When a man born in a foreign coun-

When a man born in foreign coun-
try desires to be naturalized in the
United States, he must forswear al
legiance to the prince, potentate, state
or sovereignty" under whose govern
ment his birth took place. With Gu
bans coming to the United States it is
difficult to see what sovereignty they
should renonnce. Certainly 1t is not
the Spanish, for the king of Spain now
has nothing 70 do with Cuba. 1t Is
not the republic Of Cuba, for Cuba has
no recognized government. II is hard
ly the United States, for candidate
could not forswear allegiance to this
government and In the same breath
swear everlasting fealty to 1t. When
this question recently came up in a
Minnesota court. the Judge decided
that as King Alphonso was the last
sovereign who held Cuba as possess
sion. Il the candidate would forswear
allegiance to him the naturalization
might proceed.

The United States government IL

The United States government is
engaged in the dissemination of a
vast amount of valuable information
regarding the policy pursued by the
British government in the manage
ment OF its colonial possessions. 1t
is curious to observe that all that has
been published in this way has been
in response to questions put by the
people to high officials, which shows
that there is a general and deep inter-
est among the citizens of this country
upon the subject. Closer investiga-
ton shows, however, that nearly all
such inquiries come from industrious
British subjects temporarily resiuing
in this country.
