And the Future Peace and Prosperity
Of the Island WIN bs
Assured.

MATANzAs, Cuba, March 4.-Gen.
James H. WILSON, military governor Of
the department of Matauzas-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
question. The future depends largely
upon agricultural! prosperity and
where work Is plentiful, wages are good
and q country is prosperous, no sensi-
BILE man wishes to alter conditions.
ANY person who publlshes reports
representing the Cubans as preparing q
rising does so with a malicious intent
to misrepresent them, or because he
has been led to believe this by those
who know better The prospects Of
Cuba are very bright. II sugar goes to
the United States free, or nearly So
there will be such an influx Of capltnl
and of immigrants as would render
Cuba ere long one Of the richest and
most prosperous places in the world,
"The cattle industry yields enormous
profits, particularly as respects work
ing cattle, which can never be replaced
by mules, because the peculiar eoudl-
tIons are better adapted to cattle.
cofEee. timber and fruit also offer great
Inducements to capitalists and tobac-
co planting yields almost immediate
returns.
II do not consider that the immedi-
ate future of Cuba depends chiefly upon
schools, road making, improved sanita-
tIon or judiciary reform, although, Of
course. these things are Of very great
Importance. The best the United
States can do for Cuba and the cubans
ID to give every opportunity for Inn
proving the value of the land by put
ting 1t to the best uses. In this way
capital could do an immense amount Of
good here as well us get large returns"
