Unrest IN CUBA.


The reports which come from Cuba Of
growing feeling Of hoscnDy thtre towards
our government, and Of money being col
lected for the support Of an instruction
are not causing any uneasiness IN Wash
ington. Nothing has reached The war de-
partmeut Indicating that there is organ
lied opposition TO our government OF that
there is a purpose on the part Of anybody
to resist our rule.
There is undoubtedly a great deal Of un-
rest there, and there will continue TO be
until Congress decides definitely on a pol
icy for the island. The reports which
come from there now simply mean that
there are parties VINO hope to control Gu
ba's future. They are trying to influence
the action of Congress by their talk, and
by throwing out hints that if Cuba is not
accorded independence at once, the men
who led the instruction against Spain will
again take 10 the woods and carry on war
against our government
Congress will not be scared by any Of
the reports which come from Cuba. 1t is
very well known that there is no wide
spread sentiment among the Cubans
against our government The men who
would like to make trouble if they should
not succeed in having their way, could not
get up a formidable Instruction. They
might get together few bands of robbers
in the mountains, and make raids on the
plantations in the vicinity, but they would
not find that a healthy occupation very
long. There are very few guns in the
hands Of Cubans now and ammunition
would be hard to get. The men of means
are not anxious for American occupation
10 come to an end. Without money very
little could be done in opposing our gov
eminent, and even with ii an insurrection
would be very small affair and short
lived There is no reason to doubt that
Congress will abide by it's declaration,
namely, that Cuba should be free. 1t is
probable that the Presidents message will
urge Congress to take steps for providing
the island with a stable and liberal gov
eminent.
Nothing will be done hastily however,
and our troops will not be withdrawn un-
til it is certain that the Cubans are able
TO manage their own affairs. 1t is prob
able that it will be several years before
it can be determined that the Cubans are
capable of self government. But il will
not be very long before a beginning will
be made in giving them control of their
own affairs. If they think, however, that
the island viii be turned over to them
at once they are going TO be mistaken.
1t has cost this government too much to
drive the Spaniards out and restore peace
to turn the island over to a lot of men
who would, in all probability, proceed 10
loot il, and eventually bring about worse
condition of affairs than existed when the
Cubans were warning with the Spaniards.
The Cubans will be given an independent
government, but it will be when they are
fitted for It,
