WASHINGTON. April 9.-Admiral
Bradford, chief Of the equipment bu-
.cau and the navy department expert
on coal supplies, has returned to Wash
ington from rapid trip Of inspection
Of possible sites for naval and coaling
stations in Cuba. The Platt amend
ment provides that Immediately after
the erection of the independent Cuban
government the United States and Gu
la shall negotiate for the acquisition
by the former OF suitable naval and
coaling stations in Cuba.
Nothing developed ia the course of
the trip to change Admiral Bradford S
formerly expressed views rs to the
proper location Of four naval and coal
ing stations in Cuba namely, at IIa-
vana and Nipe on the north coast and
Guantanamo and CicnfucgCs ON the
south.
The exact location chosen in Havana
harbOr, at Triscornin. on the east side
of the bay, is hello ed to be sufficiently
removed from the city proper to make
1t HrreptAblc to the Cubans, as il would
involve no menace to the city Or it's de-
fcnscS.
A husty inspection of San Juan har-
Dor. Porto Rico. resulted in the imme-
diate condemnation of that place as a
site for a naval station not only be-
cause of the impossbiity of protecting
the llArhnr from easy and direct fire
from tl" open sea. but also because Of
its dangerous entrance and the cnor-
nous amount of money that would be
required TO make tho hnrbor approach

A FEST V0TETAKEN
Cuban Relief Bill Up In House
by Ninety-six Majority.
BOTH PARTIES HOPELESSLY DIVIDED
Republican Leader Payne Makes the
Opening Address-Senato tor CuiiOm
Protests Against Chinese Ex-
cIuslOn Hi In Prevent Form.


WASHINGTON, April 9.-The first
day Of the debate OH the Cuban rcci-
procity bill, which opened in the house
yesterday. was disappointing from a
spectacular standpoint. There We're no
sensational clashes after the debate
was actually begun, ana none of the
bitterness which was expected to crop
out on the floor came to the surface.
The vote on the motion TO 60 unto COM
i mlttee of the whole to consider the bill,
however, developed the lines~o of cleav-
age and showed that the Democrats
are quite as much divided on the ques-
tion as is the majority. In tne division,
which Is regarded AZ practically Il test
vote Oh the bill, 11% Republicans and 63
Democrats voted for the motion and Al
Republicans and 80 Democrats against
1t. The vote was in reality more enl-
barrassing to the Democrats than to
the Republicans, as the members of the
minority had called Il conference for
last night at which they desired to get
together on Il course of action. The
vote forced the hands Of the Democrats
as individuals before the caucus. Mr..
Payne. the Republican leader, opened
the debate for the bill in a strong
speech which commanded close atten-
ton from both sides of the house.
There were only two other speeches.
Mr. Newlands (Dem., New took the
position that the concession should not
be made to Cuba unless she were invit-
cd at the same time to become part of
the United States. Mr. Mcclellan
Uem., n. y, who was the last speak
er, favored a 80 per cent reduction for
the benefit of Cuba but gave notice
that il the rate of reduction was not in
creased he would vote for the bill. He
with time honorcd doctrine and that
while Republicans might fear it Demo-
Gratis should not.
A vigorous protest was made in the
senate by Mr.. Cullom Gll.y against the
passage Of the Chinese exclusion bill
in its present form. Coming from the
chairman Of the committee on foreign
relations, the protest made deep i'm
preston on the senate. Mr.. Cullom,
while expressing himself as in favor of
the exclusion OF Chinese laborers, said
that many Of the provisions of the
pending measure were in contruvention
Of our treaty Obligations with China.
He urged that the United States could
not afford 10 ignore its solemn treaties.
although he conceded the authority Of
congress to enact the proposed law if it
snV tit to do so.
Mr.. Patterson (Co!o.) and Mr.. Perkins
VaD supported the pending bill, main
tanning that in 10 way did it CONTRA
vene existing treaties, as by the con-
vcnton of 1894 China had agreed that
Chinese laborcrs should be excluded
from this country. The bill was dras-
tic in its provisions, they admitted hut
no more SO than was necessary to elm
mate the possibility of fraud.
