IS THE SUGAR TRUST PROMOTING TROUBLE? It Is Hinted the Great Corporation Is Actively Working For the United States to tanex the Island. - Washington, May 15. Former Govroor of Cuba Magoon was a visitor at the capitol today. When asked for his opinion as to the probability or early Intervention ' by the United States in Cuba, and our reoccupation of the island, he hesitated for a moment, and was on the point of expressing an opinion when he checked himself and said : "I don't think it would be proper for me to discuss the subject : at this time." He showed no BUfriiBV, liu ncci , w licit iuiu vl hivj reported serious condition of public affairs in the republic. The general - feeling among the members of the house of representatives is that it will not be long before tne united states again intervenes in Cuban affairs, and that if this takes place the stars and stripes will "stay Sugar Trust Active. ' According to Information received by many members the trouble in Cuba Is being fomented by American Interests in the island. It was hinted that the sugar trust is back of the movement to secure annexation. It is explained that many of the smaller sugar plantations are now owned by Americans and that the labor employed by the Americans is well satisfied, but that the large sugar plantations owned by the, Spanish jfamllles and which . another are worked under the peon system... The fact that the laborers on the, AmericaA owned sugar plantations have money .to spend and are given privileges denied to the peons on other plantations has caused much trouble, and' Is largely responsible for the demand for the return of American authority to the island. , Work Up Sentiment. About one half of the people in Cuba, : more especially the - better element, to say nothing of the Americans who have millions of dollars invested there, are working up a sentiment for annexation." and it is this report says, that is causing the Cuban government officials to take little heed about meeting their financial obligations, for they have been given to understand that If the United States intervenes again it means that the island 'will ; remain American territory, and that all the debts contracted by the Cuban government will be paid by Uncle Sam., The prediction is being made tn the island that the United States will be back in Cuba within a year and to stay this time.
