TREATY AWAITS CUBAN ACTION
Documents Based on Plat Amendment
in Palma's Hands.


in PaIma's Hands.
Havana, Oct. 16.-It is understood
that Mr.. Squiers, the United States
minister, has handed to President Pal
ma a treaty based on the Platt amend
ment and providing for commercial
relations with the United States, which
has been in possession of the govern
ment for some time. Some OF the for
eign ministers are supposed to have
used their influence against treaty
with the United States, which they
claimed would destroy existing trade.
1t is stated that opposition to a
treaty might arise if it would greatly
reduce the customs receipts by divert
ing all trade to the United States on
the basis OF low tariff. This was
foreseen before when it was proposed
to raise the present duties in order to
allow a margin for revenue after a
treaty was made 1t is said that the
treaty provides for naval station at
Havana, and that Cuba will offer Bahia
Honda on the north coast.
