When will the United States evacuate Cuba
That is question | frequently asked, and

that from my peculiar facilities for observation
in the island l might have some knowledge, or
at least some opinion about 1t.
Nevertheless, ! have such knowledge and
no such opinion. With the very best of viii
on the part of OUR Government, 4 desire to keep
its pledges and leave the Inhabitants of Cuba
to enjoy their independence in their own way,
there are many difficulties in the way OF with
drawal and whether or not we have in the last
six months made progress toward the end am
unable to say.
Yet | can. say that during the last six months
crime has decreased. and peace and prosperity
are s1reading or reviving in a great measure.
This however, seems attributable to the pres
ence of the United States troops whom the
property holders and chief men insist must
stay The Cubans themselves seem to be very
much divided in opinion as to what ought to be
done Some want an independent republic i'm
mediately. Others insist that Cuba shall be an
nexed to the United States, and great num-
bers of others seem to have no positive opin-
ions concerning the path their country should
pursue There is, of course. on the part or a
majority lack of understanding OF the diff
cuties of self government.
At present the census is being taken in Cuba.

age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determinatio will

indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under

Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
