Most OF the revolutions IN Cuba OF
which you read in the American news
papers are absolutely unknown IN our
country" said Jose de Arnas. OF Ha-
vana. Cuba, who is stopping at the
Raleigh on his way to Europe. Mr.. de
Armas is q newspaper publisher and cor
respondent for American papers.
Yes; II has often happened that wa
were able 10 read in American newspa-
pers about revolutions and battles in
Cuba continued Mr.. de Armas .or
which we were absolutely ignorant. These
! Iaischievous stories are published either
through ignorance or the desire OF max
ing news for malicious purposes. And
Etories OF this nature naturally aiways
leave a bad impression Of Cuba behind.
The Cubans are well able 10 govern
themselves. and viii demonstrate this 70
the United States. There VIII be no
further causes for Intervention IN Cuba
on the part Of the American government
OF the occupation Of the island by your
troops. as We have learned how to gov
ern. Gomez Is good president, and he
is supported by all loyal and patriotic
Cubaus.
There Is absolutely no truth n the
talk that the Cuban people were not
friendly toward the Americans Quite
the opposite is the case. Cubans Hss
Americans. and we know the Americans
Ike Us and want 20 see Us progress. The
Z
holders IN Cuba. are loyal supporters Of
the Cuban government. There Is ID
reason 10 think that the American gov
eminent viii again be called upon and
will see the necessity Of taking the reins
out OF the hands OF the Cuban people
10 again restore order. Business is In
proving. and there are indications Of good
times ahead for Cuba
Friedrich WintersteIn. OF Budapest,
Hungary, Is az the New Willard Mr.
winterstein is an exporter OF fruit prod
ucts and is visiting this country on busi-
ness. He viii call or Secretary Wilson
to-day 10 ascertain as much as he can
about the manner and means of growing
fruits Of every variety. recognizing this
country as the greatest fruit-gTowing
country in the world
Hungary Is an agricultural country
said Mr. Winterstein. 'and business there
IS about always the same: that IS 70 say.
It is not subject 70 the same violent 1uc-
tuations IS a country whose chief busi-
ness consists OF manufactured articles
Crops are very good this year. and so IS
business.
There IS no comparison between Hun
gary and the United States. You n
America are chiefly business people, and
business comes before everything else
You are away ahead n everything, leav-
ing Us absolutely out Of the race
Tt seems 70 me that Americans DO not
care much for politics" added M Win
terstein. At least. that IS my impression
Our newspapers. which appear every Two
hours. are fun OF politics. nothing but
politics Wherever you 90 you hear poll
tics Particularly during the last Balkan
crisis there the afr was surcharged with
political discussion.
Although Hungarian is the regular
language 70 be heard IN Budapest almost
everybody can speak German N fact tbs
biggest ard most important daily news
paper in Budapest. the Poster Lloyd.
is printed in the German language The
army language is German, and German
and French are taught n public schools
There Is absolutely 10 prospect o'
Hungary ever being able to establish her
self as an Independent kingdom In fact
the people do not want Il; there Is no
need for Il; IL would DO frePsrabls
harm 20 Hungary II that question sl5uld
ever be seriously agitated.

consequence has been that within the
