THE CUBAN PROBLEM.

peaceably the better it will be fl
the island, and also the Unite
States.-Westmoreiand Recorde
Annexation to the United State
would give the inhabitants c
Cuba as free a government as i
possessed by the people of Kansas
They would have charge of thei
, local affairs and in case of troubl
? would have justice and law al
piled to- the situation. Cuba i
naturally dependent on the Unite'
States for market and for supplies
| 1t might as well be American il
|, name as in fact. .-HutchiSon News
There is undoubtedly more tall
in the cafes of Havana of an in
dependent Government for Cub;
than of anything else, but it is ex
ceedmgly doubtful il this repre-
sentS the real sentiment of the
people of the island. The conser
vative classes, the men who pay
the taxes and form the backbone
of every Government in Cuba, are
mot talking. There is no doubt If
| the opinions OF the most reliable
men who have personally looked
into the matter are to be regarded,
but that the overwhelming senti-
ment of these conservative classes
is in favor of annexation to the
United Statas. This feeling, SO
little discussed at this time, will
be exceedingly powerful when the
time comes for the settlement of
the questions at issue. = 1t is
exceedingly doubtful if there can
be a stable and yet a free Govern
ment in Cuba without annexation.
1t is possible and even probable
that both the duty and the inter
ests of the United States will de-
mand annexation and that the Gu
ban people in time will realize this.
Peoria Journal.
1t IS not necessary or competent
that the Administration set forth
a specific form of government for
Cuba, but it is necessary that it
declare a policy so as to allay all
rwPITs s.rssrars.
of the United States in the islands
is merely temporary. Both the
capital now ready to seek invest
ment there and the people of the
island need to be assured beyond
all doubt of the stability OF Ameri-
can rule. Cuba, like Porto Rico,
should enjoy all the benefits OF
being under the flag of the United
States. In both cases it is true
that agricultural development and
trade extension will bring pros
perity and contentment, and that
such development requires the re-
moval of all uncertainty. Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Under the protection of the
United States Cuba is enjoying a
tranquility it never before has
known, and is avoiding the serious
troubles into which it would be
plunged Immediately if it under
took the experiment of setting up
an independent government, and
of attempting to merge into one
common mass the discordant and
conflicting elements that constl-
tute its population. Under pres
ent conditions its people are being
educated gradually in the science
of government, and are being given
an object lesson that will prove
valuable when they are called up
on to act for themselves, but thus
far they have not convinced I'M
partial observers that they are
able to manage their own affairs
without the help and protection Of
the United States. There are SO
many difficulties before them that
annexation seems to be the most
sensible solution of the problem
