Awaits Developments
In the Philippines

Washington, Nov. 20.-The Secretary
of War spent over two hours with the
President today discussing his annual
report, on which repUri will be based
some of the pcs'. important sections Of
the Presidents me- ,saga to Congress.
It is understood that this section Of
the message will be held open as long
as possible, awaiting developments in
the Philippines which may change the
status of the situation almost any
day. The other sections Of the mess
age are nearly completed, but to finish
the message before Congress meets
will call for large amount of hard
work. Owing to this fact 1t is prob
able that the President will not be
able to go to Nashville to participate
In the welcome home of the Tennessee
Regiment. No definite determination
has been made, however. II the trip
is undertaken ID will be made in the
hriefest practicable time.
There were a number of callers at
the White House. Senator Plat join
ed the President during the latter's
morning walk and called at the White
House with him. Secretary Long call
ed TO pay his respects on his return
from the West. With him was Senator
Lodge. who had quite long visit with
the President. Senator Cullom, Sena-
tor Clark and Representative Fowler
of New Jersey and Representative
Loud Of California were among the
other callers.

WANT TO ANNEX CUBA
Advocates Pressing Their Cause IN
Washington.
Delegation Representing Cuba Board Of
Agriculture-CordIally Received by
The President.

Washington. November To.-A special
to the Examiner says: The first formal
suggestion hat The annex ,''n e Cuba Is
desired by Cubans viii re mace to pres-
dent Mckinley tomorrow.
A delegation consisting Ct Alvaristo
Mantalvo, rich Cuban planter, and
Francisco Figueras, editor Of the "Epoca,"
an annexation paper Of Havana, and ac-
companied by William o. Mcdowell,
President of the Cuban-American League,
arrived here tonight and tomorrow will
begin a series of calls on the President,
Secretary Root and Secretary Gage to dis
Gus the future Of the island.
This delegation represents the Board Of
Agriculture OF Cuba, and the primary OBJ
jeet of their visit Is to secure reduction
of the duty on sugar, placing Cuba at
least on par with British colonies under
the reciprocity treaty, and other conces.
sions In behalf of Cuban producers as
will enable them to re-establish the indus
tries of the island.
The sugar industries Of Cuba are pros
trated and mortgaged to the Spanlards to
the extent Of $4,000, 900, and upon this
debt an interest of 20 per cent Is paid. It
Is the intention Of the delegates to have
comfortable balance with which to work
the plantations Of the Cubans. The dele
gates have already consulted New York
financiers, who have promised to advance
the money, providing some assurances can
be given that It will be safe to do so.
This, of course, means that the United
States should remain in the island indefi-
nitely, and eventually annexation. While
the mission of the delegates is apparent as
commercial one, they would naturally
speak Of the political situation to the Pre-
sident and tell him of the growing de-
mand" for annexation.
President Mcdowell Of the Cuban-Ame-
rlcan League, who is an enthusiastic an
nexatlonlst, said:
Cuba has but one future, and that Is
annexation to the United States. The
substantial men of Cuba, which, Of
course, means the property-owners, are un-
anlmously In favor Of annexation. pro-
pose to take advantage of this occasion to
present the matter of President Mckinley.
If vote should be taken In Cuba under
the old Spanish law, which Is now In
force, and requires voter to pay taxes to
the value Of S2s before he Is permitted to
vote at the municipal elections, and $50 to
enable him to cast his ballot In the gov
ernmental elections, It would be unani'
nous for annexation"
The Administration will receive the
delegation cordially. This Is evidently
the beginning Of the Republican plan to
annex Cuba as soon as possible, and thus
obvIate the establishment Of an lndepen'
dent government.
