MR. COOPER TALKS OF CUBA
Spaniards Are Annexationists, but
Cubans Want independence.
Washington, March 26.— Representa¬
tive Henry Cooper of Wisconsin, chair¬
man of insular affairs committee of the
house of representatives, who has just
returned from Cuba, believes that the
chief danger in the Cuban situation is
the policy of depreciation of the island¬
ers which has been pursued in some
newspapers. He considers this as ac-
counting for most of the misunderstand¬
ing and ill feeling.
“I went everywhere and talked with
.everybody I could find,” said Mr.
Cooper, “Spaniards and Cubans, men
and women. I found that the Spaniards
are annexationists. The Cubans are al¬
most unanimously in favor of independ¬
ence, even those of them who believe
that annexation is inevitable in the long
run. They want to try it for awhile,
anyway, because, as they said to me,
‘we want to show the world that we are
not thieves, bandits and cutthroats. f tl

Coffee coumv are ar war over the
ownership 01 timber land- around Nich-
oils, and the leeiiug lias reached the
danger mark. During the past month
no less than 25 saws have been ruined
Gt the big mill, seven of them being de-
gtroyed Saturday. One man employed
by the company has been notified that
he must leave at once or suLer the con¬
sequences. He says that lie expects to
be assassinated at any time, but does
not propose to b© frightened off.
People in that part of the county are
go intensely bitter against the Southern
Pine company that bloodshed is feared
by the more law abiding element. It
seems that the company is having tim-
ber cut on lands claimed by others, and,
in order to get even, holes have been
bored in the trees and railroad spikes,
plow points, iron pipes, etc., have been
driven in, then the holes being plugged
up with wood. When the saw strikes
these pieces of iron it is ruined,
There is great danger of employes of
the m ib being fatally injured by the
bursting of the saws, and unless the
trouble is settled soon it is liable to
re ach dangerous proportions.
