1t will be seen from these figures that
the cost of operating a great ocean liner
IS very large, for the vessel that has been

to the United States, and great num-
bers of others seem 10 have no positive
opinions concerning the path their
country should pursue. There is, of
course, on the part of a majority
lack of understanding OF the difficult
ties of self government.
AT present the census is being taken
in Cuba, and for the first time we shall
have an accurate and reliable enumer-
alton. When that has been finished,
the experiment of free government by
Cubans for Cubans will, / believe, be

vana, who arrived at New York the
other day in the Ward line steamship
Havana. said to a reporter of the New
York World:
There has been a marked improve
ment in the feelings of Cubans toward
Americans. Suspicion and distrust are
rapidly giving place to confidence.
How long the military occupation
of Cuba should continue is difficult to
decide. We must do our part thor
oughly, leaving no chance for Il failure
of self government. There should be
