 J. 5.
No immediate Prospects of a Peaceful Government, and it Can Not Long Stand Under Present Conditions.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. a--rha
 the status 9uo in Cuba cannot soRg D.
 maintained; that there ts DO tmmed late prospect of paacnfuI setf-eo~rrn asent iR tAst island resulting from ths present pTosramrno of the RposeTeI'
 sdniutstrsdo1, and that eventually Cuba win bo snDsxed to the United States. peShaps st the close of the present occupation of tho island hy the Americans, Eere sentiments OK pressed by influential members of con gress today.
 The hindranea to immediate annex. atiop, which it was said on all sides. ought to occur in the interest of grsod government for Cuba, and economy for the United States, arc tho prom ise5 made by Secretary of State Root 10 tho Island republic on his recent visit. As Q result of thoss promises Y ia the consensus of opinion that the administration will prolong the autonomy of Cuba as long as possible for the neral effect ir will have on republics fsrtbeF south.
 Influential men in the adrniristra- .tfon are 'HisSovTaginE all talk of an neXati9n, at least until the Cubans have had another chance at self-goy- ernmeat. --, -.
 By a prominent member of the, sen Tto it was declared today that. until Secretary Root stepped of in Cuba "n his return from South America and practically pledged autonomy, aunexa- ton in q a%easonabie time after the fall If the Palma government. in which re establishment scF self-Gnvernment had been Fe-attemPted in. Cuba, had been the programme of the president and Secretary Taft.
 In the opini6o eT :a.e senator. Secre- taTy Root alone dissauded Mir. Roose- velL and Mir. Taft from this purpose, and convinced them that to proceed 60 annexation at this time would be 10 annul everything he had said and done or his South American trip to Impress up on the southern republics hat the United States is not q terri tor--grabbing nation.
 Teller Resolution Is Error.
 Members of both houses were unaE- tmous in saying that the present un- settled condition in Cuba is the most natural that could come under the cir cumstances. There was no disposi- uon to criticise the administration for the part it is playing. All agreed that the fundamentab error lay in the pas sage of the Teller resolution, which originally. granted Cuba autonomy.
 The overthrow of the Liberal admin istration, the apparent indisposition of all parties io abide by the result of 2 new election 10 be held unfer tho Fi. rectiou of the United States. and the general unrest among the business e!e. ment of the Island. which is constant ly appealing for prolongaticn of the occupation by the United States. are summed up by representative as an indication that annexation will be the outcome of the present muddIe.
 Our national honor is pledged to maintain the autonomy of Cuba So long as it can preserve a peaceful self-governmeut" said Representative Bputelle, of Illinois.
 If the time shall come, however, when, by disturbances or revolutions Cuba cannot maintain such a govern ment. or shall indicate by pleb,cit it's desire for annexation to the United States, the people of the United States will decide the fate of that republic In my opinion. the incorporation Of Cuba into the United States is one of the sure things of the future. be- lieve in ethnological gravitasion. ana whethe. it comes in 1907 or in 1851, the joining of the Cubans to the Amer ican people, will, n my opinion, event ually take place"
