THE CUBA TREATY

Authorities Have Doubts About Being

WASHINGTON, D. C- Acting Sec
retary of State Loomis and Mr.
Queenan. the Cuban minister, after i
discussing the prospects of the ratifi
cation of the Cuban treaty -within the
time limit on Friday, decided to cable
President Palma requesting him to
call the Cuban congress into extraor-
dinary session immediatelv for this
purpose, as that bodv otherwise would , tce climatic conditions more favora

state department officials have some . certain that any resultant injury can
docbt as to their ability to do anything
whatever with the convention. The
amendments made br the senate, par
ticularly rhat added to the ratifying
article, though probably not so intend-
ed, may result in the complete loss of
the treaty. There are conflicting
clauses which it may not be possible
to reconcile. Article 11 provided orig-
inally that -the present convention
shaH be ratified by the authorities of
the respective countries and the ratifi-
cations shall be exchanged at Wash-
mcton. D. C as soon as may be be-
before January 31. 1503. and the con-
vention shall go into effect on the
tenth day after the exchange of rati
fications and shall continue in force
for the term of five years from the
date of going into effect, and from year
to year thereafter until the expiration
of one year from the day, when either
of the contracting parties shall give
notice to the other of its intention tc
terminate the same."'
' Usually it is provided that a treaty
shall go into effect as soon as the rat
ifications are exchanged, and with the
slight change in this respect the orig
inal ratifying clause ot the Cuban trea
ty was in the usual form and would
not have led to complications. The ,
date of January 31 was changed by
: both governments before the United j
. States senate acted to March 31. and ;
that is how the article stood when the
senate added this sentence:
.ffc-sr -This treaty shall not. take effect un
til the same shall have been approved
By the congress." !
This led to complications which are ,
I
now vexing the departments here.
where two different dates are fixed in
the same article for the taking effect
ot" the treaty The weight of opinion j
inclines to the belief that following I
the common law principle the last stip- j
. . illation should govern, which would de- f
.- - fer the operation or" the treaty until
after the congress acted. But a more
serines difficulty "s pointed out. as fol-1

to exchange ratifications of a docu
ment which is not a treaty, as this j
Cben convention will not be. in the ,
opinion of some of the state depart
ment people, until "the congress" has
set its approval upon it. If this view
is corroct. then the exchange of rat
: Ificartons will have to be deferred un
til next winter at the earliest, and this
delay, it is thought, would cause the
failure of the treaty in its present
form, because or" the inability of the
negotiators to met the requirement
at article 11. which demands that th
exchange take place before March 31.

He Declares that the President is

WASHINGTON The race question

feeling in the south, he said, that no
colored man should held oface.
It was the inherent and constitu
tional right of a great community, he
declared, to have its mail handled
regularly. Letters which were ad-
dressed to important county officers
residing at Indianola had been sent
to Greenville, and rhus an unwarrant -
able interference with the liberty and
rights of the people had been perpe-
trated.
If it was intended to punish the peo
ple of Indianola the punishment had
gone far enough. The dapartment
had shown to the world its authority
and nobody had disputed it. Now it
was time for the postmaster general
to do all he could to heal the breach. I demand for German money continues.
He declared that of all the appoint- ' The impression prevails among Ber

of social equality of the negro, but
there could never be any social equal-

Answering Mr. Foraker, he
that these recent appointments had re- !
vived the race question, and that the '
people of the south had heretofore '
tolerated negro office holders. "This
white man's country." said he, "has
been carved out of the wilderness and
conquered from the Indian, not for the '
African, but for the white man.' I
Mr. Foraker asked if his objection
to colored people holding office ex
tended to all offices, and whether it ,
would include the enlistment of col- '
ored men in the arar. In reply Sen- .
ator Monev disclaimed any virulent 1
objection to black soldiers, but de- '
dared it would be better if no col
ored man held any official position
whatever. '
"Would you disfranchise the negro?" '
asked Mr. Foraker, "and if so. should -that
be taken into account in fixing

"That is another question." said Mr.
Ione;
but the participation of the I

dangerous." '
"Is the demand of the south." in-
quired Mr. SDoaner. "that the nrpsi-

TREATY JATIFIED
SENATE GRANTS RECIPROCITY
AND THE SESSION ENDS.
LY SIXTEBI VITES ACJUKT
:
tismmittss Amendments Are AH
Adopted, Though Others Fail to Ob
tain Sufficient Support to Proposed
Changes in the Treaty.
WASHINGTON After ratifying
the Cuban reciprocity treaty the sen
ate adjourned sine die at 5:15 on
Thursday.
nacucaiiv tne entire tiay was spent
behind closed doors in executive ses-
sion Most of the time was devoted
to consideration of the Cuban treaty.
Several speeches were made in oppo-2rftfim-smr-oe
'in-faror. and then,
promptly ar the agreed hour, 3 o'clock,
voting began.
Roll calls were taken on a number
of amendments and the treaty itself
was made the subject of a vote, the
motion to ratify being adopted by 50
to 16, somewhat more than a three
fourths vote.
Immediately after the doors were
closed, at a few minutes past 11. Sen
ator Foster (La.) took the floor in on-
position to the treaty. In the main
his speech was an appeal for the pro
tection of American sugar. He spoke
especially for the can sugar inter
ests of Louisiana, but said the beet
sugar interests had grown to such
proportions that many other states
were coming to have a pronounced in
terest in the making of sugar.
He drew a graphic picture of pres
ent conditions in Louisiana and said
the ratification of the treaty would be
liable to be disastrous to many of his
constituents. He appealed to sena
tors from north and south alike to re
frain from inflicting this hardship on
his people.
He raised the point that there was
nothing to prevent the introduction
of Chinese labor into Cuba, with which
American labor could not compete.
Senator Berry based his opposition
on the amendment providing against
any further reduction by treaty of
the duty on sugar while the treaty re
mains in force.
Senator Carmack opposed on gener-
, al principles, declaring it was con
trary to the American theory of gov
ernment. Senator Simmons was the only dem
ocrat who advocated ratification. He
said he spoke for the United States
ana cat for Cuba, refusing to accept
the theory that the United States was
under any- obligations to Cuba. But
he believed the treaty would add to
Cuba's prosperity and American ex
ports to the island, which now amount

which would be quite sufiicient to

When Mr. Simmons concluded vat-1

PASS THE TREATY.
Ratifies the Protocol
With
Colombia.
WASHINGTON. The senate met at
11 o'clock Tuesday and went into ex
ecutive session after the journal Tras
read and approved.
Shortly after the doers were closed
Mr. Money offered a substitute for the
fourth article of the treaty, which dis
avows any intention on the part of the
United States to increase its territory
at the expense of South or Central
America.
Senators Bacon, Teller. Daniel. Mor
gan. Bailey and others contended for
an impartial recognitnon of all Amer
ican republics, urging that under the
i
i U3
e of the fourth article of the
treaty Mexico would be lert as the only
American republic to which the avowal
of non-encroachment could be held as
non-applicable. Senators Spctmer and
Hoar replied, contending that there
was practicaly no difference between
the language of the amendment and
of the article.
' The amendment was then defeated
by 25 to 27.
Senator Daniel then offered an
amendment providing that the treaty
should not take effect until L had been
approved by congress.
The fact was soon apparent that he
offered his amendment for the purpose
of making a general speech on the
treaty, and when the fifteen minute3
allowed him had expired and the
amendment was voted down. Senator
Morgan presented four or five of his
amendments, which were each in turn
defeated, but upon all of which Sen
ator Daniel continued to speak. AIL
told he spoke for about an hour.
His speech was an arraignment of
Ihe republican policy in pressing the
treatv with what he asserted was un
due haste. He referred to the enorm
ous expenditure that would be required
to construct -the canal and charged
recklessness in rushing into such an
enterprise.
Mr. Morgan asserted that senators
were not thinkinz for themselves, but
following blindlv in the lead of the
secretary of state. They were prac-
ticaliy surendering their own offices
,in order to maintain a reputation for
party allegiance.
When it became apparent that the
fifteen-minute speeches had been can
eluded. Senator Morgan surprised the
senate by presenting all the fifty
