FEARS OF SENIOR PALMA
CUBAN PATRIOT THINKS HIS PEOPLE
ARE NOT HARMONIOUS.
Few Good Men. He Says, VIII Accept
the Presidency, Unless He Is
Promised Support.

HAVANA, Aug. S.-Senor Estrada Palma,
in a long letter to Senior Figueredo, which
is published here to-day. makes the follow
ing statement:
II told General Gomez that a man like
myself, of independent character and with
out pretensions, except for the moral good
of the country. would not have courage
enough 10 be candidate foi the presidency
of Cuba, because the state of feeling and
opinion in the island is ,disjonted and be-
cause poiiticel rerts>e there are based upon
local affinities and political issues and not
upon principles.
Moreover, it is to be supposed that the
future President will have to plan the gov
ernment, and, if he is to carry his pro-
gramme into effect, he will need the sup
port of both houses of the Legislature But
the state of opinion in both houses is like
ly to be more disjointed even than the
opinions of the so-called political parties.
AS important matters will have to be dealt
with by the first government of Cuba. such
as treaties, the relations with the United
States and the payment of the army. there
is likely 10 be a great deal of trouble and
disa agreement. If the President does not
have Congress behind him he will fail ut
terly.
Then also the Constitution is calculated
to prevent unity of action, because the gov
ernors of provinces are to be elected by
popular vote and the secretaries will be re-
sponsibe as well the President. If,
therefore, the President does not count
upon a majority in both houses, 1T is not
likely that any honest patriot will care
to undertake the presidential office. Self
abnegation and the most devoted patriot
ism cannot be expected TO make him aban-
don his own dignity.
Senior Palma says that steps should be
taken to unity efforts and opinion in Cuba.
and to obtain a basis of agreement as TO
a presidential candidate, so that, if elected.
ne may have some chance of successful
administration.
A Cuban artillery corps is to be formed.
1t will consist of $50 white Cubans, and will
be recruited under the same conditions as
TO qualification that obtain i'm the United
States 90 far as these will apply. The
corps will be trained and disciplined by an
American officer. and will be stationed at
Cabanas The men will be taught to ham
die and take care of artillery and will be
prepared 10 take charge OF the guns there
when the Americans leave. They Will be
enlisted for two years. First Lieutenant
Dwight E. Autman, of the Second United
States Artillery. will have charge of the re-
cruiting and training.
