PRESIDENT MASO SPEAKS FOR CUBA
Says an Army Of Occupation Is Unnecessary and Annexa-
ton Is Inevitable

In order that the real attitude of the
provisional government of Cuba might
be thoroughly understood upon the
questions of annexation or independ-
enee, President Bartolome Maso has
entrusted to Mr.. George Reno, special
envoy between the government of Cuba
and the government at Washington, an
address to the people of America, in
which is clearly laid down the views
of himself and his cabinet upon those
topics which most viGally concern the
future Of the island. 1t is the first and
only address Of General Maso to the
citizens Of the United States, and as
such it is of great interest and import
ance. 1t has not hitherto been pub
ished. President Maso wrote il at the
government headquarters in La Esper-
ANA, on Sept. IS. 1t was brought at
once to America by Mr.. Reno. The fol-
lowing is a close translation of the or
iginal text, made by Mr.. Reno himself:

ton. at the head of an unrecognized
republic, find myself encompassed by

gen by breathing through the nose,
and when he was asleep he naturally
allowed his mouth to drop open. The
result was one prolonged and dreadtul
snore, which Kept up all awake by
turns. During several nights 1 do not
think 1 slept more than an hour or
two, and that toward morning, when
we should have been on the road up
ward. Often when we crawled out in
the morning the cold seemed absolutely
unendurable. 1 have seen our men sit
down and cry like children. so discour-
aged were they by the terrible rigor of
the climate and the inability to sleep
or eat.
while Mr.. Vines and the guide were
making the attempt an the summit of
Aconcagua they encountered most ter
rible perils. They were nearly p, 500
feet above the level of the sea, and
they were so worn by lack of sleep and
loss of food that they were in no mood
to cope with the difficulties of the trait.
Vines told me that he was oppressed
with an almost irresistible desire to
turn and run back, and when they halt
ed they dared not remain long in one
place owing to the OverpOwering lassi-
tude that seized upon their lower limbs
and numbed them so they distrusted
their ability to return. Vines finally de-
vised the scheme of resting while
standing. He and the guides spread
their legs wide apart, grasped the top
of their ice axes, which were firmly
resting on the ground in front, and
leaned forward until their heads rested
on their hands. In this position they
gasped violently ten or twelve times,
finally securing enough oxygen to sup
ply them for few more steps. 1t was
curious how the lack of air seemed to
affect their ability to move. As soon
as their lungs were well filed the sen
sibility came back to their legs, and
they were able to walk again.
EFFECTS OF EXHAUSTION.
During one of the trips 1 remained
behind, and when Vines and the guide
returned that evening I could hardly
recognize the two men, so terribly worn
and exhausted did they look Vines tcf-
tered and shook as if recovering from a.
long fit of fever. His beard and nous
tache were a mass of ice frozen hard
to his helmet. He did not notice my
greetings or congratulations; he did not
answer when asked him if he reached
the summit. He crawled into the tent,
hardly having strength to pull his
sleeping bag over his shoulders, such
was his exhaustion.
AT another time we had a rather ter
rifying experience with Zurgriggen, our
Swiss guide, who was a mountaineer
of great experience. In setting out he

vices in the cause of liberty, every
Cuban soldier on the island will gladly
exchange the rife for a hoe and go to
work. 1t will require no argument, no
persuasion. We have had quite enough
of war. We want now the wealth and
prosperity that come with peace. 1t
is our desire to pay the Cuban army
for its services as soon as possible, not
because liberty is not a sufficient re-
ward, but because the majority of our
men will be compelled to return to
homes that have been burned, to fields
that-haVe run to weeds, to families
that are not only suffering for food,
but are absolutely destitute of clothes
with which to cover their nakedness.
The discharged soldier of Cuba has
nothing with which to start life but
hope. Today we can give him nothing
but thanks and a promise. 1t is our
desire to give him at least some seed
and "a few tools with which to till the
ground.

Of fealty to Cuba he will have voice

island. This rule will apply to all
foreigners and is in accordance with
the principles of true democracy. It is
the. purpose of the next assembly at
Santa Cruz either to reinstate the pres
ent government or elect a new provi-
sional government which viii have the
power to determine who may or may
not have the power to vote, and to call
for a general election in which all per-
sons so entitled shall be given an OPP
pertunity to vote without fear, preju-
dice or restraint. The result of this
election will be the formation of a
stable and satisfactory government
for the island of Cuba, to which the
United States is pledged.

come an American army of occupa-
ton some saying that it is to be $4,000
strong. It is but natural that we
should ask, Why is this great army
sent to Cuba? When the Spaniards are
gone, who is going to fight? Surely
not the Cubans. Such a thought would
be monstrous. You have encouraged
US, you have freed US, you have fed US.
You will continue to advise, to guide
and to protect us. We need your en-
giners, your miners and mechanics,
your school teachers, your settlers and
your capitalists. When the Spanish
forces evacuate Cuba there will be no
more use for soldiers here than there

to disband and attend to long-neglected
fields. The moment we can give to each

very much, because I knew it was his
maxim to begin the day very slowly and
gradually to increase his speed. l saw
that he was suffering from the cold. I
asked him if his feet We're cold, and ne
answered that he had no sensation left
in them at all. He tried to warm them
by kicking about and dancing, but this
proved wholly useless. I directed two

did at once. and ] realized for the first
time what immediate danger he was in

inely alarmed. and we all started work
ing on him with increased force. At
the end of five minutes of rubbing he
complained of sharp pains. This en-
couraSed us greatly. but as the blood
slowly came back to the frozen parts
the agony ne suffered was intense. He
twisted and rolled and screamed and
cursed and finally fought so violently
that we were compelled to hold him
down by main force while we continued
the rubbing.

although it was less than 1000 feet
above me. 1t was discouraging to
turn back, but I was so weak in the
knees that I could only go a few PAGES
at a time and then was continually
falling down and cutting myself on the
sharp stones of the slope. Finally I
was reduced to crawling and then,

AT THE TOP OF ACONCAGUA
But in spite of all these difficulties
and privatiOnS, Mr.. Fitzgerald's party
twice reached the summit of Aconca- 81
qua and afterwards assembled Tupun-
cato, which presented difficulties al
most equal to those of Aconcagua- The
first ascent was made by Zurbriggen
alone, and when he reached the sum-
NIT. the mountain was so enveloped
with clouds that he was unable to see
anything, and he returned almost dead
from exhaustion. he reported heavy
snow and a wind of terrific violence,
and on his return he was hardly able
to stand part of the wav. The second
ascent was made by Vines and the
guide, Lanti. Fortunately. they reached
it on a magnificently sunny afternoon,
and the view from the summit was
something indescribably grand. On
one side they could see the blue Pacific
stretching scores of miles away, and
on the other the vast heights and
depths of the rolling Andes. They
broke a bottle Of wine on the summit
and left their cards, returning by the
moonlight.

counsel and advice. Without funds We
are at present unable to relieve suffer-
ing, as all revenues from customs and
port duties are collected and held by
officials either of Spain or the United
States. OF the latter we make no
complaint, because we believe that in
the end a just account will be rendered
to us. In a document issued by the
American authorities at Santiago it is
stated that the revenues collected at
the different Cuban ports under the
control of the United States will we

the too frequent recurrence of national
elections, a longer period for the term
of the presidency will probably be
adopted. In my opinion, six years
would be a better term for the chief
executive of Cuba The election of such
executive by direct popular vote will
probably be preferable to the system
in vogue in the United States through
its electoral college.

take a step, lest it conflict with the
plans of the great and generous nation
which has SO unselfishly made our
freedom possible.
Not long before the signing of the
protocol, General Emilio March, civil
and military governor of Puerto Prin-
cipe, sent a military commission to US
urging that permission be given for his
forces, numbering 1000 men, together
with the troops of Holguin, under Gen
eral Luque. to march across the pro-
vince of Camaguey to the railroad sta
ton at Placetas, from which point they
were to take the railroad and join Gen

BELLE OF MACHIAs.
Pretty Polly Mcintosh and Her Many
Charms

The most accomplished parrot in this
part of the world is owned by Henry
Mcintosh of Machias, Me-, who
wouldn't swap her for a trotting horse.
Poll is a blue-headed Amazon parrot,
and was captured 1000 miles III the
broad South American river two years
ago last fall by George Woodruff. a
sailor, VINO brought her home to live
| in Maine, says the Bangor News.
Poll is a beauty. She has blue
hood and other garments of golden
brown, green and scarlet; but it is not
her beauty, which is only feather deep,
that is her chief charm. She is more
knowing than q. terrier dog and is ex-
tremely polite, and, Furthermore, she
has a great ear for music Miss Julia
Flannery, who lives next door to the
McIntoshes, has taught Poll to sing,

ence of friends and neighbors, the bird

DIFFICULTIES OF SLEEPING.

But eating was only one of our
troubles. Sleeping was even a greater
difficulty, Our tent had peaked roof
three and a half feet from the ground,
and the floor was securely sewn to the
sides, so as to prevent the wind from
getting under it. When ali of US were
in it we were compelled to lie close to-
gether, and when one of US turned,
every man in the party was awakened.
The tent was air tight, and before
morning the air often grew so stuffy
and foul that we could scarcely breathe,
and yet we dared not open the flap
for fear of the intense cold. Another
really serious difficulty was the roar of
snoring which went up from the sleep

the hospitals. Alger himself has tour
ed the camps. Witnesses differ widely,
from Wheeler, who compares every
thing he saw with army conditions in
the Confederacy, and finds those in this
army SO superior, to witnesses who tell
of scanty food, of medical stores lack
ing, and of insufficient and unskilled
nursing
So far not word about the graver
charges, those affecting the integrity Of
the head of the department. No ques-
ton has been asked why Merritt was
sent to Manila; why Shafter was Sc
lected to lead the Cuban expedition;
why Miles was snubbed; why a camp
was located at Fernandina, what rail-
way led to it and what were the rela-
lions of the secretary to that road and
why it was not found out beforehand
that no transports could reach the
WharVes at that place. None of these
and kindred matters has been touch
ed, but the whole inquiry is directed to
matters about which opinion differs and
upon which the board can readily make
report generating the secretary from
blame.
Plainly the game of diversion" Is
again being played; attention is to be
diverted from matters that could not
be probed without revealing scandals
that would shake the nation and dis
credit the administration, to others that
can be explained or excused War
brings hardship and priva ton to those
who engage in 1t. Camp life entails
exposure that brings sickness. The un,-
trained soldier is reckless Of his health.
Camp nurses lack the tender sympa-
thles of the mother or sister nurse; ar
my doctors lack the business incentive
that makes the civil doctor jealous.
All this can be and no secretary of war
can be blamed. And because this Is
so, these things are being investigated
and much ado is made over them in
order that that official may be shelter
ed from investigation of matters that
would drive him from office in disgrace.
AS The G b e said months ago, it
will devolve upon congress to make
full investigation. 1t can take the lid
off the pot. VIII it do it?
