Show HAS MADE GOOD SHOWING. Cuba at Last Seems Capable of Self-Government. Self-Government. Havana While the first month in the life of the restored Cuban republic repub-lic has not been ne of achievement, it has at least not been marked by any incident calculated to confirm the prediction that the experiment of Cuban Cu-ban self-government was destined to a speedy failure. On the other hand, the government of General Gomez has still to present assurances of its ability wisely and firmly to direct the destinies of the island. Cubans of all parties seem for the time being determined de-termined to forget their political differences dif-ferences and pull together to avoid another American intervention. At the close of the provisional government, gov-ernment, one of the most prominent Americans expressed the fear that the Gomez administration would collapse within three months; but he added that if it survived it probably would endure indefinitely. |
