Missouri is quoted by the Washington
correspondent Of the Tribune as saving
of the cuban situation:

both by the Teller resolution and the
decision Of the supreme court in the
Medley case. declaring Cuba to be
foreign country.
But when the Cubans adopt their
constitution ana form their govern
ment. We are solemnly pledged to give
them absolute and complete independ-

to the Cubans We must then become
the protectors Of their country. con

ed States. For years ! have been con-
WINGED that this is the ultimate destiny

ferson made nearly 100 years ago. that
we need Cuba to round out our terri
