The Future or Cuba.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-"Thc Future
Of Cuba, = is Il paper by Maj. Gen.
Fitzhurh Lee which will appear in
the Independent tomorrow as follows
"Whcn will the United States cvacu
ate Cuba? That is a question am very
frequently asked, and | suppose it is
natural for people to suppose that from
my peculiar facilities for obscrya-
tion in the Island, | might have some
knowledge, or at least some opinion
about it.
"Ncvcrthclcss, have no such
knowledge and 10 such opinion. With
the very best Of wlllon the part Of our
Government Il desire to keep its
pledges and cayc the inhabitants Of
Cuba to cnipy their Independence in
their own way, there are many diff
cutie in The way Of withdrawal, and
whether or not we have in the last six
months made progress toward the end
| am unable to say.
! ct can say that during the last
six months crime has decreased and
peace and prosperity are spreading or
rcyiying in great measure. This,
however, seems attributable to the
presence of United States troops whom
the chief property holders and conscr-
vativc business men insist must stay.
The CubanS themselves seem to be
very much divided in opinion as to
what ought to be done. Some want
an independent government immcd-
atcly; others insist that Cuba should
be annexed to the United States and
great numbers Of others seem to have
no positive opinion regarding the path
their country should pursue. There
is, of course, on the part of MAORI
ty lack OF understanding Of the diff
ficultics of sclf-govcrnmcn.
"At present the census is being ta-
ken in Cuba and for the first time We
shall have an accurate and reliable
enumeration. When that has been
finished the experiment Of free gov
crnmcnt by Cubans for Cubans will, |
believe, be tried. Precisely in what
locality or in what form, l do not
know. That is matter for our govern
ment to decide, and | have obtained
no information Of its intention in the
matter.
III it is found that the Cubans can
organize and maintain government
on their Island that will protect life
and property, undoubtedly we shall
withdraw and allow them to go their
way along the path of independence,
accompanied by nothing more cmbar-
rassing than our very best wishes.
"But at present all is tentative, all
attempts at government are merely
experimental, and not being prophet
l am unable to say what the future
holds for the Pearl of the Antilles. I
sincerely hope that it is happiness and
prosperity in their greatest abundance

who made his acquaintance were two
gentlemen. One Of them was a Meth
odist clergyman, from somewhere in
Kentucky, and as his companion had
clerical look and seemed so great a
friend to him, DR.. IIcrrick naturally
concluded that the companions, too,
was Methodist. The mention Of the
town where the Methodist preacher
lived reminded DR.. JIcrrick Of a
story.

vcrcnd doctor smiled his kindly

Campcllitcs, or Christians, a church
of Il very recent origin. For several
months lie kept him to the straight
and narrow way, but one day he hap
pcncd to be driving very fast horse,
when he passed race track. He
drove in, and despite his good resolu-
tions he fell from grace and presently
sent his horse around the track in the
fashion of his unrcgcnerate days.
Somebody saw him and reported him.
lie was summarily turned out Of the
church. y day or two aftcrwaro
friend met him and asked him if tn
dismissal from the church had not
been a great blow to him. Lew was
unexpectedly cheerful. He was not
at all cast down.
"'No, said he, 4 think it served
me right. ought to have known
better than to join scrub church

The Methodist preacher laughed
immoderately. His companion smiled,
but in an embarrassed way The
Methodist finally dried his eyes.

companion on the back. "Hc's the
