General Lee ia tbe only com mander who hat 10 far res)onded.

He goes into this In great detail, taking up tbe sub ject town by town, and showing a gen eral improvement throughout tbe west ern end of the island.

General Leo evidently foresee that liile the United States might provide Cuba with a model system of govern ment, tbe natives wonld be likely to spoil it in the administration, and be has submitted tuggestiont for keeping the government machinery running along lines that commend themselves to the American mind. Even after relieving the Cubans in part of American protection, he would have United States troops maintained in the island to protect Americans and other aliens In tbe enjoyment ot their personal and property rights.
