FEARS FOR THE NAVY
Admiral Beresford Says it Could
Not Withstand Defeats
Like Army.

London. March 14.-Tn his address
today. before the London chamber Of
commerce on the lack of administrative
efficiency IN the British organization
Cor defense. Rear Admiral Charles
Beresford remarked that initial naval
reverses. similar to the military re-
verses experienced in South Africa,
would entail disasters which would be
irreparable and which would be eternal
in their effect. 1t was lack of organiza-
ton which led to the remount and
other scandals. His plan for insuring
naval efficiency included the addition
to the board of admiralty of a naval
war lord Of the admiralty who would
be responsible for placing before par
lament the full requirements Of the
navy.
The Asvernment. Lord Charles added,
ought to purchase coal fields at home
and in the colonies. All warships, use
less for fighting purposes or valueless
on account of lack of speed, ought to
be abolished The reserves ought to
be TeOrganized. and as early as pos
sible the whole war fleet should be
modified. to test its organization and
discover its weak points.
1nstancing the shortage of coal at
some Of the principal stations. Lord
BeresfOrd said he had succeeded, after
much obstruction. in finding out how
inadequate were the supplies at Glib
raltar and Malta. When he repre-
/ scented this state of affairs to his chief
/ he had to threaten to haul down his
[ flag and publish the whole business in
| the newspapers in order to get the
matter Temedied.

REBATE FOR CUBANS
Plan Said to Be Popular AL
though No Agreement Is
Reached
yVTAsHINGTON, March 14-Mem-

VTTASHINGTON, March 14.-Mem-
w bers of the ways and means
committee stated with positive
ness today that the conferences now
in progress would result in "a cOmpro-
mise agreement in the Cuban rec
iprocity issue, probably on the lines
Of 20 per cent concession for one or
two years.
On the other hand. some of the con-
ferees representing the element op-
posed to the ways and means, stated
that while an amicable adjustment
undoubtedly would be reached, there
would be no consent to any plan in
volving a reduction of tariff. Repre-
sentative FOrdney Of Michigan. one Of
the conferees, takes this view, and has
favored the conference plan by which
there should be 20 per cent reduction
of the Cuban duties on goods going
into Cuba and IN return, the payment
to cuba out of the United States treas
ury of an amount equal to 20 per cent
of the duties on cuban goods coming
here. M. FOrdney holds that this viii
give the desired relief without inVOlv-
ing a reduction of duty. The plan is
somewhat similar to the rebate prop

that this payment is to go direct to
the Cuban government instead of to the
planters.
The cOnferees continued their dis
Cussion this afternoon. The conference
lasted from . until p. n, and at its
conclusion. Chairman Payne. who had
been delegated by both sides 10 give
out statement, said after further
consideration Of the subject, the con-
/ feTees had come to no conclusion and
had adjourned until p. m. tomorrow.
1t is understood that much time was
/ given to an argument by Mr.. Morris
! of Minnesota on the constitutionality
/ of rebate. individually the members
after the meeting said that the pros
/ poets for an agreement were good. but
that the form Of the agreement was
still in doubt no one plan yet having
/ shown its advantage over the others

ERIN NOT A SAFE PLACE
FOR KING OF ENGLAND

Dublin. March 14.-In an address de
livered at q public meeting here, Earl
Cadogan. lord lieutenant Of Ireland.
made a rather enigmatic reference to
King Edwards abandoned visit to
Ireland.
After declaring that nobody was
more disappointed in this matter than
the king himself. with whom the idea
of this visit had originated, and after
expressing his own conviction that his
majesty would have been most enthu-
siasticaIy welcomed here, Earl Ca
dogan said he shared the full response
bility with the other ministers for ad-
vising the king that the present was
not an appropriate occasion for a visit
and that this advice was given after
the fullest consideration.
The speaker said he refrained from
characterizing the difficulties which
had rendered the abandoned visit in
Opportune. but that they were well
known and depiored by a vast majority
of the Irish people. Earl CadOgan said
he was quite sure these difficulties were
only of a temporary character and that
before long his majesty would be able
to carry out his wish which was very
near his heart, and the reaIizat ton Of
which would be productive Of the
| greatest possible advantage to Ireland.
