A USE FOR CUBA
A Good Dumping Ground for Undesir
able Immigrants

0OAV AAAAAAAA OAAsS
BOSTON, Aug. 26.-In his paper on The
Possibilities OF Cuba" read before the
American Association Tor the Advance
ment Of Science. Prof. Robert T. Hill Of the
United States Geological Survey said that,
although It was the solemn duty Of the
United States to carry out the declaration
of Congress to establish Cuban independ-
ence, there is strong feeling on the part
OF the American and foreign residents of
Cuba that the ultimate destiny OF this is
land will be absorption into the American
Union. That 1t can be ultimately brought
about by natural and friendly means there
Is no doubt
Prof Hill then referred to two import
anil facts which the America IS who con-
templated invading the prospective field
should bear in mind. First. that Cuba Is
an old and settled country, in which the law
of mineral titles are largely fixed, and that
It offers no opening for booming such as has
followed the opening UP of new and unset
tied countries.
A second fact to be remembered Is that
Cuba is situated within the tropics and
northern races cannot be established there
except at the sacrifice Of many lives. Prof.
Hill said that with the rehabilitation of
Cuba the island will offer agricultural op-
portunities for the small farmer. fields for
the investment Of capitalists In the line Of
municipal and public Improvements. en-
ployment of labor and the establishment Of
winter homes and resorts for the leisure
classes. He sees in the coming demand for
acclimated labor solution of the immigra-
ton question In the United States by de-
fiecting the tide from Southern Europe
