OPINIONS EXPRESSED AT THE
CABINET MEEING.

Washington, July pa letter written
by General Garcia was read at the cabi-
net meeting today and discussed at some
length and the opinion was expressed
that it evidently was based upon wrong
conception of the purposes and motives
of our people. These, it was said, should
have been explained to him and to all the
Cuban leaders. NJ.
If it was true. as had been reported, a
member of the cabinet said that Garcia
was not. invited to participate in the cere-
monies attending the raising of the
American flag over Santiago it was a
mistake. Everything reasonable, he said,
should be. done to win and keep the
friendship of the insurgent Cubans, and
they should be made to know that the
only purpose of the United States in wag-
ing war against Spain was to securs for
oppression of Spain's rule and stable
and satisfactory government established
by the people themselves. Of course, II
was added, it is not the intention of this
government to drive the Spaniards out
and then formally hand.the island over to
the insurgents or to any other particular
class Or faction. This governments had
never intimated such purpose, but, on
the contrary, it was well understood that
stable government for and by all of the
people of Cuba had been the-only purpose
and end sought to be attained. The de-
tails incident to the. establishment of
such government it was said, have
never been discussed by the cabinet at
any great length but there is no great
difference of opinion as to the general
plan, All the people of the island it was
declared must be given an opportunity to
express their views as to the character of
constitution under which they were to
live and also as to the men who shall
make and execute the law. The insur.
gent Oubans certainly could not consis-
tently ask for. more than this.
