caucus. to-day issued a call for a conference
of Democratic members on the subject of Cuban
reciprocity at S O'Clock tomorrow night. The
call followed a petition signed by more than
twenty-five Democratic members. requesting the
conference. The move caused some agitation
both sides OF the chamber, in connection
with the opening of the debate on the Cuban
bill tomorrow. as it thought to introduce
new element of doubt to the final vote
that measure. The movement for a confer
enCe understood to have been started by
those opposed TO the bill. with view TO con-
centrating the minority in opposition. 1t was
conceded by the supporters of the Payne bill
that combination between the minority and
the Republicans who oppose reciprocity would
make the final issue doubtful. Representative
Watson, Of Indiana, who is acting the Re

commanding the American forces in the island
of Samar. the only witness to-day at the
trial by court martial OF Major Waller of the
Marine Corps
General Smith denied that he gave Major
Waller power of life and death exceeding Cen
eral Order No 100. He said he received the first
news Of the killings at Basey where Major
Waller and Lieutenant Day. OF the Marine
Corps, charged with having killed three
natives. from General Chafee. General Smith
explained that his order to Major Waller ii bout
not being burdened with prisoners meant to dis
arm and release those prisoners who were not
charged with serious offences. He said he had
not understood the meaning OF Major Walters
telegram about "expending eleven prisoners"
The official report OF Lieutenant STROLLER OF
the Philippine Scouts. the capture of the
insurgent general Lukban, has been published
and is indorsed by General Smith The latter
considers the report TO be concise and graphic.
1t is impossible for any not acquainted
with the island OF Samar. says General Smith
to realize the difficulties and hardships of the
expedition. Strebler's command is entitled TO
the highest praise for of the most important
captures ever made in the Philippines. General
Smith strongly recommends that TO STROLLER be
given commission first lieutenant in the
regulars, and that Sergeant Lora be made
ond Lieutenant Of the native scouts. These rec
concentrations have been Endorsed by General
Wade and approved by General Chaffee Gen
eral Chaffee thinks. however. that Congressional
action may be required in order to obtain the
desired commission for Second Lieutenant Streb-
Ter He has already given Sergeant Lora a
commission second lieutenant in the scouts.

CURANS WANT A TREATY
SENIOR DE ABAD COMBATS STATE
MENTS THAT HIS COUNTR1MEN
CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE-l

tBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE
Washington, April 7.-Senor L. v de Aoau'
of the delegates here representing |u'o
industrial interests. made the following state
ment to-day relating to the attitude OF ouo"l'
toward the House bill favoring reciprocity In
certain quarters it has been intimated that the
Cubans could not be trusted to fulfil thelr QUIZ
cations contracted with the United States as
set forth in the Platt amendment.
This statement" Senior de Abad says. Is
evidently the work of the opponents Oh rev.
procity with Cuba. Nothing but passion OF *
norance of the true situation in CUBA couio give
rise to such ideas. No sincere and well lnloriiieu
person would advance the argument 'nal 'he
Cubans might In the future refuse 10 MAKE
treaty with the United States. SUCH a statement
is simply absurd We are so united to the United
States that it is difficult for us even to discuss
our separate interests We desire and ought to
struggle to secure a treaty based upon equltaoie
principles, but before securing this we can only
repeat what has been said in Cuba during ana
since the discussion of the Platt amendment:
Take whatever you want. but leave us in posi-
ton that we may be able to work and live
"All the struggles recorded in our history have
been caused by not having open to us the mar
kets of the United States for our products. and
need your markets above all things else,
how can ii be thought that would stop to dis
cuss purely political question? When man
is the point of losing his house and finding
himself cast into the street, is II likely that he
will turn to discuss platOnC questions? Many
Cubans will have to make payments on mort
cages by order of General Wood issued in May,
1901 during the coming month of May If we
fail to secure tariff concessions before that time
they will lose their properties. which will pass
into the hands Of foreigners. principally Span
ards
Under these conditions Is 1t not cruel, is 1t not
the height of perversity. to magine that those
men would tomorrow fail to keep faith with the
nation that alone save them? These conStd-
eTations show how false is the attitude of the
opponents of tariff reduction. Just causes
10 not need the support of sophistry or of false
testimony to support them
