ANNEXATION INEVITABLE.

Havana, Cuba, Nov. 24,-Domingo
Mendez Carote, late viee-president OF
the Cuban republic, ana now president
of the executive committee represent
ing the general assembly of the army
and practically head of the provincial
government, expressed this morning
his belief that the future of Cuba would
inevita bly, be annexation to the United
States.
This he declared was the natural
outcome of the recent events, but he
denied that the aspiration of indepen-
dence which has so long animated the
Cuban people Is temporarily satisfied.
They wish for ashort period at least to
see their own flag waving over free
Cuba. They recognize that annexation
will come shortly, and by the unani-
nous voice of the Cuban people them
selves, but they desire to see the cause
for which they had fought crowned
with success.

SPAIN GIVES UP.

Paris, Nov. 29'~The joint session
of the peace commissioners were held
promptly this afternoon at 2 O'Clock
The Spanish commissioners immediate
ly ann ounced their acceptance OF The
American demand, The two commits
sions were in seperate session all
morning, There is no denying that
the whole European continent will bit
terly resent the American acquisition
of the Philippines. This sentiment Is
not confined to the diplomats, but here
in Paris the opinion is constantly ex'
pressed in the highest French society
France has been very inimical to the
United States all through this affair
and has lily concealed her rage at
american success. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the war first began
Am orleans were openly snubbed IN
Paris, but-after American success, more
politeness was shown.

1T is DEMOCRACY'S TURN.

If history repeats itself, says Kan
says City Times, he next President
will be q Democrat. Since Grants
second election the Democrats and Re-
publicars have carried the country
alternately. In 1872 Grant was elect
ed, and in 1876 Tllden carried the
country. Tilden was swindled out of
the presidency, but that does not do
away with the fact that he was. elected.
The election Of 1880 gave the presi-
dency to Garfield, and to Cleveland in
1884, Then came Harrison, who was
succeeded by Cleveland, and who in
turn, was succeeded by Mckinley. If
this rule holds good the Democracy
Will carry the country in 190O.-Staun-
