In 1901 by act of Congress, autonomous government was granted to take
effect in May of that year. It was relinquished by Spain preliminary
to negotiations at Paris, December 10, 1898, and was advanced to the
position of an independent state. The armed interposition of the United
States in its struggle for freedom had the effect of bringing the
island into close communication with the United States government.
A convention met November 5, 1900, to decide upon a constitution and
this was adopted February 21, 1901, according to which the form of
government of the island is Republican, with a President, Señor Estrada
Palma, Vice-President, Senor Estevez, a Senate, and a House of
Representatives. It was upon the adoption of this constitution that the
United States decided to pass over the government to the Island of Cuba
as soon as the government of that island should agree that it would
make no treaty with any foreign power which would endanger its
independence; to contract no debt greater than the current revenue
would suffice to pay; to grant the United States the right of
intervention, and also to give it the right to use its naval stations.
These conditions were accepted by Cuba June 12, 1901, and the President
and Vice-President of the Republic of Cuba were formally elected
February 24, 1902. There are at the present writing some slight
evidences of dissatisfaction with the present administration, but they
are of the ordinary political nature.
