Havana Will Never Be Given Up and He Sees No Reason Why United States Should Want Cienfuegos Either WASHINGTON Senor Quesada Cuban minister to the United States in commenting on the negotiations now being conducted for a commercial treaty between Cuba and this country said on Friday The reciprocity treaty Is a purely commercial convention and has abso lutely nothing to do with the Piatt amendment The Cuban government has been studying the draft of the treaty submitted by Mr Hay and has been consulting the different Interests in the island and the custom house re ceipts and in due time will return it with observations suggested and modifications It has been shown by past experience during the reciprocity arrangement under Mr Blaine that commerce between the two countries materially increased and it is expected that under any other reciprocal ar rangement trade will be still greater than it was ten years ago at which time it reached upward of 100000 000 He said the best of feeling existed between Cubans and Americans and found the proof in the fact that every steamer arriving at Cuban ports brought a great great many American investors who not only were putting money in the island but were estab lishing more themselves He spoke of the popularity of Mr Squiers and the gratitude of the Cu bans to the United States for services rendered When asked regarding the proposed coaling stations in Cuba he said four days before President McKinley was shot he had at the instance of Estrada Palma gone to Canton and secured a solemn promise that while he was pres ident Mr McKinley would not give his consent to the establishment of a naval station at Havana and that President Roosevelt knew of the promise Continuing he said President Palma would never have gone to Havana the Cuban capital where a diplomatic corps was established while a foreign flag was flying over the city He could not see the necessity for a coaling station at Cienfuegos which had been recommended by Admiral Bradford chief of the bureau of equip ment in view of its proximity to Guan tanamo which also was recommended as a coaling station MUSTERING OUT GUARDSMEN Tecumseh Company Has

hours Talk Union Pacific Strike NEW YORK The directors of the Union Pacific met here Thursday and discussed the demands of the train men who have threatened to strike No decision was made public TREATY OF CUBA Belief that it Will Be Ready for Next Congress WASHINGTON The fact recorded in the news dispatches from Havana Tuesday that President Palma has re turned to Washington the draft of the reciprocity treaty without his approval has not shaken the belief of the offi cials here that they will have a treaty ready to submit to congress by the date of its next meeting As soon as Mr Quesada the Cuban minister hero receives the document he avIII submit it to Secretary Hay Negotiations will then be continued on the basis of the original draft Gen erally stated the Cuban objections are based on a belief that the United States has demanded undue conces sions in the remissions of duties on United States products entering Cuba ranging all the way from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in return for a 20 per cent cut on Cuban sugar and tobacco coming into the United States As the difference is one strictly of figures and not of principle it is tho opinion at the State department that it can be settled amicably If not and the Cuban government insists upon terms that the State department cannot grant the two countries will simply drift along without any trade treaty of any kind As Cuba will un doubtedly be the principal sufferer it is expected here that it will be the first to make another advance toward a treaty There has been an important change in the program respecting the whole fabric of Cuban treaties It had been originally intended to perfect a reci procity treaty before undertaking to deal with other relations that must be defined by treaty As it is now seen that the subject of reciprocity is one that will require considerable time for its disposition the govern ment here is about to undertake ne gotiations looking to the arrangement of an extradition treaty which is very much needed inasmuch as Cuba threatens to become a sink hole for American criminals Also the navy is pressing for the coaling stations promised under the terms of the Piatt amendment There fore the Cuban government willl be at once invited to open negotiations on this point It is not expected that this can be done without some friction because there has been a growing dis clination on the part of the Cubans to the idea of surrendering coal sta tions to the United States LOUBET COPIES ROOSEVELT French President Tries to Settle the Miners Strike PARIS President Loubet is
