PRAISE FOR CUBA.


The Denver Republican prints an in
tcresting interview with James w.
Fairyiew. Californian who has spent
the last two years In Cuba, where he
owns several sugar plantations. Mr..
Fairyicw said:
III Cuba Is ever annexed to the
United States, and think the island
will be in the course of few years,
II will not be due to the failure Of the
Cuban government. but because Amer
leans control the island.
In the matter of government
the Cubans have made a great success.
likewise from the standpoint Of finan-
ces In matters sanitary they are all
right-in fact they have made a sue
cess Of every form Of government"
continued the speaker Considering the
conditions at the outbreak of the
Spanish War nothing short OF slay-
ery-they have made greater strides
since than many southern states did
In the twenty years after the Civil
War. and In saying that | do not cast
any reflections ON our southern states.
To-day the Cubans are frecr from
poverty and squalor than are mas,e
sections Of the South, and as for the
race question, why, II Is comparative
~ unknown. The Spaniards and Gu
bans minEle as though they were of one
flesh and blood
But with all this progress, the con-
troll Of the island is now practically in
the hands OF the Americans The steam
railroads. the electric lines, the tobac-
co and sugar plantations. the fruit
farms-are all owned by Americans.
Many OF the latter are also establish
ing great stock farms and cattle ranges
for which considerable portion of the
island is peculiarly adapted II Is only
question Of time before the island
will become a part of the United
States and the sooner II happens tho
better"
