which were taken up by some three thousand
people assembled outside the clubhouse on the

am here as your friend. and in no other
capacity. Only those who remember the Ten
Years War can have as full knowledge OF the
conditions of this province as 1 have myself
When I first saw FL Caney matters were In

was marked with dead and dying. In the I'M.

of the friendly interest shown by the American
Everybody in the United States was aston
ished at The satisfactory way in which the mu-
nicipal elections passed off, President Mckinley
personally asserted that he thought the time
for the next step had come. Whatever the ul-
innate destiny of Cuba may be, her immediate
move on the part of the United States, but
sincere desire TO do what is right Therefore
beg you as personal 1avor TO me and to the
United States Government 10 sink your political
differences and passions. ard TO send men TO
the convention who are renowned for honor and
capacity so that the convention may mean
more than the Cubans even now anticipate.
Again 1 say send the best men. The work
before your representatives is largely legal
work 1 care not what your party politics are.
but whatever they are. for the present party
considerations must be suspended for the sake
of the great end in view. the end that will make
history and affect the welfare of all Cuban
people.
Your delegates must be competent to draft
a constitution, and 1t is a duty you owe your
selves and your fellow patriots to see that your
representation is without party prejudice. Bear
in mind that no constitution which does not
provide for a stable government will be
cepted by the United States. I wish to avoid
making Cuba into a second Hayti, although
do not think that possible
You want liberty for all, and for no particular
party The United States insists that you shall
have It. This Is possible, and easily possible.
We have said Il 70 the world. 1t lies with you
to help us make our word good. Your enemies
predict failure. The people OF the United States
and their representatives hope to see you defeat
these predictions If we We're not your friends
we would not seek the best men you have. but
would seek the disturber and the malcontent to
represent YOU in the convention. We seek and
demand the best you have. Again 7 say send
people TO the convention who will hereafter
make your political system workable and per-
manent.
General Woods speech is considered by Gu
bans here to be the most important declaration
made since the American occupation began.
