CUBAN TARIFF QUESTION
The Two Republican Factions Still
at War on this Matter.

Washington. March 10.-A number OF
senators and representatives saw the
president today and some of them talk.
ed with him concerning Cuban %reciproc-
ity. The president told some of his Wis
itors there was difficulty in determining
just what promises or representations
were made to the Cuban delegates
when they visited Washington last
summer, just previous to the adoption
OF the Plat amendment as a part of
the Cuban constitution. There was no
record of any promise, but the under
standing seemed to be that reciprocal
ARA gemen.S were TO be mad with
Cub@ Of a nature which would give the
Islands products an advantage in the
markets of the United States. In the
course of the discussion today, 1t is I'M
derstood Senator Allison remarked that
more impor, ance had been given to the
subject than was warranted; that the
proposed 20 per cent. reduction to be
granted to Cuba would not be of ma
terial advantage to the planters Of the
island. nor would such a reduction of
duty on Cuban sugar affect in any ma
terial way the beet sugar interests Of
this country.
The president expressed a desire to
secure harmony, as some OF the n
tors who saw hin said they believed
that also was the desire of the repre-
sentativeS in congress-, some of whom
thought it was quite important that the
Strained relations o not continue.
Chairman Payne of the ways n
means committee and Represen, alive
Grosvenor. also Of that committee. were
among the presidents callers. 1t was
stated that no special message was al
present in contemplation and that the
president continued to maintain the po-
sition for reciprocity he had taken in
his annual message. Mr.. Payne's asSo-
ciateS in the contest EXPRESSED the be-
lief that the reciprocity plan would
prevail in some form. In this connec-
ton there were intimations that the
senate might TAX up the question by
adding a Cuban amendment to the war
revenue or some other pending bill.
Inquiry among senators, however.
shows that there is no such intention
ard that the war revenue repeal bill
pass substantially as 1t came from the
house.
A conference OF the leaders in the op-
position which is being waged against
the ways n meal plan Of Cuban rec
iprocity was held tonight. A vote was
matter to a decisive issue tomorrow
night. and Ii was decided to have a
steering committee confer with the ele-
uents supporting the r .ciprocity plan in
order to secure an agreement for a final
iisposi ion of the subject. at tomorrow
nights meeting.

Washington, March l0.-The third
change in the cabinet OF President
Roosevelt occurred today when Secre-
tary Long submitted his resignation in
4 graceful letter. IL being accepted in
one equally felicitous by the president.
The change was made complete by the
selection OF Representative William
Henry Moody. OF the Sixth congress
sional district OF Massachusetts,. as Mt.
Longs successor in the navy depart
ment. Mr.. Moody will assume charge
of the navy department May 1st.
This change has been expected for n
long time. Mr.. Long had intended TO
retire at the beginning Of the late
President McKinley's second term, but
he consented TO remain until certain
lines of policy in which he was in
volved were more satisfactorily ar
ranged. Then when President Roose-
welt succeeded. though ANXIOUS to re-
turn to private il1e-for Secretary
Long will never again enter public life
"a strong feeling of loyalty towards
Mr.. Roosevelt induced the secretary TO
defer his retirement until it was con
venient for the president to make a
change. Mr.. Long will re-enter the
practice Of law.
The correspondence exchanged today
is as follows:

MIR. Moody's selection for the post of
secretary of the navy was the outcome
of an interesting contest. There were
no less thai a half dozen aspirants,
but the struggle finally narrowed down
to the two representatives in congress-.
Mr.. FoSs, of Illinois, chairman of the
naval committee of the house, who had
the energetic support of his western
colleagues, and Mr.. Moody, for whom
Senator Lodge made the winning fight.
1t was for a time in doubt whether
Mr.. Moody would not be placed in
some important foreign mission rather
than in the navy department, but he
preferred to stay at home.
