HaYe We Two shAftersP

Major General Brooke is not
making a conspicuous snccess OF
his administration of Cuban affairs.
He is pursuing the very methods
that will cause the Cubans to dis
trust the sincerity Of our friend
ship. He is harsh and dictatorisl,
and lacking in the diplomatic
qualities necessary to be employed
in handling a delicate situation.
AT Santiago, ,as at Havana, Sen.
Brooke has stirred the people to
point Of revolt. He has ignored
General Wood in his orders, and,
without personal knowledge OF
the needs OF the province, has
given instru ctions in regard to the
disposition Of customs money, and
has also interfered with the mail
facilities Of the smaller towns.
The gravity Of the situation at
Santiago is shown by mass meet
ings of indignant citizens and pro-
tests from the Chamber OF Com
merce. The President will be ap-
pealed to to countermand Brooke's
order.
AT the time when our interests
in Cuba demand the exercise OF
the highest order OF executive skill
it is particularly unfortunate that
second Shafter should arise in the
person OF the clustering Br Joke to
offend and estrange the >,ubans.

why Farm, Workshop and Mine
All Oppose Imperialism,

To the Editor Of tie NeaO York HOyld.
The explanation of this vitalfact comes
from the Presidents commissioner, Mr..
Robert P. Porter, who says in your
columns today;
"Cubans are capable of self govern
ment and consequently for annexation
| as American citizens" The President
sh ould note this. Americas troops and
American government of Cuba quite
unnecessary.
He tells us sugar is the principal pro.
duct, that there is no place like Cuba
for growing it. Germany cannot pro.
duce sugar under two cents per pound,
even with a bounty, while Cuba produces
for less without bounty"
Mr., Porter also tells us that the cheap
est sorts OF tobacco are grown as well as
the rarest.
That sin mineral resources Cuba has
the basis of the manufacture of iron and
steel and for establishing machine shops.
In her hardwood forests she has the
material for the manufacture of furniture
and other articles"
"With steel and wood in abundance
and a water frontage of considerable
magnitude there should here spring up
shipyards OF no mean dimensions.
So says the Presidents commissioner
and trusted personal friend. Sugar
growing and sugar factories, tobacco,
iron mines, furniture manufactures,
shipbuildlng yards, and all upon 60 cents
per day labor, to compete free Of duty
with the products of American farmers
and American labor under annexation"
Behind the products OF Cuba annexed,
coming free OF duty the workingman
sees the cheap laborers of the tropics,
his then fellow citizens, in droves crowd
ing our shores to compete.
A pretty prospect this for the products
of soil and mine and factory at home
and for American labor!
Could any sane politician expect the
votes of the masses upon this outlook of
Commissioner Porter?
organization that has yet spoken-and
eight have already--is dead opposed,
and that the agricultural papers are
everyW here sounding the alarm?
ZHe RGbH6iicaA party, zOith President
MckTHkey as its standard bearer, could
not CARR STATE to-day against a caRd1-
date bLeGgea TO rescue farmer and rage
Garner from the fmbsRdiRg danger, and
ayh0 insured him return to The true
p0Hcy O. America for the AmsyicanS."
A pleblscite would settle the question,
but the Administration has two years in
which to govern. There is yet time for
the President to turn the head OF the
ship Of state around and sail back to the
safe harbor of true Americanism, but he
has no time to lose.

The CaTery Amendment.

Senator Caffery says very posi-
lively that the treaty with SPair
will not be ratified at this ses'
sion."
The.trouble at Iloilo, which has
led to an order despatching more
troops ana another war vessel TO
the Philippines, has revived and
strengthened the opposition to the
annexation of these Islands.
Work done by Mr.. Bryan in be-
half of ratification seems to have
been undone. Many Of the men
whom he influenced have been re-
captured by the opposition under
the generalship Of Cafery, ,Gorman'
Jones, of Arkansas, Hale and Pet
tigrew.
Events OF the last fortnight have
done much toward Strengthening
the anti. .imperialistic forces. Inc
trouble at Iloilo has alarmed many
Seniors, who believe it put fore
OF more series uprisings If the
United States assumes control over
the Philippines. Then, too, thou
sands OF mem orials have come from
all over the country petitioning
Senators to stay the Administra
tions greed for empire.
Senator Cafery will offer an
amendment to the treaty or a reso-
luton declaring the purpose OF
this Government toward the Phil
ippines to be identical with that
assumed toward Cuba in the dec
laration of war; that is, TO expel
the Spaniards, establish peace and
order, and then to "leave the gov
ernment and control OF the islands
to the people thereof" He will
include also a provision that the
Filipinos shall Assume the $40, ,ooo,-
600 which we have agreed to pay
to Spain
1t is difficult to see upon what |
grounds of right, of justice or Of |
policy such a declaration can be
II it is not American in
the historical and in the highest
sense, then our Declaration OF
Independence has no meaning and
our professions in entering upon
the war with Spain were sham.

The Liquor Traffic in England. .

Extreme measures for dealing
with the trade no longer find favo
in England, where they are las
approaching an era OF moderator
and "sweet reasonableness." )" Pro
hibition is everywhere regarded
as an impossible piece OF quack'
cry and even the milder local veto
is politically dead. People are
beginning to recognize that beer is
invulnerable, its position unassail-
able. If the conditions Of its sale
are to be altered, the reforms will
have to be on quiet, practical lines;
heroic measures are discredited
and obsolete.
In confirmation Of this we need
only to quote certain remarks upon
this all important subject which
the Lord Chief Justice of England
made recently at the opening OF a
Roman Catholic club in a poor
and denselY populated district OF
London, Commenting upon the
fact that beer would be sold at the
club, Lord Russell said: "We
must deal " ith the world as it was,
with men as they were-with their
shortcomings, and their weakness
ses, and their absence Of Spartan
virtue. And dealing with them in
this sense, we must do something
in reason and under control to re-
cognize the fact. for the British
workman-andt the workman who
worked in Great Britain, whether
he was British or not-".liked his
beer. 1t might be a vulgar taste,
but there it was. He had always
said, while recognizing the evils OF
drink as it was INDUCED in, that
one could not hope by merely re
pressive action to put down the
passion for drink. They would
have to elevate the moral tone, and
educate--a thing not to be accom-
plisbed in day, year, or even in
a generation. This is a splendidly |
accurate diagnosis Of the case and |
is worthy OF Lord RusselPs COM
manding intellectual powers.

Our Task in Cuba.

The Spaniards are gone iron
| Cuba, and the American task o
assisting the people to establish a
stable government begins through
out the island. 1t is task OF deli
cacy which will make ceaseless
demands upon the intelligence,
patience and tact OF those to whom
it is entrusted. Our military men
| Especially General Brooke) need
to have it borne in upon them
steadily that we are not in Cuba as
conquerors, but as hberat0rSj that
Cancellation must mark our policy
at all roints, and that the duty
should not be neglected for a day
of dissipating the fears OF the peo-
pie that under the guise Of friends
we are aiming at supplanting the
Spanish tyrant whom we have
banished. Those among the Cub
ans who are acquainted with us
know that the American people IN
the mass have too high a regard
for the national honor not to insist
that the pledge ofthis Government
to give independence to Cuba shall
be fulfilled TO the letter. There is
no public man OF standing among
US who would dare to advocate the
breaking Of that solemn and volun-
tarily given promise.
There will be clashings and dis
appointments and notifications,
for the Cubans who have fought
for Cuba Libre are naturally rest
i've in the position Of subor,hnation
to which for time they are neces-
sarily relegated. Men who fight
tor their country's liberty cannot
be expected to take kindly to tute-
lage on the soil which has been
Redeemed by their own and their
perished comrades blood. We
sincerely hope that the orderly |
bearing of the Cuban soldiers, who
are Cuba's best men, together with |
her own patriotic citizens, will |
demonstrate TO the American peo-
pie hat they are capable OF self |
government and that therefore
humanity and principle on
our part demands of US that oar
military cupation must be
speedily done away with.

The President, according TO the
Portland (Me.) argus, is said to be
carefully studying the history and
methods of British colonial admin
istration. 1t is doubtful il the study
will help him much. The British
colonial administration cannot be
initiated from text books. Built
up through years of experience in
every quarter of the globe, it is
largely system Of expedients in
vented to meet special cases,
though it is based on broad lines
Of general policy. The President
might get the Hon. Joe" Cham
berlain to come over and give bim

ernment. Or there is a man IN

be induced to superintend a trial

machine. His name and address

ANGLo-SAxoN UNION.

Dafly Gyabhic-LOndon, Dec. Il.
That in this country the new expert.
ment of the United States should be
watched with the deepest sympathy is
only natural, for their Colonial efforts
are an extension of methods OF which we
are the patentees, and which we believe
to be iraught with good for the world
at large. Moreover, this experiment
assimilates the political destinies OF the
two nations, brings them closer together,
renders their cooperation more neces'
sary, and thus. brings further within the
field Of practical politics that dream OF
all good English and American citizens

which, though strictly moderate in itself,

What about Cuba2

Our occupation OF Cuba is pro-
ceeding merrilY. The Spanish flag
is down and ours is up. We are
collecting duties and cleaning
streets, and American spectators
with the greed OF gain Illuminating
their eyes are swarming over the
island.
All this is well, but to what does
it all leadp Does President Nc.
Kinley remember the solemn
pledge, voluntarily taken by him
self and by Congress in the sight
OF the world, that our interference
shall not be directed to any selfish
end, but shall be conducted with
the object of giving a stable and
independent government to the
people OF Cuba2
The reported utterances Of Gen
eral Brooke are not reassuring.
The absolute annihilation of all
possible malcontents" has too
much of a Spanish sound. Even
under complete American rule
malcontents are not outlaws, and
in Cuba our rule is not complete
it is only that OF trustee.
"The people OF Cuba" SaId the
resolution signed by President Nc
KinleY last April, care, and Of
right ought to be, free and indie
pendent"
In that case, why should we not
encourage them to prepare for
making use of their freedom and
independence? Why should we
treat them as interlopers on their
own soil and exclude their flag
from the celebration OF the greatest
event in their history The single
star OF Cuba ought to have waved
side by side with the forty. FIVE
stars OF America as our army OF
liberation entered Havana last
Sunday.
1t was the Americans who
struck the final blow for Cuban
freedom, but il was the Cubans
who did the long, agonizing work
and made the sacrifices, without
which Americas S hand never ould
have been raised. In arms for
thirteen years out Of the last thirty,
and with the lives of one-third of
their race offered up for the liberty
OF the rest, the Cubans have earned
their freedom il any people ever
did.
But it is not what the Cubans
have earned, but what our honor
obliges US to grant, that is the es-
sential thing for US. The Presi-
dent believes that the annexation
Of Cuba would be a good thing |
both for she island and for the
United States, and he believes that
sooner or later the Cubans will |
ask it, but until they do, freely and |
gladly, he believes that annexation
should wait, il it takes a thousand |
years. And the President will |
find that this is the opinion OF the
American people.
