ALL TRUST THE AMERICANS.
Cub"ns Favor the Dissolution of the
InsurGent Government.

Havana, Oct. S1.-Advices received here
from Santa Cruz del Sur say that a ma
jority of the representatives Of the Cuban
army at the meetings held this evening.
are in favor of the dissolution of the Gu
ban insurgent government and the ap-
polntmeut of a commission to go to Wash
ingren for the purpose of thanking the
American government for its Intervention
IN favor of the Cubans, and to put them
selves unconditionally at the disposition
of the Washington authorities, so as to
enable the latter TO develop their pro-
gramme without any hindranee. The Gu
pans are also said to be in favor of the
disbandment of the insurgent army.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct. S1.-Senor Barlo-
lone Maso. president of the Cuban pro-
vistonal administration council. has issued
an address TO the delegates now in attend
ance at the military assembly at Santa
Cruz del Sur. in which he reviews the con-
siderations upon which the Cubans solic-
lied the help of the United States. and in
dicates their wisest future policy The ad-
dress in part is as follows:
The Cubans accepted the assistance of
America, although not knowing exactly
what were the American aims, just as
they would have accepted help from any
country in their fight against Spain. As
the contest progressed the Cubans in the
field were gratified to hear of solemn dec
laration by the United States Congress
regarding the intentions of the American
government and the path ii would follow
in the Spanish-American war America
came to our help to compel Spain TO relin-
quish her sovereignty over Cuba, in order
that the Cubans themselves might be
placed as promptly as possible In possess
sion of the island; might assume the ad-
ministration of its affairs and have a
government of their own.
Therefore the Cubans agreed 10 CO
operate with the Americans to obey the
orders issued by American generals and to
help ain all possible ways to establish a
Cuban government wherever the Ameri-
cans took possession. Though America did
not recognize the government of Cuba in
terms il was we'll understood that the
CubanS would not on that account aban-
don their organization, but on the con-
trary the time would come when such
recognition would be granted. Indeed it
was asserted to our Cuban representa-
tives by one of the most distinguished
members of the United States government
and also by members of the United States
Senate that in order to do away with any
obstacle that might hinder the United
States in going into the fight for the cause
of Cuban independence recognition of a
Cuban government must come later
.f'Nevertheless5 il has not been possible
to establish direct relations between the
Cuban and American government for the
transaction of public business, although
the general character of our relations
throughout the war was friendly. But we
have now reached a time when even more
than in the days of fighting. it is incum-
bent upon all Cubans to show their patri-
otism, and. while making every expression
of gratitude to America for having given
Cuba freedom and independence, TO make
prompt arrangements for paying off the
Cubans now in arms and for getting the
country into working order"
