FiILURE or CUBAN TREATY.
Onicers or the War Department Say It's
the Fault Of the state Department.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3O.The failure OF
the state Department to secure the
adoption by Cuba Of new tariff treaty
L. being crit iclsed by offic r. Of the
War Department, who are Informed a.
60 the Dlau for treaty laid before
the State Department 10y Secretary Root
II IL declared that had Secretary Roots
scheme been followed 10y Secretary Hay
there would have beel. no trouble whatever
IN securing III" approval of Cuba to H.,
and that the Cuban Congress would have
agreed to the tariff schedule a. arranged
by Gen. Tasker NJ Bliss. which did not
effect a reduction in the Cuban revenues
bu, on the contrary, provid, ID for an in
crease.
Soon after the withdrawal Of the American
Government from Cuba, and at the time
President Roosevelt was urging upon Con-
gress the adoption of a reciprocal arrange
ment with Cuba, Gen. Bliss was directed
by Srcrt tiry Root to prepare tariff sched
ule which should be- satisfactory to both the
United States and cuba. This schedule was
prepared with little delay and transmitted
To the state Depart ment for presentation
TO the CUBAN Government. In preparing
the new tariff Gen Bliss and Secretary Root
used a. a b sis the tarlff which was then
in operation in Cuba and which had been
put into effect by Gen Bliss, who was thor
oughly familiar with the revenue IL pro-
ducad. His scheme was that this tariff
should remain H. il was for imports from
the United States. while higher rate Of
duty should DO imposed on imports from
other countries.
II was the opinion of Gen. Leonard
Wood, then Military Governor of the island,
and Gen Bliss that Cuba could not afford
to make reduction in the tariff then in
operation, as il would lessen Cuban revenues,
but what could be done was to increase the
duty on goods coming from count ries other
than the United States. In their opinion
Cuba was willing 10 accept such tariff
schedule.
The State Department, however, did not
follow this scheme. but drafted a new
tariff, retaining the existing tariff upon
goods from foreign countries and making
reductions in favor of the United States.
The Cuban officials Say hat this will not pro-
due" sufficient revenue and have. largely
on tha, ground, re jectcd II. In the opinion
of officers of the War Department this was
to have been expected, and should the
tariN schedule a. prepared by Gen Bliss be
offered to Cuba they believe il will be
accepted.

The gathering of the North Atlantic,
South Atlantic and European squadrons
of our navy at Culebra Island for the
winter fleet manpuvres will bring to-
gcthcr more flag officers than We have
had in company for many years, and
will reviv" for a time those once famous
and mysterious ranks of Admiral of
the Red, Admiral of the White and
Admiral Of the Blue" which hundred
years ago or so were held by noted
English sea commanders We never had
them in our navy, though the pres
ent division of our Rear Admirals' list
into senior and a junior section repro
duces, except in name, the English grades
of Admirals of the Red, the White and
the Blue. Those brilliant titles simply
divided each of the three ranks of Adj
miralS Of the British Navy into three
grades, making nine in all, just as We
have now three grades. though only two
ranks, of flag officers: Admiral and Rear
Admiral.
In our navy we have changed the
precedence OF the colors, 50 that a senior
flies a blue flag, his next in rank a red
one, and the junior white flag, each
with the two stars Of his rank Al Guile
bra we shall have Admiral DEWEY fly
ing the four-stlrrcd blue flag of full
Admiral; Rear Admiral HIGGINSON, COM
handing in chief the North Atlantic
squadron, flying the blue flag Of the
senior Rear Admiral, with its two white
stars; Rear Admiral SUMNER, command

Rear Admiral CROwSISsHIELD, COM

Rear Admiral CoGHLAN, commanding
the West Indian division of the North
Atlantic squadron, who will fy white

ship if it has three masts, to show his
rank as baby Admiral"
These flags will be flown only when
all the Admirals are together When
the manpuvres are ended. and Admiral
DEwEY'S fleet resolves itself into its
component squadrons, each Rear Admiral
will haul down the white or red flag of
his iuniority Hs soon as he gets out of
sight Of his seniors, and fly the blue flag
with two stars again; and the Admirals
of the Blue, White and Red will again
become matters of history

abandoned, much to the disgust of Mrs
