Life of the Republic.

How long will the Cuban republic
last?" This IS the question that many
are asking and which none can answer.
The Cuban doesn't know, and. further
more, he isn't bothering himself about
it. The whole thing has been arranged
and fixed up for him. ard he isn't going
to worry about crossing any bridges
until he gets to them. This compla-
cency is prompted by the belief that IL
he gets into a tight box the United
States Government will come again to
his rescue.

ceded our interference. and preceding
it. furnished those ragged soldiers such
valuable aid.
During his stay In this country SenoP
Quesada made his home at the Raleigh.
in this city. and became personally ac-
quainted with a large proportion Of
Washington. and almost identified with
the city.
So it is generally believed that Senor
Quesada's services to Cuba will be rec
ognized by appointment to the post Of
minister TO Washington. ,
Returning to Washington under such
an appointment, Senior Quesada would
find himself occupying much the same
post as he previously occupied. only his
position would be differently recognized.
and thereby made much less difficult
than formerly.
