Numerous amendments and substi-

Washington, November 12.-An impor-
tant conference bearing on the subject
Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty was
held at the war department today, the
participants being Secretary Hay, Sec
rtary Root and General Tasker Bliss
Before the conference at the war de-
partment, Secretary Hay had talked on
this subject with Senator Cullom, chair
man Of the senate committee on foreign
relations and also with Senior Quesada,
the Cuban minister here.
1t appears that the cardinal objection
of President Palma to the treaty as
it stands, is the insufficient rebate IF
20 per cent. proposed to be allowed on
Cuban imports into the United Stltes.
and Secretary Hays purpose is to as
certain, if possible, how far he can yield
| in that matter and still be able to rely
upon the support of congress next ses-
| sion when the treaty is submitted. So
far, his advices do not favor any in
crease Of the rebates. and indeed. he
| has been assured by some persons witk
whom he has talked. that under no con-
| ditions would congress consent 20 any
| substantial increase Of this rebate. 1t
/
entirely unwilling TO accept any small
4 increase.
| In the face of a great shortage in the
| European crop and a rapidly rising
market, they. have acquired confidence
| in their ability to go along for an ildeti-
| mite period of time without reciprocity
with the United States and so it is un-
derstood they are showing an indiffer-
ence in the prosecution of the treaty
| negotiations which is serving in turn
to stimulate the efforts of our negotia-
| tors.
| President Palma makes the point that
| conditions have changed in Cuba SO
that whereas the 20 per cent. rebate
might have served when it was first
proposed, it would at present afford 81
little relief as not to warrant the sacri-
! flee of Cuban revenues that would be
| involved in it's acceptance. Secretary
Hay has determined to clear up tina,
point and to that end, after talking with
Secretary Root today, it was decided
that General Bliss should be sent al
once to Cuba to make a personal inves-
tigation of the industrial situation and
the fiscal possibilities of the island.

THE EVIDENCE THICKENS.
New Points Reing Found Against the
Eegro, Perry.

Cambridge, Mass, November 12.-The
police spent today investigating the
past life and movements of George L.
o. Perry the unknown negro who, yes
terday. upon the release of Alan G..
Mason, was charged with the murder
of Miss A. Morton at Waverly.
Tonight the Somerville police found
Perry's sweetheart and after persuas-
ion, got her to exhibit whatever jewelry
she had received from Perry. Among
the trinkets was a gold chain which
was Immediately recognized as having
belonged to Miss McPhee. Private
marks on the chain proved the identi-
fication. and the jeweler who sold it to
Miss NcPhee later described his own
upon it, The chain had been given by
Perry's sweetheart to her sister.
The officers next secured letters writ
ten by Perry to his sweetheart and one
to her sister, and in the latter missive
there is reference to chain and the in
junction not to say a word about it,.
When Miss McPhee was in the hos
pital, during a lucid moment, she asked
Where is my chain?" At the time
there was an abrasion On her neck
caused by the forcible Tightening of q
chain worn there. After her death,
search was made for the chain, but as
it was not pawned in this vicinity no
clue to the murderer was secured N
this way. The police refuse to give the
names of the girls.
