riously consider annexation as the
only solution of the problem.
Senator Rrandesce of Connecticut
Cuba. of all the former Spanish pos
sessions. is the only one that would
have been of real value To us. The
Philippines nave been an expense
from the day we got them. Cuba,
lying as she does. in a position to
guard the Panama canal, would be a
protection to the United States. No
American wants to take possession of
that island whereon we have estab-
lished d republic. but the neople of
Cuba must guarantee to its citizens a
stable and safe government. and
maintain Jaw and order. If the people
of Cuba can not, or will not. do this,
then. ultimately we will he bound to
take the island over and develop it,
and make it what it should be. if her
people are given the opportunity to
know that their rights will be respect
ed. their property protected from re-
bellion and revolution. and their lives
at all times safe.
Senator Marcus A. Smith Of Arizona
My opinion always has been that we
ought to have taken Cuba and let all
the other islands alone. We must see
that order is maintained there. If the
Cuban government cannot maintain a
stable and peaceful government.
then 1t will be our duty to step in and
take 1t. and give her people that which
their present government apparently
cannot give them.
Would Take Part of Mexico.
Representative Francis Burton Har-
rison of New York; am in favor Of
annexing Cuba. and also the upper
half Of Mexico. I am for peace along
the border. and ] believe only in this
way can peace be secured.
Representative Ezekie! S. Chandler
of Mississippi-We are and have been
spending millions of dollars in Cuba
in our efforts to promote an efficient
and peaceful government there. It
seems almost certain that we must
continue to do this indefinitely. My
position is that If we are compelled
to spend this money we should not do
SO without taking advantage Of the
benefits that would accrue to US by
being In possession. Therefore. T
favor the immediate annexation of the
island.
Is Against All Annexation.

in the Delegation
Seems His.
BRYNE IS LEADING IN THE
RACE FOR The G0vERM0RsH|P
The Entire Progressive State Ticket is
Probably Nominated-Sterling Is
Leading Gamble for United States
Senator-Wilson is Behind Clark.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. June 5.-With the
principal local interest in yesterdays
primary election in South Dakota GEN.
.ered in the race for governor, the
precinct judges gave their first atten-
tion to the count for that office, with
the result that less than a third Of
1900 precincts had reported this
morning on the presidential prefer
ence.
These returns indicate. however.
that Roosevelt will have the whole of
South Dakota's delegation to the Chi
cago convention and Wilson has a
good lead over Clark for the demo-
cratic delegation.
That Roosevelt will have a plurality
of several thousand is apparently as
sured. Taft seems to be third in the re
publican race. LaFollette having poll
ed substantial vote which in some
counties exceeded that of Roosevelt.
Richard E. Pettigrew had no op-
position for governor on the demo.
cratic tickt Returns thus far show
Thomas Sterling to he in the lead for
united States senator on he republi
can ticket with Gamble second and r.
o. Richards third.
Lieutenant Governor Frank Byrne
has good lead over G. w. Egan for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor. and the rest of the progressive
state ticket is doubtless nominated.

North Carolina-I am opposed to the
annexation of any country that is not
contiguous to the United States. This
applies to Cuba. though l confess that
see more excuse for taking posses
sion of that island than any other.
Representative II. Garland Dupre os
louisiana am unalterably opposed
TO taking Cuba, or, for that matter.
Mexico. OF course, am concerned
about the turmoil in those countries,
but question of greater present i'm
portance to the people of the United
States is the menace that hangs over
the country in the personality of
Theodore Roosevelt.
Representative Steven B. Ayres of
New iork-Pesonally. 1 think we
ought to take possession Of Cuba as
the most effective means of promot-
ing peace in that country. Otherwise.
we will always have the troubles of
the island to look after. anyway. and
without being in actual possession we
will always be handicapped in keeping
Its citizens in good order. The situa-
tion confronts the United States. and
1t has become the duty of the coun-
then bv force.
Calls Annexation ga CALAMITY
Representative Joseph E. Ransdell.
Louisiana--To take possession Of Cuba
would he the greatest calamity could
think OF. We have racial complica- =
ton enough in this country as it is.
without bringing on much more diff
cult ones by anneXing country where
II is said there are no social distinc-
and African blood. If Cuba he an
nexed and be made part of the coun-
try in the logical course of events it
would become state in few years,
ana unless all accounts which / have
neard and read about the racial con-
dition In that country be correct We
would nave on our hands the most
dlfhcult problem that we have ever
confronted
-. Representative Albert s. Rurleson.
Texas-There is no occasion for the
intervention in Cuba. There is no
more reason why We should take Cuba
than that we should take Canada.
Representative Victor Murdock.
Kansas hope that America will
continue to exercise infinite patience
in promoting conditions which will
enable Cuba to maintain stable gov
crnment Of her own.
Representative j. W. Alexander. Mis-
souri-The time will come. in my
opinion. when we will be compelled 70
annex Cuba. but there is no present
occasion for taking that action.
Approves Colonial Policy"
Representative Edward l.. Taylor
Jr.. ohio-Not until Cuba has demon
strated absolutely that she is una Bile
to care for her own affairs should the
United States take possession Of the
island am not convinced that Cuba
mas made such demonstration as yet
However. when Cuba fails. tl,iri 1T
is the paramount duty of the United
States to step in and take charge.
Representative Robert c. W-ickliffe,
Louisiana-1f we annex Cuba. what
becomes of the anti-imperialistic de-
caration in our party platform of
1900? l ask this question as DEM
ocrat. 1 am against taking Cuba now,
Just as l was against taking the phil
ippines. 1t would be to embark upon
a colonial policy which we successful
" fought against in the case of the
Philippines.

Members of Congress Express Their
Views Upon the Annexation of Cuba

m,~t be admitted and that is that the
feeling exists in the minds of public
men that eventually this country must
assume that burden. If these periodi-
cal outbreaks threatening the exist
ence of law and order and undermin-
ing Il stable government continue,
some means must be found to supply
the island with government that will
compel the respect Of its citizens and
maintain order and permit the people
to transact their business and live in
peace and safety. That duty may yet
be forced upon the United States but
we do not look forward to it with
complacency. This. 1 believe. to be
the general opinion of those with
whom I have talked upon this sub
ject.
Fall Talks of Annexation.
Senator Fall of New Mexico-It
would he foolish to be always required
and always prepared to intervene tc
maintain order in that island. and to
stand the enormous cost that this
periodical Intervention puts upon our
people. and not have absolute possess
sion Of Cuba. The time will soon
for it looks as if there never would be
law and order there until this gov
ernment steps in and enforces it. 1t
would certainly add to the peace and
safety Of the people Of Cuba, and
would be an economical proposition
for us If nothing else.
Senator Nelson Of Minnesota-These
revolutions in Cuba that break ou,
every now and then are organized for
the purpose of creating feeling and
arousing the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people for annexation. The whole
scheme is one intended to force an.
nexation by the United States and
thereby get rid Of the sugar tax.
Senator Curtis of Kansas-Annexa- :
ton is inadvisable. There is no situa-
tion there now that justifles the sug-
gestion. and hope none will arise.
Senator Overman Of North Carolina
The situation in Cuba as It changes
from time to time with the temper
and moods Of that people. presents a
problem with which We may have to
deal at some time or other.

ments were sent south from here to-
day to support the vanguar of the
rebels under Col. Antonio Rojas at
Santa Rosalia. forty-six miles north of
the federal base at Piminez
There is persistant rumor here
that General Huerta has moved the
federal forces no considera BILE distance
north of Jiminez. The rebel cavalry
may be moved southwark to harass
him. as he has sent most of his own
cavalry away on flank movement
west of this city. The infantry and
artillery are all that remain in
Huertas columns and the rebels may
take advantage of this condition by
sending bands of mounted men into
the vicinity now held by the federals
The prospects of an engagement at
Bachimba between the main bodies of
the two armies is yet remote.

Judge Archibald of any completely in
the Dainty disappearance.
Mr.. Brown said he was not able to
get Dainty to make any statement un-
der oath, but that Mr.. Dainty had
made several statements to him
which were at variance with sworn

meeting of the republican national
committee on Thursday morning. The
committee faces .tangle such as per-
haps has never confronted a national
committee Of the party on the eve Of
a convention.
The right Of newly chosen commit
teemen to seats: the question of open
hearings of the more than 200 dele
gate contests: the prospect of fight
to the finish on the selection of Sena-
tor Elihu Root for temporary chair
man; and the belief that Colonel

ry into the convention their fight for
the seating Of their contesting dele
gates, are some of the problems en-
crossing the attention of Chairman
