TREATY SEEMS LIKELY NOW
Cuba Wants Fifty Percent Rebate on Sugar
and Tobacco.
AMERICA WILL PROPOSE NEW COMPROMISE
CoaIinE station DimcuIty said TO be
Removed by Gradual Diminu-
tion of Fuel supply at
TriscOrnia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Cuba not having
returned the draft of the treaty proposed
by the United States officials here are
officially ignorant of the nature Of the
changes the Cubans desire.
OF course they are known TO be connected
with tie increase Of the rebate TO be al
lowed on Cuban sugar and tobacco and
there are indications that the administra-
tion may pc willing to yield slightly on
this point IL no unreasonable delay is ex-
hibited in the negotiations.
The rebate proposed in the original con-
vention is 20 per cent and il is gathered
that the Cubans want 90 per cent. This
rate cannot be allowed in view of the
belief that congress would certainly not
sanction such a cut in duties, but between
these figures there is so wide a margin
that there is room for compromise.
The coaling station matter is. for tho
time being held in allegiance. The 1000
tons of coal belonging to the United States
navy now lying in a warehouse at Iris
cornia is being diminished according to
the needs Of the navy in gulf waters, SO
that the Cuban complaint Of the existence
Of an American naval station in Havana
harbor is adjusting itself without friction
and indeed, it is said the matter has not
been officially mentioned lately.

FRENCH MINERS NOT PLEASED
Coal workers Greatly Dissatisfied at
Result of Arbitration of
Trouble.

PARIS. Nov. 6.--The striking coal miners
are showing great dissatisfaction at the ar
bitration decision against q raise in the
rate Of wages. and their national commit
tee has called a meeting to take place at
Arras, department of Pas de Calais Satur-
day, to determine on the course to follow.
At St. Etienne the miners have adopted
resolutions to appeal to the dock laborers
to renew the strike against loading coal
unless the companies today grant the min
ers' terms.
The strikers at Lens have unanimously
adopted resolutions to continue the strike,
pending the decision Of the Arras meeting
of Saturday.
The troops are kept busy maintaining
quiet in some OF the mining districts.
Premier Combs has telegraphed to the
projects Of the disturbed districts instruct
ing them to adopt the measures necessary
to maintain peace in case the strikers en-
gagged in renewed outbreaks.
The present indications are that the
miners will finally accept the adverse de-
cision of the arbitratofs and return TO
work, as their leaders say IL would con-
stitute breach of faith to enter into ar
bitration and then refuse to accept the

LOOKS BAD FOR MASON
Police Think They Can Prove He
PRwned Two watcbes-BOth Be
IonEed to Murdered Woman.

BOSTON, Nov. 6.-Tonight's developments
in the case OF Alan G.. Mason, who is
charged with the murder of Miss Clara Nor
ton, a laundress at the Mclean asylum in
Waverly, last Saturday night, have been OF
a startling nature.
1t was announced first that the victims 8
watch had been found in a Cambridge
street pawnshop. where IL had been pawned
for 81 by a young eolored man, and this
discovery at once led to a general search
for this man, but without developments.
Later, when the pawnbroker's memory
had been logged a little. he remembered
that the watch had been brought to his
Office on Saturday night between IL and
1880 by a white man and offered in pawn.
Owing to the fact that 1t was after busi-
ness hours he refused to receive it and the
man departed, taking the watch with him.
On Monday morning the same watch was
brought in by a colored man about 21 years
Of age and the pawnbroker bought 1t for
81. burly negro, evidently a companion
of the other, had been waiting outside the
shop while the trade was being mades and
sae-sean as t-wass completed he-entered aud
took the money which the proprietor had
passed over. Both men then departed.
Continuing their investigation the ON
GERS made another startling discovery
which will have an important bearing on
the case. Miss Agnes McPhee's watch, a
Somerville "Jack the slugger" victim, was
pawned at the same shop on October 3, the
day after her murder by a white man whose
description tallies exactly with that OF the
man who brought the Morton watch to the
pawnbroker last Saturday night.
The descriptions Of these men is said to
agree in a striking manner with that OF
Mason, and the pawnbroker will be given a
chance tomorrow to identify him.
The unexpected development today has
been most unfavorable TO the prisoner, al
though his friends still claim that he can
fully establish an alibi.
Search for the mysterious colored man
is being carried on as vigorously as ever
and all sections Of the city are being
closely watched by the police tonight.
Two days ago the state police arrested
A. G. Mason, a wealthy business and club
man OF Boston on suspicion of having
killed Miss Morton. After a days investi-
cation they we're convinced that Mason
could establish an alibi. but during the sue
ceeding night witnesses were found who
positively identified him as one whom they
had seen in Waverly, where the murder
was committed on Saturday. On the
strength OF the evidence yesterday a war
rant charging him with murder was issued
/ and he is held without bail until Tuesday

PRESIDENTS COAT OF ARMS
Differs I'm Army and Navy, so. Depart
ments Are Seeking the
Correct One.

WASHINGTON. Nov. "a question arose
recently as to the correctness Of the design
OF the coat Of arms as displayed on the
presidents flag, which has been in use in
the navy for many years. Attention was
first called to the matter when a foreign
attache remarked that It was strange that
the army and navy should have two differ
ent flags for the president. II was then
discovered that the two differed in the mat
ter Of the coat Of arms.
The State department produced an au-
thentic copy of the arms showing seven
white and six red stripes in the shield.
while the Navy departments flag had seven
red stripes and six white ones. The matter
was referred to the president, but he sent
IL back to the department for decision.
While Acting Secretary Darling has not
formally decided the matter, he intends to
accept the State departments flag as ac-
curate.
