CITIZENSHIP IN CUBA.

Fundamental problem is coming to the fore
In Cuba Some satisfactory definition of Cuban
citizenship must be evolved; and in the doing of
that task one of the most important and by no
means least difficult steps in the regeneration of
Cuba will be achieved. The present situation is
an anomalous one. If not unique. Technically,
the people of Cuba are pretty nearly in the plight
of man without q country. They ought 10 be
citizens Of Cuba. But in what legal sense are
they? A citizen is member Of State or
nation who owes allegiance TO the Govern
ment and Is entitled to It's protection. But there
is to-day no Cuban State Of which Cubans can
be citizens: no Cuban Government to which
they can give allegiance and from which they
can require protection. year or more ago
they were subjects of Spain. But their rea-
tonship to Spain has now been formally and
completely dissolved. They have not become
independent nor set up any government OF
their own. And they have certainly not been
annexed to the United States and admitted to
its citizenship. Their status Is beyond doubt
uncertain and embarrassing and needs TO be
authortatlvely defined and settled.
The problem is further complicated by the
presence of many aliens in Cuba, in one ca
pacty or another We considered the other day
the case of the Spanards, who form numer
Gus and important class. They are Penlnsu-
lars. who came to Cuba before the revolution
They have never renounced their allegiance 10
Spain. They have certainly never become natu-
rallied citizens of any other State Perhaps
many of them would like to remain in Cuba
and become Identified with It. But how are
they TO become citizens Of n State that does
not vet exist? Again. there are many so-called
-bo lie General Gomez
himself is a Santo Dominican and It is not
known that he has ever legally become a
paturaized Cuban. Julio Sanguily claimed,
during the Cuban War, TO be citizen OF the
United States. and as such demanded this Ma
tons protection. There are others who were
leaders in the revolution who were and are citi-
Gems Of the United States. They deliberately
became citizens of this country In order TO be
able TO claim protection as such In their revo-
lutIonary enterprises. They do not even now
want TO renounce that citizenship. Yet mani
testify they should do so. II they are to be con-
sldered Cubans. And IL they do renounce H.
what Is TO take its place?
These considerations point 10 the eminent de-
STABILITY Of establishing in Cuba AT the earliest
practicable moment some more definite ana
tangible system Of government Beyond doubt
there is a strong and widespread sentiment
among the most substantial classes OF me
Cuban population In favor Of n permanent
connection with the United States, perhaps
somewhat like that which Porto RICO now
ENJOYS. In that case, Of course, the status OF
the people In regard to citizenship would De
defined by Congress. Others reckon mat some
Sorrn NJ autonomous or semi-autonomous CUBAN
government should be devised. under WHICH
