CUBAN CONDITIONS.

The lot Of President Palma. Of
Cuba. is not 81 happy one. Present
conditions are well calculated tomake
him wish some one else held the
honor that has been conferred upon
him. And the prospect Is fan even
worse. Just now he has 90 wrestle
with grave financial aud race dihi-
c%uiiies. the treasury is empty. with
no disccrnable means of replonishinr
IL, and 1t Is stated that az least 40
per cent Of the laborers ON the Cuban
plantations are cut OF employment
Mr. Charles NJ. Pepper. a most OBJ
servant correspondent. who a few
days since returned from a tour ofthe
island, which he made in the interest
OF the st. louis Exposition, declares
that "tho situation in Cuba. from 81
business standpoint. is worse than
that which existed la this country ia
1894; crops cannot be marketed
imports have been cut down 10 the
lowest minimum, and manufacturers
are curtaillng operations from day 70
day"
All this threatens serious internal
disorder in the near future, and In
the event Of any outbreak. President
Palma would be powerless to cope
with It.
IL Is an open secret that neither
Palma himself nor the manner of his
election is in favor with the classes
from whom trouble is 90 be feared.
and should there be an uprising the
government could no longer command
the good Offices and assistance of
a General Wood.
What then? The answer is not
Tar to seek when we remember that
there Is still a large element in this
country who claim that the Cubans
are incapable Of self-goverument, and
that n Of their most influential
spokesman recently declared that he
believed that an annexation move
ment on the island could be easily
populsuzed.-Richmond Times.
