WILL NOT DOWN. imperiaiiam VViii Continuo io b* Important Usu?. EX-SENATOR EDMUNDS Says the People Have Not Yet Settled lt, and Hts Party Must Answer for Ita Mmtakos. ID an oxtondod inlorviow publishod in tho Boston Ilcrald Monday lastFor Unitod Statos Sonator Edmundo, of Vormont, outlined his viows in rc gard to tho futuro of Cuba, Porto ltioo and tho PhilippiuoB, in a mannor dearly indioating his boliof that im porialism will continuo to bo an hsuo in this country and that tho llopubli oan party will oontinuo to labor undor diffioultioi arising from thoso now pos aosions. "I think tho govornmont's oourao in rogard to Ouba has boon wrong and uunoooBsary. Wo havo not mado good our promisos to Ouba, and thoro was nothing to provont us from doing so. Wo premised to givo tho Cubans thoir freedom and would have stood muoh bottor in tho oyoa of tho world and in our own oBtimation if wo had dono BO. "My plan would havo boon to givo thom oomploto indopondonoo, as wo promisod to do; lot thom sot up their government, then tonio timo along iu tho winter, perhaps, or boforo thoy had had timo to got into any foreign entan glements or oontraot any dobts, wo could havo gono to thom and explain od our position in tho mattor. Wo could have told thom that in order to protook oura obos we munt havo somo arrange ment by whioh thoy oould not mako any al?ianooa with other nations with out tho government of tho United States boing consul tod; that wo had Bet thom froo, and it was nooosaury for us to BOO to it that our rights woro pro tooted. Wo oould doal with thom aa a ropublio and havo somothing in tho nature of a treaty that would inburo us all tho protootion nooosaary and if thoy rofusod to onter any suoh an arraugo mont, it would bo ucoossary and right for UB to insist upon it, to toll thom firmly that they must a groo to it or tako tho oonsequonooB. That would havo boon my idea of it, instead of re fusing to fulfill our promiaos, and not giving thom an opportunity to nay whether or not wo should oontrol their foreign rolations." "Considering tho amount of Ameri can oapital that is boing invoBtcd in Ouba, and that our rolations to tho Cu bans will bo in a moasuro similar to thoso whioh existed botwecn England and tho Transvaal, do you think there is any dangor of a liko troublo in Cuba? ' "Nc, I should disliko to oomparo anything to that horriblo Transvaal af fair, but I do think it likoly that wo may lm\d a repetition of tho oxperi onoos Amerioans aro having in Vono zuola," said Mr. Edmunds. "Tako thoso asphalt affaira, for inatanoo. It is nothing but roaaonablo to cxpoot that wo will havo to deal with Cuba as wo do with somo of tho South American ropublios." "In my opinion wo havo moro to fear from Porto ltioo than from Ouba. Porto Itio? is a part of tho Unitod 9tatos, and it will probably not bo long boforo it ia flooded with ambitious lawyers and other oarpet-baggors, who will noon bo in oontrol of ito affairs to a groator or loss oxtout. Thon thoro will como a timo when tho politioal parties will havo to oonsidor tho ques tion of admitting Porto llioo into the Union. Tho oarpot-baggera and othora will find tho conditions woiso than wo ever had with any of tho Kooky moun tain territorioB that havo booomo statos. Wo will havo muoh worao pooplo to der) with than tho Populists of tho woat. "Thia will bo duo, in moasuro, to tho fact that Amorioans, or any of th 3 northern raoos, oan not retain thoir en ergy in warm olimatos; their ohildien do no not live, whilo tnoao of tho na tivoa multiply; tho northornor bcoomoa a vory different man, ho booomos vonal. I am afraid that whon Porto ltioa is ready to bo admitted into tho Union tho isla id will bo in tho hands of mon of this olass. Thon what do wo find? Sho will have tho samo representation in the Unitod Statos sonato an doos Now York. 8ho will probably sond two flonatora, roprosontatives of tho olasa I havo dosoribod. Thoy will bo vonal and purohaaablo and roproBO.nt^a pooplo so difforont from Amorioans that it Booms to mo, taking this viow of it, that thia ia tho groator dangor wo havo to foar from Porto ltioo." 'Thon what you say about Ameri cana .in Ouba would apply to thom in tho Philippines?" .'Yes, although conditions in tho Philippinen aro in many rospoots vory difforont. Thoso islands aro farther away, and wo will probably havo lo maintain an armed foroo thoro for a number of yearn. Thoro will always bo moro or IOBS guerilla warfaro going on thoro, and wo will bo in somowhat tho esme position that England is in India, whoro sho is always finding it UOOOB sary to suppress an uprising of ono sort or anothor. England's oxpoiionoo in India has boon muoh tho samo as ours will bo in Porto ltioo and tho Phillippinos, that i), in rogard to tho mon who aro sont out to thoso coun tries. It is a well known faot that the ohildron of Eaglishmon in India do not live to bo moro than two years old, and it is now tho ouatoni to sond thom te England whon vory young. Tho oli mato affoots tho Englishman in tho mannor in whioh I havo dosoribod, and thon, boing far away from homo, he will do things that ho otherwise would not, BO that thoro is als,cys corruption - in tho management of affairs." Then you 'dt> not think our oxpori onoo in tho Philippines has boon worth tho onormous ooat?" "That would do pond on how you tried to balanoo tho aoaount," said Mr. Edmunds. "If you put against tho ooBt tho less of lifo, tho hardship our sol diers havo undorgono and tho corrup tion that is likely io dovolop amoog mon BO far away, and undor suoh condi tions, I certainly do not think it has boon worth tho oost."
