Washington, Nov. 13-GeneraI Tasker II.

terested in the commercial treaty with Cuba TO
have it ready il possible, in three weeks. and
General Bliss will endeavor TO adjust the diff
ferences by that time. 1t is considered i'm
portant 10 have the treaty sent TO the Senate

thirds vote 10 ratify the treaty. and a de-
fernined minority in the Senate could postpone
action il for some time.
Those best informed regarding the conditions
existing in the island do not expect any speedy
action. They believe that a large number of
Cuhans are strongly opposed TO granting the
concessions the United States viii demand.
There is also talk that they may test the effect
iveness Of the Plat amendment by entering
into negotiations with other countries regarding
trade relations. The position which this gov
eminent holds in Cuba and its relations with the
leading foreign nations at the present time are
such that II is believed none OF the govern

There is even some talk that the negotiations

lions until a treaty had been concluded with

desire OF This government 10 leave the negotia-

not appear that an attempt had been made TO
