There are indisputabIe evidences that

This does not mean that the irritation

determined TO hold Cuba strictly to the

TO REMIND CUBA OF
DUTY TO AMERICA

toms even ahead of the army OF occu-
patton four years ago. is perhaps more
intimately acquainted with the condi-
tions and needs of Cuba economically
than any other American Indeed il is
asserted by a high official OF the Ad-
ministration that General Bliss knows
more about what is good for the Cuban
people than they do themselves Gen
eraI Bliss not only was particularly ae-
tive in the preparation OF the reel
arociry proposition. but he also has all
along been especially urgent in regard
to the acquiring Of coaiing stations on
the island al the earliest practicable
da5e
Need OF Coaling Stations Imperative.
II is understood that while General
Bliss, like everybody else connected with
the negotiations. does not believe it ad-
visable 10 bring any kind OF force 10
bear upon the situation, still he regards
it as the part of wisdom for this Gov
ernment 10 be notably insistent upon the
point of coaling stations.
With the view of eftecting an early
settlement of this phase OF the question
it is thought that a raI1er sharp note
viii be sent 10 the Palma government IN
a few days, through Minister Sduiers.
calling attention to the need Of the
United States for naval bases at con-
venient and stFategieal points in Cuba.
and reminding the responsible Cuban
authorities that the Plstt amendment is
not only an integral part of the organic
law OF Cuba, but that it also is a statute
of the United States. directing the Pres
ident to do certain things when the con-
ditions prescribed by that amendment
have been complied with ny Cuba
Troops Not to Be Recalled Just Yet.
The President has not yet withdrawn
all Of the military forces Of this coun-
try from Cuba Several batteries of ar
tiliery still are stationed upon the is
land, both as q convenience to the Gu
ban government, and fulfllment Of the
terms OF the Treaty Of Paris. There is
no likelihood that in the present unsi.t-
isfactory state of affairs. these trooDs
VIII be withdrawn. Their places eventu~
ally may be taken by marines and sail
ors. after Cuba has lived up to her
promise 10 grant coaIing stations.
But until that promise is kept. il Is

ident has no authority to Withdraw
