Administration Does Not Like Looks
Of Cuban Situation.
Defeated Party at New Elections Max
Start Insurrectlon - Would Mean
Indefinite Occupation by America
Troops-Many Persons Opposed
to Inevitable.

Washington, Dec. 20. - Occasional
rumbling or rumors OF little sideshow
instructions popping up in certain
provinces OF Cuba are tending to keep
the United States from forgetting the
problem it has to deal with down there.
There are some angles in this problem
that have received little attention as far
as the public is concerned, but which
have occupied and are now occupying
much attention on the part Of high gov
erninent officials and administration
advisers among the members OF con-
gress.
II is fact not generally known that
our government entertains grave fears
regarding what may happen following
the Cuban elections in January. A
great many have believed that inter-
vention by the United States will have
accomplished its purpose as soon as a
new government has been chosen by the
Cuban people; that our forces would
withdraw after inaugurating this new
government with tranquility estab-
lished. That is the rosy view Of the
situation, and everything would be
lovely II our high officials we're sure it
would work out just that way.
But they are not sure. President
Roosevelt, it is understood, has grave
doubts about the effect Of the coming
election on the defeated party.
II we be forced to do any more inter-
vening there will be an effort by GER
tain element to force annexation, which
some OF our ablest statesmen insist is
something that comparatively few peo-
pie in this country want. The admin
istration recognizes the embarrassing
situation that may confront itand, after
President Roosevelts warming to Gu
bans to "be good' in the future or take
the consequences, the question is just
what course shall be pursued il the
Cubans don't stay good.

American Weekly Publishers associa-

the postage for second-class mail mat
ter, shcw that the government is pay

mail matter as the express companies
pay the railroads for like SERVICE
On the basis OF the postmaster gem

that the government during the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1907, will pay the
roads almost $23 100000 more than
the express companies would pay them
for hauling the same tonnage. The
printers and publishers compile the
statistics to show that the government,
for the purpose OF reducing the annual
postoffice deficit, rather should reduce
Its outlay for the transportation than
increase the rate for sccond-class mat
ter.

eminent Is an expert traffic manager,
