CUBAN MINISTER AT
STATE DEP ARTMBNT
Mr.. Quesada and DR.. Hill
Discuss Reciprocity.
Former Offers to Secure Authority From
His Government to Negotiate Treaty
No Arrangement Made.

Mr.. Quesada. the new Cuban minister
paid mis- first business visit to the STATE
Department yesterday and discussed
Cuban reciprocity prospects with DR.
Eill, the Acting Secretary of State.
draft of the proposed reciprocity
treaty has been made. and its essential
features have been communicated to Mr.
Quesada, but formal negotiations have
not been initiated.
The question remains unsettled whetb-
er, even in the event that a treaty can
be signed and negotiated very soon,
there would be any prospect of secur-
ing its ratification by the Senate before
Congress adjourned. or in a special ses-
sion OF the Senate. On that question
MIR. Hill was unable to give Mr.. Quesada
any definite answer
Mr.. Quesada showed a lively interest
in the matter. and offered to ask his
government for special authority to ne
gotiate treaty Immediately In the
absence Of President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Hay, DR.. Hill could not do more
than express his appreciation of the
minister's willingness.
Although some doubt has been eN-
pressed that the two governments would
be able to agree on all the schedules
within the short period before the ad.
journment of Congress, it should be un-
derstood that neither Mr.. Quesada or
President Palma has raised any objec-
ticn 10 the terms Of the proposed recip-
recall arrangement.

CHINA DOES NOT CBDE
TO RUSSIA MANCHURIA
State Department Finds
Statement Unjustifled.
Russia, According to Convention, to
Evacuate Territory Within
Eighteen Months.

There is nothing within the knowledge
OF the State Department officials to JUS
tify belief in the accuracy OF the state
ment from the Pekin correspondent of
the London Daily MALI that the Man
churian convention between China and
Russia contains clause by which China
virtually renounces all claim to sover-
eignity over Manchuria The under
standing here, based on possession OF
copies of the convention, is quite the
contrary.
The first convention between China
and Russia regarding Manchuria was
negotiated secretly. 1t contained pro-
visions for exclusive concessions to
Russia. which practically placed Man
churia under Russian control China
objected to signing this convention on
account of the severity of it's terms, and
received an ultimatum from Russia that
1t must be concluded on a date fixed.
An appeal to the powers was made by
China, and receiving assurances of ap-
proval from this Government, and per-
haps from others, the imperial authori-
ties at Pekin declined to comply with
the ultimatum. The suppostion that
Russia would enforce her demand with
her army was not realized.
The United States and other powers
called Russia to account for negotiating
secret treaty with China, maintain
ing that there was an understanding
that no nation concerned would en-
deavor to obtain exclusive rights in
China territory without the consent Of
all the other nations. Russia virtually
acknowledged this principle, and there
upon negotiated an open treaty with
China, which was satisfactory, generally
speaking, to the other powers.
This treaty provision is for the evac
uation of Manehuria by the Russian
forces within period of eighteen
months from its date. 1t is now in
force.
Copies of this agreement are in the |
possession of the State Department.

the memory of a great and good man
| Gen. Albert Ordway was a great sol
der, and he was a good citizen. His
qualities are known to many of US; for
not long since he was one of us, brave
and faithful and true.
1.-The memory of General Ordway needs
no eulogy from his friends. He was a
soldier, who rose from the ranks be-
cause he dserved to rise. Reward came
TO him because of merit Even had be
not been rewarded justly, his memory
would have called forth praise. But
fortune was not unkind TO him.
General Ordway, in the civil war,
behaved as a soldier should, and he won
praise and rank. His service was a
noble cne, such as a character like his
is wont TO bring forth. He fought as
every American man would fight, if duty
and justice and right called him to the
fray. More than this, he deserved hon
or: for he combined great administra-
tive ability with force and steadtast-
ness. Thus his character, ever strong,
brought forth fruit"
General Harries said that General
Ordway had founded and built up the
National Guard of the District
The unveiling of the statue was per-
formed by Bandmaster Duvall, assisted
by member of the quartermaster's de-
partment. The cords holding the flag
were unloosed. and the banner fell from
the monument to the ground Stimuli
taneously. the band struck up a march

ceremonies to an end by pronouncing
the benediction.

brought to Havre de Grace. The two
young men are from Baltimore and were
starting out On a canoeing expedition to
Canada. They were in small canoe
and were heading up the bay when they
were capslEed. They kept afloat with
difficulty. as the canoe was hardly suifi-

The wind was blowing very fresh at the
time they were rescued and they would
likely have been lost only that they were
sighted by the crow of the Amelia.
