CUBAN PLANTERS
 FOR ANNEXATION
At Meeting of Society Many
 Declare Themselves

They Look to the United States for Financial Support and Believe An- nexatlon Will Ultimately ResIt.
 Lacoste Made President.

Havana, July SO.-At a meeting of the Society of Cuban planters held here to- day, the executive committee proposed programme which was subsequently adopted.
 The first clause of the programme is to the effect that the society declares it. self to be exclusively an economic body. member of the executive committee ex- plained that although the society had never been anything else certain news- papets and people had raised storm against 1t on account of the rumors that the society intended to change it's plan enemies of the present Cuban regime they would stop work on their estates and would thus show what they could do. Replying to the speaker. one of the plan ters present complained that the society was not sufficiently represented in the press and that it had no means of put ting before the people what it considered best for the country.
 Other articles of the programme sup port the plan of Emilio Terry, secre- tary of agriculture to raise a loan of $4000, 600 to assist Cuban planters and the sum of mortgage banks. The pro- gramme also sets forth that the society considers necessary the payment of the Cuban army.
 Regarding the rumors that the society intended to declare for annexation, these were said to be due to some members who favored the step, but who did not appear at the meeting to support it. In the course of 8 speech, che prominent planter said:
 We are all annexationists. but the time for annexation has not yet arriv- ed"
 Perfecto Lacoste, formerly secretary of agriculture, and at one time mayor of Havana, was elected president of the new executive committee. In a speech Senor Lacoste said he accepted this office 10 show that he was not afraid Of beiug burned out, as the Republica Cubana had declared the Cubans would burn the is- land rather than accept annexation He said the plar tcrs could not dare to declare in favor of annexation, even there were great number of annex au onlsts in the Island.
 other speakers said t''lt if tie economic situation cf Cuba became w,.ss and ttc working people were made te feel the pinch. then would be the time to declare far sana, ation. Still other spea6ers said they looked 10 the United Statns to do everything in the matter of ultimate an- nexation. About twenty-five planters af> tended the meeting.
