UNCLE SANS RULE A GREAT
BOON TO THE CUBAN PEOPLE

London, Nov. 2.-Joseph White Todd,
president of the Cuban Central Rail-
way Company, while making his an
nual report to-day to the shareholders,
paid a glowing tribute to what he
called "the splendid administration af
forded Cuba by the government of the
United States since the war; Mr..
Todd said:
"Uncle Sans regime has been
great boon to the island. 1t has re-
stored peace and security with extra
ordinary promptness and has given ev-
cry encouragement to legitimate in
dustry. For example, the energetic
Yankee seems to have stimulated the
natives to put off in some measure the
Incidence of the tropics for the activity
of the temperate zone. Everywhere in
the region penetrated by our lines we
see the beginnings of a genuine indus
trial enthusiasm and hope for the
speedy return to Cuba of her more
prosperous days"
Several of the shareholders interrupt
ed Mr.. Todd at this point to inquire
whether there We're any prospects of
an immediate withdrawal of the Unit
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-11-06

ed States authority from the island. He
replied:
I'VE hope not. Certainly, from my
knowledge of American official opin-
ion, l should say that the Washington
government deeply appreciates its re-
sponsibilities consequent upon the
Spanish war. l thinks we can safely
promise our shareholders that there
will be no withdrawal of Yankee au-
thority from Cuba until some govern
ment equally stable has arisen to take
its place. Meanwhile, no Cubans
worthy of serious regard fret under the
provisional control of the Americans"
Mr.. Todd thinks Cuba needs only re
pose in order to become the richest and
most productive country of its size in
the world. Concerning the report that
Governor General Wood means to ap-
point railroad commission to fix the
rates and regulate railway construction
in Cuba, Mr.. Todd said to the Chicago
Record correspondent: I'VE have not
heard of any such commission. For
our own part, we are making the rates
as low as possible in order to fostei
traffic"
