CUBANS GIVE UP THEIR ARMS. Then Bay New With nrS-Man? Thlntji tu Auger them. New Yoik. June 13. The Rev. Al fred de Burritt, who four months ugc founded the Congregutional church in the city of IluTitna, has returned to this country for aid in Ii is religious und educational work in Cuba. Dr. de Uuriilt ipoke today about present con ditions in Cuba and the possibility of an oiitbruua against the Americans. "If this occurs," he sai l, "it will be the fault of tho Amaricani. The Cubans ate u peaceful people, but they are also proud ind sensitive, and many things have been done recently to nnget C m. The Cubans feel that they ure being treuted Tery much at though they hud been conquered by us. At any rate, the Wushingtuu authorities should do away with the present militaiy gov ernment. It is worse than unnecei latyj it is doing an immense dual of harm. A great many of the Ameircun officer do not like Cuban and don't scruple to let this be known. How can you expect the Cubans to like them? (leneiul Brooke and ienor.il Lue are liked und trusted, but their in fluence for good is nullified liy the at titude of uthei officers. "Tho payment of thu Cuban troops and requiring them tu lay down their Btmi was u niistuko. The disarming wus a great humiliation to the men, und thy first tiling a good manv of them did with their $75 each was to buy new guns und machetes. Theie is as vet no distinct idea in the minds of the majority of people as to what thuy really want, whether annexation or Im dependence. Hut they obtain their iduus of the United Status government from tha Amur ican officers and those ideas are not favorable." I 'If WIT I Pin . "i nidi i lU.iii H PrM4onl Sanies BaaQl OaMliHtn.
