Gen. Fitxhugh Lee. military commander
Of the Department Of the East In Cuba.
who Is now Ia this country on a short
leave OF absence. says that the feeling in
Cuba against the United States Is ex-
tremely bitter, particularly among those
Cubans who were In the army during the
insurrection. These ex-soidiers are dissat-
ished because they have not been per-
mltted to take entire control OF AFFAIRS
From this Il would seem that they were
not fighting so much from patriotism and
to free th~ir country from the yoke OF
Spain, as 20 get into a position where
they could live on the people
What they are afraid OF now Is that
they will not have control Of the govern
meni when Il Is established. and there
fore may not get the fun amount OF what
they claim for their services while fight
Ing Spain. what they have been expect
Ing IL that a government would be estab-
iished IN Cuba that would bond the ISL
ana Tor an immense sum, and distribute
the money among those who constituted
the Cuban army.
The fact that the United States require
that the constitution which the approach
ing constitutional convention viii adopt
shall be submitted for approval 20 Con-
gress. alarms them. They are afraid that
the United States Congress will not ap-
prove a constitution that gives the Cuban
government authority 20 issue bonds 20
pay the enormous claims OF ex-soldlers.
The chances are that they have good rea-
son for their fears. Cuban bonds could not
be sold except al ruinous discount unless
guaranteed by the United States. and II Is
certain that they will not be 50 guaran-
teed. The United States do not intend
that Cuba shall be burdened with an I'M
mensa 6ebt--a debt that would make the
people so dissatisfied that they would well
come revolutions.
The cuhans who are dissatisfied with the
United States have nothing. and do not
count for very much They might make
trouble for awhile. but with the senti-
mcut Of the property holding and thrifty
elements against them they would be soon
starved into submission. II has cost the
United States good deal TO free Cuba.
and Il will cost them a good deal more
hef0re they have a stable government es-
tahllshed In the island. They are not
thersf fore. going TO be Influenced IN the
least in the work they have mapped out
by the dissatisfaction OF the men who

STORM NEWS AND THE PRICE or

There was phenomenal rise IN the
price Of cotton yesterday. Il was caused

open cotton was completely beaten from
the bolts Ia many localities and Ia others
the stake were blown hat 10 the ground.
Il Is probable that the total loss through

now believed Il viii. The nrst reports Of
damage to crops are generally overcsu-

Moyed before the storm that the cotton
crop was short one the loss OF even

on the cotton market that will last
throughout the season. The great rise
OF the market yesterday may not be main
tained when estimates OF the damage that
are regarded as reliable are received. but
the price Of cotton win be higher through
out the season because Of the storm.

II is probable that the Southern cotton

duced price when the new crop was mar

no indication that they will make money
