What Cubans Begin to Realize.
Unfortunately for the future of Cuba,
many of the men who are most prominent
in the revolution, and the men who have
pushed themselves to the political front
since that time. seem TO think that the
purpose of American Intervention was ac-
complished when a change of leaders took
place. They seem quite ready to uphoio
the old system. continue the old abuses. and
reap the same selfish benefits as did the
Spaniards, so long as they are the bene-
ficiaries. The condition of the masses OF
the people does not seem to concern them
one whit more than 1t did the Spaniards.
A change of masters and not of methods
appears to have been the handspring OF
much of their noisy patriotism They say,
1.-The Spaniards are gone, We are Cubans.
Cuba is for Cubans. ergo, the Americans
should now retire and We will rule this
country to suit ourselves for that was the
only object of our war" A realization that
the Americans are taking broader view
of their own responsibilities as regards
Cuba and her people is beginning to dawn
upon these men and is making them rest
less. To what point this restlessness and
disappointment will carry them, and just
how much of 1t they can communicate to
the people of the island at large. are inter-
esting speculations. ]. D. WHELPLEY.
