such Il straitened position that no
very big assistance can be expected
from them. Since more than several
months now the famine has been be-

some villages they are eating human

"All our brothers in the world should

The man now most prominently
mentioned for the first president or
cuba, Tomas Estrada Palma, under
date of Nov. Il. 1895, received from
this so-called provisional government
which assumed TO represent the as yet
unrealized republic of cuba power Of

powers herein conferred. Requests for
an accounting have been presented to
him, but he has waived them aside.
So far as we know, Mir. Palma is an
honest man. Yet before he can accent
the presidency of Cuba with good
grace he must put on record the de-
tailed story of his stewardship. This
is not matter of concern to Cubans
exclusively. Under the Plat amend
ment the United States has Il legal as
well as a moral right to sec that Cuba
shall begin her independent statehood
unhampered by blanket mortgages
upon her future revenues. IT is up TO
Mr.. Palma to explain.
