THE PRELIMINARY STEPS.
Census OF Cuba to BE Taken, Preparatory
to Turning the Island Over as an
Independent Nation

Washington, June a0.-Steps have
been taken. by direction of the presi-
dent. looking toward turning over the
island of Cuba to its inhabitants as an
independent nation. While 1t is recog-
nized that it will be months and posi-
bly, years before the island will be suf-
ficient1y pacified to permit Of the estab-
lishment of stable government, at the
same time it has been decided to take
the preliminary steps. When all dam
ger of uprisings and organized brigand-
age has disappeared the first step will
be to take a complete census of the
island and orders have already been is
sued looking toward this work. 1t is
now proposed to know the number of
native Cubans, Spaniards and foreign
ers, both in the country and the towns
An effort will also be made to get
at least an approximate idea of
the race question in Cuba, so far as
it relates to the colored people. The
census is particularly to show the edu-
cational status OF the people of Cuba,
because on that will depend in a large
degree the question of franchise.

TAMMANY'S WAR CRY.
Famous Democratic Organization Will
Line Up Against Trusts-Cleveland,
Bryan and Hill Invited to Speak.

New York, June 90. The World says:
Tammany is going to array itself
against the trusts. Its Fourth of July
celebration this year will be mainly de-
voted to sounding the antitrust war
cry of the campaign next year. The
two principal speakers of the celebra-
ton will devote their eloquence to
marking the line of battle in the fight.
They are j. J. Willard, ex-chairman of
the democratic state committee of Ala
bama, and Congressman Caruth, of
Kentucky. Both men, who are famed
in their respective states as orators,
will talk about the evils of trusts. w.
j. Bryan has been invited to attend the
celebration and make a speech. He is
not expected to come. Neither is eX-
president Cleveland or David B. Hill,
both of whom have been asked.
