lONGSTREeT'S VIEWS.
Cuba and Porto Rico should Bc Annexed
to the United states.

New York, June 1.-General James
Longstreet. the aged commissioner of
railways and former confederate officer
and minister to Turkey. Is staying at
the Empire hotel for a few days upon
business matters connected with his
office. Before the first call for volun-
teers the general announced that his
services were at the disposal of the
government. Last night he repeated
that he was ready to give his services
and regretted that because he was be-
yond the age limit they could not be
accepted.
THE annexation of Cuba. it seems to
me-" he said, will follow the expulsion
of Spain from the island. do not
think the insurgent government will be
satisfactory or stable for any length of
time, and the lack of peace will re-
suit in a demand of Americans for its
annexation to this country. Why, the
autonomist government was superior
to what ] believe the insurgents will
provide. Porto Rico, l suppose, we
must have. too. The latter, however.
will probably give us little trouble. and
1t is rich, fertile country. The Phil
ippines l do not know much about, and
IL j have read correct accounts in the
papers il must be a land of great re-
sources and as such will be bad
drawback on our government"
When asked how long the war would
last. General Longstreet said he had
little means of judging, but he thought
that If policy of starvation was
adopted it would mean a matter of only
a few weeks.
IF the Spanish armies in various
parts of the island are cut off from
supplies" he said. II do not see how
they can stand 1t more than six weeks

Is also discussing the future of the Phil

a step unless she was given her share

The Wasp's Daring Trip.

New York, June 1.-THE converted
yacht Wasp was doing scout duty off
Cienfuegos last Wednesday night. From
the outside of the harbor the Wasp
could see several topmasts sticking up
Just inside of MORO castle. They looked
like Spanish warships and the COM
mander Of the Wasp determined to in
vestigate. Under full speed the Wasp
entered the harbor and went within two
miles of the city wharves. Here IL was
proved that the conjecture had been
correct. for sure enough the topmasts
belonged to three Spanish cruisers. The
wasps officers are sure the cruisers are
part of Cervera's fleet. Why they did
not fire on the little American warship
and blow her out of the water Is a
mystery. but they did not and the
Wasp turned and steamed back out of
the harbor
