THE WAY CtBA VIEWS TT.

1t is said that the opinion prevails in
Cuba that the refusal of Congress to
pass the Cuban relief bill was due to
clearly understood plan to force Cubans
to ask for annexation. 1t is but
natural of course that such a view
should prevail, though, as a matter of
fact, 1t has no foundation. Those who
followed the proceedings closely know
why the bill failed. 1t will be difficult,
however, to get the Cubans to take the
right view of the matter
1t is claimed that many prominent
Cubans who were for annexation are
now against it, because of what thew
consider the bad faith of the American
people-of Congress. They content that
reciprocity was pledged to Cubans-
pledged when they agreed to make the
Platt amendment a part of their con-
sutution And they insist that the
pledge has been broken. Naturally
they are very bitter in their express
slons against the United States. The
TACT that extraordinary efforts have
been made to get the relief bill through
Congress does not seem to make any
impression on them.
Among well informed men in Ha-
vana the belief prevails that President
Palma VIII not be able to carry on his
government more than four months.
BY the end of that time he will be in
such financial difficulties that he will
have to throw up his hands. If an
nexation has to come It would have
been more gratifying to all parties if it
could have come in a way that would
have had the hearty approval of the
Cuban people. They don't like the idea
of being forced to accept it,

1t is just possible that Senator Bailey
may not have been justified in his
demonstration of Monday; nevertheless,
those who have watched the career of
Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana will be COM
PEELED to admit that he is a mighty for

He has proclaimed himself a man of
destiny, and seems to be saturated with
the notion that he is Immaculate, in
fallible and irresistible If gall were
commodity the Indiana man would
come pretty near to cornering the mar
ket The country will be apt to give
Bailey a Scotch verdict in the matter
of his shaking the young man.

There is not great deal of public
interest in the State Democratic Con-
vention, which assemblies in Atlanta
to-day, for the reason that there is no
contest before the body and its ac-
tons will be largely perfunctory.
There is however, some little curl
osity to see just what the declarations
of the platform VIII be. 1t was init
mated some time ago that the plat
form that would be adopted would be
a harmonizing one; that is, it would
give no offense to any Democrat,
whatever his opinions in the last ma
tional campaign might have been, but
would rather seek TO wipe out past
differences and consolidate the party
for the future. Aside from the franz
ing of the platform, the convention
will hardly 90 more than ratify the
action of the recent primary election.
In China they write books by the
footrule. Sir Lo Feng Luh of the
London legation has been ordered to
prepare a life of Ii Hung Chang in
thirty volumes. If Sir Los material
should run out at the end of the TWEEN
ty-ninth volume he must pad his ma
terial to make the other volume want
ed or he might divide his manuscript
into thirty parts, no matter what its
bulk, and make volume of each part
That expedient, however might be at
tended with some danger, since the
Chinese court is very particular with
respect to its orders, and has a most
unpleasant way of chopping off the
heads of those who do not obey TO the
letter.
