ROOT ON CUBA.
Naval Secretary Has Conference
with Head of state Department.

Naval Secretary Has conference
with Head of state Department.
Washington, Nov. 15.-Before Secre-
tary Root left for New York to-day he
had long conference on the subject of
Cuba with Secretary Hay Beyond the
general statement that the conference
related to Cuban reciprocity and the
other matters included in the Platt
amendment it was impossible to ex-
tract any information as to what took
place. 1t is known that a conclusive
step has been taken within the last
few days. 1t is gathered now that the
pre- sence of Gen. Bliss, who is going
to Havana to assist the State Depart
rhent in preparing the treaty, was sug-
gested by President Palma, and that it
is also acceptable to Minister Squiers.
The negotiations for a reciprocity
treaty having been removed from
Washington to Havana, and being tech
rically now in the hands of Minister
Squiers, so far as the United States is
concerned, he is In need of assistance
when treating such complex matters as
tariff schedules.

mat the Gubans are divided upon the
question of reciprocity, especially as
regards the concessions demanded and

| BILE in the Cuban house, which seems

sent definite propositions from this
| government He will state the extreme
concession which the United States will
grant, which is 20 per cent. on Cuban
products, and viii also give the Gu
bans the lowest possible rates of con-
cessions which this country will de-
mand of Cuba. It is expected that
Gen. Bliss will endeavor to close up
the negotiations speedily, and that at
ter his preparations are made but a
very short time will be allowed the
Cubans to reply before the negotia-
tons will terminate. The opinion at
the department is that there has been
too much representation and that the
Cubans must be given to understand
that delays will not be acceptable.
