This bill says. and the principal part of the bill is. that Cuba shall not be filled up with coolies. Asiatics. or Africans. and it is vital to her. Now. gentlemen talk of annexation. I do not believe in annexation nowI nay disagree with other people in the HouseI do not believe in it now. If Cuba were filled wvith Americans and Americanized. I might say "yes. " until then I say "no." I will say w.hat may appear a curious thing at first blush. namely. that annexation would hurt Cuba more than it would hurt the United States at the present time.
