mas Cardinal Objection is 10 Lasa6fcencp Of Rebate Of
20 Per Gent Proposed be AHoued on Insul,r hunoyts

Washington, Nov, l2,-An important
conference bearing on the subject Of
Cuban reciprocity was held at the war
department today, the participants be-
ing Secys Hay and Root and Cen
LGsker Bliss. The latter was called
into the conference at Secy Hays sug-
gostion because Of his expert know-
edge Of the existing Cuban tariff Be
fore the conference at the war depart
ment Secy. Hay had talked on this sub
Ject with Senator Culom chairman Of
the senate committee on foreign rea-
lions, and also with Senior Quesada, the
Cuban minister here, Senior Quesada
was not able TO submit to Secy. Hay
the draft OF the reciprocity treaty,
which has been under consideration so
long by the authorities OF Havana as
the documents have not yet left that
place,
Seml-ohlcially the United States
government continues IN ignorance Of
the extent and character Of the
changes. II any, which President Palma
may desire to make Ia the treaty
In other than official sources how
ever has developed pretty clearly tbs
disposition Of the cuban president in
this matter. The cardinal objection OF
President Palma to the treaty as Il
stands Is the insufficient rebate OF 20
per cent proposed TO be allowed on Gu
ban imports into the United States,
and Secy. Hays purpose 10 10 ascertain,
II possible, how far he can yield In that
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-11-12

matter, and still be able TO RELY unon
the support of Congress next session
Wheh the treaty Is submitted. SO far
MS adVlces do not favor any increas,
OF the rebates and, indeed. he has been
assured by some persons with whom he
mas talked that under no conditions
would Congress consent 10 any substap-
tial Increase of this rebate.
II Is understood that the Cubans. too.
are entirely unwilling to accept any
small increase, In the face Of great
shortage IN the European crop and a
rapidly rising market, they have ac-
duired confidence In their ability TO get
along for an indefinite period OF time
without reciprocity with the United
States, and 80 It is Understood they
are showing an indifference In the
prosecution OF the treaty negotiations
which Is serving In turn to stimulate
the Efforts Of our own negotiators.
President Palma makes the point
that conditions have changed In Cuba
so that whereas the 20 per cent rebate
might have served when II was first
proposed, II would AZ present afford so
little relief as not TO warrant the sac
rifce OF Cuban revenues that would be
involved In It's acceptance. Secy. Hay
has determined TO clear UP that point,
and 10 that end. after talking with
Secy, Bliss should be sent at once TO
Cuba TO make pr 'onal investigation
Of the industrial y alton, and the fis-
cal possibilities OF "a island. So II IL
improbable that ding his return
from his Cuban the state depart
ment can adyanc treaty negotia-
tIons In any way.
