All Political Factions
in Island.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-President-eleet
Tomas Estrada Palma Of the new Cuban
republic passed through here his evening
enroute to Cuba.
His FIRST important act as the president
OF tho new republic, he announced today,
will be the forming Of q cabinet and the
dispatch Of a message TO the Cuban con-
gress. He has already settled upon several
persons to whom he will tender cabinet
portfolios, but he refused to make his Sc
lections public. One appointment, be ad-
mitted. was practically decided upon, viz,
that OF GonLslo de Quesads, who repre-
sented the Cubsns here during the period
preceding the Spanish-American war, to be
Cuban minister to the United States.
The first message Of the head Of the re-
public to the Cuban congress will be SUBJ
mitted Immediately after be assumes once.
Its main features will be recommendation
along the following lines:
First-All possible measures calculated
TO unite the various political factions OF
Cuba 30 that all elements will work to-
gether in the interest Of the new govern
ment. Second, the development OF the
natural resources OF the country with re-
ciprocal tariff relations with the United
States. Third. the maintenance Of the most
friendly relations with the United States
government
Estrada Palma says that the United
States dollar would continue TO be the
standard in Cuba. but that the currency
and other questions were matters that re-
quired mature elaboration and need moi
be Immediately legislated upon.
He said he was hopeful Of securing a sub
~stantial reduction OF the tariff on sugar, to-
bseco and other Cuban products. The Gu
ban government would act entirely on q
reciprocal basis in making reductions on
United States products and whatever actor
was taken at Washington alone this line
would be followed 10 the same extent BY
the Havana government.
In esponse to a direct query, he sail
that the Cuban government would not es'
tsblish such reciprocal commercial rela.
lions with any other government than tina
of the United States.
The pr~esident-elect received official no
tice from Postmaster General Payne tina
the agreements reached between them in
