reception to Brig. Gen. william Ludlow.
y. g. ", Governor OF Havana. was given at
the rooms Of the Chamber OF Commerce yester-
day by the Trustees OF the Cuban Orphan
Fund. Cen Ludlow was introduced by Gen.
Francis V. Green. who preceded him as
Governor OF Havana, and he made an interest
ing informal address regarding the present
condition In Cuba. He said:

seriousness. Such questions are not TO DO
lightly passed over.
The obligations OF the United States to the
Cubans; the obligations OF tho United States
to itself. and the obligations OF the United
states, to the world will have to be recog-
nized."
Gen. Ludlow then spoke OF the present con-

lack politically two qualities essen
tiai to selt-Rovernmcnt. They lack the
faculty OF submitting to the will OF
the majority. The minority when de-
feated take their machetes and go to the woods
and then send a proc. hmation ann ounc ng that
they will have nothing to do with the other
party. Then again. they know not how To- all
that: they never knew what II was
to hold public position. Iapprehend that 1t
will be a long term OF guardianship. At the
present time 30 per cent OF the Cuban people
are illiterat-. To grant them universal suffer-
age in that state OF ignorance would be to undo
all the good work that has been done by this
Government. II would I've like leaving II to-
day. and letting II driit as a second Hayti."
Gen. Ludlow spoke OF the necessity OF q
rudimentary education for tho children OF
Cuba. leaving out OF consideration Tor the
present any higher education. The Spanish
aud Cuban women. he thought. were best
adapted to act ~ educators by reason OF their
knowledge OF the language. He thought that
for the time being educati nn should be under
taken In the way indicated. and that when tho
rudmrnts were learned II wouli he timo
enough to speak OF establishing universities
There were no public schools. he SAT and II
would cost about S3WDOUO to establish n
