CUBANs REJOICE AT THE MESSAGE

CUBANS REJOICE AT THE MESSAGE.
ALL CLASSES EMPRESS SATISFACTION AT THE
PRESIDENTS WORDS.
Havana, Dec. 6-President McKinley's Mes
sage TO Congress has been received by Cubans
OF all classes with much satisfaction. Even the
leaders Of the extreme party admit this. and the
announcement that there will be no American
Civil Governor has cleared away most Of the
clouds that had been hanging over the Cuban
political situation. The "Lucha" alone among
the papers still favors a Civil Governorship.
General Coilazo says:
The Message will pacify the country. Presi-
dent McKinleys statements not very
crete; but If Congress guarantees the independ-
ence OF Cuba, We need not ask for any specif1ca
ton as 10 time or for the removal OF the Amer
lean troops. although everybody would be glad
TO see the black troops GO because of the ex-
cesses they commit
Cubans fear the Administration, but they do
not fear Congress. The Administration repre-
sents the trusts. Although Cubans are as good
business men as Americans, they could not com
pete with the enormous power of the trusts,
which, by creating monopolies, would eventu-
ally enslave the workingman We wish TO see
each man owning some property, at least enough
TO make II worth his while 10 behave as good
citizen should. instead Of going 10 the woods.
Gualherto Gomez says:
had expected the Message to be encouraging.
but i had not expected Sucn Greatness VI
thought Congress will go further and will JUS
tfy the hope OF the Cuban people.
The Discussion" says:
President McKinley's Message will I'LL the
hearts Of all lovers OF Cuba with joy His
words: Whatever be the outcome, we must see
TO II that free Cuba be reality, not name,
should be written in letters OF gold over the
door OF the Cuban White House. The CUBAN
republic will be bound to Lincoln and Mckinley
by indissouble bonds of love.
The "Patria" says:
Hurrah for President Mckinley, He could not
have spoken in clearer tones. 1t Is Impossible
for the giddiness Of conquest TO oVerpower the
deep, natural impulse OF a noble and demo-
cratic people
The "Cubano" says:
The Message contains the clearest words yet
spoken by President Mckinley. and SHOWS that
Justice is the guiding principle al WASHINGTON
Our hearts hitherto bowed down by tremendous
.cepticism are now relieved and we may e1-
pect Congress to speak still more clearly.

the insurgents and his statement OF the faithful
efforts made to II will not be entirely over
