I do not know that the people of Cuba want to be annexed to the United States, aud I do not know that the people of this country want to have Cuba.

Cuba will be given absolute independence, with a good stable government. "In arranging "?or a constitutional convention General Wood and I will talk about the districts to be made In Cuba for the election.
