THE CUBAN REPUBLIC
Its Government to Be Inaugurated
on February a..
Tomas Estrada Palma, the President
Elect, Relieves That Future of
Island Depends ON Ameri-
can Friendship.

The Cuban election for presidential
and senatorial electors and members
of the house of representatives and
governors of provinces on January /
resulted in the choice of electors who
will cast their votes ON February "a
for Gen. Tomas Estrada Palma for
president and DR.. Luis Estevez, once
secretary of justice in Gen. Wood $
cabinet, for vice president of the re-
public. There was practically no OPP
position at the polls, Gen. Maso. the
opposing candidate, having with-
drawn; but there were partisan ex-
pressions of dissatisfaction. Gen.
Palma was called by his political enc
mics the American candidate and the
the best evidence is of at least ac-
quiescence if not satisfaction.
Gen. Palma may properly be called
the American candidate in this sense
that he accepts the settlement of
the whole Cuban question that was
brought about under the Platt reso-
luton. For this there could have
been no other choice OF a president
so fit. He is a Cuban by birth and
a lawyer by early training. His IA

A HARD BLOW FOR SCHLEY
Dismisses His Appeal From De-
clsion Of Court Of Inquiry.
SAYS MCKINLEY ACTED JUSTLY
Santiago Fight Declared Captains Bal
lie, and No Unusual or Pre-emiaent
Credit Due to Either Admiral.

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 30 Presi,
dent Roosevelt officially ended the
Sampson Schley controversy in n ju.
diciai opinion denying Admiral
Schley y appeal Leaders OF the two
Houses have informed President
Rooaevelt that Congress will accept
this decision as finn,.
There IN general agreement with
the Presidents conclusion that there
Ii no excuse whatever from either
side for any further agitation OF this
unhappy controversy. To keep it alive
would merely do damage to the navy
and to the country.
Admiral Schley's friends in Con-
gross have not had time to confer
about the Presidents decision. but
it Is believed that it will have much
the same effect upon them. and es-
pecially upon those who are Republic
cans, as it has upon others who have
had the opportunity of reading il.
Nothing will be done with the Schlcy
resolutions.
The investigation made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the statement of
it's results have impressed Senators
Representatives and othres. The
Presidents practical wisdom in treat
ing Admiral Schley's appeal as one
from President McKinlev's decision
as to the credit for the battle OF San
tiago. rather than as one from the
opinion of the majority of tho Court
OF Inquiry; his production OF the
personal statements OF PhlliD, CLARK,
Evans, Taylor and Wainwright, who
commanded the five ships engaged.
besides the New York and tha Broe X
Ign, and his judicial comments ON
the fact generally, are regarded as
strong features.
The meat of President ROOSEVELT
decision is in these words: AS re-
CARDS to Admiral Sampson and Schley
find that President Mckinley did
substantial Justice, and that there
would be no warrant for reversing
his action II cannot be agreeable
either to Admiral Schley or to Ad-
miral Dewey.

came to the United States. He soon
went to Honduras, where for a time
he held important public positions,
and married daughter of the presi-
dent of Honduras. He returned to
the United States, and made his home
at the village of Central Valley in
New York, where he has kept a
school for Cuban boys. He has not
been in Cuba for 20 years.
In 1895 he became the head of the
Cuban junta in New York, and did
energetic service against Spain. He
was elected the first president of the
Cuban republic without an effort on
his part. He is now 66 years old,
and he is a man in whom the conser-
vative citizens both of Cuba and of
the United States have confidence.
On the day after his election Mr..
Palma declared that the principal OBJ
ject of the Cuban republic should be,
first of all, to secure the most friend
ly relations with the American peo-
pie, who helped the Cubans in the
hour of need. They should always
bear in mind the work of the United
States in helping them to obtain
their independence from Spanish
rule. At the same time they should
try TO secure from the Washington
government all the advantages possi-
BILE for their products by reasonab BILE
reductions of the import duties, es-
pecially on sugar and tobacco, as this
is the only way for Cuba to escape
the absolute ruin of these two indus
tries, which are the basis of its ac-
tual wealth.
The sulking and dissatisfied party,
whose leader is Gen. Bartoleme Maso,
has the possibility of mischievous OPP
position-not open opposition of the
American kind. but rather the sort
of treachery which is too often the
Latin-American method Of opposi-
ton.
