the last vestlge of doubt of the NOM

IN the United States. Reed, Crisp,

THE MASS OF cuBANS FRIENDLY

Passing events show that the great
majority of the inhabitants of Cuba
are well-dlsposed toward the United
States. A few ambitious politicians
are anxious to hurry our forces out
of the island in order to Try schemes
Of their own, but the people in gen.
eral are not acknowledging their
leadership. This fact is apparent in
the acceptance by the enlisted men
of the m oney offered by the United
States. They refuse to listen to the
heroics of hothead officers who want
to use them for future political ends.
Common sense assures the Cubans
that the $3,OO0,OOO is rendered to
aid disbanding soldiers to make
fresh start in civil life and not as
a bribe, nor with any ulterior de-
signs. Each soldier can take his
share without loss of manly self
respect or making any pledge of
future political action. He is paid
because it would be unfair to turn
him back to ordinary industries in
Penniless condition.
Some of the officers, however, take
a singularly wrongheaded view and
are eager, by what they say and
write, to breed mischief. Gen. Col
lazo publishes in Havana paper an
article in which he remarks that ''the
offer of charity affronts the dignity
of our people, and the gratuity of
$3,000,000 insults them. The United
States government, if 1t intends to
free the island, should pay what is
due the army in the form of a loan
to Cuba, which Cubans would gladly
and easily repay. We do not want
gifts" 1t would be hard to condense
INTO the same space more foolishness
and Misrepresentation. The money
is not offered as aims. The United
States has already freed Cuba. Its
greatest gift to Cuba is liberty. 1t
is one the Cubans wanted very much
and for which it In 2lored the aid of
this country. No loan could be made
10 Cuba at this time. 1t has no
government except by our military
authorities. Gen. Collazo may have
plan of his own for governing it,
but he will be allowed but one vote
when the time comes to decide the
matter.
