THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT.
The Question OF Its Allegiance to Spain
or America VIII Soon Be Decided.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.--A special to
the Herald from Washington. says:
Though gratified at the excellent
conduct OF the residents Of Cuba since
American occupation began, the au-
thoritiss are still unable to name the
date when American sovereignty shall
end and the inhabitants OF the island
shall commence the administration Of
their own affairs.
Under instructions given by the pres
ident and the secretary OF war before
his departure, General Wood is doing
everything in his power 20 educate the
people OF the island in self government,
not only by example. but by placing
them in positions Of responsibility. It
Is believed that after the Spanish sub
iects OF the island have registered
their allegiance to Spain or Of becom-
Ing citizens OF Cuba, the people will
be ready for elections which viii COM
nit the municipal government Of the
island to the officers elected by the
people,
These elections will, Of course, be
conducted under American supervision.
The operations Of the municipalities
| viii be carefully watched by the ad-
min.stratlon i'm order to determine II
the people are ready for a larger
responsibility and il 1t should be shown
that such is the case, then a represent
ative convention will be called to draft
constitution and to establish a gen.
era system of independent govern
ment.
In his annual message the president
declared that the United States must
see to 1t that free Cuba be reality,
not a name, perfect entity, not a has
ty experiment bearing within itself the
elements of failure"
The year allowed by the treaty of
Paris for the Spanish population of
the island to elect whether they will
be CUBAN or Spanish citizens will ex-
pire on April II, next. 1t was believed
that BY that time the results of the
census would have been computed anc
tabulated, when this government would
then be ready to provide for munici-
pal elections.

ADVANCING ON LADYsMlTH.
Buffers Guns Are Again Within Sound
Of the Beleagured Garrison.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-London today
was permitted to observe a few words
Of news from South Africa. They
stated that General Butler was advaSc-
ing TO the relief of Ladysmith; that
the garrison in the beleaguered town
could hear his guns and that they were
in good spirits, ready to repel and as
sault or cooperate with the rescuing
forces.
While anxiety is again becoming in-
tense, the feeling is now more hopeful
than on the eve Of General Buller's
previous engagements. The British
force on the Tugela has been rein
forced with men and guns. but General
Joubert and his $4,000 men can call in
no new regiments, for the Beers have
need of all their men to defend the
borders OF the Free State. 1t was just
one week ago today that General Bull
Ter announced that he would be in La
dysnith in a week. He has not kept
his word.
No news at all has been received
from the armies operating in Cape Col
ony and there is much speculation in
London as to the plans of Lord Rob-
erts and the mysterious movements of
Lord Kitchener. The general idea is
that they are preparing some Napole-
onic campaign that will bring the war
to speedy finish.

dated Friday, Saturday and Sunday,

LONDON. Feb. 9. a. m.-The mill
tary opinion in London continues TO
assume. from very slender materials,
that General Butler is again throwing
bis army against the Boer forces. Re-
tired General Sir william Henry Green,
whose distinguished career gives much
weight to his opinion, thinks that Cen
eral Butler, with 5000 men, is making
a wide detour to the west and north
in order to avoid the toughest phases
Of the country. AS General Butler
must have thousands OF wagons, Sir
William Henry Green points that his
advance would necessarily be slow.
No authentic word is yet at hans
save that the war Office has reafirmed
orally to the newspaper inquiries at a
late hour that it could not confirm the
reported advance. There the Natal
