THE PRESIDENT
WOULD ANNEX
M'Kiulo) Is Nut Satisfied With The
Management of A (Fairs on the Is
lainl Many Reports Dune to Him
That Iiiiglhihnicn Get iletter Treat
ment Than Americans.
Nr.w Yomc, .Inly 11. According to n
c.jrreiponduiit of tlio World nt Washing
ton, President McKinloy iH workingenor
geticahy upon u plan to Rulnnit the
question of tin independence or annex
ation of the iulimil to thi! people of Culm.
Ho believes that tliuy would votu for an
nexation. lU'portH from Governor-Gen-oral
Ilruoko indicated a contrary view,
hut thu president has received confiden
tial letters from inllnuntiul representa
tives of eoiiitiH-rciul iutereatfl and from
other sources in tin il ahont Iluvana which
havo convinced him that Genurul IlrooUe
Is mlitukoii, and that tlio pooplo in the
western portion of tho island an well ns
those in thocasturu portion would gladly
oto for a territorial government under
the great rfjiuhlic.
These conlldt'iitial reports reveal at'ood
deal nioro discord among tlio American
provincial rutura than is unually believed
to exist. Tim policy applied to tlio gov
ernment of tho provinces in tlio westum
end of tlio island Plnnr del Kin, Hav
ana and Matam'.as which arc ilirtctly
niidur tlio supervision of General Uruoke,
ia for instance radically difl'uront form
that inaugurated by General Loonuid
Wood, military commander of Santiago.
The government of Santiago ia looked
upon hy thu pri'Hidont tii moru desirable
than that in thu western provinces. Gen
eral Wood, whiio liuro recently, mado a
report to the president, who indorsed hip
policy and urged Us continuance. Gen
eral Wuodii, il ia learned, made many
iiK''8tione, which will he published for
the guidance of ihu commandcrH of oilier
Cuban provinces.
Tint president inquired particularly uh
to the extent of tho Hiintinivnt for and
iiimliiat annexation.
"I am llrnily convinced," said General
Wood, "that annexation would ho carried
hy four to one in Santiago. Tho people
"I that province, and I tiulievo tho ma
jority of tu, otl er provinces, do not want
independence. Tlioy mVo realized n:any

It may bo a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the riuht to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet nn a preventive of sufreririK
wo feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhnea liemody. AVe liavo known and
used thia medicine in our family lor
twenty years atid hayo ala nys found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of Eufrerititr
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly oti
any mcdicino for a cure, but we do
believe ttiat if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Itemed' was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much Fullering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not bo riqulred. At
leust this has been our exper'unce
during the paBt twenty years. For ealo

SITUATION IS
MOST GRAVE
Canada Will Send Mounted Police There
United States Will Send Troops
to Pyramid Harbor.
Ciiicaoo, July 11. A rpecial to the
Tribune from Washington eays:
An intimation hae been received by
the state department that the Canadian
government will send a forco of mounted
police to the Porcupine region in British
Columbia. If this ia done, the United
States government will respond by send
ing troops to Pyramid harbor to protect
the interests of the American citizens.
The situation is extremel) grave, and
will call for delicate work on the part of
both governments to preserve peac.
The Porcupine region is part of tho
territory now in dispute, which would
be neutral ground if a modus vivendi
were agreed upon. This is the point
where a clash catno near being precipi
tated some time ago between Ameiican
and Canadian miners. At that time
this govornment ordered troops to Pyra
mid harbor to pieserve the peace. This
action came to the notice of tlio British
embassy here, and it was brought to
the attention of the Salisbury govern
ment, which entered a protest and re
quostod that tho orders bo canceled.
This was done and the Canadian govern
ment agreed to withdraw its mounted
police.
Both governments have lived up to
their agreement, and eicca that time
neither American troops nor Canadian
mounted police have been in tho Por
cupine region.
The hopeful view expressed by the
British colonial office is also entertained
here, nd notwithstanding the critical
condition of tho diplomatic negotiations,
it ia still belitved an amicable agree
ment can be had. There will be no
hesitation on'tho part of the officials,
however, to send troops to Pyramid har
bor if the Canadians should send a foico
of policemen near the Amrrican line.
