C5y The Associated Press)
Washington. June 13-After talking with a.
number OF the leaders in Congress regarding
Cuban reciprocity to-day. President Roosevelt
determined 10 send message to Congress re-
affirming his attitude on that subject The
President has earnestly considered the question
for several days. and IL is said that the action
Of the anti-reciprocity Republican Senators yes
terday in deciding TO hold out against the policy
advocated by the majority of the party did not
influence him in the least in deciding TO send
his message TO Congress to-day.
The Presidents action, It may be stated from
sources close TO him. was influenced by the
broad question of the duty of the United States

II has been pointed out to the President that
his warmest political support is in the section
OF the country where there is the greatest oppo-
sition TO reciprocity the West and Northwest
and that he should remain content with the
stand he had taken without accentuating his
views in special message. 1t is known, how
ever. that the President did not hesitate to ar
rive at the conclusion that he would not let his
political prospects interfere with what he re-
garded as his plain duty. 1t is further known
that he told his friends that It was a source of
great regret TO him TO take position hostile to
the wishes Of his warmest supporters but that
he felt IL would not be in keeping with his own
nature and his position Chief Executive to
remain silent longer this subject and there
by give opportunity for false speculation to
his attitude.
The President further led 10 conclude
that the relations Of the United States and Cuba
must necessarily grow closer and that the
United States should not the outset OF its
declared purposes toward the island assume a
position. contrary thereto. aud thus arouse the
suspicious OF the Cuban Government as to the
real Intentions of this country toward it.
