The l.econstruction Of cuba.


Whatever shall be the final outcome
of the military occupation or the slanC
Of Cuba by the United States whether
complete or temporary independence o
the people of the island, or annexation
ia some form to the United States
the first sixty days of that occupation
will always probably remain its most
interesting and important part. Dur
ing the first two months of the stay oil
the American armv in the island, for
the declared purpose of pacifying the
country and establishing stable gov
.ernment by the people of Cuba, vast
and extensive governmental machinery
was set in operation. 1t involved en-
ormous labor and great tact. 1t re-
,Quired patience, courage and shrewd
business foresight.
In those two months the momentous
task of reCOnstructirg a foreign land
was begun. 1t was land cursed by
centuries of misrule, whose chief char
acteristics were corruption, disease,
and filth, and this misrule was prac-
&ised upon a nervous, volatile people,
polite and in most respects gentle; and
as keen mentally, from the most intel
slectual and refined to the most ignorant
and brutal, as probably exists any
where in the world. The story to be
told comes from the lips Of men OF
every degree, from American major
generals to the peasants that live in
huts, from pro-Spaniards, from annex
satiOnists, from advocates of complete
Cuban independence, from merchants,
professional men, and laborers in the
fields.
Lt is a story that will probably re-
veal to Americans something of the
tremendous labor that our army Off
Gals have had to undertake, and
something of the fidelity, under a
strict compliance with the idea that
American military occupation OF the
island was to be only temporary, with
which they began their task. Not
until one visits the island and examines
infinitely into the work that was es
tablished in these first sixty days car
he understand thoroughly the extent
OF the labor involved, and not unit
then can he appreciate the devotion tt
duty Of our officials-a devotion tina
required the burning of lamps by hun
dreds of men night after night unit
long after midnight-and what it has
meant, and will mean, for the island o

POLICY HOLDERS PROTEST.
Kenosha Holders IN Northwestern Mutual
Life Petition the Legislature.

The policy holders in Kenosha of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company are pref airing petition to
the legislature protesting against the
bill introduced by Judge Orton pro-
viding for the taxation of insurance
companies in the state.
The policy holders in this city are
among the best known men in town,
and the petition will probably have
considerable weight in the legislature
from this section of the state. The
signers of the petition claim that the
law is one making an unjust discrimin
alton againt the company that they
are interested in, as it will increase the
taxes of this company over $5O,OOO
and furthermore, that it will provide
that the company pay double taxes on
it's assets as much of these are already
taxed in other states.
They claim that the law has been in
troduced by it's author for the sole pur'
pose of making political powder fol
use in his next campaign when he viii
be a seeker for the Republican nomi
nation for the Office of Governor. They
claim that the Judge was recently
gwen a serious turn down by the com
pany, and the bill is an attempt to ge
even with the company by increasing
their taxes. The law will not affect any
other company doing business in thu
state. Similar petitions have beer
sent to the legislature from Racine ant
other surrounding cities.

SENATOR HoAR's fervent philippe,
which was printed in the press dis
patches this morning, is based upon the
presumption that Aguinaldo repre-
sents the people of the Philippine
islands, and that they sympathize with
him in what Senator Hoar calls his
struggle for liberty. This is denied by
all the army and navy officers who
have returned from Manila and by
Prof. Knapp, the agent of the agricul-
tural department, who made a thor
Ough investigation of public sentiment
in the islands. Their statements are
corroborated from every quarter. They
represent that the property holders,
the business men and the responsible
portion of the population have no con
fdence in Aguinaldo and abhor him as
a dangerous adventurer. He secured
his money by blackmail aud his mill
tary support by the vilest of misrepre-
sensations as to the purposes and the
intentions of the United States Chi
