changed their minds, after saying to
Secretary Hay that they would be satisfied
with a lease for 100 years with the privi
lege of a renewal for like period, and
that they now demand absolute sover-

further legislative enactment by the SEN

certain, however.

The Cuban situation was fully discussed
at the Cabinet meeting. General Bliss
has gone to Havana to negotiate treaty
which shall provide that Cuban duties on
American imports shall remain stationary,
while they shall be increased so per cent
on imports from other countries and that,
in return, concession of IS per cent.
from the Dingley duties shall be allowed
oil Cuban goods coming into this country.
General Bliss cables that he has found
great opposition 10 the proposition in
Havana, although he is not yet discour
aged. The President and his Cabinet de-
cided that no further concessions would
be made, that Cuba was acting in an un-
grateful and ill, advised manner, and that
in no instance would the provisions of the
Plat amendment be waived, at least until
treaty had been negotiated. incidentally
it was stated at the White House that the
present relations with Cuba were SO acute
that those papers which wished TO be,
friend the administration would refrain
from discussing the situation.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From ouriregular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26th, 1908.
Tariff revision continues to be the most
talked of subject in political circles i'll
Washington despite the statement, given
at the White House last week,
that there was no prospect of change in
the tariff schedules at the coming session,
and that even the Presidents proposed
of tariff commission
would not imply the necessity for i'm
mediate revision. 1t is now stated that
the President has " left open !" that pass
age i'll his message which deals with this
subject and that he will not complete it
until he has had a number of conferences
with the party leaders, some oil the most
important Of which will take place to, day.
*x*
1t will be remembered that at the
Oyster Bay conference, just before Mr..
Roosevelt started on his Western trip, it
was decided that it would be unwise to
attempt any change in the tariff schedules
during the short session and, SO far, that
decision has not been abrogated, but as
the Western Senators and members begin
to arrive for the session they are in many
instances, so clamorous for revision that
the President has determined to give all
hearing before completing his message.
Immediately OH his return from the South
the President held Cabinet meeting at
which the subject was extensively dis
cussed and that was followed by import
ant conferences. So far as learned
Senator Scott of West Virginia is EN-
phatic in his advice against revision and
Senators Lodge and Burrows advise con-
servatisn. Senator Spooner, However, is
alleged to be wavering. Senator Mitchell
wants absolute free trade with the Philip
pines and says he speaks for all his Pacific
coast colleagues and Representative Bah
cock, whose skill as campaign manager
entities him to hearing, is emphatically
in favor of an extra session called to re-
wise the tariff.

poses. This arrangement will continue
