STORY OF CUBA'S STRIFE.
Present Conditions In the Island and
Causes Leading Thereto.

Shnscs Leaning ihere'o.
The present revolution in Cuba has set
the eyes of the world On that island and
the issues nt stake are so important that
every American wants to know the basic
fncts which have resulted in the present
crisis, says a writer in the New York
Times.
When Cuba was admitted into the fam
ily of nations it was on the understanding
that she should abstain from the custom
immemorial in Latin-Amcrican countries
of indulging in revolutions and revolts. 1t
was stipulated that she should "be good "
also that she should decide by the rules
and regulations tacitly in force and effect
in nations, pretending to civilization. The
world did not take her unsupported word
for this pledge. The United States went
on her bond to keep the peace, and as a
consequence there was inserted in the
treaty of Paris a clause which is known
as "the Platt amendment" which gives
the United States government the right
to interfere in Cuban affairs at any time
when the peace and prosperity of Cuba
are threatened.
In any consideration of this Cuban
problem-and the people of the United
| States will have to consider it and settle
it. whether they wish to or not-there are
| certain essential facts which must be kept
in mind.
In the first place, Cuba is too valuable
a piece of property to be made a perpet-
ual battlefield. Not in all the world is
there within reach of speedy development
so matchless an area of territory awaiting
the application of labor tempted by
money. Cuba has a tillable area almost

STATUE TO
Thc $4,000 Memorial to Martyr
President Is Unveiled.

President Is Unveiled.
People from all over Ohio were present
at the unwilling of the $4,000 bronze
statue of the late President Mckinley,
which faces High street from the west
front of the State capitol at Columbus.
The principal figure of the thousands OF
persons who packed the streets and the
capitol grounds were Mrs. Alice Roose-
velt-Longworth, daughter of the Presi-
dent, who unveiled the statue. The two
principal orators of the occasion were
Justice William r. Day of the United
States Supreme Court and United States
Senator John w. Daniel of Virginia.
Gen. r.. =. Brown of GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
head of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and Gen. Joseph w. Kay of New York,
past national commander of the Union
Veterans Legion, and Gov. Harris also
made addresses.
Elaborate preparations were made for
the dedication, but there was no ostenta-
tious display or formal parade. An inn
mense open stand, seating 1000 people,
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting, was erected along the entire
west front of the capitol building, and it
was occupied by distinguished Buckeyes
from all over Ohio.
Mrs. Longworth and her immediate
party occupied an especially constructed
stand jutting out from the center of the
general stand, and she could thus be cas-
lily seen by all. The wide space of ground
between her and the statue was packed
with people.
The exercises. held on the anniversary
of McKinley's death, opened with an over
ture by Neddermeyer's band, followed by
a song by the Republican Glee Club. The
Rev. Washington GLADDEN. offered prayer
and Gov. Harris, as president of the day,
delivered a short speech. Justice Day fol-
lowed.
