Annals-u. May Be Needed to Guide Cub all
Affairs for Some Time.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 24.—At the annu-
al dinner of the Massachusetts Club,
General Stewart L. Woodford was the
principal speaker. _

He reviewed the political history of
the present administration up to the
time when the Cuban question became
acute, and said that whatever might
be the difficulties of our present states-
manshlp. and the problems of the fut-
ure, it was at least certain that the
president and the Republican party
had kept faith with the people of the
country.

General Woodford spoke of his ap-
pointment as minister to Spain and of
the instructions which he received to
avert war if possible.

He sketched briefly the stormy ev-
ents which led up to the declaration
of war, and resulting in his leaving his
post.

“I frankly confess," he Said, “that I
do not believe that the inhabitants of
Cuba are qualified to administer a.
government, and I am constrained to
the personal belief that it will be nec-
essary to maintain the American oc-
cupation until such time as Americans,
Englishmen, Germans and Frenchmen
shall have gone into the island to ena-
ble the fever to be stamped out on one
side and good order established on the
other.

“I am afraid that we have assumed
a charge of care which will last lon-
ger than our friends in Congress drea-
med of when the war began."

To Exclude ‘A'meidcnn Moat. 3

Berlin, Oct. 24.—An American diplo-
mat, who is in a position to know the
inside facts of the case, discussing the
German proposition to practically ex-
clude American meat products from

“It is understood that there is dan-
ger of a meat inspection bill to exclude

texts. The agricultural epartment will
probably present a bill to Congress, if
American products are attacked, pro-
viding for the sanitary inspection of
adulterations of German wines and the
dangerous colors used in oys, woolens,
etc., and of the adulterat ons in dyes.

Many Americans hold that German
imports require careful sanitary lus-
pection in both countries. Their repre-
sentatives at Berlin and Washington
are anxious above everything to avoid
retaliatory measures. But there. is
good reason to suppose that they will
be entirely unsuccessful if the relch-
stag passes a. law of inspection, which
is a virtual prohibition, or if the pres-
ent system is continued.
