HAVANA MERCHANTS FEARS.
He Says That Universal Suffrage In Cuba
Would Mean Black Republic
Statistics Of Population.

Havana, Aug. IA leading Havana
merchant, Cuban having business
connections with. most of the cities of
the island and who claims to be posted
regarding Cuban affairs, said yesterday
that universal suffrage in Cuba would
mean black republic in the near fu-
ture, and that the only means Of pre-
venting it will be the incorporation Of
the island as possession of the United
States'as a state, territory or colony,
leading to American immigration, in
termarriages, the enrichment Of in
sular blood and the improvement of the
population. In his judgment, Cuba
is otherwise doomed to become another
Hayti. His assertions are based upon
the fact that, in population not ex-
ceeding 1850, 900, with voting capaci-
ty Of 100000, the Spaniards number
only $4,000, the white Cubans, ls5, 900;
those claiming to be white, $4,000;
while the blacks number 100000 in vot-
ing strength. The theory is that more
than half the Spaniards, under a sys-
tenn Of universal suffrage, would not
vote and that the number who would
vote must inevitably diminish each

TEE AFRICAN QUESTION.


South McAlester, |. T., Aug. IA
petition, started by colored folks Of
South McAlester, has started people to
thinking and it may be the solution to
the African question in the United
States. Some time ago ]. H. johnson,
OF this place, one Of the progressive
and aggressive colored citizens Of the
territory, called a meeting here. The
meeting was the outgrowth of the re-
ports of lynching and other alleged
mistreatment to the colored people of
the south. At this mass meeting pre-
ambles and resolutions were adopted,
but any mention Of the above causes
were carefully left in the background.
The result was the formulation OF
a petition praying for government
aid in behalf Of colored people to
help them to Liberia. The petition
stated that this was done to protect the
honor of the white man, as we'll as the
negro; that the civil rights law was
being daily and constantly violated;
that it was impossible for the two races
to live together in harmony. There
were no reflections in the petition that
would lead to acrimonious argument,
but aplain and logical statement Of
the facts from the standpoint of the
colored man. Similar petitions are
now being circulated in almost every
hamlet and city in the south. Mass
meetings have been called and the
same tactics used in all as were dis
played here where the movement be-
gan.
1t is estimated that to-day there are
at least 100000 signatures to this mon
ster petition which will be presented
to congress when 1t convenes. j. II.
johnson, who was instrumental in
starting this movement, says that there
is opposition, and strangely enough,
it comes from the people who know
that the condition of the colored man
is daily becoming more of complex
nature in which they are losing much
of the ground gained by his emancipa-
ton. Four-ffths of the negroes in the
Indian territory to-day would pack up
all their earthly belongings and move
ir a body to Liberia if they could be
sent there as a colony.
