of coffee to her other output. The CON-
merce of Puerto Rico has always borne
proportion to the total commerce Of
the Antilles quite ont Of relation to her
size Her remarkable prosperity has
been due not only TO her excellent cli-
mate and soil, but to great extent also
to hor indisposition to political upheav-
al. The revolutionists in Cuba have
vainly struggled to raise a similar party
of some strength ia Puerto Rico. The
reason for their indifferent success is
partly historical, as may be seen by
glance backward.
Puerto Rico began to develop her nat
ural resources only about 10 years ago.
AT that time Spain was paying but lit
tle attention to her West Indian colo
nies, except as watering stations
fresh water being then. in the days of
sailing ships, much the same desider-
atum which coal is now. The Spanish
government was occupied chiefly with
the rich rsines Of Mexico and Peru, and
Puerto Rico served for long time
merely as a place Of punishment for
convicts. 1t is thus only since the great
commotion of 1920 that the Antilles be-
gan to rise in importance. Being less,
outwardly valuable, and hence less mis-
ruled because attracting less attention,
they all remained loyal 60 the mother

Rico is peculiarly adapted to become
the center Of O 1ourishing commerce.
She lies close TO Cuba, Haiti and ia
maica. as well as to the gulf Of Mexico
and the bay Of Honduras She is con-
tiguous to the possessions OF France and

al voting be done.

"As to the political parties Of Cuba,
in my opinion the best educated and
most intelligent classes Of the island
have been represented by tho autono-
mists This party was composed mostly
of Cubans, who, although desirous of
seeing their country freed from Spanish
government, had no faith in complete
independence until tho Cubans had
gradually learned what was meant by
self government These people for the
most part have refused to espouse tho
insurgent cause. believing in evolution
and not revolution. The consequence is
that, though they form the best class Of
citizens capable Of self government in
Cuba, they are hated by those who havo
been holding out in the Cuban bush for
threo years past, and consequently IL
the insurgents are allowed tho privilege,
after the Spanish troops arc subdued by
our troops, an indiscriminatc slaughter
Of these people will take place.
IF the United States wishes 10 end
this war quickly, il should hasten at
once to capture some port of Cuba, for
tify it and hold il against Spain. 1t
would take specially large force of
men to gain this end, but a base of sup
plies would be established, and If it
should be- 40 decided the bulk Of the
United States troops could be kept in
Florida until after tho rainy season,
when operations could energetically
commence, though think in this prob
lem of subjugating the Spaniards the
question of yellow fever will have TO 10
eliminated 20 great extent, for 10 is q
part Of the island, and he who would go
there must take his chances.

Dr.Diaz
= -on the
CubanS

DR.. Ruis Diaz, Cuban of considera-
bile note, who was arrested and deported
by Weyler and who is now attached to
the staff Of General Miles, tells an in
teresting story OF conditions as they ex-
ist in Cuba today.
DIR. Diaz Ia not an enthusiast over
the prospect Of the Cubans ever being
able to drive out the Spaniards without
the aid Of the United States army. lie
also doubts the capacity Of the Cubans
for self government
II do not think the Cubans will ever
be able to drive out the Spaniards un-
aided" said DIR. Diaz. ''It makes no
difference how much assistance they
get from the United States. The work
Of the American army is cut out for it,
and that fact may as well be realized
now as later. believe it should be the
policy Of this government to take pos
session of the island at once, after
which, under the jurisdiction of the
United States. the Cubans should be al
lowed to decide by vote, irrespective of
previous opinion, the form of govern
ment which they may desire.
II firmly believe it will be necessary
to keep the United States troops in Gu
ba for at least two years to establish
such government ON firm footing
and get the people into shape for inde-
pendent self government. For this rea-
son the army might as well go to the
island now as later, for it will have to
remain there not only for two years,
but large number of men may have to
be kept there for five years.
'The army will have to be on the is
land for at least two years because of
the great destruction caused by the con-
tending forces This destruction has
naturally caused the people of the island
to lose confidence in one another. Gu
bans are divided in opinion. and there
are Spanish property owners who would
willingly embrace any form Of good
government under which their rights of
property and person would be protect
ed. Again, it will fall to the lot of the
United States, to great extent, to de-
eide who are the property owners, that
their rights and titles may be respected
and the owners be given q guarantee
that they shall enjoy the fruits of their
industry. A complete census of the is
land will have to be taken in order that
