LIEUT.. STOKES GIVES HIS
IMPRESSION OF CUBA.
Has Been Among Them for a
Year and>a-Half AMI Knows
Whereof He Speaks.

Last night Lieut. Marcus b
Stokes, I S A, the popular South
Carolinian who is now detailed as
collector of the port at Cardenas,
Cuba, arrived in the city. He
leaves this morning for Green
vile, where be stops for a day
and then proceeds to New York
to return to Cardenas via gov
ernment transport. He regretted
that his stay in Columbia, where
he has so many friends had to be
SO brief. He only had the oppor-
tunlty to see few of his frieds.
He talked interestingly to a
representative of The State about
Cuba and tho Cubans. Among
other things he said: 81 went to
the island Il year and a half ago
and have opportunities to observe
the people and their characteris-
tics. The popular idea is that the
Cuhans are n very excitable peo-
pie. L have not observed anything
specially of this character among
them. The typical Cuban coun-
trvman is just the very opposite.
They are good, steady workers
both on their plantations and on
the public roads and works that
are being constructed. They are
the most temperate people have
ever seen, and that as a people,
too. 1t is the policy to give every
position available in the island to
native Cubans, preference always
being given to Cuban officers and
soldiers. They are taking the
places in the telegraph and postal
and other services, and seem to
be filling them satisfactorily. In
all cases it is impossible to secure,
of course, the best men on first
effort, hut those obtained are, as
II rule, doing their work most
satisfactorily.
"The color line nong the bot
ter classes, as far as | can Judge.
Is just as sharp as it is in this
country Socially the people are
on par with those found in ou-
own country.
"There is at present clamor.
ing and discontinued element in
Cuba, but this element is not a
part of the class of people I have
just referred to-the sober, think
ing people.
''Crime is almost unknown, az d
this applies to all classes upon the
island, including the Spaniards.
And rs to the Spaniards, there is
a large proportion of the popula-
tion of the cities made up of them.
They are in fact the merchant
class. They are apparently con.
