ANXIOUSLY AWAIT NEWS.
Members Of the Administration View the
IlOilO Situation IA SeriOus-TO
Avoid an Encounter.

Washington, Jan. l1.-Although
nothing of an alarming nature has
received from Iloilo, there is no doubt
that members of the administration
view the situation as somewhat serious
and are anxously awaiting further
news No apprehension, however, is
felt as to the result of any collision
which might take place between
United States forces now on the is.
land and the natives, but the presi-
dent is very anxious to avoid any en-.
counter whatever. He feels certain
that if the natives can be made to un-
derstand that this government
comes TO them in a most friendly and
helpful spirit, there will be no further
trouble and so he has given instruc-
tions to Gen. Miller that the utmost
patience must be exercised and every
reasonable request granted in order
to avoid an open rupture. Members
of the administration express the
opinion that the delay in the rati-
fcaton of the treaty of peace
has contributed not a little to the
belligerent spirit shown by the ma
tives and as soon as that has been dis
posed of, it is believed that the recalci-
lrant element will accept it as no
tice that the sovereignty of the island
has passed to the United States and
that no opposition to its formal pos
session will be tolerated. At the cabi-
net meeting to-day the situation in
the Philippines was gone over and
some time was given to questions OF
administration in Cuba.

PORTER TALKS OF cUBANs.
Man Close to Mckiniev Avs The, VITA
Make Application for Admission to
the Union M state.

New York, Jan. ll.-Robert D. Por-
ter, President McKinley's special COM
missioner to Cuba and Porto Rico,
spoke last night at Cooper union on
Practical Problems That Confront
Us in Cuba" Mr.. Porter said that Cuba
has now, under the occupation OF the
United States, everything she ever
fought for. The United States
wants not a foot Of her soil
without paying hard cash and
will expend every penny Of the
Cuban revenues on Cuba. lie said the
political future Of Cuba is difficult
problem to dispose Of and thought it
advisable for the present to let mat
tiers stand as they are. He is firmly
convinced that the Cubans can govern
themselves and that they will make
for admission to the union
as state. From military and strate-
gical view points, he said, it would be
to let Cuba 60 and the ques-
ton is, therefore, in what state shall
it be held.
Mr.. Porter said the labor problem is
the most puzzling one in Cuba. He
said the island has acapacity Of 1850.
900 tons of sugar year, but because
Of lack OF labor the planters can pro-
duce only 100000 tons. He said that
he thought large capitalists will find
profitable investments in the island,
but he would not advise clerks or men
If small means to 90 there He said
The future of the island depended al
together upon the upbuilding of these
great industries, sugar, tobacco and
ron ore. He prophesied an era of
'eace and prosperity for both Cuba
md Porto Rico.
