VIEWS ON STEAMSHIP MERGER.
British and German Press Discuss the
Big Scheme

dispatch from London yesterday says:
What is called the 'Morganizing'' of the
greater section of the Atlantic ferry is
causing considerable perturbation in Great
Britain. The Westminster Gazette sug-
gests 1t may be entitled to the grave at
tention of the government as in some
quarters It is insisted that the vital in
terests of the empire in time of war may
be jeopardiZed by the new arrangement"
and. almost in the same breath, the paper
reiterates the argument used when the
combination was first mooted. that it would
be a powerful peace factor between Amer
lea and Great Britain, for the great Ameri-
can fnanciers would find 1t to their own
interests to use their influence against war
between the two countries.
The Pail Mall Gazette thinks the arrange
ment gives the United States an enormous
pull on the Atlantic, and that 1t is not
creditable to Great Britain that English
steamship lines should be dominated by
Americans.
terms under which the German steamship
companies have Joined the international
ship combination are understood to be as
follows:
First-The German lines are to have such
representation on the board of control as
to prevent their being outyoted by the
Anglo American interests. The German
companies will thus preserve their indie
pendence and will no more be controlled
by their associates than they will control
them.
Second-A pro rata distribution of profits
according to tonnage. will be made.
Third-The German companies are to
share in the advantages derived from what
ever agreements the combination makes
with American railroads.

TURNING OVER OF CUBA,
Reasons Alleged by an Havana Paper
for This Action

The Diario de la Mariana of Havana, of
April 49, 1902. in commenting on the rea
sons which influenced the United States to
turn over the island to the Cubans says:
I'm our opinion, and in the opinion of
many who are acquainted with inside United
States politics. the sentimental factor Of
fulfilling promises which had been made,
had less to do with the decision of the fate
of Cuba than any other. The intervening
authorities never really did have a spe-
cific and definite plan as to the final dis
position of the island. During the three
years of their intervention, they have con-
fined themselves to gaining time, to avoid
difficulties and to safely protect the funda
mental principles of their expansion policy
contained in the Plat amendment; but with
experience and the teachings of reality, the
administrators in the White House have
become convinced that it is not as easy to
acquire territory, as it is to retain and pre-
serve it The great obstacles have been
met and are still being met in the incorpO-
ration of Porto Rico to the United States,
and especially the case of the Philippines.
which do much damage. morally and
ma .erially, to the republican party and to
the entire Union. which is obliged to sub
ject with steel and fire the tireless Taga-
logs. and to initiate. therefore. Spain, whose
crueities never assumed the monStrOsitieS
committed in that archipelago by the Amer
lean soldiers and commanders; all these
facts. therefore. we repeat, have forced the
government at Washington to be more
cautious with what not long ago she called
her new possessions.
In Cuba the dangers of a war were not
feared; but other veXatiouS incidents have
occurred, the climax of which was reached
by the division which our complicated eco
nomic question caused in the ranks of the
republican party. The Cuban problem be-
came an obstacle and a danger to the do
nestle policy of the United States. Cuba.
subject to an indefinite occupation. or I'M
der emi-autonomouS government In real
ity American had an inconteStable right to
the admission of her products into the mar
kets of the United States free of duty; large
interests have opposed this which. as has
been stated, have broken the unity of the
republican party and may lead to very Sc
rious complications in the near future II
this island continues to disturb the eco
nomic policy of the party Things having
reached this stage the Cuban problem was
in the way, and it was desired to do away
with it.
Such Is, in our judgement, the principal
reason why the United States, acting with
such haste which is In great contrast with
her previous policy of delay, has desired to
wash her hands as far possible of Cuban
matters The interest of Cuba has not been
considered at all in this solution OF the
question, showing that whether prosperous
or not we are subject to the convenience of
the United States. Taking this into con-
sideration. it is not surprising that so lit
tie interest has been shown by the inter
prepared to govern their own destinies.
