TRUTH ABOUT CUBA,
Annexation Sentiment Certainly Is
Not Very Pronounced.
Inde ependence, However. Seems an
Iridescent Dream to the Members
of the SO-Called Revolution.
AIRY Government.
Especial New Orleans letter.

Telling the truth about the condi-
tions in Cuba may not be CRATE
full task, but it is one that should
not be shirked. The impression
has gained ground that the people of
the island are reconciled to American
rule and that before long there will
be concerted movement in favor of
absolute annexation. No report that
has yet been circulated has less founda-
ton. The Cubans want nothing short
of independence. and only the influence
exerted by thoughtful leaders has thus
far prevented outbreaks similar to
those in the Philippine islands.
A day or two ago the writer had an
Instructive conversation with a Cuban
who took prominent part in the war
for liberation and who is thoroughly
familiar with American conditions and
American sentiment regarding Cuba.
He is convinced that nine out of every
ten citizens of the country are in favor
OF retaining the island. either as col
ony or as territory; and in support
of his assertion produced hundreds Of
newspaper clippings advocating per-
manent occupation. Moreover, he
claims to have learned from CONVEX
Sation with business men that the COM
mercial interests of the country are
unanimous in urging annexation.
''The United States" he concluded.
''has taken virtual possession of the
government. 1t administers the laws,
collects the taxes and regulates dis
bursements. Americans have been Sc
lected to fill all positions of response
bility and trust, and even our Havana
post Office has been placed in charge
of an American politician. The claims

BENTON. LOUISIANA, THURSDAY, MAY 1899.

OF all the ragamuffin crews which
ever banded together for the sO-called
'cause of freedom" the Cuban revolu-
tionists were the worst Ostensibly
fighting for good cause, they robbed
friend and foe whenever opportunity
offered. Uneducated, brutal negroes
and mulattoes were placed in command
of foraging expeditions, and their reck-
lessness and cruelty exceeded those of
the Spaniards. This is not exaggera-
ton, but plain statement of fact
based on the admissions Of Cuban
gentleman who has always stood we'll
in the councils of the liberators. In
extenuation of the employment of such
characters the respectable revolution
lists make the broad claim that fire had
to be fought with fire and that the eNi-
gencies of the case justified the enlist
ment of anything human that offered
itself to the recruiting officers.
On general principles this argument
is iustifiable, but the Cuban leaders
are foolish in demanding independence
as long as such an army is maintained
by their generals. They seem to for
get that the United States assumed
grave international responsibilities
when it conquered and took possession
of Cuba, and that the American govern
ment has guaranteed to protect the
lives and property of Spanish and other
foreign residents in the island. The
insurgent army instead Of affording
protection would, in all proba bility. in
augurate reign of anarchy and terror,
for although

slave set free without a knowledge
of the first principles of freedom at
once becomes a menace to society. He
mistakes license for liberty and de-
generates from slavery into barbarism.
To maintain order the United States
is keeping $4,000 soldiers in the field
in Cuba Fifteen thousand would be
all that is necessary if the insurgents
were to disband their army. Every
day adds thousands of dollars to the
expense our government is incurring
on account of the shortsightedness OF
the self-styled patriots who seem to
forget that Cuba and not the United
States must eventually pay this bill.
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1899-05-04

for liberty are being ignored daily. 4
few of them have been insulted, others
have been told that they were not
wanted. In these circumstances it is
scarcely remarkable that the CIbans
fail to be enthusiastic and that Byron's
battle cry:
For Freedoms battle once begun.
Bequeathed by bleeding sin to son,
Though baff1ed oft is ever won,'
can be heard quite frequently in the
secret councils of the patriots, both in
Havana and elsewhere
This conversation occurred in New
Orleans, a city which can tell some
interesting stories of carpet bag gov
ernment, and it is not strange that
the Cubans should compare their pres
ent lot with that of some of the south
ern states in post-bellum days.
On being pressed for plain, unvar-
nished statement, my informant ad-
mitted that the so-called Cuban army
of liberation does not, and never did
consist of elements calculated to in
spIre respect. At no time did it num-
Der more than $4,000 men, and when
American success in Cuba was no
longer in doubt fully one-half of them
were made commissioned officers, in
the hope that the United States would
pay their back salaries and make them
financially comfortable for years to
come.

not only give them an independent gov
ernment. but pay their bills as we'll.
They looked upon this country as a
gigantic cow which could be MIXED
by every Cuban adventurer and which.
in addition, would furnish its own feed.
When Gen. Wood assumed control of
affairs at Santiago and Gen. Brooke
established his administration at Ha-
yana they began to realize that the
Yankee creature was not quite as stu
pid beast as they had supposed, and
the hotheads in and out of the army
the tramps, marauders and sche emers
planned guerilla warfare against
the American troops. Thanks 10 the
common sense displayed in this emer-
gency by old Gen. Gomez and few
other wise leaders. the dissatisfied
crowd was held in subjection; and
since the American congress has voted
s3.oo0.ooo to pay off the insurgent
troops they have behaved reasonably

ing life that the country will for years
be infested by bands of outlaws and
thugs recruited from the ranks of the
army. And not until every vestige of
lawlessness is obliterated could the
United States consent to the establish
ment of an independent Cuban govern
ment.
That American officials are doing a
grand work for Cuba is admitted on all
sides. Before the close of next year
the city of Havana. for centuries a
breeding place of yellow fever and ma
laria germs, win be one of the heaIthi-
est of tropical seaports, and Santiago,
the ancient capital of the island, will
have developed into great CONNER
cial center. Modern sanitation and
drainage systems will make the pub
lie health as secure as American po-
lice methods will make life safe.
No element realizes the advantages
of this condition more fully than the
purely Spanish: and, strange as itsmay
seem. it is this element which is strong
ly in favor of political union with the
United States. The younger ard edu-

The women of Cuba are the most bit

They are either autonomists or Span
iards: and neither of the parties can
forgive the Americans; the first be-
cause the Washington government will
not recognize the Cuban republic, the
latter because their country was van
quished in the war. Fortunately. the
women in Spanish-American countries
have but little political influence; but
that they will make life disagreeabie
for American women who may be COM
PEELED to make their home in Havana
can be taken for granted.
Summing up the Cuban situation, il
may be put down as an indisputable
fact that although the Americans are
