STATUS OF RESIDENTS OF CUBA.
sPANIARDS HAVE YEAR TO DECIDE
WHAT THEY WILL DO-SOME WANT


WHAT THEY WILL DO-sOME WANT
TO BE NATURALIZED
Washington. March 10 CSpeciaD With the
exchange of treaty ratifcations Spanish resi-
dents in Cuba acquire distinct status Of their
own. Some Of them do not seem satisfied with
that status for they are indicating desire 10
become citizens Of the United States Inquiries
which have been made recently regarding the
naturalization laws were instituted on behalf Of
Spsniards in Cuba.
Under the treaty they have year I'm which 10
elect whether they will continue Spanish sub
jects. II they renounce their allegiance 10 Spain
they must take their chances with the other in
hsbitants of the island. They do not feel clear
whether that will mean that they shall become
citizens Of a future Cuban Republic or whether
they will ultimately become citizens ~ the
United States through the annexation Of the
island 10 this country
Those who are anxious 20 become American
citizens do not want 70 lose a year in making
their application for naturalization. That is the
secret Of the recent inquiries Immediately after
the protocol was signed some of the planters and
other large Spanish property owners sent their
representatives 10 Washington 10 see II they
could not get their property recorded as the
property Of American citizens. and themselves
become citizens. Their ignorance Of the laws Of
the United States was so great that they thought
this might be done.
At that time they were also afraid lest the
island should be turned over TO the Cubans at
once and reprsals be made by confscating their
property That fear has died out as they have
felt the assurance that the United States was
going to maintain a stable government in the
island, which would insure the security both Of
life and property. Nevertheless. some Of the
leading Spaniards would like TO have their own
future settled by the certainty that the shield Of
the American Government will always he over
them
IL is not improbable that within the next few
months a number of Spanish born residents of
Havana will be taking up their residence in the
United States. This will he a reversal OF the old
conditions under which the Cubans came to the
United States and acquired citizenship in order
10 protect themselves from the Spanish Govern
ment That this citizenship abused was al
ways tacitly admitted. General Grant in his
second term President. recommended that the
naturalization laws be changed. but Congress
never followed his recommendation. II is pos
sible that the subject may again come before
Congress. though the number Of Spanards in
cuba who will seek American naturalization
may not be numerous enough to make an issue

When Henry Maxwell began to speak
to the souls crowded into the settlement
hall that night, it is doubtful if he had
ever before faced such an audience in
his life. It is quite certain that the
city of Raymond did not contain such
variety Of humanity. Not even the
Rectangle at it's worst could furnish so
many men and women who had fallen
entirely out Of the reach Of the church
and all religious and even Christian in
fuences.
What did he talk about? He had al
ready decided that point. He told in
the simplest language he could COM
mand some Of the results of obedience
to the pledge as it had been taken in
Raymond. Every man and woman in
that audience knew something about
Jesus Christ. They all had some idea Of
his character, and, however much they
had grown bitter toward the forms Of
| Christian ecclesiasticism or the social
system, they preserved some standard
of right and truth, and what little some
Of them still retained was taken from
the person Of the peasant of Galilee
So they were interested in what Max

because OF the earthly a1rectlOn when
heaven itself sanctions with it's solemn

Now, it was a little after the love
story of the settlement became a part of
it's glory that Henry Maxwell Of Ray
mond came to Chicago with Rachel
Winslow and Virginia Page and Rollin
and Alexander Powers and President
Marsh, and the occasion was remark
able gathering at the hall Of the settle
ment. arranged by the bishop and DR.
Bruce, who had finally persuaded Mr.
Maxwell and his fellow disciples of
Raymond to come on to be present at
this meeting.
The bishop invited into the settle
ment hall meeting for that night men
out of work, wretched creatures who
had lost faith in God and man. anar-
chists and infidels freethinkers and no
thinkers The representatives of all the
city's worst. most hopeless, most dan
gerous, depraved elements faced Henry
Maxwell and the other disciples when
the meeting began, and still the Holy
Spirit moved over the great, heaving,
selfish, pleasure loving, sin stained city,
and it lay in Gods hand, not knowing
all that awaited it. Every man and
woman at the meeting that night had
seen the settlement. motto over the door,
blazing through the transparency set
up by the divinity student, what
Would Jesus Dor
And Henry Maxwell, as for the first
time he stepped under the doorway,
was touched with deeper emotion than
he had felt in a long time as he thought
of the first time that question had come
to him in the piteous appeal of the
shabby young man who had appeared
in the First church of Raymond at the
morning service
Was his great desire for Christian fell
lowship going to be granted? Would
the movement begun in Raymond actu-
ally spread over the country? He had
come to Chicago with his friends partly
to see if the answer to that question
would be found in the heart of the great
city life In a few minutes he would
face the people. He had grown very
strong and calm since he first spoke
with trembling to that company of
workingmen in the railroad shops, but
now, as then, he breathed deeper
prayer for help. Then he went in, and
with the bishop and the rest Of the dis
ciples he experienced one Of the great
and important events Of the earthly
life. Somehow he felt as if this meeting
would indicate something of an answer
to his constant query, "What would
Jesus do?' and tonight as he looked
into the faces of men and women who
had for years been strangers and enc.
mics to the church his heart cried out,
30 my Master, teach thy church how
to follow thy steps better' Is thai
prayer Of Henry Maxwell's to be an
swered? Will the church in the city re-
spond to the call to follow him? Will i
choose to walk in his steps of pain ani
suffering? And still over all the city
broods the Spirit Grieve him not, {

every mark Of being street laborer
sprang to his feet and poured colt a per

ations, especially the railroads. The
minute his time was up big, brawny
fellow who said he was metal worker

that the remedy for the social wrongs

man endeavored to give some reasons
why SO many persons were out Of en-
ployment and conde inventions as

applauded by the rest Of the company.
