Matanzas, Cuba, March 7.-General James H. Wilson, military governor of the department of Matauzas-Santa Clara, in the course of an interview today, said: "Trouble ia absolutely out of the question. Tho future depends largely upon the agriculture prosperity; and where work is plentiful, wages are good, and a' country is prosperous, no sensible man wishes to alter conditions. "Any person who publishes reports representing the Cubans as preparing rising, does so with malicious intent to misrepresent them, or because he has beon led to believe this by those who know better. The prospects of Cuba are very bright. If sugar goes to the United States free or nearly so, there will be such an influx of capital and of mmigrauts as will render Cuba, ere long, one of the richept and most pros perous places in the world. "The best the United States can do for Cuba and the Cubans is to give every opportunity for improving tne value of the land by putting it to the best uses. In this way capital could do an immense amount of good here as well as get large returns." General Wilson suggests supplying cattle for working purposes on a time basis, accepting regular rates of inter est, which should be about 1 per cent a month. "Cattle," says he, "can be landed here at a cost of $70 a yoke, which, once here, would bring more than 150. Large numbers of working cat tle are required by reliable and hard working men who are anxious to ob tain them." SUPPORTER OF QUAY. Carter Tells Why II Will Vote for the Pennsylvanlan. Washington, March 7. Carter dealt vigorously with the Quay case in the senate today, in the course of an ex- plauatin as to why he will vote for the ex-senator from Pennsylvania, notwith standing that he voted against the seat ing of Corbett in the last congress. The near approach of the time of voting on the conference report on the finan cial bill brought out two speeches on that measure, one by Fairbanks and the other by Butler. Thomas R. Bard, recently elected senator from Cali fornia, was presented to the senate by his colleague, PerkiiiB. Later the oath was administered by President Pro Tern. Frye. Considerable miscellaneous business, much of a minor character, was trans acted in the houBe today. During the consideration of a bill to incorporate the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, the speaker and Bailey, of Texas, exchanged sharp words, and the latter filibustered and ltimately prevented the final passage of the bill by demanding the reading of the engrossed bill.
