In the municipal court yesterday after

MAY TAKE IN CUBA.
President Said to be Considering a
Plan to Annex the
Island.

New York, July 11.-According to a
correspondent of the World at Washing
ton, President Mckinley is working en-
ergctically upon a plan to submit the
question of independence or annexation
to the people of Cuba. He believes that
they would vote for annexation.
Reports from Goy.-Gen. Brooke indi-
cate a contrary view. but the President
has received confidential letters from in
tucntlal representatives of commercial
interests and from other sources in and
about Havana, which have convinced
him that Gen. Brooke is mistaken and
that the people in the Western portion
of the island as well as those in the
Eastern portion. would gladly vote for a
territorial government under the greater
republic.
Gen. Wood. it is learned. made many
suggestions, which will be published for
the guidance of the commanders of other
Cuban provinces.
HE President inquired particularly as
to the extent of the sentiment for and
against annexation.
Il am firmly convinced" said Gen.
Wood. that annexation would be car
rled by four to one III Santiago. The
people of that province, and | believe of
the majority of the other provinces. do
not want independence. They have real
lZed many benefits from the temporary
government We have given them and are
anxious to secure these benefits perma-
ncntly.'
'lt is stated upon very high authority
that the President desires Gen. Brooke 5
attendance in Washington in the capacity
OF confidential adviser and is Contem-
plating the substitution i'll his place Of
Gen. Wood, encouragement of Cuba.
