TREATY STILL IN HAVANA.
NOT RETURNED TO WASHINGTON, AS
REPORTED.

THE ADMINISTRATION WILLING TO MAKE A
SLIGHT CONCESSION TO CUBAN WISHES
Washington, Nov. 6.-Contrary TO the common
understanding here, it appears that the draft OF
the Cuban reciprocity treaty has not yet left
Havana on its return to Washington but is now
Geposing in a pigeonhole in the desk Of Presi-
dent Palma. The misunderstanding as to the
location of the treaty arose from dispatch
20 the State Department from Minister Squiers
az Havana. saying that he expected the treaty
10 be dispatched to Washington the day follow
ing the sending OF his message However. it did
not start then, nor has it started yet. Cuban
habits of prOcrastination. rather than any dis
position actually to refrain from entering into
1reaty relations with the United States. are sup
posed 10 be the reason for the delay
In view Of the facts that the treaty has not
yet come here, and that Mr.. Squiers has not
seen il. IL follows that the United States Govern
nent is officially ignorant of the nature OF the
changes the Cubans desire TO make in the conven-
ton. OF course. generally these are known to be
connected with the increase Of the rebate to be
allowed on Cuban sugar and tobacco entering
the United States, and there are indicat ions
that the administration may be willing to yield
slightly this point if no unreasonable delay
IS exhibited in the negotiations on the part of
the Cubans. The rate of rebate proposed in
the original convention is 20 per cent and il is
understood that the Cubans want 50 per cent.
This rate cannot be allowed in view of the be-
lief that Congress would not sanction such a cut
in duties. but between these figures there is so
wide margin that there is room for conapro-
mise a basis that might be acceptable TO
either side.
The coaling station question IS held in abey-
ance for the time being. The 1000 tons Of coal
belonging 10 the United States navy now
lying in a warehouse at Triscornia is being d.
unfinished according TO the needs of the navy in
Gulf waters, that the Cuban complaint OF
the existence of an American naval station in
Havana harbor is adjusting itself without frfc-
tion, and il is said that the matter has not
been officially mentioned lately

ALASKA BOUNDARY MoyUNENTs
LIEUTENANT EAINIoNs REPORTS TO THE
STATE DEPARTMENT ON HIS IN
VESTIGATTONS
vESTIGATIONs
By The Associsted Pressn

~
Washington, Nov. 6-Iieutenant GeorsA n
Emmons, Z. S N Cretired). has made his re-
port to the Secretary Of State on the results Of
his investigation along the Alaskan boundary Of
certain stories which have found frequent repeti-
ton in late years, to the effect that monuments
nave been discovered marking the real boun-
dairy line between Alaska and the British
Northwest Territory at a point many lea g7les
further from the sea than the British have been
willing TO admit. Lieutenant Emmons was
selected for the work OF inquiry because he
was thoroughly familiar with the country In
which the supposed boundary stones exist. He
spent much OF the last summer IN the region
and has now reached a conclusion The State
Department viii not make the report public az
this time The inquiry IS regarded as only one
chapter in long series of investigations which
have been going on for the last ten years under
the auspices Of the State Department II is
said that the department has promptly investi-
gated every rumor bearing on the existence OF
boundary monuments which presented the least
appearance Of FEASIBILITY
Lieutenant Emmons declares that he has no,
breathed a word Of the nature of his conclusions
20 any one except the officials here in Washing
ton Still, 1t is regarded fair conjecture that
ne mas not round the stones reported TO exist
10 De boundary monuments the State De-
partment would regard il as incurnbent on II
20 take steps TO bring that fact to the at1en-
ton of the British Government with a view IA
securing rectihcation OF the temporary bound
ary- Instead OF doing this, the report has been
referred % ex-Secretary John w Foster and
Senator Fairbanks for their information They
are members Of the Joint High Commission
which was charged with the settlement Of the
Alaskan boundary question among many other
important matters.
