Administration Leaders Don't Like
TO Give up Cuba.

A recent Washington dispatch TO the
Little Rock Democrat says:
AS the time approaches when congress
will act on the Cuban constitution, the
administration leaders are making
wryer faces over the task. They hate
to give up what the United States has
taken, all pledges and treaties to the
contrary notwithstanding They have
the taste Of territorial acquisition IN
their mouths and Hnd II so sweet that
they long for some way to get out of
their obligations,
But there doesn : seem to be any such
means, The United States Ia bound
hard and fast by Tia pledges, On tho
Goth Of April, 1903, on the eve Of the
war with Spain congress passed n
resolution to the effect that 1.-THE people
Of Cuba are, and Of right ought TO be /,
free and independent, - II Is thought
by many senators that this Ia Ia itself
sufficient TO stop congress from interior.

except for the pacification thereof. an
asserts its determination, when that II
accomplished, to leave the governlnen
and control of the island to its people,
This being the case, the question is
raised ny to whether the United States
has any right to deal with the Cuban
constitution ut all. 1t is held by many
of the most prominent senators that the
disclaimer above effectively prevents
the United States from even considering
1t. These senators argue that the
paciication of the island has been fully
accomplished and that the Cubans
would have the right TO resent any
interference on the part of the United
States with their constitution.
1t is freely admitted that the Cubans
have shown themselves inconsiderate,
to say the least, of the aid given them
by the United States in framing con
stituton that utterly ignores the exist
ence of this country. Many Republic
ans 90 so far as to say that gratitude
demanded that the Cubans should sub
NIT themselves to what is a protectorate
In all but the name, granting naval and
military stations to the United States,
and granting it authority to supervise
the foreign relations and debt-incurring
powers of the new government At
recent cabinet meetings there has been
wide emergency Of views rs to what
ought to be done. But everybody agreed
that If mistakes of being too complaisant
were made at the oltset the United
States wonld in the future be in constant
danger of being dragged into war with
foreign powers through Cuba.
In any event, many Republicans are
very anxious to put off II decision until
next fall at least, in the hope that
something may turn mp by that time
that will enable them to avoid surren-
dering the island, One Of the leading
Republicans of the committee on r5la
tions with Cuba who is probably more
familiar with the subject than any other
member of the senate said today thar he
questioned the wisdom of the president
in proposing to transmit to congress the
new Cuban constitution as soon as
received.
There IL not one word in that con
stitution, remarked the senator in
question with considerable feeling, Ito
indicate that the United States has
befriended those people at great sacri-
flee Of life and treasure If the president
consults the best interests Of this country
and il guided by the prevailing senti-
ment in congress he will decline to
receive their constitution until it con
tains certain provisions which will
specifically recognize the part this gov
eminent has played in securing indie.
pendence for them. -
In effect, what the president is being
advised to do is to lock up the copy of
the Cuban constitution when 1t reaches
here and intimate to the Cubans that
they cannot have an independent gov.
eminent until they manifest u disposi
ton to protect the interests Of the
United States IN their constitution.
That Is to say, he Is asked to coerce the
Cubans indirectly.

Mr. Jones dramas, "Mrs Danes De-

sex problem.
Mrs. Dane, when she was mere
child. was induced to elope by a scoun'
drel who afterward deserted her In Vi
emma, whence she returned 10 Htue

was born. This, so far as IS shown IN
the play, Is the only blot upon Mrs
Danes character, She apparently
leads an exemplary life and eventually
meets and falls desperately and genu-
lnely in love with Lionel Carteret the
adopted son Of Sir Daniel Carteret an
eminent Judge.
Sir Daniel In his early days had been
very much IN love with the mother OF
Lionel-in fact. an elopement had been
planned. and the illness OF the boy
alone prevented the woman from carry
Ing out her part OF the programme. Sir
Daniel then returned 10 London met
the woman, and they agreed that their
love was hopeless and they should
strive to forget II. That Sir Daniel
never does forget Il is made manifest
by the fact that when the woman dies
he adopts her son Lionel the boy who
later falls IN love with Mrs. Dane
Sir Daniel when he learns OF the iu-
iatuatlon OF the boy for a woman great
