Lee Talks About Cuba.
People of the Island Want
a Stable Government of
Their Own.

Washington, D. G., Sept o.
General Fitzhugh Lee, who has re.
turned from Cuba on q leave of
absence is here Speaking today of
the situation in Cuba, be said
'.The Cubans have held their local
elections preliminary to the establish
ment of a government and will meet
in convention to provide for the
machinery of government. By the
terms Of the fourth clause of the re
solution of Intervention to secure the
freedom of Cuba. congress disclaim-
ed any intention to exercise sover-
eighty over Cuba except for the
pacifcaticn of the island and promis
ed to leave it's government and con
troll to its people when that should be
accomplished. Under this declara-
ton steps have been taken looking
to the establishment of stable
government by the people
"In the exercise of franchise those
who served in the army of the re-
volution against Spain are exempted
from the restriction placed upon the
voter that be must be possessed Of
two hundred dollars worth Of pro
perty or be able to read and write.
All who served in the revolutionary
army are at liberty to vote without
restriction.
"The Revolutionary party which
has been largely successful in the re.
cent elections, desires immediate
independence, without any sort Of
protectorate. control or supervision
by the United States. and the i'm

troops The more conservative peo.
pie merchants and business men,
many of whom are Spanish, and the
Cubans of some wealth aud substan-
tiaI business interests, together with
tie foreigners. of whom there are
many of different nationalities, desire
continuance of the supervision of the
United States.
"The United States undertook re-
sponsibility for the establishment of
q stable form of government and is
pledged to the protection of the
British, German, French and other
foreign subjects residing and doing
business in Cuba If the Cubans
form an entirely independent govern
ment, rejecting all supervision or
control by the United States and the
United States acquiescing withdraws
its troops, re1iuquishiug all authority,
question arises as to the guaranteed
protection of foreign interests
"1f any disorder should arise and
foreign subjects should be injured
and foreign interests suffer, all re.
sponsibiIity being abandoned by the
United States, the power whose sub
jects were injured or where interests
were threatened would undoubtedly
send war vessels, perhaps. many OF
them. to the ports Of Cuba to insure
the protection which we no longer
gave, and to compel reparatiou Of
injury that was done You under
stand what this would mean? | dc
not know what this government will
do if a government which rejects
connection with the United States is
organized and the withdrawal Of out
troops demanded. 1t may be if there
is plain indication of disorder or in
ability on the part of the newly form
ed government to preserve order and
to protect foreigners. that we will re-
tain troops on the island for the pur-
poses of protection uutil the stability
of the new government is assured "

LABORERS ON HAWAII.

Hilo, June 23.-There seem to have
been some slight "emeutes" at various
times and places on this island during
the past week, as well as on the other
Islands OF the group: state of affairs
which was only to be expected at the
period Of transition from the old to the
new political and industrial regime.
On the whole however, these troubles
have for the most part settled them
selves when the misunderstanding
which occasiOned them was corrected.
In most cases a desire on the part Of
the Japanese contract laborers to Sc
cure their cancelled contracts previous
to proceeding with their labors caused
a suspension of work, and wherever
this was granted them, as at Waiakea,
they settled down quietly to earn their
bread lat the old stand" as free labor
ers, making no disturbance when ring

serve their own ends, We're discharged

The real leaders and directors of the
Japanese everywhere are acting with
discretion and good faith and will
probably be able to guide their coun-
trymen through this critical period to
the satisfaction of all save the deliber-
ate and malicious malcontents.-Tri-

ILL TIMED OPPOSITION.

Opposition to municipal organization
throughout the Territory does not
come as a surprise. This opposition
was to a certain extent apparent in the
discussion of the Hawaiian bill be-
fore Congressional completes and was
so far successful that the original
amendment, making municipal organ-
ization mandatory, was modified, leaH'
ing the matter optional.
In some quarters this opposition Is
prompted by the personal desire to
keep up the old custom OF holding the
administration of affairs throughout
the Territory in the hands Of a few,
while others take the slow going, in
