Have Gathered Small Satisfaction
From Their Visit to the
National Capital.
Mckinley Tells Them to Go Form a
Government and Discuss Rela-
tiOns With Us Afterwards.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Cuban
delegation completed it's labors in Wash
ingtOn today. In the morning the dele
gates met Secretary Root, who escorted
them to the White house, where they had
final and decisive talk with the presi-
dent. Then they paid visits of courtesy
to each of the officials whom they nave
met, and finally they started for New
York at II o'clock tonight, homeward
bound. They will sail for Havana
Wednesday. The proceedings at the
White house was interesting. Senor
Capote acted as spokesman for the dele
cation. He thanked the president for the
many courtesies shown them, which they
accepted as expressions of good will to
the Cuban people. He invited the presi-
dent to visit Cuba to see for himself the
conditions in the island and learn from
contact with the inhabitants of the love
and affection which Cubans have for the
United States, and their appreciation Of
what has been done for them by this
government in their struggle for free
dom.
Senor Capote asked the president to do
something for the Cubans upon an econ
omic line, especially in the matter OF
reciprocal trade relations. He said that
1t was especially desirable to have some
thing Of this kind done before the next
crop was harvested, in order that the
Cubans may realize the advantages to
them of closer political and economic
relations with the United States.
UP TO THE CUBANs.
In reply the president said it was i'm
possible to settle the economic questions
until the political questions We're dispos-
ed of. He told the delegates first to form
their government and then they would be
In position to enter into the negota-
tions with the United States to trade r.
lations
Senor Capote responded tnat something
ought to be done while the Cuban gov
ernment was forming. He thought that
while the United States was exerc' Sing
control there might be arrangements pr
fected similar to those under contempla-
ton by the secretary of war in 1893 wien
the government first passed under the
control of the United States. He tod
the president that the Cuban republic d a
not wish to be born in poverty and rage,
and if il could not be wealthy it wouli at
least prefer to have something with
which to support itself and to have it's
people in prosperous conditions Or with
prosperous conditions Immediately before
them.
The president again reverted to the fact
that under the present conditions, as the
secretary Of war had advised them he
did not see how it was possible to settle
any economic questions before the Cuban
government was formed. He would an
point commissioners for the Cuban gov
ernment for reciprocal trade arrange
ments, and he believed the United States
would be ready to deal in a manner
which would be beneficial to both coun-

REICHSTAG BALKS.
The Vossische Zeitung commenting @
the socialist May l proclamation point
out that revolutionary appeals have be-
come co-workers for the benefit Of the
state. Although the emperor and Count
Won Buelow strongly favor the German
East Africa railway there seems little
chance that the bill will pass, certainly
not in it's present shape. The canal bill
is still dragging in the diet. One Of the
Conservative leaders, Baron Won Seidlitz
is opposed to the bill. The Conservative
Herold is opposed to 1t. The Centrists
this week proposed to the government
compromise measure which the emperor
projected. The midland canal Is entire
ly omitted. The government declared It
was impossible to accept it. The COM
mittee now freely confesses the design
not to dispose Of the bill before it's mem
bers know precisely how the new tariff
bill promotes Agrarian interests. The
Hamburger Nachrichten says the origin
al government proposal fixing the maxi
NAL and minimal duties had been aban-
doned, wherewith, If true, the agrarian
hopes are destroyed. In the Diet, a new
agrarian measure was introduced direct
international colonization board in every
province composed Of two-thirds agra
rians and one-third officials for the pur-
chase of large bankruptcy estates and to
sell them again in small lots At the
beginning each board gets 1A,0o0,N0
marks as capital, but this amount can
be increased. DR.. Won Miguel, minister
of finance, said such a plan was not ac-
ceptable to the government.

1t is reported here and confirmed from

The correspondent of the Associated

said nothing was known here officially
in regard to the alleged combination Of
the United States, France and Russia
to compel Germany to reduce her claim
in China
"The whole story is absurd he said.
'If the claims must be scaled Russia
should be the first to begin, since she
makes the largest claim. Germany can
verify the correctness Of hers, mark by

Discussing the source OF Chinas bor-
rowings the Official referred to said: THE
United States authorities have been in
formed that many rich private Chinese
are ready to lend money to the govern

MUTUAL ADMIRATION.
Senior Capote, speaking Ito Sec. etary
Root, expressed the hope that in his n
terviews that had been held, he had said
nothing, in his earnestness and argument
which was in any way offensive. The sec
retary replied that, on the contrary, he
highly appreciated the arguments OF
Senor Capote, and his knowledge of the
questions had increased his adnli. a i n
and respect for the legal abilities eni
keenness of the Cuban people. The dele
gates shook hands with the president and
departed.
Gen. Capote later said to an AssC c,ated
Press reporter:
We have concluded our business here
We have had two interviews with e
