THREE JUST DEMANDS

THE flag must never be hauled
down in Cuba" said a caller at the
White House to President Mckinley.
Indeed it must" replied the president.
"Just as soon as the Cubans are ready
20 attend to their own affairs we must
turn their government over TO them. "
There spoke the man who keeps his
word to the people.
But three demands are made by this
country on the Cuban Constitutional
Convention. They are:
First. Recognition Of the right Of
the United States to military control
OF the island until a. native govern
ment shall have been formed which is
satisfactory to this country.
Second. Admission Of the right Of
the United States TO intervene at any
time after such government shall have
been formed to prevent the passing Of
the island into the possession or domi-
nation OF any foreign power.
Third. Grants OF at least three coal
ing stations and necessary lands there
for-one at Havana, one at Cienfuegos
and one at Santiago.
Their reasonableness is recognized
Everywhere, and the Cubans will de-
rive more benefit from them than the
United States. A native government
which will be satisfactory to this
country will be a good government
Our right TO intervene to prevent the
passing Of the island into the possess
sion or domination of any foreign
power is a guaranteed Of the perpetuity
OF the Cuban republic. The right TO
have three coaling stations on the is
land is the only reward the United
States asks for relieving the Cubans
from the yoke Of the Spaniards.
