WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—There 13 good reason to believe that the British government will view with favor the fornmtion of a commission to clear up vexatious questions between the United Stntes and Canada. The atti tude will he Important In the consum mation of the commission plan, for the best efforts of the United States and Canada toward a general settle ment could come to naught unless the Imperial government approved the ef forts and stood ready to give them of ficial execution In the form of a treaty. At first, the sharp differences aroused by the recent Bering sea meeting led o the belief that Great Britain might -land In the way of a commission which would discuss, among other questions, such Imperial subjects as lie tariff. England has been tenacious n holding the advantage secured by Canada's preferential British tariff, end it Is thought the colonial office it London would not view with favor my movement by a commission which would disturb this peaceful preferen •il tarifT. It appears, however, that the Brft I h authorities are sincerely anxious to ■lose up the various irritating ques ions which have long existed be tween Canada and the United States hrough the medium of a commission or otherwise, and that no Idea is en tertained that when the commission lealt with the Imperial subject of the tariff it would involve any disturbances of the Brltish-Canudlau tariff rela tions. There are said to be many arti cles, such as coal and fish, which are not exchanged between Great Britain and Canada. On such articles, there fore, any reciprocal arrangement be tween the United States and Canada would have no Influence In British trade in Canada. The home government In said to he fully conscious of the advantages which Canada may secure In the ex tensive American market lying along its borders and there is understood to he every desire to aid Canada in the enjoyment of reciprocal trade with this country. Alrouilv tho Hrilittli »rnliHKtnfif>r hn« been authorized from I,ondon to begin negotiations for reciprocity treaties between the United States and the British West Indian colonies. This is cited to show the favor which the lxindon authorities exhibit toward se i curing the best reciprocal advantages i for British colonies. It is said the same - view would prevail as to Canadian rec I iproclty. In any event, the work of a ■ commission would be preliminary only i and It wouild remain for the British ! government to give It effect by formal | treaty. I The subjects other than the tariff, such as border Immigration, fishing in j the lakes, etc., are not of an imperial character and concern only the United States and Canada. In these it is said that Great Britain has no in terest whatever, except to see them settled on terms satisfactory to Can ada The lake fisheries have been a i prolific source of trouble. It is claim ed that the fish of the lakes, particu larly the white fish, are being exter minated by the lax laws of some of the states borderclng on the lakes. The destruction of the fish is Bald to be an alogous to the destruction of the seals in Bering sea. and one of the subjects ! which Canada would urge before the commission would be the protection of the fisheries of the lakes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—A special to the World from Havana nays: In every town In Cuba where there are American citizens, groups of stall ing Islanders gather every day in front of the houses of those Americans and beg for the crumbs. That Ameii cans have anything on their tables from which crumbs could fall is due to the relief fund of $50,000 voted last spring by congress. Consul General late lias drawn so far about $25,000 of the total amount. There are 1,400 Americans on the re lief list. Of these about 250 are Atner Iran horn. The other® are naturalized citizens, und their families, who hav ing had their citizenship papers prop erly registered at the different l tilted States consulates, are entitled, if In distress, to the same iclief as Ameri can born citizens. According to a statement made by Consul Tinker, who Is stationed at Sa gua, about 10,000 people are being kept alive In Cuba by these rations, dis tribute:! for the support, of 1,400. Neighbors gather around the front door of the houses of American cit izens and beg a share of the food that comes from the consulates. Where suffering is general, these appeals are not. In vain, and the scant supply of rice, jerked beef and bread is made to do service for live instead of one. There are no markets in any but the bigger cities, because nothing Is produced to supply them, and no one lias money. Misery is universal, and suffering is everywhere, and the death rate goes up higher and higher each day. In the town of Sagtia, where . _ .1.1 . I ..... 14 <»li fWlIl the death list for five years before the war was 600 a year, in the month of August of this year H4S persona died of starvation alone. Consul Brice, stationed at Matan zas, reports that since .July 1, 27,000 persons have died in his district. Gen eral Blanco’s order's to allow the pa clfico's to cultivate land outside the military lines would diminish suffer ing, if the people had the strength and the Implements with which to work, hut they huve neither, and Wy ler's scheme to exterminate the people Is rapidly proving successful. It is generally believed in Havana that Blanco has received orders from Madrid to do everything possible to prevent starvation reports from go ing to the United States, and Minister Dupity de Gome has urged hint to is sue proclamations and orders that will convey the idea that the new regime ; will take care of the non-combatants, and stop the present appaling death rate. Cannot Coni* to Asrri inent. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—There is no immediate prospect of the conclu sion of reciprocity negotiations be tween the United States and France. Both governments have presented elaborate statistics to show their re spective positions in any reciprocity arrangement, but the matter has not progressed to the point where an agreement can be foreseen. Having presented the French side of the case from every standpoint. M. Pa tenotre, the French ambassador, lias now referred the question back to hin government and is awaiting instruc tions. He had hoped to conclude the j negotiations before departing to his new post at Madrid, but this seems hardly likely, owing to the many de- j lays which are occurring. He had expected to leave the lat ter part of this month, but may defer his trip until the latter part of De cember. Mme. Patenotre will not go until spring, owing to the severity of an ocean trip In midwinter. The new French ambassador. M. Gambon, will leave Paris December 15, arriving here about the first of the new year. Mme, Gambon will not come to this country during the first year of the ambassador's service. As the reciprocity question is now before the authorities at Paris it is likely that Mr. Gambon will receive personal instructions and come Here fully conversant with the question. In the course of the negotiations an intimation has been made by the United States officials that a relaxation of the French restrictions on Araeri- i can meat products would be helpful In forwarding the reciprocity agree- j ment.
