permit themselves to be reasoned with. 1t
is merely question of knowing how to
handle them. You have got to make every
thing plain to them and appeal to their
common sense. 1t must be borne in mind
that their ways of thinking are entirely diff
ferent from ours and they look on things
in an entirely different light, but once they
understand that what we intend to do is
for their good, they will hardly cause US
any trouble. Take for instance, the way
the Cubans behaved before the battle Of
La Luisama. We had intended to have them
cooperate with us and informed the Cuban
officers of our intentions. In consequence of
some Misunderstanding the forces we ex-
did not arrive in time but instead two
hundred men under General Castillo put in
an appearance and the latter announced
that he was ready to go into the fight with
US, but ne wanted to place his men in the
front. pointed out to him that this would
be impracticable and asked the men, for
instance, if they should receive orders from
their general to go to Siboney, and General
Chaffee, who commanded the brigade
should order otherwise whom they would
their general l showed them that this
would result in a conflict of authority
which would do us more harm than good
and finally / succeeded in making them as
they need is fair treatment and good diplo-
matte argument and we shall have no
trouble.
THE administration has been seriously
considering the question of enlisting Gu
bans for the United States army, and am
quite in favor of the idea. | think they
would make good soldiers with a little
training under American officers and once
they become like American soldiers they
can be relied on to take care of Cuba
themselves Of course. at present they are
not tit to govern and they will have no OPP
portunity of doing so.'

Dewey's present force amounts to 30.S32
tons, while that of the German commander

however, are better armed than the German

vantage OF having been under IRE. The
monitors Monterey and Monadnock are
mainly serviceable for work in smooth

for the Pacific coast, as would be the case
