 Graham Bulletin: A few days ago Mrs PascOe and Wm. Moore of That cher, had Surveyor Stafford make them a plat of tract of land lying south of Thatcher which they desired to enter. Surveyor Stafford made the map showing the proposed canal run niDg along the extreme south end, with laterals at different points over the $40 acres. Mrs. Pascoe and MT. Moore came to SolomOnville and en- tered the land under the Desert En- try act, paying sl60 cash down. They returned home and in few days were mortified to learn that the land they had entered was not under the pro- posed canal and therefore perfectly useless. They hurried back to Solo, monville in hope of stopping the en- try but arrived too late. A telegram to the land office at Tucson brought the response that the filing was al- ready matter of record and would have to stand until the matter could be taken up before the general land of1ce at Washington.

THE FUTURE OF CUBA.
The Government Already Considering tho
Question.

Washington, June 5.-prcsident Me
hinleys plan of organizing n repub.
lichn form of government In Cuba that
sh6ll represent all classes and factions
the rich and poor, the sugar plant
ers, the tobacco manufacturers, the
merchants, the professional men, and
all concerned-with Il legislature elect
ed by the people TO make the laws. and
judiciary and executive chosen In the
same manner to enforce them, is not
approved by the insurgents. Gomez.
Maso and other leaders dissent very
emphatically from such n proposition.
and insist that every man in Cuba who
has been loyal to the Spanish govern
lnent during the revolution or has not
shown active sympathy for the insur-
gents shall be permanently disfran-
chised and forever prohibited from
holding office under the new govern
ment. They declare that nll of the
friends of Cuba llbre are known and
can be ensily identified when they
come into their kingdom. They have
suffered for their love of liberty; they
have fought to drive the Spanish flag
from the West indies, and are entitled
to the fruits of their victory.
Haven't we been fighting and suf-
fering in order to drive out the Span
iards, and are we not entitled to run
the government when they go? Are
the men who have remained loyal to
Spain. and who have assisted Wcyler
and Blanco to defeat us, to share in
the honors and emoluments? Not
much. They can go back to Spain
with the army or we will make them
very unhappy" Thus spoke one of the
most prominent and influential of the
junta after coming directly from
conference with Capote. and In reply
to question he continued:
Universal suffrage? Certainly not.
Such thing is impossible. No man
who has not given active aid and SYM
pathy TO the insurgents will be al
lowed to participate in the election or
hold an office under the new govern
ment. We have fought too long and
too hard to allow such time-servers TO
share the spoils of war: besides that,
If we had universal suffrage the Span
iards would rule the country. They
own the property; they control the cap
ital. they are the merchants and bank
ers and professional men; they own
the railways, the mines. the sugar and
tobacco plantations and the cigar fac
tories, and they have three-fourths of
the people of the island upon their pay
rolls They would, therefore, be able
to control the elections and run us out.
and IL such things can possibly come
to pass we might as well quit fight
