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.

THOUSANDS STARVING.
Pitiable Condlt'.oa »t the Cubans In
Tow im on Iwlaml.
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.

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.
