Washington, April 1.--Senator Proc
tor, of Vermont, who has just returned
from Cuba. says he found disposition
among many leading Cubans to accept

attitude Of Ii Hung Chang IL accounted
for BY his well known friendliness Tor
Russian interests. In this case, now,
ever, there appears to be arrayeu
against him the strong influence OF the
southern viceroys, Chan Chi Tung and
Lila Kun III. who oppose the signing OF
the treaty. The reports reaching mere
this morning showed that the agree
ment had not yet been signed. It's sta
tus ID most peculiar. The time within
which It was to be signed expired last
Tuesday, but on that day Yang Yu, the
Chinese minister. fell IN the legation,
and hurt his head so that he was UNI
able 10 transact business. This misfor-
tune caused much amusement here and
some irritation In certain quarters as
II had been recognized as a timely
means Of avoiding direct action on
the subject. It Is not clear to what ex-
tent the Russian intimation has gone
but In any event II gives an urgency
to Chinas course which has not been
presented thus far.
