AFTER THE SURRENDER.

The surrender Of Santiago. and with II, rs Is
TO be assumed from the official dispatches. n
considerable area Of Cuban territory brings the
United States face to face with the problem OF
governing that territory and taking the first
step In establishing an administration. either
Cuban or American. TO be extended over the
whole island rs we become masters Of H. The
first step will not necessarily indicate our final
determination rs to method We might now
undertake TO rule the district ourselves, and
later find that the Cubans were prepared to do
the work and so intrust Il TO them: or we might
ask the CubaDs to maintain law and order In
corner OF the island they have fought to possess
only to discover that they were lot yet pre-
pared for peaceful administration and be com
PEELED to supersedc them with our own author
ity But whatever course we take, we must at
once insure to the inhabitants Of the conquered
territory safety in their homes, security In their
property and protection from the private hate
and vengeance cloaked patriotism which are
so likely 10 follow in the train of civil war
So far az the particular territory surrendered
by General Toral goes, we ha &c accomplished
the object of our war and must carry out our
part Of the programme and give ii a humane
and stable government. We have gained not
roughly speaking, sixty miles wide and hun
dred long, containing cities. harbors, villages
and plantations. Can the Cuban Republic Of
which we have heard so much take charge OF
this country pending the completion Of the con-
quest and the final setting up Of civil rule? II
is said to have a provisional government fully
adequate for rule, but hitherto only lacking in
something to rule over. IL 1t has the police and
constabulary and respect for civil order adc-
quate to tranquillze the region wrested from
Spain. 1t will now have the chance to prove it,
