A CHEERING OUTLOOK
ASSURANCES TO SENATORS SUP
PORTING CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Opposition Not to Be Made Filibuster
Mo Coalition Formed-A Con-
servative View.

Intimations amounting practically to as
surances have come to senators concerned
for the welfare of the Cuban reciprocity
bill that opposition to that measure by
republican senators will not be unduly pro-
longed OF carried to the point Of a dlibus-
ter The further gratifying intelligence
has been conveyed that republican sena-
tors will not join with the democrats to
keep the differential amendment in the
bill.
1t is said that party lines will be followed
by republicans who are not willing to join
in what they term the beginning of a gen.
eral attack on the protective tariff system.
Senators who are following the situation
closely from day to day and whose judg-
ment is conservative believe that after a
period of protest from the beet sugar men,
to justify themselves with their constit-
uents, bill will pass the Senate providing
for % per cent tariff reduction or imports
from Cuba, when a similar reduction is
granted American goods going to Cuba.
The bill will be stripped of the differ
entia1 amendment and of the cumbersome
immigration provisions put ON by the House.
The beet sugar men will propose the re-
bate plan as substitute for tariff reduc-
tion, but it is believed that the admins
trative difficulties urged against the scheme
render it unacceptable to a ma ajority of the
republicans.

PROPOSED CAMP SITES.
Major Parker's Report to the War De-
partment

Major James Parker of the adjutant gen.
erals. Office has made detailed and COM
prehensive report to the War Department
in regard to five camp sites near Louisville,
KY, offered the government These sites,
named according to their location, are as
follows: Ashland, KY; Harrod's Creek,
KY; West Point KY; Middlelawn, KY,
and the Indiana site, which last-named site
is located between the cities Of Jefferson
Vile and New Albany in that state. The
sites at Harrod's Creek, Ashland and West
Point contain all the essentials of a mill
tary camp, including good water, transpor-
tation facilities, drainage, soil, ETC., accord
ing to the report of Major Parker. The
site at Harrods Creek, situated on the Ohio
river about ten miles above Louisville, is
offered at $11S an acre; that at Ashland,
which is on the Ohio river near the city Of
Ashland, is held at $25 an acre. and that at
West Point. which is on the Ohio river
about twenty miles below Louisville, at $50
an acre. These reservations average 25,000
acres.
Major Parker describes each of these sites
at length, but expresses no preferences,
leaving it for the department to determine
which, under all the circumstances, is the
most desirable. The site at Middlelawn, on
the Ohio river, ten miles below Louisville,
and the one in Indiana are both rejected by
Major Parker on the general ground Of un-
suitability. He says the Indiana site is too
small and that the topography of the In
diana site renders it unsuitable for military
maneuvers on an extensive scale.
