seIf-Government In Cuba.


General Fitzhugh Lee says he does not
think the people of Cuba are fitted for self
government. He favors protectorate by
the United States or annexation. 1t is
evident that the general will be among
the most robust OF the annexationists before
long. Everybody who has had chance to
learn anything about the Cubans knows that
they are not fitted for independence. II
the United States should withdraw its au-
thority and let the people of the island set
up government for themselves there would
be civil war in Cuba within week. Just at
present the democratic newspapers and
stump speakers are bowling for the with
drawai OF the United States troops from
the island, because they think that this sort
OF talk will embarrass the administration.
but after the elections are over all the demo-
Gratis will acquiesce in the policy OF the ad-
ministration on this as on all other issues
which the war Of 1898 caused.

1t Is announced on good authority that the
president will not ask congress to make a
positive declaratior as to our national in

with the opinion repeatedly expressed in

least in congress 10 The people are debating
the issue and eagerly studying the pros and
cons when presented by impartial and COM
petent witnesses. In due time the popular
will must find expression through congress.
