ANXIOUS
FOR A CUBAN TREATY
Has Not Reached a Decision
as to What to Do.
WOULD LIKE TO ACT TODAY
Difficulties in the Way of Securing
Ratification of a Reciprocity Conven-
tion-Likelihood of an Extra Session
of the Senate This Fall.

President Roosevelt has not yet def
niteIy decided not to send a Cuban reci-
procity treaty to the Senate during the
present session Of Congress. although
the present indications are that owing
to unforeseen difficulties in the situa-
ton the matter viii 90 over to a spe-
ciaI session of the Senate This will be
decided at a conference this afternoon.
Last Friday the President was fully
determined to send in the treaty today
OF tomorrow before going TO Boston, and
it's preparation was hastened with that
intention.
It is feared now. however, that the
treaty cannot be negotiated by tele-
graph. as was intended. owing to the
fmpossibiltty Of arranging the conees-
sions to be granted United States prod
ucts imported into Cuba in return for
the proposed 20 per cent reduction on
Cuban imports into the United States.
President Eager TO Act.
The President would send the treaty
today if possible and greatly regrets the
interference with his plans To use his
own words. he would submit the treaty
this minute il it could be made ready.
but this does not appear possible even
though pIenipotentisry powers have been
cabled 10 Minister cuesada-
II the treaty does not go in at this
session. and in view Of this latest com
plieation 1t viii not. then the extra ses-
sion OF the Senate to consider it may
not be called until fall. as the President
hesitates to call the Senate back here
after they have dispersed to their homes
and this would also seriously interfere
with the numerous formal engagements
he has made for the summer months.

DENIED THAT RATHBONE
DIDN'T HAVE FAIR TRIAL
War Department Officials RidicuIe His
Statement

The officials at the War Department
ridicule the statements made by Rath-
bone that he did not receive fair trial
in Cuba. It is positively denied. and in
the most emphatic manner. too. that the
penal code of Cuba was violated in any
manner during Rathbone's trial.
When General Wood was in this city
prior to the turning over TO Cuba of the
government of the island he said. in ref
erence to the allegation by Rathbons
that he had been unfairly treated:
There Is not a word Of truth in such
a statement Rathbone was most fairly
treated and there was not the slightest
interference on the part Of myself or
any of the American officials ii Cuba.
On the contrary, We made it a point 10
keep away from the court. except when
it was necessary for one OF Us 70 appear
as witness Rathbone has 10 cause
tc complain as to his trial"
Mr. Bristow, Fourth Assistant Post
master General, said this morning in re
gard 20 Rathbole's inferentiaI remarks:
Il don't care what Rathbene SAYS. or
what he is going TO do. have nothing
TO say about that man Rathbone."

located in the forehead. Thereupon Mr..
Olmstcd gravely remarked that in the

Of obstacles IS not located in its fore

He declared that the insurrection hay-

people would never be convinced that

The bill proposed by the minority

slbiiities which in the providence of
God have been cast upon US It means
a cowardly retreat It means that. we
shall be degraded aud disgraced in The
eyes Of all the world. It means some
