THEY ARRANGED FOR BURIAL OF
RECIPROCITY MEASURE-THE
INSURGENTS WILL SMILE AT
FINAL oRsEoUiEs.
ADMINISTRATION LEADERS NOW
ADMIT THEY HAVE ABANDON
DoNED THEIR FIGHT AGAINST
THE BILL.

Washington, June 1S.-Tne repubIi-
cans of the senate held caucus to-
night to arrange the most decent bur
ial they can devise for their dead Gu
ban bill The administration leaders
in the senate admitted that they had
decided to abandon the fight for Gu
ban reciprocity, and tnat in the inter
est Of party harmony tnirty-four of
the flfty-four republican senator's
would yield to the demand of their
insurgent colleagues that the pro
posed legislation for the commercial
relief of the Cubans should not he
passed at this session of congress.
What was done at the caucus is
very geenrally understood. The
Spooner reciprocity substitute for the
bill that passed the house was sub
/ mitted,
Bill Will Be ShelVed.
The beet sugar men, now numbered
at twenty. will make known their re
fushl to vote for this or any other
similar measure. When they do this
the bill will be shelved and In It's
stead there will be proposed res
olution requesting the president to
Cuban government and submit it to
the sente. That, of course. cannot
be done until the next session of
congress.
Several of the insurgents, full in the
pride of their acknowledged victory,
stated today tnat they would not
give their support to a treaty either
specifically or by imputation until
tney know it's terms and nave resist
ed all overtures to that end. The
senate leaders are determined that
they will have harmony at any cost.
AS predicted, it will be harmonious
retreat All of the leaders are agreed
on this except Senator Platt, of Con
necticut. Senator Platt would like
to see the fight carried to the floor
of the senate. He takes tne defeat
of the reciprocity plan very much to
heart and would like to fight it out
with the insurgents to the bitter end
at no matter what cost to republican
harmony. But in this extreme atti-
tude he is opposed by the wiser heads
on the republican side, who argue that
unitv is more essential thany any
thing else
