 The Cubans have further agreed to sell or lease certain lands for coaling stations and to omit from the constitu- tional boundaries of Cuba the Isle of Pines the title of which is to be left to future adjustment by treaty.

Unless a greater reduc- ton in the Cuban tariff on sugar than 20 per cent is made a crisis may soon be reached in the islands affairs. The people are depending upon the United States giving them a market for their two principal crops. sugar and tobac- co. and they have every reason to ex- pect that this government will give them the relief

Even if l wished to surround myself with bodyguards and a regal following the country is too poor to support any such useless Ornamentation. l shall set the example of economy by man. aging affairs with the least assistance possible. There will be no paid army. The nearest approach to an army will be a volunteer system of village guards for local police duty or whatever they may be called upon to do. There will be no mercenary persons engaged in the work of reconstruction in Cuba Only patriots will be allowed to take part in that sacred task.
 Closely following the induction of the new government will be the ap- pointmc-t of a minister to represent it at Washington. AS soon as a rep resentatiye L-s been appointed from the United States to Cuba steps will be taken for the drafting of q treaty between the two governments embody- ing the features outlined in the Platt amendment This will include provi- sion for naval station. probably at Guantanamo. and the establishment of coaling stations at points mutually agreed upon.

 The United States has shown a most beautiful example of good faith in dealing with weak government which it undertook to rescue from its Oi'pressor.
