Washington, Especial. j. General Fiizhugb
Lee, who just arrived 10 Wasl lngton, from
New York, In an Interview said that the peo-
pie Of Cuba are steadily improving under
the existing protectorate Of the United
States, and are slowly but surely rebuilding
their war-wssted homes aud repairing their
crippled fortuner. Life and property hre
secure In Cuba, owing largely, he said, to
the sanitary restraint exercised by American
military authority. He thinks the time not
ripe yet, however, for purely Cuban gov
eminent
"Cubs," said General Lee, "ls improving.
The Cubans are tractable and quiet and the
revolution has given them self-rospect and
self-reliance. Their impulses are generally
In the right direction, but, Of course, both Ia
theory and practice OF self-governmrnt they
are wholly without experience. There Is
among certain Cubans deeI-seated preju-
dice against some men who, the CubaDs
think, oppressed Cubans under Spanish rule,
and, II given a free rein, tho CubaDB would
make short work OF them.
"The United States government is pledged
to grant Independence to Cuba after the ISL
and has been pncifird. and believe that
promise should be fulfilled just as swiftly rs
we can In reason aud justice. The Industrial
situation is improving, and money is grad
ually going into CubR, but nothing like us
fast as It would II investors were sure that
property would remain safe for ycars to
some, and be protected by government
strong enough TO enforce law and order"
General Loe declined to discuss political
affairs in Cuba, AID whether or not the
Cubans desired Independence or annexation.
