CUBAhs MUST Be PATIENT
Their Control Of the Island a
Distant Glory.
MUST NOT INVADE SANTIAGO
Some Degree of Friction ON Account
of the American Occupancy of the
Conquered Territory Was Ex-
pected-Attftude of the Govern
ment MisunderstOOd.

That there is a certain degree of fric-
tion between Garcia and his officers and
men and the American forces in Cuba is
not surprising to the Washington authori-
ties. In fact 1t has not been expected
that the occupation of territory con-
quered from the Spaniards would meet
with the full favor of the Cuban leaders
and particularly that of Gomez, who has
repea tedly expressed himself as unwilling
to submit to any domination beyond what
might have the approval of the existing
Cuban government.
The Cubans who have been in the field
against Spain altogether misunderstood
the attitude of the American Govern
ment. They have been under the i'm
preston that every mile of territory
after 1t was surrendered by the Span
iards would with little ceremony be sur
rendered over again in a friendly way to
Garcia's forces. Now they are beginning
to see the fallacy of such ideas and II
it should become necessary to give them
a forcible lesson in order to fasten that
impression more firmly it will have to be
done
In their present distressing condition
the Cubans need a strong hand to take
hold. and most of them know this.
1t was quite well understood here that
the Government has at no time contem-
plated turning over the control of the is
land at once to the Cubans. On the con-
trary it has been intended all along that
the process should be a gradual one OF
putting the island wholly under the con-
troll of the insurgents.
1t will be considerable time before that
is done Meanwhile, the system of mill
tary government will be applied just as
it has now been inaugurated at Santiago.
Without any unnecessary or too severe
rupture of local customs and laws. the
theory of the American Government will
obtain in the readjustment of coEi:i-
tions as they now exist in Cuba.
1t is not apprehended that when the
situation is clearly understood by the Gu
bans, when they know that the new hand
among them is as friendly as it is firm.
there will much longer be any cause
of friction.

1MMUNEs TO GUARD SANTIAGO.
Two Regiments Will Sail for That
City Tomorrow

Santiago's permanent garrison, the
first and second immune regiments. will
sail for Santiago tomorrow, 1t is stated
at the War Department.
Colonel Richie and Colonel Hood. the
commanders Of the regiments received
their orders from the Adtutant Generals
office today. and are now making their
final preparations
One of the regiments is at Covington.
La. and the other at Galveston. Texas.
They will proceed to New Orleans today
and embark at that port tomorrow.
The final decision of the War Depart
ment Is that the city and the province
of Santiago shall be permanently gar
risoned only by the immunes. Four
other regiments will start for Cuba
within few days. One or more of these
will probably re-enforce the Garrison at
Santiago city and the others will be sent
to the larger interior towns.
Three regiments of this second detach-
ment are coiored troops and are believed
to be as nearly immune as possible.
Every one of the six regiments has been
recruited especially for service in Cuba.
1t is believed that the fever will make
no headway among the immunes.
