upon the fitness OF the people for self-govern-
ment at definite future time. If they are not
fit now The annexationsts would argue that
nothing could be more foolish than to throw
away in mere waiting for possibilities some
years Of prosperity which n settled state Of
things under the United States flag would give.
Those who favor such delay are usually per
sons profoundly convinced that independent
government now would mean disaster and an
archy and who hope that in time all may
realize the fact. If the proposal should pre-
vail It could only embarrass the United States
in its decision when the time comes, because
it would be interpreted as an agreement to
withdraw authority then, although this Nation
would still be bound. as 1t Is now, TO transfer
power to no government not believed to be
worthy and stable.
Under the circumstances IL seems question
able whether any good can be done at this
time by asking Cuban inhabitants to express
opinions regarding their own fitness for self
government. If they are not fit their opinion
would be worthless. If they are fit no one
can say how far desire for closer union with
the United States might influence them. II the
condition of the island and of its people Is
steadily improving under the government that
now exists. and may be expected to improve
far more with the same government. or bet
ter one If the President is able to provide
better there would seem TO be sound reason
for deferrng any disturbing political agitation
until the United States Government itself finds
ground for believing that a proper Independent
government may probably be established. If
the President has yet reached that impress
sion, no such indication Of the fact as might
be expected has yet reached the public

HULL, Eng, Aug. 29.-Walter Well
man, the leader of the Wellman polar
expedition, who returned to Tromsoe,
Norway, Aug. II, after having success
fully completed explorations in Franz
Joseph Land, has arrived here. He
walks with the aid of crutches, his right
leg, which was injured by fall into q
snow covered crevasse; while Mr.. Well
man was leading his party, still being
useless. The explorer was accompa-
MED by the American memb bers of the
expedition, who are we'll. In an inter-
view with representative of the Asso-
ciated Press Mr.. Wellman said:
1.-THE object of the expedition was
two'fold-to complete exploration Of
Franz Joseph Land, of which the north
and northwest parts were practically
unknown, and to reach high latitude
or even to the pole itself. The first
object was successfully accomplished.
The second would have been achieved,
at least to greater extent, than by
previous explorers, but for the accident

President Briefly Outlines 1t in q Speech

OCEAN GROVE. N. j., Aug. 27.-Pres-
ident Mckinley in an address here dur
ing the afternoon said:
Il believe there is more love for our
country, and that more people love the
flag than ever before. Wherever that
flag is raised. it stands not for despotism
and oppression, but for liberty, oppor-
tunity and humanity, and what that
flag has done for us we want it to do
for all people and all lands which, by
the fortunes of war, have come within
its jurisdiction. That flag does not
mean one thing in the United States
and another in Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
"There has been some doubt in some
quarters respecting the policy of the
government in the Philippines l SEQ
no harm in stating it in this presence.
Peace first, and then, with charity for
ell, establish q government of law and
order, protecting life and property and
occupation for the well-being of the
people, who will participate in it under
the Stars and Stripes"

Would Prevent settl smsnt Of Differences
Between England and America.
LONDON, Aug. 2s.-Upon authority
of undoubted reliability, reporter of
the Associated Press has ascertained
that into the Alaska dispute there has
crept the craftiness of Russian diplo-
macy. Russia, it can be stated, will do
everything, with every possible energy,
to prevent the practical cohesion of the
two great English.speaking nations. In
all European embassies instructions
have been received to thwart the Amer
ican understanding.
A prominent diplomat who is init
mately acquainted with the details Of
the negotiations for the past two years,
said to the reporter of the Associated
Press:
I'm any arrangement looking to a
working agreement between England
and the United States, Russia sees the
defeat of her dearest projects. I believe
her intense activity in China is to no
small extent due to her fear that Anglo
Saxon power, once centralized, will
sweep all before it in the far East.
Dreading rapid realization of this night
mare she is making hay while the sun
shines, and in the meanwhile intriguing
to the utmost to tie the hands of those
who are working to materialize Anglo
American sentiment. The latest evil
dence of this is III the Alaska affair.
Though, strictly speaking, it is mat
ter of international politics and would
have been settled long ago if left solely
to Great Britain and the United States.
Russia has managed to suggest motives
never dreamed of by America, by dis
torting facts. 1t has been impossible
for me to divulge exactly how or to
what extent Russia got her paws into
the dispute. But the attitude of her
press, official to the core. is quite suf-
fcient to show her motives"

official orders issued within recent

give much interesting detail, in addi-

AS showing the sentiment of General
Otis as to the probable duration of the

enlistment:
at is not believed that the necessity
for the retention Of volunteer force in

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-The war de-

an interesting statement of the financial
condition of the island of Cuba 1t
shows that under the management of
the United States government the re-
ceipts of the island from Jan. /, 1899, to

expenditures by the very handsome
sum of $1,46O,O21. This statement
probably will be Q surprise to many
persons who had thought that Cuba
under the military occupation of the
United States was not self-sustaining.
During the period named the receipts
