Senator PIatt So States as to the Obser-

Much Depends on the Coming Munich

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The sub-com-
mittee of the senate, consisting of Sena-
tors Platt, of Connecticut; Aldrich and
Teller, which went to Cuba for the pur
pose of personally investigating condi.
tions ON the island with view to intel.
ligent action by congress with respect to
Cuba, returned to Washington. Sena-

the subcommittee observations, i'll
which he said in part:
eve were in Havana in all five days.
We also visited the provinces of Pinar
del Rio, Matanzas and Santa Clara, be-
ing unable to 90 to Santiago and Puerto
Principe, as we very much wished.
at may be said of all classes in Cuba
that they are looking to the establish.
ment of an independent government, a
Cuban republic. A few are i'm patient
and wish for immediate independence.
Others are less inpatient. believing that
sufficient time should be taken to avoid
mistakes and to set up the new govern.
ment upon such firm basis as to in.
sure its success and permanence. All
are looking forward to the municipal
elections that are to take place in the
latter part of May, regarding such elec.
tions as the step toward the establish.
ment of the new government. Much
will depend on the result of these elec.
tions. If they take place without dis
order and good officials are elected, that
will go far to prove the capacity of the
people for elf-goveInment, and steps
can be taken without great delay for
further progress III that direction. The
problem is complicated by the fact that
self-government is an untried expert
ment, by people who have had little
opportunity to study its principles or
details, its necessities or its response
bilities. Many of the more conserva-
tive citizens and business men, unfor-
tunately. show too much disposition to
hold aloof.'
The administration of Governor Gen
eral Wood is highly praised by Senator
Platt. He then said i'll part:
"It is not too much to say that the
people of Cuba, in respect to the forma.
ton of a stable and beneficent govern.
ment, are very much like children who
have to be taught and led. They re.
gard the United States as their friend
and teacher, and as a whole are quite
willing to be guided.
"There are great possibilities in the
island. 1t is fertile, has great natura,
resources, and is capable of supporting 6
population four or five times larger thar
it numbers at present. On the whole
there has been marvellous recuperation
since the declaration of peace, but il
needs American capital and American
enterprise which hesitate as yet to &C
there. English and German capita,
SCENE more confident and is being in.
vested. Surely our own people ought
to have as much confidence in the fu-
ture of Cuba as foreigners have"

DAVIS RESIGNS.
DECIDES TO LECTURE IN BEHALF
OF BOERS.

Felt He Could DO So Better as Private
Citizen Than as Assistant Secretary
of the Interior-Just Returned From
South Africa.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The formal
resignation of Webster Davis as assist
INT secretary of the interior was sent to
the president through his private secre-
tary. At the White House no state
ment was obtainable concerning the res
ignation other than the fact that it had
been received, and the officials declined
to say whether it would be accepted.
Mr.. Davis decided to resign because
of the acceptance Of an invitation to
deliver lecture Oh the South African
war, and he felt that as an official he
could not express his views with such
freedom as he could as a private citi-
zen. The invitation was extended by
non partisan citizens of Washington
and was not inspired i'll any way by per-
sons directly connected with Boer in
tereStS.
