A BAD STATE OF
AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
(Savanah News.)

1t was expected when the United
States established a provisional gov
eminent in Cuba that everything
would be Strengthened out in nine
months, and that our army would be
withdrawn not later than June of next
year. 1t is a safe statement that it
will not be withdrawn at that time.
Perhaps it will not be withdrawn in
a wear. There are business men and
planters in Cuba who hope 1t will not
be withdrawn at all. They are salts
fled that the Cubans cannot make a
success of self-government, and that
il they are given another trial it will
be failure. 1t may not take as long
to show the incompetency OF the
Palma government.
1t is a question II Secretary Taft
would have taken the course he did
if he had been satisfied of the ability
of the Cubans to govern themselves.
1t looks as if he decided to pacify the
island by the quickest method posi-
BILE and give the Oubans another trial
so as to have the question of an in
dependent government In Cuba set
JlcQ dS SOOu do VOSoiOAC' nc AhuoS
have seen that IL he took course
that would result in overthrowing the
Palma government and excusing the
insurgents there would be attempts
to overthrow any new government
that might be set UP. 1t would be ar
gued that II those who were RESPONSE
BILE for the downfall of the Palma
government were not only forgiven
their disloyalty, but were given the
opportunity to get the principal Off
ces and the control of the island at
tempts would be made to overthrow
the government chosen at a new cleo
ton.
II Secretary Taft saw the situation
that way probably his plans includ-
ed the ultimate annexation of Cuba
to this country II is difficult to un-
derstand his method for pacifying the
island on any other theory. IL he had
really desired 10 give Cuba stable
government it seems as if he would
have insisted on the punishment OF
those who were arrayed against the

CLAIMED THAT FRAUDS WE'RE
COMMITTED IN SEVERAL
PRECINCTS.

Col. John r. Jones, of Bradentown,
is in the city to-day, says the Tampa
Times. Colonel Jones says the recent
election in bianatee county was about
the liveIieSt affair of the kind in
which he has ever participated. He

The night before the election
meeting in the interests of Graham's
candidacy was held in building on
Terra Celia island. Graham had fin.
ished his speech and Jones was speak

presumably by crowd Of socialists.
Many of the windows were broken
and one of the missiles struck Ora

closed the meeting and started home
| they found that the seats of their
carriages had been covered with sand
spurs.
Colonel Jones thinks the defeat of
Graham was due principally to the
bitter personal attacks made on him
by the Tallahassee Sun.
