‘ he 1st o f Jan u a ry , so th a t the fu ll rc-es-
lahllshm ent of peace found the relinquished

disorder which prevailed for the g reater
Pa f ‘ o l ‘ he preceding three decades, and
build up that tranq u il development of the
domestic slate whereby alone can be re­
alized the high purpose, as proclaimed
In the Joint resolution adopted by the
congress on the 19th of A pril, 1X98. by which
the 1 nited States disclaimed any disposi­
tion or Intention to exercise sovereignty,
Jurisdiction or control over Cuba, except
for the pacification thereof, and asserted
its determ ination when th a t was accom­
plished to leave the governm ent and con­
trol o f the Island to Its people
The
pledgo contained In this resolution is of
the highest honorable obligation and must
be sacredly kept.
I believe th a t substantial progress has
been made In this direction. A ll the ad­
m in istrative measures adopted in Cuba
have aimed to fit it fo r a regenerated ex­
istence by enforcing the suprem acy of law
and Justice: by placing where it is p ra c ti­
cable the m achinery of adm inistration in
the hands of the inhabitants: by in s titu t­
ing needed san ta ry reforms, by spreading
education, by fostering Industry and trade,
by inculcating public m o ra lity , and In
short takin g every ration al step to uid the
Cuban people to a tta in to that plane of
self-conscious
respect
