GENERAL WILSON
 FEARS NO TROUBLE
He Says Reports of Uprising
 Are Absolutely Untrue
PREDICTS BRIGHT FUTURE
The Best Thing That Gan Be Done for the Country Is to Urge the - Improvement of All
 Lands.

Matanzas, Cuba, March 4.-General J. H. Wilson, military governor of the depart ment of Matanzas, Santa Clara. in the course of an interview to-day regarding Cuban affairs, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press:
 "Trouble is absolutely out of the ques- tion. The future depends largely upon ag- ricultural prosperity, and where work is plentiful wages are good and a country is prosperous, no sensible man wishes to alter conditions.
 Any person who publishes reports rep- resenting the Cubans preparing an up- rising does so with malicious intent to mis- represent them. or because he has been lead to believe this by those who know bet ter. The prospects of Cuba are very bright. If sugar goes to the United States free or nearly so, there will be such an in- Aux of capital and of immigration as would render Cuba ere long one of the richest and most prosperous places in the world.
 ''The cattle industry yields enormous profits, particularly respects working cattle, which can never be replaced by mules, because the peculiar conditions are better adapted ito cattle. Coffee, timber, and fruit also offer great inducements to cap- italists and tobacco planting yields almost immediate returns.
 "I don't consider that the immediate fu- tture of Cuba depends chiefly upon schools, road making, improved sanitation, or judic- iary reform, although of course these things are of very great importance. The best the United States can do for Cuba and the Cubans is to give every opportunity for improvine t-- value qf land. rattlue it zHa e'et uss4 ir Chs Har e7r5-al could de az- meHse au.aant z god here 7s we s- get afse re,l-a#

 The Payment
 "As to the amount of the fund actually on hand in the treasury subject to be treat ed as the captured or abandoned property fund, some interesting questions will arise in the course of the litigation which will follow the passage of this act. For exam pie, under the act of congress of July 2, 1864, the secretary of the treasury pur- chased with the funds already received for the sale of captured property. cotton which he sold for profit in currency of $2,5n,- O90 %, the whole proceeds of the cotton so purchased amounting to $6,015,S05.39. It will be for the courts to decide whether this fund, profits included is to be treated as part of the captured and abandoned prop erty fund. The courts have decided that this property is held by the government as a trustee for the benefit of the owners, and it would seem that the trustee is re- sponsible to this fund for all the profits made by dealings with it.
 "Persons who have good claims ought to be able to recover under the rules laid down in the bill, if their claims are fully and fairly presented. Receipts by the agents who received the cotton are valua- ble evidence but, of course, the seizure can be established by other evidence and great care must be taken by claimants to prove who are now the parties interested in each claim

 It is learned that Colonel Youngblood' who had been fighting-vaughan, promised the parties whose names are signed to the above agreement that he would not be candidet te for reelection to the position of national chairman.
 Bingham's friends here say that the con test must now proceed smoothly, and that there can be no further acrimony.
 It is understood that MT. Bingham will not raise the question of the action of the last state convention making the chairman ineligible after a second term, but his friends say that the feeling in the party is strongly in sympathy with the spirit of the resolution referred to. and that the chances are decidedly favorable for the election of a new chairman.
 Vaughans friends profess to be satisfied with the turn matters took in Washington. but some of them. 1t Is believed, would have preferred "a continuance of the hot fight that was being made.
