CORDIAL FEELING EXISTS
BETWEEN THE REPUBLICS
Nothing in the Reports CO Growing
Hostility in Cuba Toward
the United States.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--Genera
Emilio Munez, governor of the prov.
ince Of Havana, Cuba, is in Washing
ton for the purpose of rest and rel
cuperation and to obtain some relief
from throat trouble with which he has
been suffering the last three or four
months. In an interview he said:
With the blessing of unalterable
peace Cuba is daily regaining the pros
perity lost by the war and l have no
doubt that the republic will overcome
all the Obstacles and differences that
might oppose its consolidation. The
nublic sentiment in Cuba towards the
United States has not changed. Our
deep and sincere friendship toward this
country continues to exist and it can
not be otherwise, as there has been
no reason that could have caused a
change to come about in the relations
between Cuba and the United States,
established by the late war with
Spain. Moreover. President Roose-
velts generous and persistent CAM
paign for reciprocity has found an
echo in the hearts of our people, in
crtasing ii it were possible, the debt
of gratitude that we contracted with
the United States"
When asked regarding reports that
a feeling of hostility against the Unit
ed states is spreading in Cuba, he re-
piled:
"There is no more significance in
these reports than there is in the hos
tile feelings of this or any other po-
litical man, or one or two newspapers
here AGAINST Great Britain when in
reality the relations between that
country and the United States are those
and cordial. In fine, Cuba can never for
get what she owes to the United
States and am sure that the immense
majority of its people hope that our
friendly relations will daily grow clos
er although this does not mean that
tbara is any weakening in the sentl-
mant for Independence which drove us
to war and which is today the highest
ideal of our people"

gan. Vorwaerts, In page and "a half
today deals with what 1t calls the
"hypocracy OF idealizing Herr Krupp
as a benevolent genius" The paper
does not touch on the immediate char
ges which It brought against the de-
ceased, but analyses the pension sys-
TEN Of the Krupp firm, which, 1t says,
N a species Of refined swlndllng," ad-
ding;
The enormous so-called benevolent
funds have been built up by compuls-
ory contributions from the employees
who could be arbitrarily deprived of
participation in the .dvantages. They
are required to contribute l-2 percent
Of their wages for 20 years before they
are eligible to pension upon disabil-
lty. In the meantime If an employe
Is discharged or resigns he loses all he
had contributed, often exceeding $3.50.
The number Of men leaving or discharg
ed during the past three years aver
aged seven to eight thousand yearly.
The emI loyes found the system so I'M
satisfactory that i've great meetings
were held this year for the purpose of
seeking legal redress"
rhepaper also quotes the German
budget committee proceedings as show
ing that the Krupp works have been
charging the navy 500 per ton above
what the United States pays for nickel
steel plates, amounting yearly to $780,
900, for Herr Krupp and the works.
This has caused furious political dis
cussion, the Socialists calling attention
to the degrading influence Of great
wealth and the Conservatives pointing
out the desperate character of the So
cialist attack upon the existing order
of society"
