CUBA'S ANNEXATION
CERTAIN TO CONE
Favored by the Best Natives of
the Island.
GOOD CLASS OF PEOPLE
THEY DESIRE TO GOVERN THEM
SELVES FOR AWHILE.

New York, March 26.-Representa-
tive Henry A Cooper of Wisconsin,
the chairman of the insular affairs com
mittee of the house of representatives,
who has just returned from Cuba, be-
heves that the chief danger in the Gu
ban situation is the policy of deprecia-
ton of the islanders which has been
pursued in some newspapers, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Times. He considers this as account
ing for most of the misunderstanding
and ill-feeling.
I went everywhere and talked with
everybody 1 could find" said Mr.
Cooper, 'Spaniards and Cubans, men
and women. 1 found that the Spaniards
are anneXatiOnists. The Cubans are
almost unanimously in favor of indie
pendence, even those of them who be-
lieve that annexation is inevitable in
the long run. They want to try it for
a while anyway, because. as they said
to me, we want to show the world that
we are not thieves, bandits and cut
throats.
Il visited at the house of a Cuban
family. who were all educated in the
United States. They took three of the
New York papers and one Philadelphia
paper, and We're perfectly informed on
American matters. They showed me a
correction Of clippings from American
newspapers stigmatizing the CubanS as
a worthless lot and predicting anarchy
as result of independence. l asked
what their views were, and they re-
piled that they We're in favor of an
neXation and believed it was sure to
come ultimately, but they wanted at
least a term of independence, and we
want it. they said, just TO prove that
we are civilized human beings
I believe that the Plat amendment
will be accepted. The opposition to it
was as much to the way in which it
was presented to them as to what was
In it. Its Cuban opponents thought it
was presented some what as an ultima
tum and that it could better have been
arranged by a joint committee of Gu
bans and Americans meeting in Wash
ington. But l think it will be accepted
and 1 also think that annexation will
be the final outcome.
Many things have retarded it and
first on the list | would place the whole
sale, indiscriminate denunciation Of the
Cubans which has been so common in
the United States. / went about all
PARTS of Havana at all hours of the day
and night, and I never saw such an
orderly, peaceable city. 1t is one of
the cleanest cities in the world. Wash

IleVe you could gather up more dirt in
Washington than you could in
