terest than hitherto In what happens
throughout the West Indies, Cen
tral America and adjacent coasts
and waters. We expect Cuba
to treat us o an excep-
tional footing practically, and we
should put her. in the same exceptional
position economically. The proposed
action IL In line with the course we
have pursued as regards all islands
with which we have been brought into
relations Of varying intimacy by the
Spanish war. Porto Rico and Hawaii
have been included within u tarfff
lines, to their great benefit as well as
ours. and without any OF the feared
detriment to our W interests, n
Philippines, which stand in a different
relation. have been granted substantial
tariff concessions. Cuba is an inde-
pendent republic, but a republic which
has assumed certain special obligations
as regards her international position.
In compliance, ! ask for her certain
special economic concessions In return.
These economic concessions will bene-
fit us as well as her.

of policy which Is essential for our ma
ton to establish in foreign affairs If
we desire to play well our part as a
world power. We are a wealthy and
powerful nation: Cuba is a young re-
public, still weak, who owes to us her
birth, whose whole future, whose very
life, must depend on IA attitude
towards her. / ask h a we help her
as she struggles upward along the
painful and difficult road OF self row
ernment and independence. l ask this
aid for her, because she Is weak, be-
cause she needs II, because we have
already aided her. / ask that open
handed help, of a kind which self-re-
speeding people can accept, be given
Cuba for the very reason that we have
given her such help in the
past. Out soldiers fought to
give her freedom, n for
three years cur representatives, civil
and military, have toiled increasingly,
facing disease Of a peculiarly sinister
and fatal type with patience n UNI
complaining fortitude. 10 teach her how
to rule Alright her new freedom. Never
in history has any alien country been
thus administered, with such high
integrity OF purpose, such wise
judgment. and such q single
handed devotion to the country's interest.
Now, I ask that the Cubans be given all
possible chance to use to the best possible
advantage the freedom OF which Kmeri-
cans have such a right TO be proud, and
for which so many Americans lives have
been sacrificed.

T WOOD NOW.
An Inquiry CertsIn Regarding the
Expenditures In Cuba.

washington, June Halloween opin-
ions may differ regarding the effect
the disclosure before the Cuban relations
committee will have on the Cuban reel
procity bill there is but one opinion re-
garding the sugar trusts policy. 1t has
made stupendous blunders from which Il
cannot escape. General Wood has also
placed himself and his friends In an en-
barrassing position. Even before 1t was
known that he had used Cuban funds TO
conduct a political propaganda he had
been severely criticised for some OF his
expenditures. On account OF the dell
cate task he had to perform In Cuba II
was necessary to give General Wood the
widest possible latitude. The Cubans
were accustomed TO the grandeur OF
Spanish official life. Large sums or
money were placed at General Woods
disposal and the government or inc
United States relied upon his discretion
In the expenditure. Some OF the iteE!5
of expenses nave already been printed in
u%nfriendly newspapers. They were I'M
usual, but so were the conditions.
Politicians whose sole purpose Is to en-
barrass the administration will insist upon
dragging every item in General Woods
expense account before the public. why
did he do this, or that or the other thingE
These questions the country Is in for with
one Of these tiresome and long-drawn post
mOrtemS when must always lOllOW SNSly
important government effort. Senator Gull
b~erson's resolution calling for an itemized
statement OF the expenditures In Cuba
probably will be followed by an effort to
nave General Wood testify before the
same committee that handled the Thurber
disclosures. General Wood was costly.
About that there is no disputing. He was
also successful. Nobody will contradict
that statement. The potticians, however,
believe the penurious will overlook tho
success OF his work in thrashing over his
successes and enjoy reveling In petty scan
dal and specializing on how much Of per-
sonal profit and private entertainment
were included in bills the government
paid. These, co., are going to have an
inning If 1t is possible to force the war de-
partment TO give it's vouchers to the
public.
Government transports brought General
Wood and his personal belongings from
Cuba and the government has set him up
in a Washington establishment until he
I can complete his work. When 1t comes 10
investigating Wood he will be asked If he
| granted the exclusive carting privilege TO
his br~other-in-law, II. Condit Smith, and
prevented competition by executive orders.
He will be asked If III. Condit Smith got
the contract to repave the Prado in Ha-
| wanna n IL he had any interest In thar
| contract. He will be asked IL he urged
the appointment of his brother-in-law,
| Herbert G.. Squiers, for minister to Cuba
from the United States, in order that his
| own interests might be better protected.
Senator Teller says he has more ammu-
hilton that he will fire at the proper time.

Lord Mayor and London Corporation
Address the King.

London, June liking Edward held
a special court at Buckingham palace
today for receiving addresses from the
lord mayor and corporation Of the city
congratulating his majesty on the res
storation of peace. The king took oc-
casion to express his sentiments on the
subject more fully than heretofore, and
the tactful recognition which he made
OF the sterling qualities OF the Beers

peasement In South Africa. The king

Labor troubles cloud the immediate
outlook, but good crop prospects fairly

longer localized. 1t affects d~istributive
trade in a wider area and higher prices

facturers generally throughout the
east. Crop prospects are not. OF

that. Confidence I'm fall trade seems to
be growing. Export business, notably
In manufactured goods, Is certainly Inn
proving. Cereals, provisions and raw
cotton shipments In May were, how
ever, smaller than a year ago. The rail-
traffic outlook Is apparently OF the
best. The cruder forms of iron and
steel are apparently in undiminished
demand; some lines OF trade hereto
fore depressed. notably boots and shoes
and wooden goods, are displaying a
better tendency.
Farm products strengthened slightly
In price this week. Sugar reflected the
active demand OF the past two weeks
for canning purposes In a fractional
advance. The peach crop outlook is
certainly a good one. Coffee struck
what Is practically the lowest price
record this year. Labor troubles at the
beginning Oh June rcuuCeu the Dlb lIob

as a whole Is for a heavy production

strike.
