WASHINGTON, July 27. A good
deal of surprise lias been caused in
official circles hero by tho unexpected
opposition developing In Franco to
tho ratification of tho reciprocity
treaty Just negotiated by Mr. Kasson
and M. Cambon. It is not deemed
expedient now to make public tho do-
talls of the convention, but It can bo
stated authoritatively that In tho
opinion of our own ofllclnls tho French
havo driven a hnrd bargain In mak
ing tho treaty. They have, It Is said,
secured moro advantages than they
had any Just renson to expect nt the
beginning of tho negotiations and
that success was ultimately obtained
Ib owing to the fact that the negotia
tors folt bound to observe tho behest
of the president and make u treaty
at all hazards.
It is suspected hero that tho French
pooplo aro not awaro of tho actual
valuo of tho concessions they havo ob
tained and thoro Is reason to bellovc
then when tho champagne makors
learn tho amount of boneflt thoy aro
to receive tho opposition to tho con
summation of the treaty will bo at
onco transferred from Franco to tho
United Stntes.
Tho statement made by M. Delcasso,
French minister for foreign affairs,
that tho treaty contains tho favored
nation clause Is suld to bo misleading
to the public, for what it docs con
tain in that direction Is a special
provision in the ense of certain lines
of articles of Import, that If tho rate
of duty Is reduced below tho figures
stated to any other nntlon, them
Franco shall havo tho samo rate But
this provision Is not gonoral and ap
plies, as stated, only to certain speci
fied articles. It Is bellovod that under
this head, however, tho French chum-
pngno makers will profit, for, while
tho treaty Lsolf docs not glvo thorn
tho rate desired, yet thoy probably
may profit by tho low rato Just given
to tho Portugucno makors of spark
ling wine.
It Is appreciated that tho opposi
tion In Paris comes from very Influ
ential quarters. Tho Ropubllquo
Francalso, which makes n bitter at
tack on the treaty, Is directed by M.
Mellno, former premier, and ono of
tho most capablo leaders In French

HAVANA, July 27. In nn Interview
with Gcnernl Gomez, printed In La
Aicha, tho Cuban commander was
quoted as Baying:
Never has a plague more afflicting
fallen on Cuba than tho $3,000,000 nak
ed from President McKlnley for tho
Cuban soldiers. Tho money has beon
the cause of 111 will among thoso who
by right nnd Justlco should be eter
nally united.
"Tho history of tho money Is cu-
riouB. It was thought at first that It
ought not to have been received, as it
wns a dishonor to tho Cubans. Tho
aspect Is changed now and it should
cause pain to seo wandering through
Havana soldiers begging for what It
was supposed they would refuse with
serenity.
"The formation of the supplement
ary lists of persons Incapacitated In
tho wur and the work of payment haa
nlroady coat $0,000. ThlB money wna
furnished by Governor General IJrooko
as tho Cubans do not possess tho
ground upon which they tread. Thoso
who do not know the work and the
expenso Involved nro naturally impa
tient nnd hold responsible some one
who In no way helped to get tho money
nor asked any ono to receive It.
"Thoso whoso names appear on tho
supplementary lists should not bo
paid beforo thoso who are on the orig
inal list, so as to preserve order.
"Aa tho monoy wns tho gift of tho
Amcricnn government, I am pained by
tho interest shown by my soldiers, who
were trained to go hungry on their
march to liberty. Tho government
will pay them, but when Is not cer
tain. Impatience will not further tho
matter."
El Dlarlo do la Marina says editor
ially In today's issuo that tho working
classes in Havana aro In bad condi
tion. Tho cost of living In tho city
is very high, owing to the extravagant
tendencies of tho upper classos having
raised prices. Tho upper classes have
been nblo to get money easily, tho
paper says, on account of tho natural
rlchncsa of tho Cuban soil, but tho ne
cessities of life, including the securing
of clean, comfortable houses, nre out
of tho reach of tho poor, who, there
fore, aro forced to live under bad, un-
healthful conditions, nlthough they arc

Tho matter has aroused considerable
feeling nmong nnval ofllclnls and the
board of construction hns divided Into

extent of authority and responsibility
of tho chief constructor nnd tho deslr
ability of having his bureau pas3 upon

Secretary Herbert placed the respon
