would warrant tho carrying out by the
| President I'm the near future Of the pro-
| visions of the war resolution guarantee
ing Independence to Cuba, after tho es-
| tablishment OF a stable form OF govern
| ment, It would seem that the admasfistre-
| lion IS 10th, for the present. 70 part with
! the power which IL now wislds therA
From Information obtained from GER
| tain members Of tho Cabinet. II Is Aearn-
| ed that the President will not likely ask
| Congress at tho coming session flo
| take any hand in tho administration, OF
| affairs in Cuba. The reason assigned for
this course Of action by the President Is
! said to be the fact that certain plans
looking to the establishment OF a new
! government there. which he now has
| under consideration, are not fully ma
tured. The census must be taken. the
! qualifications Of voters determined, and
a representative assembly duly elected
before the Cubans are to taste tina sweets
of self-government. II is the Presidents
belief that these things will take UP so
much time before being contaminated
that tho coming session Of Congress will
have expired before they arc accom-
pllshed.
A CIVIL GOVERNOR.
Meanwhile, a civil governor viii be APP

mandant.
The President IS now considering the
matter of this civil governors appoint
| ment. While be has not yet determined
whom he will select Il is known that he
thinks very fayOrably OF General James
| II. Wilson, commander OF the military
| department OF Matanzas, General Wood.
| at Santiago. and General Lee, commander
| of tho Department OF h0bana-
it may be stated, autn0rtativeiy, how
| ever. that the President viii positively
ask Congress to proceed at once TO cs-
| tabish a civil government for Puerto
! Rico. lie viii suggest new government,
| patterned after the form OF our Terrific
rics.
