Home endorsement, the public ex-

Drift TING AWAY.
Washington Is Watching Cuba
With Much Anxiety.
Cubans Seems Indifferent as to Com
merciaI Relations With Us.
Strange Delay at Havana in consid-
Grafton Of the Treaty.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The situation
as to Cuba is such at present as to
give officials here great concern. 1t
Is feared that Cuba is drifting away
and evidence is multiplying day by
day to mark the growth of spirit of
Indifference towards the cultivation of
friendly commercial relations with the
United States that almost borders on
hostility. The best efforts of the
state department, thus far have failed
10 secure the adhesion of the Cuban
government to a treaty which, by the
terms of the Platt amendment, must
he entered into by the two govern
ments.
The delay is all on one side. namely.
at Havana, for Secretary Hay and the
Cuban minister, Senior Quesada, have
performed their part in drafting a
treaty which, it is believed, carries
ont the intent of Congress. The
treaty is now awaiting the approval
Of the Cuban government, which APP
proval is withheld, not with any ex-
messed intention of rejecting the con-
vention but through what is regarded
here as the natural inertia OF the Gu
bans in diplomatic matters.
This treaty includes provisions for
a considerable measure OF reciprocity
between the United States and Cuba
and while it is true that the Cubans
believe that the United States has
been rather niggardly in the arrange
ment of the reciprocity schedules.
these objections are not regarded as
sufficient to account for the great de-
lay in concluding the treaty.
However. there is no intention, 1t is
said. to resort to any undue pressure
on the Cubans so long as there is no
discrimination against the United
States and in favor of another coun-
try. 1t is believed that as Cuba is the
principal sufferer from the lack OF
treaty relations with the United
States. internal pressure soon Will
force action on the pending conven-
ton,

THE MAINE PARTY.
The Veterans and Their Friends at the
Encampment.

Department of Maine, G. A. r., Wash
ington, d. c.. Oct. 6.-(SpeciaD.
the day and night of Sunday the rain
continued and the prospect for favorable
weather for our departure from New
York was a poor one, but about the time
we got ready to leave it cleared off. and
our party left the Hotel at IT'S, feeling
very cheerful, and proceeding to the
CORTLAND st. Ferry We crossed to Jer-
railroad at S.25 A. NJ. with 9 cars well
filled. 1t was a special train, and we run
out about two miles, and stopped a few
minutes to allow the regular train to go
ahead of us. There were several trains
to go over the same road, but they are
required to give 10 minutes time between
the starting of different trains. The
country through which we passed wa;
very pleasant. and everything very agree
able to all. We arrived at Baltimore at
LBS. and after going through the first
tunnel. we stopped until 2, and with an
extra engine added to the trail took Il
new start. In passing through ne sec
ond tunnel, which is about three miles
long. and has but two short openings. the
passengers had the full benefit of all the
gas they required, but We finally arrived
in Washington at 3.15, which was IL
hours behind our schedule time, and for
this, short delay, no objections were
made. In a very short time after our ar
rival. all who had made a request for
rooms at the Metropolitan Hotel, which
is very near the depot of the Penn. r. r.,
were soon located. Many others We're
also supplied with quarters at other
hotels and private houses.
Our headquarters room was visited dur
ing the afternoon and evening by many
persons formerly from Maine, as well as
from other places. hunting up their old
friends from the Pine Tree State.
The weather, Tuesday morning. looked
little suspicious but although it re-
manned cloudy until the middle of the
forenoon, it in no way interfered with
the parade of the Naval Veterans, as it
soon cleared off and proved to be a very
fine day for those who took part in the
procession. and also for the many thous-
ands who witnessed the same, and it was
a success in every particular. After the
parade, the balance of the day was spent
in taking in the sights, visiting the pub
lie buildings, carriage and trolley rides
to many places in the city. and the
suburbs. All in the Maine party, SO far
as known. at these headquarters are
well and in good spirits. though some
few have had slight attacks of car sick
ness, and other little troubles usual to
such trips One of our party from Bidde
ford. had an attack of heart trouble but
our medical director was present and he
was taken into our headquarters and
under good care and a rest Of four or
five hours, fully recovered. The Depart
ment is now preparing to attend a recep-
ton this evening, and also for our own
parade Wednesday. TOURIST.
