CUBA,s GRAyEsr PRoaI,EM.

In considering the future politically
and economically of the island of Cuba
enough has been made plain to satisfy
even the superficial students. of the stu
alton that the political problem Is not
all with the Cubans. The commercial
and industrial future of the island is
really the great consideration, and al
ready those who are charged with the
responsibility Of laying the foundations
Of the new state are showing that the
matter of Cuba's finances is, after all,
the one which involves the great prob
lens that remain to be solved.
The island has great Internal resources.
They are undeveloped. The industries of
the people are in the most primitive
condition. Coffee and sugar are the great
staple products The securing of an avail
able market for these two productions
involves more which really affects the
prosperity of the island than any ques-
ton Of a purely political character.
The establishment of an army and navy
and of diplomatic service will be among
the first of the great national undertake
ings after the constitution has been
adopted. The means to support these in
stitutIons must be forthcoming, and the
necessity will at once present itself on
the part of the young republic to incur
national Indebtedness, great or small,
as the occasion seems to demand In or
der to do this the sources of revenue
of the new government must be ap-
parent and the ability to enforce pay
ment Of government dues on the part
of the existing administration must be
placed beyond question
No sooner will the constitutional con-
vention indicate its readiness to accept
the substance of the Plat amendment
and its requirements than it will become
apparent that that is really the least of
the difticnlties in the path of the new

announced that France had joined in a

against the portes postal measu1 es.
NJ. Delcasse also announced that the
government will recall the French expe-
dictionary corps i'm China so soon as the
last clauses of the collective note are
carried out and after the settlement of
the indemnities. Two thousand troops
have alreadyI8beea repatriated.

NAVAL BOARD RECONrarENDs FA-
VORING ADOPTION OF WIRE
LESS TELEGRAPHY
NO ONE SYSTEM IS FAVORED
Board Thinks Officers and Men
Should Receive Thorough Train
ing in the New Method of
Communication.

WASHINGTON. May 14-AdmiraI
Bradford, chief Of the naval bureau OF
equipment, today gave out the following
extract from the report OF the board.
which has investigated the question OF
transmitting messages by wireless teleg-
raphy:
From the examination of the subject
as outlined in the orders of the depart
ment. the board makes the following rec
concentrations:
81. That the use of homing pigeons be
discontinued as soon as wireless teleg-
raphy Is introduced into the navy.
''2. That pending such acton no new
pigeon coteS be established
SO. That wireless telegraphy be adopt
ed by the navy for transmission OF mes
sages between distant points.
20. Referring to the last Recommended
tion the board is Of the opinion that
high degree of special electrical training
is demanded for the successful operation
Of any system of wireless biography, and
1t. therefore, suggests as necessary the
establishment of two stations sufficiently
far removed from each other for the
training of officers and men. In its opin-
ion this requirement would be best met
by the establishment of such stations at
naval academy Annapolis. If wireless
telegraphy fulfills what now seem to be
it's possibilities, the cadets should be
thoroughly trained in 1t.
1.-The selection Of any special system
of wireless telegraphy is in the opinion of
the board very largely a matter Of bus
ness detail.
IF, for any reason, any competitive
test of different systems is thought de-
sirable, the board recommends. in view
Of the fact that the improved Marconi
apparatus will not be available for sew
eral months, and that improvements in
any other systems may occur in that in
terval, that it be made only after due
notice and preparation therefor and by
a special board Of experts appointed for
the purpose"

tional industries, a rational system

tional industries, a rational system OF
aid ON the part of the government which
will enable the people who are heavily
burdened with debts as the result Of the
political conditions of tho past to pro-
vide for their future payment, and in
ducements to foreign capital to seek in
vestment on the island are the prime
and the most urgent requirements of the
Cuban people.
A great deal may be done by securing
a commercial treaty with the United
States which will remove the most bur-
densome of the difficulties in the way of
finding access to the American market for
Cuban sugar and tobacco. What the Gu
bans may be able to do in that behalf re-
mains to be seen. The policy thus far
identified with the delegates to the Cuban
convention toward the United States GER
tainly has not been such as to promote
Cuban interests in this direction.
Do we need the island Of Cuba? Do
we need her chief products to an extent
which makes it desirable that we should
give these products free, or measurably
free. access. to our markets Upon the
answers to those two questions must de-
pend in great measure the future in
store for the Cuban people. There. is no
doubt that If we will remove our traffic
through the establishments Of re-
ciprocity treaty, the industries Of Cuba
will secure renewed life. The need of
annexation as a protective measure on
the part of Cuba will be materially les
sened thereby, if not wholly removed
The revenues Of Cuba as the result Of
such action will be placed on an assured
basis of safety. If we do not, Cuba will
look elsewhere; and certainly there is no
market which in it's advantages can be-
gin to compare with that which the
United States offers to her.
Whatever be the outcome Immediately
or in the near future of the financial
problem which is looming up in Cuba,
it is well for the Cuban people to realize
as early as possible that the future Of
their country as a free and prosperous
nation must depend in greatest measure
on the mutual disposition and policy Of
the United States and Cuba toward each
other.
