CUBA NEEDS AID AT ONCE.
Suggestion Made that the United
States Guarantee a Bond Issue.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The Cuban Amer
ican League has issued a statement con-
corning the Cuban loan, which states if
the planters are to be aided the Cuban
soldiers paid and the Cuban bonds honored,
the help must come Immediately, in order
that Cuba may command future credit.
The loan required -s35, ,OooO OoO-it is said was
not too large. Before the war Spain sold
bonds based on her Cuban revenues for
5000, 900 000, from which liability the United
States relieved Cuba. The league suggests
that Cuba authorize her banks to circulate
a national currency based on their hold
ings of Cuban national bonds, which bonds
the United States should guarantee. These
bonds should be issued so that If Cuba ever
became part of this country they would
become solely United. States debt.

rumors OF a similar action by the manufac-

reached at a secret joint conference in

THE PRESIDENTS ORATORY.
HIS SPEECH AT PROVIDENCE LIKELY TO BE
A PARTY DOCUMENT.
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Washington Aug 24-Among all classes Of
the acknowledged judges of such things IN
Washington there is a marked unanimity OF
opinion concerning the speeches thus far made
By the President on his New-Er gland tour. ana
that is that they are helpful both 10 hirnselt
and his party. Mr.. Roosevelt has never ranked
high in the estimation OF Washington-where
he has been known so We'll for many years-as
an orator. That is to say. he has not been re-
garded here as either a spellbinder or sky
scraper' He has always been considered
forceful speaker. but not one calculated 10
arouse people by sheer rhetoric and eloquence
AS a writer of terse English and user OF
strong and wholesome American ideas of govern
ment and character he impressed himself upon
Washington powerfully long before he was even
seriously considered Presidential possibility
but few Of his greatest admirers had ever at
tributed to him the qualities OF Oratory he is
now displaying. However, his speech at Provi-
deIce yesterday on the trust question shows
from the Washington viewpoint that the Presi
dent is now one Of the most forcible speakers
In the country. While everyDo here knew
what his position that question. few even
OF his most intimate friends thought him capa
bic of giving II such lucid and convincing ex-
preston from the stump. 1t had been generally
supposed that, conscious Of what they consid-
cred his inability clearly to set forth his views
In 4 pleasing and captivating manner to a large
and miscellaneous crowd, he would merely touch
on the trust and all other questions pressing for
attention his tours Of the country this year
and that he would reserve a fuller expression OH
them for his next annual message to Congress,
as heretofore he has been more facic with his
pen than with his tongue and voice
Now that ne has spoken in such clear and
eloquent terms. his admirers arc more numerous
than ever before. To the persons who have
been critical Of him q public speaker his
effort at Providence yesterday comes IS dis
tinct revelation Of his versatility. Unquestion-
ably that speech will be the keynote for Rerub-
ncan stump speakers from this time until the
close Of the Congress campaign.
view Of the fact that the compilers and editors
Of the Republican textbook, recently issued by
the Congress Campaign Committee. failed,
through unaccountabl oversight or other rea-
sons which cannot be charitably character
lied. to deal with the trust question in that
important volume in the spirit with which the
President and his advisers Insist upon. On the
contrary SO vague and unsatisfactory does the
textbook handle the trust question that this is
the only point upon which the Democratic man
ayers thus far have been able to hang issue
in the campaign in this strange oversight. AS
an evidence of the high value placed upon
President Roosevelt's Providence speech, IL need
only be stated that already there is demand
from all parts of the country for IL TO be printed
in pamphlet form and distributed by the million
