan-of-war's

TALL SMOKESTACKS.
The one popularity of construction
in the Brooklyn most prominent to the
casual observer is her lofty (and ugly)
smoke tunnels. She carries three

as high as the signal masts. These
stacks were advocated by Chief En-
gineer Melville, and the testimony of
the engineering force of the cruiser is
in their favor The lofty tunnels
really give the result which is usually
obtained by the use of forced draught
"a device which experience has proved
liable to lead to the ruin of the boilers.
The forced draught system causes

the tube ends This is not present in
natural draught, and the Brooklyn's
experience has shown that as good
results can be obtained by frightening
the smokestacks as by the employment
of the forced draught system.
The lesson learned by the Brooklyn
in the Spanish-American war can be
in these recommendations
