corresponding seven months of last year

ported as less than last year, and these

report is more business. In few cases.

farmers are making three and four times

general unanimity in reporting an in

until April =, 1897, and wheat had been
steadily rising for a year and half pre-
vious to the date, having risen during
that time from 60 to 9519 cents, or 261a

NEW YORK, August 13.-The
Times this morning prints the follow

General Tomas Estrada Palma, dele
ate-at-large of the Cuban Republic,
talking of the peace protocol and me
steps that would be taken by the Gu
ban Government, said:
THE first thing to be done by the
Cuban patriots in America after the
blockade has. been raised, will be TO
send relief to the surviving Cubans III
the field. Money that would otherwise
have been spent in purchasing guns
and ammunition will be spent in food
and clothing for the Cuban soldiers ana
their families The relief will be sent
Immediately, with the consent OF the
American Government.
Another thing that will be looked al
ter will be to try and secure the re-
lease of those CubanS who have been
deported from Cuba and sent to Span
ish penal settlements. shall urge
that the Washington authorities secure
| the release Of these prisoners.
"As far as the present Government or
Cuba is concerned, the leading men OF
the Republic, from President Masso
down, have explicit confidence in the
declaration that the United States Gov
ernment went to war, not for the ac-
QUESTION of Cuba, but to free the
| island for the Cubans. 1t may be that
in years to come the Cubans may, OF
their own volition, request this coun-
try to annex Cuba, but that is not TOR
the present. Whether the present Gov
ernment Of Cuba will be recognized now
is no matter The Cubans do no wish
to embarrass the Washington authori-
ties, and have no doubt that whatever
is for the best will be done.
1T may take several months for the
Spanish Government to remove its SOL
diers from the island. After the troops
have gone away there will be left only
about 10000 Spaniards. Many of these
might renounce allegiance TO the Span
ish Government. But, assuming that
there should remain 100000 Spaniards,
that is a small number in comparison
with the 200, 900 native Cubans. While
the Spanish troops are being removed
/ think that the United States Govern
ment would be wise in consulting un-
officially the wishes of the large native
population.
The American provisional govern
ment, which will, no doubt, be of a
military character, can do much to-
ward strengthening the feeling which
native Cubans have already for the
United States for having freed them
from the Spanish yoke. In what way
the United States should try to get the
opinion of the people of Cuba, whether
by popular election, or otherwise is one
of the problems which it will have to
solve. But no matter in what way the
American Government goes about it, it
Will always find the native Cubans not
only willing, but anxious to help the
Americans in the solution Of the prob
