Washington, March 18.-The meet.
ing of Republican members opposing
the ways and means committee on re.
ciprocity lasted an hour and resulted
in an agreement not to accept the
compromise involving a reduction OF
tariff duties. This in effect is an in.
Etruction to insist upon the rebate plan
as against the reciprocity plan.
The meeting was attended by SO Re.
publican members. A resolution had
been framed by Representative Taw.
ney and this served as the basis of &C.
ton. The discussion was all opposed
to an agreement which would reduce
the tariff even temporarily. 1t was
finally agreed, however, to give this
understanding an affirmative aspect,
namely, that plan for the relief of
Cuba would be acceptable if it did not
involve reduction of the tariff. Those
who attended the conference said the
natural effect of this was to accept
nothing that involved reduction of
tariff. Others characterized the under.
standing reached as determination to
''stand pat"
Immediately following the meeting
the arbitrating conferees met in the
ways and means committee room.

the coming OF the Americans was a
beneficent dfspensation. And then.
again, when we contemplate our capi-
tai city, Havana. where so much has
been done. where during the past year
we have had scarcely a visitation of
yellow fever. where the principles of
sanitary science have been inculcated
and the people taught how TO live at
their best. we are again grateful TO the
Americans. We recall also, the ship
loads of provisions you sent US right
after the Spanish evacuation, the heroic
work done by your nurses and doctors
in the awful reconcentrado camps, the
hospitals you established. the schools
you founded and placed on a firm basis.
the s3,000.000 gift to our soldiers-all
these things the thinking people of
Cuba recall TO your credit and, perhaps
il is not necessary 10 mention, have the
frmest faith in the integrity of your
intentions as a nation.
AS TO what the far future may re-
veal we know not. but the immediate
future seems TO us full of hope and
promise. This is speaking broadly and

met many OF our voters as 10 the pros
poets OF Cuba when II shall have be-

served, these prospects are good--that
is, we have within the island material

years. / do not say that we shall inn
mediately develop them, for such Is not
the sindolent. tropical Cuban nature.
But the Yankees have brought here
with them so much ozone from their
brGcing climate that we are really less
indolent than we were before the war.
TO be sure, we have much more to make
life worth working for now that the
Spaniards are expelled and the coun-
try is practically ours again.
When we look back upon what was
accomplished in Santiago right after
the ending of the war, when the filthy
streets were cleansed for the first time
in centuries, yellow fever all but stamp
