The silence of the inaugural address on some points, however, is as significant as its utterances. It says nothing as to Cuba and Hawaii. It is suspected that if Hawaii desires annexation now the United States will accept, while in Cuba Mr. McKinley will interfere in behalf of the independence of the Cubans and then should popular suffrage vote for annexation he will attempt it. Foreign complications are liable to grow out of the tariffs, but in that the administration be counted to hold to its policy.
