INDEPENDENCE FOR CUBA.
Secretary Roots Views Concerning
the Islands Future


Secretary Root received word yesterday
would sail today for the United States. He
! will come direct from New York to WASH

! Is intended to arrange at this conference
/ the general plans for the Cuban consti-
tutional convention, and General Wood will
probably tell what attitude the people of
Cuba appear to hold on the question OF an
| nexation. Secretary Root said yesterday
! that while he had heard that some OF the
Cubans wanted annexation, he believed
| from what he heard when in Havana and
from the reports from General Wood that
the people Of Cuba really wanted indepen-
dence
The United States wants to give to the
people of Cuba perfect form of govern
ment," said the Secretary Of War. That
is the first thing to be done. do not know
that the people Of Cuba want to be an.
nexed to the United States. and l do not
know that the people of this country want
to have Cuba. proposition for annexa-
ton must certainly come from the people
Of Cuba 1t cannot come until Cuba has
its own form of government, and then 1t IS
to be determined whether or not the
United States wants Cuba. That is a ques-
ton to be determined by the people Of the
United States should a proposition come
from Cuba a,,.
Meanwhile the United States is going
ahead and carry out the promises made 10
Cuba at the close of the war with Spain.
Every one of these promises will be full
filled TO the letter. Cuba will be given
absolute independence. with good stable
government. In arranging for a constitu-
tional convention General Wood and l will
talk about the districts to be made in
Cuba for the election. We will discuss the
time for holding the election. what num-
Der of delegates should nstitute the con-
vention. and the apportiOnment OF these
delegates among the districts or divisions.
All these preliminaries are to be arranged.
III the constitutional convention. shoud
declare for annexation to the United States
that would not mean that annexation would
follow. do not know that We want Cuba
at all. and the adoption of such declara-
ticn would probably have to be ratified by
the popular vote of the people Of Cuba be-
fore 1t could be considered at all. l do not
believe, though. from what l saw in Ha.
vana and heard from the off1cia.s there
that Cuba wants any hing but indepe::-
Gence. / told the people there when l was
in Havana that the United States did not
want to annex Cuba, but we proposed II
fulfill all our promises to the Cuban peo-
pic of providing form Of self-government
for them. Then il they wanted to talk
annexation that will be another matter"

TROOPS FOR THE PHILIPPINES
Plans for Maintaining n Force of
10000 In the Islands.

Plans now under consideration by the
Secretary of War contemplate keeping
military force of 10000 soldiers in the
Philippines for some time after tho with
drawal OF the volunteer troops that will
have to be mustered out Of the service
by the LIST of July. 1901 1t is estimated
that it will require this number of men
to properly police the Philippines. rs
there is no intention of relinquishing the
control CT any part of the islands. Cen
eral Macarthur has frequently recon-
mended the holding OF all island garrisons
and persistent policing OF the territory
occupied.
The plans for keeping force OF 10000
men in the Philippines after the return
OF the volunteers also contemplate the
mounting Of number of infantry regi-
ments. General Macarthur has asked for
more cavalry. but this the War Depart
ment is unable to give him and arrange
ments have been made TO provide him
two infantry regiments
Orders have already been issued for the
shipment of $500 cavalry horses to Manila
to be distributed to the cavalry regiments
and to be used in mounting infantry. Col

establishment Of complete animal trans

THE VACATION AT CANTON.
Probable That the President Will
PrOlcnE HIS Stay Indefinitely.


ProlonE His Stay Indefinitely.
CANTON. O.. July 13.-President and
Mrs. Mckinley are so well satisfied with
their vacation in Canton that they are
giving 10 thought to a change. Except
that the President, and possibly Mrs. Nc
Kinley, will go to Chicago next month to
attend the G. A. r. National Encampment,
absolutely nothing is planned for the fu-
ture. The President, Mrs. Mckinley. Mrs.
Day. wife OF the former Secretary of
State. and Mrs. Dawes. wife of the Comp
troller of the Currency, took long ride
behind the Presidents team out in the
country this morning.
Secretary Cortelyou. DR.. Rixey. and
Col. Webb Hayes took the Presidents
other rig for their morning airing, but
over a different road and the parties saw
nothing Of each other.
AS to official business there is no indi-
cation that it will necessitate an early re-
turn to Washington, not because Of lack
Of it or of neglect or postponement OF it.
but because it can be transacted here with
practically the same facility as though the
President was In the executive Office in
Washington. He is kept in close touch
with every affair Of state by nail. by tel
egraph. and by long distance telephone.
There were no political visitors to-day.
Col. Webb C. Hayes. of Cleveland, a warm
personal friend of the family is a guest
at the Mckinley home for few days.

nation" and one OF the most trenchant
observations in II is this:

1T is curious how invariably Slavonic achieve
! ments have come as surprise to the world FOR
years. even for centuries, Russia pursues her way
| by parallel routes to many goals. unheard and
out of sight. The world, unsuspiciouS and incii-
ferent, at most vaguely supposes that Russia Is
busy n something in Central Asia or 1ntiig-
uing again toward the East; until the day when,
after the accomplished fact, she energies, smiling
bencyoicntly at the worlds simplicity on the
| frontiers Ct Aghanistan, and the shores OF the
| Pacific. with Hcrat and Tcheran. Port Arthur
| and Pekin alike in the hollow of her hand.
1t is, obviously. important that with
| the growing Importance of the United
States as a world power. and system OF
government which rests upon the de-
| clared will of the people. the American
public should know enough about the
movements and intentions of this big
| Slav-Tartar nation, not to be taken by
surprise at any action which may Affect
| American interests.
| The general ignorance of Russian affairs
| in this country, and in England. for that
| matter. is due to several natural causes.
One is the difference of language which
| furnishes an almost impossible barrier to
! the interchange of thought. Russian htera-
| ture is only beginning to be familiar to
! the Western world, and through transia-
tions at that Russian government is
vaguely thought of as ''despOtic" and there
| is an idea that the Car is absolute ruler
| when. as a matter of fact, his power Is
| practically limited so that his famous
peace proclamation was hardly more than
empty words without knowledge OF
countrys literature. in these days oil
books and newspapers, there can be COM
pcTatiyely little knowledge of its character
except through personal contact resulting
from immigration. and the Russians have
not migrated anywhere in great numbers,
except into Siberia. The peculiar internal
customs of Russia have also prevented
American travellers from visiting its
cities in any such swarms as have over
run London and Paris.
Moreover, Russia seldom gives any
notice OF what she is about to do. The
construction of her government farors
this Her diplomats are among the wisest
in the world, and her ministers have
power as nearly autocratic, in certain direc-
ticns. as anything can be. Given small
body Of intelligent men. united In pur-
pose, who control vast population loyal
as orientals are loyal to tradition, but
not particularly concerned with the gen.
eral form of government, and it is easy
to make great changes and advances in
absolute silence so far as the outer world
is concerned. So ii comes about that the
rest of the world seldom knows just what
Russia intends to do till she has done it.
VIII the character of the Russian peo-
pie change with the access to the sea
which will develop commerce and let in
new ideas? Is the Slav more European or
more Asiatic? Who can tell? And yet the
future of the whole civilized world may
depend on the answer to those two ques-
tons They are certainly worth consid-
Grafton.

NOT AN ADVOCATE OF VIOLENCE
Death of John II. Ei]elmnn. Promi-
nent ny nm Anarchist

NEW YORK, July 13.-John II. EdelT Al,
the Anarchist. who died suddenly yester-
day while waking to the elevator at i42
Fifth Avenue, was regarded as the leadiGg
Anarchist in the United States of the type
which does not advocate violence. He was
forty-eight years old and was born al
Cleveland, Ohio. He was an architect CT
prominence. and designed the Auditorium
Building in Chicago. He also supe in end
ed the interior decoration OF the Hotel Ma
jestic in this city. and at the time o. his
death had charge OF the erection of VIE n
A. Clark's marsion on Fifth Avenue and
Sixty-seventh Street.
His first connection with the labor move
ment was during the Henry George cam
paign in 1886. He became an entausi stic
single taxer and warm friend OF DR.. Nc
-Giynn. Later he joined the Socialist Labor
party. but left it after few years and te-
came an Anarchist. For some time he was
the editor OF Solidarity, an organ of the
Erg.ish-sp speaking Anarchists. He was a
close friend OF the late William Morris and
of Prince Peter Krapotkin, the Russian
communist
