Cuban Policy is Told

public order, restore the productive con
dltlons of peace SO long disturbed by the
instability and disorder which prevailed
for the greater part of the preceding three
decades and build up that tranquil de-
velopment OF the domestic state whereby
alone can be realized the high purpose as
proclaimed In the joint resolution adopted
by the congress on the 10Th of April, 1898
by which the United States disclaimed
any disposition or intention to exercise
sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over
Cupa, except for The pacification thereof,
ana declared its intention when that was
accomplished to leave the government and
control of the island to it's people. The
pledge contained in this resolution is of
the highest honorable obligation and
must be sacredly kept

been made in this direction. All the add

have aimed 10 fit it for regeuerated ex
istence by enforcing the supremacy of
law and justice; by placing wherever
practicable tie machinery of adminisura
ton in the hands of the Inhabitants; by
instituting needed sanitary reforms; by
spreading education; by fostering in
dustry and trade; by intoxicating public
morality, and, in short, by taking every
rational step TO aid the Cuban people to
attain to that plane of self-conscious re
spect and self reliant unity which fits an
enlightened community for self-govern-
ment within its own sphere, while enab-
ling it to fulGll all outward obligations.
This nation has assumed before the
world Il grave responsibility for the fut-
ure good government of Cuba. We have
accepted a trust, the fultillment of which
calls for the sternest integrity Of purpose

Neutrality Regarding Transvaal War.
This government maintained an atti-
tude of neutrality in the unfortunate con.
test between Great Britain and the Boer
states of Africa. We have remained
faithful to the precept of avoiding en-
tangling alliances as to affairs not of our
direct concern. Had circum stances sug-
gested that the parties to the quarrel
would have welcomed any kindly express
sion OF the hope of the American people
that war might be averted, good offices
would have been gladly rendered. The
United States representative at Pretoria
Was early instructed TO see that all ncu-
tral American interests be respected by
the combatants This has been an easy
task IN view Of the positive declarations
OF both British and Boer authorities that
the personal and property rights of our
citizens should be observed.
Upon the withdrawal of the British
agent from Pretoria, the United States
consul was authorized. upon the request
OF the British government and with the
assent of The South African and Orange
Free State governments, to exercise the
customary good offices of neutral for the
care o British interests. In the discharge
OF this function, | am happy to say that
abundant opportunity has been afforded
to show the i.npartiality of this govern
ment toward Noth the combatants.

sion, to accomplish which we took I'M the

practicable and feasible route for a ship
canal across that isthmus. Good progress
has been made, but under the law com
prehensive and complete investigation is
called for, which will require much labor
and considerable time for its accomplish

work cannot be too often or too strongly
pressed upon the attention of the con

Alaskan Boundary Dispute.
In my last annual message referred tn
the pending negotiations with Great Brit

By means of an executive agreement a
joint high commission had been created
for the purpose of adjusting all unsettled
questions between the United States and
Canada. Much progress had been made
by the commission towards the adjust
ment of many of these questions where III
became apparent that an irreconciliable
difference OF views was entertained re-
specting the delinitation of the Alaskan
boundary. In the failureof an agreement
rs to the meaning of articles 3 and of
the treaty of 1925 between Russia and
Great Britain, which defined the bound
airy eiween Alaska and Canada the
American commissioners proposed that the
subject of The boundary be laid aside and
that the remaining questions of difference
be proceeded with. This being declined
by the rifish commissioners an adjourn
