CUBA WILL BE OURS.

One Of the life dreams Of Judge
William H. Green. deceased is now
likely soon 10 he realized-the an
ncxaiion Of Cuba. Judge Green was
an ardent eXpansio0ist in that direc-
lion believing that SPANS possession
of the island was a constant menace to
american interests. and her misman.
7gement of the islands affairs was 2
crime against the people He believed
that Cuba was really a part of. and of
right should belong TO. this country,
and should have been made SO many
years ago when General Grant ven
tired 10 suggest a movement in that
direction. He considered 70 a mis-
tgke when the Cuban Republic was
established saying that the people
were not capable of sefgoyernmeut
and should be brought under the
strong arm Of Uncle Sam.
That the island will now become
part Of this country is hardly open
TO doubt The formal act of annexa-
tion may be delayed a few months:
but n may be locked for with much
confidence before the expiration Of
tho term Of oar impeiuous and some.
