quite thoroughly into his tour of the is
land. The Herald contained on his return
an interview giving the hrst account or
the conclusions which he reached, which
were that Intervention was necessary. He
now gives interesting details of reasons
on which he basis these conclusions

THE government is pursuing a very
adroit course in promoting the autonomy

is now filling all offices in the island with
native Cubans, selecting as many as
possible from men who have been in arms.
They are getting only few of eX-inSurg-

men are called 'presentados,' and it is an
interesting fact that most of them come

insurgents.
Judge King in talking with Washing
ton newspaper. says that the evidences of
the increasing death rate can be had any
time by watching the OK carts and their
sad mortuary loads, as women and
children are carted away to add to the
list of the dead. He believes that there
was a great lack of foresight in delaying
the appeal on behalf of these poor people
for so long a time. Thousands of lives
could have been saved had the official APP
peal of the government been made eight
months ago He does not understand
why it was not then made. or made at any
time since the facts of the suffering
must have been known longer than eight
months ago to the government.

patriots.
