CT vii Governors For Cuba

New York, Nov. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t islearn-
ed hat the president has not finally de-
termined whether he shall make General
Wood governor Of the entire island or
appoint him governor of only the eastern
part of Cuba. placing General Ludlow in
charge Of the western half and determin-
ing himself all question respecting affairs
relating to the entire island. The latter
plan commends itself to the president, es-
peoially in view of pressure eNerted by
friends Of General Ludlow to seure rec
, ognition Of his services. Before adopting
it, however. he wishes to consult with
, General Wood and obtain his views. In
| any event General Wood appointment,
either as governor of the entire island
or only Of the eastern portion. will not
be announced until after congress con-
venes.>~ The authorities say thai in case
/ a ivide control is decided upon it will
be an easy matter for the two officers
acting as governors, to refer to Washing
ton all questions affecting the Whole
island and that the president can prompt
ly determine them and announce his de-
els ion by cable.
In appointing civil governors at this
time the president is guided by a desire to
prepare the Cubans for independent ad-
nlinistration. Home rule in Cuba Ger
taih1y canro. be permitted until after
April 30, 1900, by which time all ~Spaniards
remaining in the island must have made
a declaration before a court OF record Of
their decision to preserve their allegiance
to Spain. Failure to make such deciara-
ton will mean, according to the terms of
the treaty Of peace, that they have re-
nounced such allegiance and to have
adopted the nationality of Cuba. Al
though the Cuban census will be coEnplet-
ed on Thursday, elections cannot occu.
until after April 50. in order that all tbs
pelsons entitled to a voice in the affaii
of the island ma cast their vote. 1t il
understood that General Wood will dis
GUYS this feature of Cuban affairs Will
