h Fate of Cuba.
N, o. States.

1t is apparent from the official
correspondence which has been
submitted to Congress relating
the Intervention by this govern
ment in Cuba and the establish
ment of the existing provisional
rule in the island. that the fate
of the Cuban republic is hanging
by an exceedingly slender
thread. Secretary Taft shows
that when this government inter-
vened President Palma was pre-
pairing to flee the island, and in
the chaotic conditions that would
have been caused by his flight it
would have been possible for the
insurrectionists to have put the
torch to property and crops
worth more than $40. 00O, 900 be-.
longing to American and foreign
investors.
Secretary Taft is convinced
that this was the programme of
the revolutionists when they rose
against Palma. aud he has good
reasons for believing that if they
had an opportunity they would
be eager now to embark upon
the same kind of enterprise.
Therefore he has not much hope
that the Cubans will settle down
to a life of law and order, nor
does he think that they are capa-
BILE of honest self government of
any kind. but nevertheless they
are to be given a chance to become
reasonable, and if after a fair
trial their government falls to
pieces, the responsibility for the
extinguishment of the Cuban re-
public will rest with the Cubans
themselves. and the United
States can not then be accused
of an unworthy greed to pull
down the little island state in
order to add it to our territorial
possessions.
In this connection it is only
fair to say that those who know
the Cubans believe they will
again plunge into disorder the
moment they are left to their
own devices, hence the Ameri-
cans having large property in
tprests in the island hope and
trust that the present provisional
government by the United States
will be maintained for a long
time. because they do not hesitate
to say that the Cubans are not
ft to govern themselves OF to
become American citizens.
This may be the correct view of
the situation in Cuba. If so, it
will be generally agreed that it
would be advisable that the
provisional government estah-
lished by the United States
should remain in control of the
island for years than that we
should annex Cuba, because the
instant the island is annexed the
demand will be made to give the
horde Of incompetents all the
rights of American citizenship.
AZ their votes would be of value
to political parties this demand
would be difficult to resist, vet
it is easy to perceive that the re-
suits would not be for the good
Of the country which already has
hundreds Of thousands of undi
gested citizens on its hands.

SHE APPEALS TO THE POPE
Young Duchess with Her Child Ask.
For Justice.

ROME, Feb. S.-Interest is mani
tested in high circles regarding an at
tempt which is being made to annul
the romantic marriage of the young
Duke de la Sale.
In 1905 the duke, while at Athens,
fell in love with a beautiful but poor
girl named Marika KarusOs and they
were married according to the rites of
both the Greek and Roman churches.
Some months later an agent of the
old duke induced the young duke to
go to Paris and make his peace with
the family.
From that time all trace of the
young duke has been lost. His father
has applied to the vatican authorities
here to annul the dukes marriage to
Marika. The latter appealed to the
pope, but received an unsatisfactory
answer, and later, with her newly born
daughter, the young duchess came to
Rome and is demanding justice from
the vatican

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. S-The
joint committee considering the
measure for opening the upper Column

the suggestion of Congressman Jones,
for the state to turn over a certain
sum of money to be used with that
appropriated by congress- This after
noon Senator Presby and Representa-
tives Goldman and Rhodes We're named
as a subcommittee to draw a new bill
to take the place of the old. The new
measure will eliminate the appointment
of a commission and will provide that
the money appropriated be spent by
the government engineers. This also
means there will be no state survey.
The joint conference committee
leaves tomorrow morning for Portland,
where it will meet a like committee
from the legislatures of Oregon and
Idaho and the open river project will
be thoroughly threshed out.
Can't Agree on Districts.
ment committee, despite the insistent
prodding of Speaker Falconer, is as far
from the agreement on the Gregg bill
of three districts as ever. There was
long and turbulent session of the
committee this afternoon. While
Gregg had eight for his bill and five
against, as a general proposition
enough of the eight wanted further
consideration to prevent the bill being
reported out.
Dickson submitted a proposition that
made one congressional district of all
the east of the mountains and Columbia
river counties and a district of all the
western counties and provided for one
congressman at large until the next
census. His plan was rejected by the
close vote of to 6.
Then Megler proposed putting all
trict and dividing the remainder Of the
state into two districts having the di-
vision line run east and west. This
was rejected by to 6 vote. Hen
derson of Walla Walla voted against
the Gregg bill and for Megler. The
committee adjourned to meet tomor-
row, when an effort will be made under
the spur of the speaker to get some
kind of report out. In all probability
it will be two recommendations.
