senate providing for the annexation Of

A condition is specified that the con-
stitution OF the proposed state shall be
submitted to congress not later than jan
uary 1, 1904. There also Ia a provision
that the debts Of Cuba shall not become
a charge upon the general government.
There is also In alternative provision CIV
ing the president authority, II he prefers,

admission as a state. This provision per-
mits the admission under the terms OF the

submit the resolution to Cuba as an over
ture on the part Of the United States"
II this latter course is pursued, a state

public OF Cuba, with a republican form
OF government and with representatives In
congress and to be admitted into the union
by this act, on an equal footing with the
existing states as soon as the terms and

p~riation Of $4,000 to carry its provisions

EFFECT OF MOUNT PELEE
Volcanic Disturbance in Martinique
Changes Elevations at Various
Points In Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG. Pa, June 1.-THE con-
tention Of biologists that the recent seismic
disturbances in Martinique would not only
affect territory adjacent to Martinique. but
would also be noticed in this country, is
borne out by the following letter sent by
Colonel H. c. Deming of the United States
Geological survey to Charles d. Walcott,
director Of the United States Geological
survey. Washington, D. c.:
During the past month l have taken at
various places In Pennsylvania, in my
geological work, a number OF elevations
above sea level, and 1 have found in every
case where elevations had been taken
previously that the present figures show
higher elevations than before.
II is possible that this is due to the sells
mic disturbances in the Martinique and
other islands enthusiastically from the
United States. 1 found the variation to be
from two inches TO more than twenty-four
on comparing them with older records at
Honeybrook, Chester county; Columbia,
lancaster county Gettysburg. Adams

gether with the members Of the subcom-

fer with the president in regard to the new
department Of bill, now before
the committee. conferred with the president
today on that subject.
The president told them he had not given
the matter sufficient attention to warrant
him in expressing any opinion as to what
bureaus should be included In the new de-
partment and 1t was decided that he should
recommend to the several cabinet officers
the selection by them of someone in each
department competent to confer with the
committee as to what bureaus should be de-
tached from the several departments and
included in the new department.
After the conference Mr.. Hepburn stated

an easement. On. behalf OF the Indians II
is claimed that their title Is q valid one
and should be beyond dispute. IL is this
point which the court of claims will be
asked to determine.
