The proposition of 20 per cent reduc-
tion, if adopted, will put off, in my judg-
ment, the annexation of Cuba for many
years. She will not come in until her
population is Americanized from the
States. To refuse to do anything would
put the House in a position hostile to
the President. would cause uncertainty
aud a feeling of apprehension to the
producers of sugar in the States, and
would be utterly demoralizing.

DECIDE AGAINST CLAIMANTS.
Spanish Treaty Claims Commission Reaches
Conclusion
(By the Associated Press \

Washington, March 6.-The Spanish
Treaty Claims Commission today handed
down decision against the claimants for
death and injuries received by officers
and seamen in the wreck of the battle
ship Maine in Havana Harbor The COM
mission holds that:
Individual claims of citizens of one
nation may arise against the government
of another nation for redress Of injuries
to persons Or property which such citi-
zens may have sustained from such gov
ernment or any of its agents. But such
individual claims do not arise in favor
of the officers and seamen of a ship of
war who receive, in the line of duty, in
juries to their persons for which a for
eign government is responsible The
claim against the foreign government is
wholly natural and all injuries to such
officers and seamen are merged in the
national injury; and they can look only
to their own government for such remun-
Grafton as it may choose to give to them.
"A seaman injured by the explosion
which destroyed the battleship Maine in
the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on February
10, 1893, had no individual claim against
Spain, even if that government was re-
sponsible to the United States for the
explosion, and therefore such a seaman
is not entitled to an award in his favor
from the Spanish Treaty Claims Com
mission on the ground that the act of
Congress of March 2, 1901. to adjudicate
all individual claims of citizens of the
United States against Spain which the
United States released to Spain and
agreed to pay by the treaty of peace of
December 10, 1898.
The claims so far filed with the COM
mission which will be effected by this de-
cision amount to about $2.50O,O00 which
probably would have been increased to
ST. 600 900 had the decision been favor
able to the claimants.

difference of wages and the efficiency of
American labor"
The whole argument of Senator Clay,
he said, was based on the fact that it is
costing us more than it ought to, While
at the same time and in the same breath
he gloried in the fact that the United
States has but recently leaped to the
front and is now a world power.
"Will anybody deny" said he, "the
importance, the absolute necessity of
having an auxiliary for our navy in the
shape of the merchant marine shaped
under the direction of the Navy Depart
ment, and in time of war, absolutely in
the hands and under the control of the
President of the United States to use it
in the most effective manner"
Mr. Tillman interrupted to ask for in
formation in regard to the reports that
the Morgan Syndicate had bought Two
or three of the European lines of steam
ers.
"You must ask somebody who knows"
replied Mr.. Hanna. II do not know any
thing about it,"
"It was only reported you know" sug-
|gested Mr.. Tillman. ''And I thought
that the Senator being in touch with that
class of people"
why does the Senator say I am in
touch with them?" interjected Mr..
Hanna.
Mr.. Tillman: "The Senator is a man
|engaged in shipping, is he not?''
"On the great lakes, yes" responded
Mr.. Hanna, "but why does the Senator
assume that l know what Mr.. Morgan
has done?'
81 thought the Senator and Mr.. Nor
gan were business friends" replied Mr..
|Tillman.
II know nothing about the purchase
of the Leyland Line by J. P. Morgan
and Company said Mr.. Hanna, "any
more than the Senator does. That is
simply the investment of American cap
ital. under the provisions Of this regis
ter or an American flag"
IF that be true" inquired Mr.. Till
man, "why did the German Emperor not
go to England to get his yacht built in
stead of coming to this country"
Mr.. Hanna said there were some things
he could not answer, but he thought
Prince Henry was glad the Emperor did
not do il.
Perhaps the Senator has not heard of
the successes and prestige of America in
the yachting line" suggested Mr.. Han
ma, amid laughter. The German En-
peror. he said, wanted the best yacht aud
therefore he came here.
Mr.. Tillman wanted to know what
kind of yacht it was and Mr.. Depew
described it as sailing racing machine
of the type that beat the two Shamrocks.
Mr.. Hanna declared that not an Amer
lean ship yard had contract for another
merchant vessel after the nine or ten
vessels now under contract were finish
ed. Everybody knows, continued Mr..
Hanna, that the United States is now
engaged in a hand to hand contest with
foreign nations to secure the commerce

The Philippine ARCHIPELAGO was the key

pose of the bill, under the postal sys-
TEN, to establish line on the Atlantic
coast of South America.

spect to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Polk, of Pennsylvania.

REDUCE DUTIES 90 PER CENT.
Payne Favors This Concession, Saying Repub-
lican Will do Something for Cuba.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, March chairman Payne
of the Ways and Means Committee today
gave out the following authorized state
ment in connection with the discussion
over Cuban reciprocity:
Il think the large majority of the Re-
publicans have made up their minds that
We must do something for Cuba. There
are three propositions presented which
have this professed end in view. The
proposition of Mr.. Morris. of Minnesota,
provides for an increase in the tariff on
sugar TO the outside world, and a rebate
on sugar imported from Cuba. 1t does
not seem to me that many Republicans
are willing to increase the duty on sugar.
Then there is the proposition of Mr.
Iawney to vote between $7,000,000 and
$S,OOO,O0O directly into the Cuban treasury
and to ask the Cuban Government to dis :
tribute about 81 1,000 900, according 20 his
figures TO native Cuban planters. This
first payment is to be paid without any
compensation from Cuba in any way or
manner-a pure gift to the Cuban Gov
eminent.
.sOf course no bounty of this kind
could be distributed without a scandal
and fraud 1t would be Just as easy
for the sugar trust to obtain a conees-
sion on the sugar they bought on account
of the bounty as to obtain a concession
where the planter knew he was to have
twenty per cent concession in duty
SO that Mr.. Tawney's proposition has
no advantages over that for a % PER
cent reduction, and it has the disadvan-
tages named.
The third proposition is that for
twenty per cent reduction of duties. This
would injure no home industry. Nor
would it inur to the benefit of the
sugar trust. The witnesses before the
committee united in testifying-and the
