Presidents MESSAGE.

TO the Senate and House of Repre-
oontatives: have convened the con-
sress that 1t may consider the legis-
lation necessary to put into operation
tho commercial treaty with Cuba
which was ratified by the senate at it's
last session and subsequently by the
Cuban government. deem such
legislation demanded not only by our
interest but by our honor. We can
not, with propriety. abandon the course
upon which we have so wisely en-
barhed. When the acceptance of the
Paatt amendment was required .irom
Cuba by the action of congress " the
United States, this government there
by definitely committed itself to the
policy Of treating Cuba as occupying
. unique position as regards this coun-
Try. It was provided that when the
island became free and Independent
sopublic she should stand in such close
relations with us as in certain respects
20 come within our system of interna-
tional policy; and it necessarily fol-
lowed that she must also to GER
tain degree become included within
Che lines Of our economic policy.
Situated, as Cuba is, it would not
b possible for this country to perr,
the strategic abuse Of the plan by any
foreign military power 1t is for
reason that certain limitations have
been imposed upon her financial policy
And that naval stations have been con-
oodod by her to the United States.
The negotiations as to the details of
ehese naval stations are on 1.-THE eve OF
completion. They are so situated as
10 prevent any idea that there is the
Intention ever to use them against
Cuba or otherwise than for the pro-
lection OF Cuba from the assaults of
foreign foes. and for the better safe
guarding OF American interests in the
waters south of us.
THESE interests have largely in.
creased by the consequences of the war
with Spain and will be further in.
creased by the building of the 18th.
milan canal. They are both military
and economic. The granting to us
by Cuba Of the naval stations above
alluded to is OF the utmost Importance
from a military standpoint and Is q
proof Of the good faith with which Gu
ba Is treating us. Cuba has made
great progress since her independence
was established She has advanced
steadily In every way. She already
stands high among her sister repub.
lies OF the ne& world. She Is loyal.

and she Is entitled to like treatment

ESTIMATE OF COTTON CROP
Latham. Alexander { Co. Place
Yield at 10, 800, 900 Bales.

Latham, Alexander & Co. bank
ers and commission merchants OF
New York, have issued circular
letter under date of November %,
in which they estimate the cotton
crop of lg03-l9A at 10, 800 600 bales.
This estimate is based on informa-
tion compiled from reports of cor
respondents in every cotton growing
county in the Southern states. The
crop OF last year was 10, ,72S, ,000 bales
and the estimate of the crop made
by this firm on November %, 1902,
was ii 600 900 bales. The estimate of
the present crop as made by states
places the yield of Texas and the
Indian Territory at 900 900 bales,
or GO, 900 bales more than the crop of
last year.
From the firms letter the follow
ing is taken:
AS a rule weather conditions
throughout the South for the year
have been nnfavorable for the pro-
duction Of cotton. Planting was
late, moisture excessive in the
spring aud after termination the
weather continued too cool for nor
NAL growth. Extreme heat followed
and found the plant tender and rank,
which greatly injured it In large
section of the cotton belt. Later,
about the middle OF October, frost
occurred and as the crop was very
late destroyed the unmatured bolls.
The gathering season has been ex-
ceptionally fine in all sections and
the crop thus far has been secured
in good condition; marketed rapid
ly, on account OF urgent demand in
the interior fro n spinDers whose
mills were closed for some months,
or yho carried over very small
stocks INTO the new cotton year.
