| This is the paediction of DR.. Leo

Cohnei Roosev&3. now president dur
ling the war in e3e island between the
Spanish and Ar3erican forces Furth-
er. Dr.. De Pea4{says that Palma was

IA. ANNEXATION, a$Es DR.. de Peau. is the
fSily solution q fhe present situation
lin CUBA, BeGduse of the tariff against
Cuban sugar planters cannot move the
crop. They have no money and no
means of raising any without giving
from is to % per cent on it, and he
thinks the spirit of internal dissen.
sion will tear the island to pieces
again, and that the United States will
be compelled to take possession.
| This is what is desired by the better
element. Spanish and Cuban alike, he
declares. and he is now on his way to
Washington to see President Roose-
welt personally in the matter of the
loss of his family fortune in Cuba.
Vast tracts of land which Spain never
owned, he says, have been sold there,
and among the private interests of
hundreds of residents of the island.
Now he says hundreds are starving
on the island, the United States is
pouring flood of labor there instead
of utilizing the labor at hand, and the
result is. that although three years
have elapsed since the close of the
war, Cuba has made little progress,
because of the fact that there is no
money.
| NEW YORK, Feb. lit is said
that a lengthy letter has been for
warded to Admiral Dewey by Prince
Henry of Prussia, warm personal
friend, which was sent by the prince
from Berlin, says a Washington dis
patch. 1t expresses the kindest per-
sonal regard and is in way an apol-
ogy from Germany to the admiral.
| Prince Henry admits that the Ger
mans made errors in the engagement
at Manila. and that Admiral Dewey
was right and acted best In all things.
| This letter will be received with
great qualification by the admiral for
he has had high regard for the
prince, and unpleasant relations of
state. made the situation somewhat
embarrassing at a time when the
American people expected him to rep
resent them. and when he wanted to
express his personal feelings in pub
lie way.
Admiral Dewey will send repre-
sentative to New York to receive
Prince Henry for him. as the serious
condition of Mrs. Dewey's health will
prevent him from being there in per
son.
