who constitute the admins ration in
so far as the island is concerned,
have determined on an American
protectorate as the best form of gov
eminent for the "headless natives
who innabit the fertile and rich do
main.
Governor Magoon. who has been in
control Of the situation since the Unit
ed States in, ,ervened some months ago
to quell the revolution, is now per-
fecting the details t5at have been
worked out by Secretary of Srate
Root, in conformity with the wishes
of President Roosevelt. The gov

dent. 1t can be done hOnOrably,
adds Mr.. Root speaking on infOrma-
lion he has received directly from Mr..
Mas con governor OF the island, who
is on Tie scene and familiar with con-
titions
The plan that has been decided up
on and the one that will be followed
IS, naturally enough based upon the
belief OF the administration that the
Cubans are unfit for self government.
AS 1t came from the white house and
rs it was unfolded to the writer, the
plan follows:
Long about July 4th-the Glorious
Fourth-the United States will tenn
porarily withdraw all troops from Gu
ba, and the Cubans with much eclat
will set up another Republican form
OF government, the election having
been held in the meantime. The sue
cessful party in the election will hold
the reins of the new government.
According to calculations at the
state department, based upon infor-
nation furnished by Governor Ma
gCon, this new republican form of
government will last about 80 days.
Tnen there will be another revolution
The outs Will wage war on the ins
When the revolution is rocking
along nicely, the United States will
step in, peace will follow and a per-
manent protectorate will be establish
ed in the interest of humanity and the
American interests represented on the
island of Cuba.
