PHOENIX, ARIZONA. APRIL ?, 1902.
Thomas Estrada Palma. the new and

the first president of the Cuban
 republic, is one Cuban THE NEW who is firmly convinced REPUBLIC. of the good faith of the
 United States. He is a man who appreciates to the utmost what this country has done for Cuba and he no doubt realizes that the task he is soon to assume is one of grave importance. The duties he is to take up are sufficient to impress him with the necessity of starting right. That he has the proper conception of the un- selfish work done by the United States is revealed in his statement made last week in Washington. after the details of the evacuation of the island by the American forces were completed. He said:
 The government of the United States has shown most beautiful example Of good faith in dealing with weak gov errment which it undertook to rescue from it's oppressors. It has demon- strated it's generosity and patriotism. and by the shedding of its own blood has helped Cuba to break the chain which united it with Spain- Some countries would have sought some pre- text for selfish gain in undertaking work of this character, and taken ad- vantage of some technicality for their own aggrandizement, but the contrary spirit has been manifested by the United States, and it has given to the world an evidence of goodwill seldom found. The people of the United States have remembered their own Declara- ton of Independence, and have full filled a duty to mankind
 If President Palma is given the proper support by his own people. and if they decide to unite for the purpose of Strengthening his hands. and in seeking to make the Cuban republic what it ought to be. there will be no doubt of the result. If. on the other hand, the island is to be rent by fac toinal bitterness, and if there are to be schemes of political character. the fate of the republic will be disastrous. .Self-government is a lofty ideal for any people, but self government can not be made success if the people
 
 set about to quarrel among themselves. Cuba is to begin it's new career under circumstances that will make it a se- Tious task for those who are entrusted with the direction of it's affairs. The island has not yet recovered from the misgovernment of Spain and the de- vastation wrought by years of civil war, and followed later by a brief war against Spain by the United States. The people are not wealthy, and there is yet much of rebuilding to be done. There must be raised certain amount of revenues to meet current expenses, and there must be a provision for the continuance of the improvements inau- gurated by the United States. There must be a strict attention paid to san itary and educational matters and there must be a determination to en- tighten the masses of the people and to rid them of the Spanish ideas with which they are deeply imbued.
 President Palma was the best ma n possible to select for the first executive officer, but President Palma alone can not work out the future of the island to a satisfactory end. The republic of Cuba is to be an experiment, and one est by the entire world.

One of the absurd arguments now ad- vanced for the repeal of the Chinese exclusion act is that China would not make display at the St. Louis fair if the measure should be re-enacted. St. Louis could find in this country enough play, and that would be better than having the country overrun with Chinamen.

that il will affect many Of the railroads for

have been increasing tremendously in recent

be liable to occur, especially when

work of securing options for the
right-of- way Of the new branch line

distance of about twenty-five miles.
Contractors are now going over the
route with the view Of subm ittng
bids on the work, and it is expected
that the grading will be commenced
by the first of November. The road
will prove valuable feeder for the

belt will be opened along the route.
