GENERAL LEE
 MAKES A REPORT Conditions Now Existing on the
 Island of Cuba. INDEPENDENCE IS URGED The Taking of Census the First Step Toward the Establishment of
 Self Government-Qualif-
 cations of Voters
INDEPENDENCE IS URGED

Chicago. September IA special from Washington says:
 General Fitzhugh Lee has made an elab- crate report on the conditions in the ter rtory in Cuba under his jurisdiction, and takes strong ground for an independent government for the Cubans under an American protectorate.
 "Ihe war department in March directed the commanders of departments in Cuba to make report on tine conditions in their several sections, and to accompany It with recommendations as to the treatment of thenatives. General Leo is the only commander who has so far responded.
 General Lee begins his report by stating conditions in Havana and Pinar Del Rio provinces are making rapid progress to- ward state of peace, good order and prosperity. He goes into this in great de- tail taking up the subject town by town, and showing a general improvement throughout the western end of the island. His report in this respect is very gratify- ing, indicating as it does that there is not as much suffering from want of food as is often asserted in unofficial reports.
 Turning to recommendations, General
 
 first step towards the establishment of self government. General Lee thinks that the next step should be the careful considera- tions of the questions of suffrage for the Cubans. He takes it for granted that there will be elections by the natives, and he points out the importance of wise action in determining the qualification of voters. He recommends an independent republi- can government, with a president, vice. president and congress. He would have this established soon, and advises the hold ing of a general election for the selection of those officers. He says nothing about constitution, leaving it to be inferred that he overlooked that step or would have it left to the Cuban congress to provide af- ter it's installation in office.
 Tn this connection General Lee laws stress upon the need of a system of juris- prudence suitable for an independent gov ernment, and so guarded as to secure jus. tice to the people.
 General Lee evidently foresees that while the United States might provide Gu ba with model system of government the natives would be likely to spoil it in the administration, and he has submitted sug- gestions for keeping the government ma- chinery running along lines that commend themselves to the American mind. He says the United States should keep strict supervision over Cuba until it's republican government is completed and firmly estab- lished.
 Even after reeaving the Cubans in part of American protection he would have United States troops maintained in the is- land to protect Americans and other aliens in the enjoyment of their person and prop erty rights"
