CUBAN COMMISSION.
General Garcia and Other Members
Call at the White House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The mem
bers of the Cuban Commission headed
by General Garcia, called at the White
House at 2:40 this afternoon and were
soon ushered into the Cabinet room
where they were received by the Pres
ident. The meeting, however, was en-
tirely informal and unofficial in char
acter It lasted an hour and half.
The greeting of the President was
very cordial, but the distinguished
Cubans were received as citizens Of
Cuba, and not as having an official
status. Nothing could be learned at
the White House as to the subject of
the conversation.
Senor Quesada, who presented Gen
eral Garcia and the other members of
the committee to the President, and
acted as an interpreter in the confer
ence that followed, said this evening
that the interview was entirely salts
factory to both the members of the
commission and the President.
This evening Major General Miles,
commander of the army, called upon
General Garcia at the hotel. The call
was unofficial The two soldiers spent
pleasant half hour together.

SENATOR HALE OF MAINE.
Opposed to Peace Treaty Being
Formulated at Paris.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Senator Eu-
gene Hale of Maine, to-day announced
his opposition to the peace treaty which
is being formulated in Paris. He is
opposed to the acquisition of the Phil
ippines, and his antagonism to the
treaty will be based upon that section
Of the treaty which deals with the
Philippine question.
1.-The negotiation of the treaty, un-
fortunate as it is" said the Senator to-
day, .by no means insures the actual
annexation of the Philippines. 1t is
uncertain when the treaty will sbe
signed, or when it will be Submitted to
the Senate, and stiH more uncertain
whether it will ever be ratified. The
responsibility is so vast and the solici-
tude of the public is so great that am
pie time will be given to its discussion
and to getting the real facts before the
American people.
Many things will be found out which
are not now known, and the evils of the
proposed annexation will SO grow upon
the public mind and upon Congress, and
upon the President, that it is by no
means unlikely that Within six months
or a year every body, instead of being
for annexation Of, the islands will want
to be rid of them.
''The people Of the United States will
find out that the commerce of the Phil
ippines is very limited in extent that
they are inhabited by a people whose
habits and wants forbid an increase
of trade, and that under the scheme of
annexation presented to US this trade
is to be shared equally with 4pain and
all other competing nations. What is
called the open door policy cuts down
the interest of the United States in the
Philippine trade to point where it
makes no figure in our commerce. The
entire trade of the islands, If we had 1t
aIl-not the profit derived from it. but
the whole amount. of @-ade-will not in
any year pay the expenses of the army
and the navy that the United States
will be obliged to maintain there.

IN A BAD PLIGHT.
a Woman Who is Penniless Among
Strangers.

Last night a woman named Mrs. G.
B. Nichols applied for and was given
a place to sleep at the police station.
She had only 40 cents and wished to
save it instead of paying for lodging
at a. hotel.
Mrs. Nichols tells a sad story, one
that if true-and she seems to- be a
truthful person entities her to the
prompt consideration Of some of the
charitable societies that are supported
by the public that they may assist
worthy persons who are in distress.
She says she came from Iowa to
join her husband over in Nevada, but
when she reached there she could not
find him. She managed to get as far
as this city, where she landed without
means and suffering from rheumatism
The police station is no place for
her, and her case should be inquired
into.
