Alexandria, Egypt, March 2.—Cecil
Rhodes, who, in the eyes of most English-
men, is the incarnation of the imperilistlc
policy, views concerning the future of
the United States even more far reaching
than most American Imperialists have
broached. Mr. Rhodes, In conversation
witha representative of the Associated
Press, predicted most confidently thnt
within a century the United States would
have advanced the work begun In evac-
uation oif Cuba until it controlled all of
the hemisphere except Canada. The sub-
stance of the conversation Is reproduced
Without absolute verbal accurracy.
Mr. Rhodes expressed admiration for
the work already done In Cuba and pre-

feeling has grown among military nij'-n

The fact that today's session of the as-

openly that the Cubans have not enough
