THE CUBA REVIEW. 



13 



Cuba also is to hold a presidential 

 election in November, but the Cubans 

 seem to be taking it much easier than 

 we do. — Albany (N. Y.) Press. 



We have little faith that any stable 

 government can be established by the 

 Cubans and successfully maintained. No 

 evidence of such ability has been shown 

 up to the present time. — Taunton (Mass.) 

 Herald News. 



Cuba hasn't even got self-government. She 

 is the ward of the United States, with an 

 alien as iber governor. Yet her picturesque 

 capital is to be put abreast of the most ad- 

 vanced cities of the world in the great items 

 ot sewerage, water supply and street paving. 

 — Li'-tle ivock ■ Ark.) Gazette. 



At the recent elections in Cuba about 

 two registered voters in three bothered 

 to attend the polls. The baby is walking 

 well.— Rochester (N. Y.) Times. 



COMMENT OF CUBAN NEWSPAPERS. 



"La Discusion" (Conservative) — "The 

 victory of the Conservative party gives 

 back to Cuba the respect of the nations. 

 We have again become in the eyes of 

 the civilized world a cultured people." 



"El Mundo" (Independent) — "There 

 is not one single level-headed person 

 in the whole island who will fail to see 

 in the union of the Liberals a guarantee 

 of peace for the future of the country. 

 Cubans will go to the polls to defend 

 either a Conservative or a Liberal plat- 

 form and not individuals picked out and 

 placed in the race by their followers." 



"El Comercio" (Spanish and Inde- 

 pendent) — -"We are the first to clap our 

 hands at the orderly conduct observed 

 at the Cuban elections. Nobody thinks 

 now of revolutions where the laws are 

 complied with and the right of suffrage 

 is respected." 



"La Lucha" (Liberal) — "There is no 

 use in fooling ourselves. The Conser- 

 vative victory shows that a great ma- 

 jority of the Cuban people were tired 

 of the attitude of the Liberals, of their 

 internal struggles, and their personali- 

 ties which brought about their defeat." 



"El Diario de la Marima" (Spanish and 

 Independent) — "The elections have re-

vealed the existence of a conservative 

 element in Cuba, the influence of which 

 has been always of great force. 



"La Union Espanola" — "Cuba needs 

 an era of peace in which the country may 

 recuperate. The order observed at the 

 last elections and the patriotic union of 

 the Liberals are the first signs of a 

 favorable reaction."
