Free Government for Cuba.


We face at this moment a most impor-
tant Question-that of the future reIa-
tons of the United States and Cuba.
With our near neighbors we must remain
close friends. The declaration of the pur-
poses of this government in the resolu-
ton of April 20 $685. must be made
good. Ever since the evacuation of the
island by the army of Spain the execu-
tive with all practicable speed has been
assisting its people in the successive steps
necessary to the establishment of free
and Independent government, prepared to
assume and perform the obligations of in
ternational law which now rest upon the
United States under the treaty of Paris.
The convention elected by the people to
frame 4 constitution is approaching the
completion of its labors. The transfer of
American control to the new government
is of such great Importance, involving an
obligation resulting from our Intervention
and the treaty of peace, that [ am glad
to be advised by the recent act OF Con
gress of the policy which the legislative
branch Of the government deems essen
tial to the best interests OF Cuba and
the United States.

with it the guarantees of permanence.
Our acknowledgements of the people will
not be completed until free Cuba shall
be a reality, not ii name; perfect entity,
not a hasty experiment bearing within
itself the elements of failure.
Restoring Peace in Philippines.
