less there is a ehange for the better at
Havana
The most important complaint which
this Government has to make is in re-
gard TO the Indifference displayed by the
Cuban authorities toward general
treaty, which, il is learned, was negoti-
ated secretly in Washington on the lines
of the obligations imposed on Cuba by
the PIatt amendment.
Among other things the amendment
required that sites for coaling stations
in the island should be ceded to the
United States. Although this treaty was
forwarded to Havana months ago no at
tentbOn has been paid to it. so far as
this Government is aware, by President
Palma and his cabinet.
This convention is regarded as of the
great est Importance 10 the United
States, and the fact that it has appar-
emily been ignored, has irritated and
surprised the heads of the Government.
Just what will be done II nothing is
heard from Cuba within reasonable
pericd has not been determined, but
this matter will be taken up when Presi-
dent Roosevelt has fully recovered from
his fndisposition.

CUBA'S INGRATITUDE
MAY MAKE TROUBLE
Seeming Disposition to Evade Obligations to America
Causing Restessness in the United States

The Administration is growing rest
less over the seeming disposition of the
Cuban government TO eyade the obli-
cations it assumed by the incorporation
of the Platt amendment into the consti-
tuition of the republic. Since the failure
OF Congress to adopt a reciprocity ar
rangement with Cuba the insular nation
a. authorities have not apparently been
disposed TO grant any favors to the Unit
ed States or to redeem the debt i'm
posed on them by the action of this Gov
ernment in freeing the island from Span
ish sovereignty.
This feeling has manifested itself IN
the demand for the withdrawal of the
handful of American troops maintained
in Cuba, and objection, not formally
expressed, however, to permitting re-
pairs 10 be made at Havana to the big
floating dock which the United States
bought from Spain at that port.
The idea that Cuba is showing ingrati-
tude ana suspicion toward the United
States is prevalent in Administration
circles. and it is believed by the Presi-
dents advisors that a vigorous protest
against the republics failure TO redeem
its solemn pledges should be made un-

MODELS OF THE GRANT
STATUE REVIEWED
Committee Fails to An
nounce Its Decision.
SITE UNDER CONSIDERATION
Not Likely That Verdict Will Be Rem
dered Until Senator Wetmore's
Views Are Obtained.

Gen. Grenville NJ. Dodge, president OF
the Army of the Tennessee and presi-
dent of the Grant Statue Commission,
with Secretary Root who is also a
member of the commission, yesterday
viewed the models of the proposed statue
now on exhibition in the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art.
They also visited the alternate sites
in the White Lot, and discussed both
the question of location and of model.
They failed to announce a decision in
regard to either matter owing to the alb
and, who, as chairman of the Joint Com
mittee on Library, is the third member
of the commission.
General Dodge and Secretary Root
have practically reached conclusion,
and as soon as Senator Wetmore has an
opportunity to give the matter his at
tention decision as to both matters
will be announced. 1t is expected that
this will be done within a short time.
Choice Between Two.
So far as the models are concerned
there is little doubt but that of the
thirty submitted the choice lies between
the Shrady and Neihuas models, with
the chances in favor of the former.
Two sites are under consideration, one
Immediately in the rear of the State,
War and Navy building and oppo-
site the Corcoran Gallery of Art in
the space corresponding to that directly
back of the Treasury, where the Sher-
man statue is to be placed. The other
location is back of the White House
within the northern portion of the ell
lipse. The former is the better of the
two. and it is believed by many that it
will be selected. The selection of this
location involves the possible removal
of the White Ho,ise stables on Seven
teenth opposite f Street. This site is
$500 feet from the Washington Monu-
ment.
