Taking Cuba American,

1t is apparent that the Cubans
generally are eager for the depar-
ture of the American troops and for
an opportunity to form a government
of their own with power to raise
money by taxation and the use OF
the public credit. But they must
not be too urgent or mpetuous about
this matter. They must keep in
mind the exact terms of the pledge
adopted by Congress. The resolu-
ton runs thus: The United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or
intention to exercise sovereignty,
Jurisdiction, or control over sad
island, except for the paciticatlon
thereof, and asserts its determina-
tion when that Is accomplished to
leave the control of the island to its
people. - Before we withdraw
there must be unQuestlOned paclh-
cation and a government ordained
by the whole people OF the island
not by one province, or two. but by
the whole six. The pressure brought
to bear through the Cuban press to
hurry our departure is already
more strenuous than circumstances
warrant or than is consistant
with our National pledge.
The Cubans do not see one of the
most serious troubles ahead, and
that is the danger OF quarreling
among themselves on both provin-
cial and racial lines. a large
Spanish element remains IN Cuba.
1t is used to authority and we'll ac-
quanted with the weak as well as
the strong characteristics of the
Cubans. 1t will count for as much
as possible in the future of the is
land. influencing the government
and retarding its AmericaniZation.
Than the different provinces are
not harmonious. Santiago is much
displeased over the order to send a
part of itsrevenue toHavana. For
eign property must be protected,
and it will be nice question to de-
eide when our responsibility i'll that
regard can end. Cuba must first be
pacifed. Then its people, all of
them, can select their government.
We are as much pledged to this
consummation as we are to with
draw. That Cuba in time viii be
Americanized is certain, no matter
what government it tselects. Amer
lean business energy will find there
a permanent and legitimate field,
and will be properly protected. ~
