TEE MANNER in which Cuba is being
humbugged by the United States De-
comes more glsriDg every day, ana
~tle aspect OF sffaire since the election
on that island make the parody more
pronounced. 1t is now proclaimed by
this country that 1t will proceed
slowly" in Cuba-signi6csnt words
and that 1t will be some time before
tina United States flag is lowered.
Every act of the Cubans lie to be closely
scrutinized by this government, soo
"although Governor General Wood,
when reports OF the elections are H.
will announce the date for the formal
transfer OF the island, there will be no
haste in executing the order" 10 iact'
nothing will be done toward oonsum"
mating the transfer until this govern
ment is thoroughly satisfied that the
Cuban regime can be safely Entrusted
with power. In order to arrive at ali
this 1t will be necessary to see that all
the provisions of the Plstt amendment
are carried out, and this alone will
take wears. In the meantime "Presi-
dent~ Pslma will find himself in the
position OF q former well-known Vir'
gilman who had been elected Con-
gresham. at-Large, but before Con-
Qress could decide that this State was
entitled to such q representative the
term for which be was elected expired.
1t is thus apparent that If Senior Palma
has apy more important business 10
New York to occupy bis mind be will
have ample time to transact it before
Governor General Wood steps down
and>out. In the face OF these facts 1t
Is no wonder that many who have
ell their property interests In Cuba
desire that an end be put to such dilly-
dallying, and are endeavorlng to rec
oncile themselves to the necessity
not the desire-of putting the Island 10
control OF the United States, and thus
bring to q standstill the seethiDg polit-
ical pot which they believe will
always keep Cuba In ferment. This
country is playing lite part well, know
ing that such h contamination is newt
able and that it Is merely q matter Of
time when Cuba will be part OF the
TInifad States.
