A Cuban Editor
interviewed in
New York.
Discusses Political parties on
the Island.

Senior Don Nicolas RiverO, the
editor of "El DiariO de la Marina~
of Havana stopped in New York on
his way to Washington. In an in-
tervieao while there he said, among
other things
"Ouba's future is one Of great
moment to me, as Spaniard having
all If my interests in the island, and
it 10 equally . matter of interest to
ell the real friends of Cuba. The
better or influential element in Cuba
wants security and order. They may
be had under American auspices.
With peace and order the island can
prosper and will prosper"
When questioned about the ire
gularities in the Cuban postoffice he
said that in CubA the matter had
not had the prominence that it had
had here. The opponents of Amer.
lean rule emphasized the fact that
none Of the Cuban politicians was
responsible for the present adminis-
tration there. The Irregularities
were made political weapon there,
as here.
Senior Rivero intimated that other
irregularities might be found if the
inVestie CATION was extended to the
other departments. He referred to
the expenses for health and engi.
|neering projects. He was OF the
opinion that if the United States in
taking charge of the island had res-
pected the constitutional autonomy
accorded it by Spain, modifying it
simply to meet the new conditions
created by the American interven-
ton, neither the postal nor other
scandals could have happened. "If
they had occurred under the Cubans,"
he said, "they could have been char
ged to them and not to the Amer
ican government"
Speaking of the political parties,
lie said there were three Of them,
adding: .sNo political party in Cuba
to-day has any real Importance, az
nothing to-day depends on what
they do. Nor do they reflect any
thing of what is thought and done
in Washington, and that is what
occupies the hrst rank in Cuba.
"By name there eGists the s.Union
Nacional" and "El RepublicanO.n
Both demand the Immediate inde-
pendence OF the island. "El Dems-
cratico" is in no haste. The Demo-
cratic party above all wants . strong
and firmly established government
1t also would like some representa-
ton in the affairs Of the island.
Members Of the 6rst and second
party are composed Of tie most ra-
dical Of the revolutionary and sspa-
ratisis Of ths islauds. The Demo-
esatic party is composed almost Ok.

Russian Governments has sought to
relieve the pressure by suspending
for an indefinite period the usual
prohibitory duty Of $3.50 per ton on
