Our Backing of Cuba. It has cost over *3.000.000 for this country to keep order in Cuba nine mouths. Of course the money will be refunded out of the Cuban treasury, and Instead of our ••milking” the hapless Island now that she Is In a sad plight It Is claimed by level beaded natives that we are more than paying our own way—that la to say. Cuba can well afford to keep American protection. even though It comes high. It la Cuban public opinion which holds that the provisional government net np by the Tnlled State* should last and last Indefinitely. The argument by Cuban conservatives Is that the moment the Americans withdraw tbe country win be at the mercy of confllctlDg cliques and politicians. Annexation Is not demanded In this case, for It la held that at a day not hopelessly distant tbe professional politicians and •'revolutionists'' of Cuba will die out American example In all this time win teach the people to work, tbe security guaranteed by American occupation wiU convince them that It pays to work, for the sower of tbe seed and not a gang of loafing bandits will reap the harvest This view makes Uncle 8am a paid police offleer. and unless be shirks tbe Job It la good for ten or a dozen year* longer.

Last Tuesday Colonel Singleton played bit usual game.
