REFINERs TO GEL BENEFIT
Testimony of Congressman Broussard
Concerning Concessions on
Cuban Sugar.

WASHINGTON, May sO-Congressman
Broussard today continued his testimony
before the subcommittee OF the senate com
mittee on Cuban relations. He said that
the sources Of his information as to Amer
lean Investments In Cuba were confidential.
but that II was common talk In Havana
that large investments have been made
there.
In support OF his contention that the
American sugar rehners would secure prac-
tically all the benefit Of the proposed re-
duction OF tariff on Cuban sugar, the wit
ness said that Louisiana sugar would be
used to force down the price on Cuban
sugar and Cuban sugar to force down the
price on Louisiana sugar.

at length. Senator Teller attempted to en-
ter upon a course Of inquiry with this wit
ness to develop the condition Of labor IN
Cuba, but Senator Plat objected on the
ground that the labor problem is not in
cluded in the question on which the inves-
t~igation is being made.
In reference to American holdings in
Cuba he said that his information is that
there are thirty or forty plantations in
Cuba owned by Americans.
When Mr.. Clark was excused Senator
Clark announced that he hoped to be able
to call the full committee together at an
early day to consider the house bill, but
that he was not yet prepared to announce

Queen Alexandra and others of Royal
Family, with ambassador Choate
and Secretary white View
the Demonstrations.

LONDON, May SO.-The birthday Of King
Edward, who was born November 0. 1871.
was oflcially celebrated today, it having
been decided, as announced in the Oflcial
Gazette April 10, that his majesty's natal
day was to be celebrated in home stations
on May 80, as the most suitable time for
military display. On the other hand foreign
stations will celebrate IL November ,, the
actual anniversary OF his maiesty's birth.
General interest in the celebration was
apparently not seriously diminished by the
expectations Of the greater series Of events
surrounding the coronation. The towns
throughout the kingdom were gaily deco
rated and the shipping at the various ports
made the gayest displays of bunting. The
day was observed at all the home military
band naval headquarters with parades aud
salutes.
The chief celebration was the ceremony
Of "trooping the ~colors.'' on the Horse
Guards parade here, and the presentation
Of colors to the new Irish Guards. Stands
covered with crimson cloth were erected on
three sides of the parade ground and were
occupied by thousands Of privileged spec
tators, including the United States ambas-
sador, Joseph H. Choate, and Mrs. Choate
and the secretary OF the United States en-
bassy, Henry White. Thousands of others
were grouped closely around the lines of
s%entries.
The troops taking part In the ceremonies
were battalions Of the Irish guards, Grena-
der guards, Scots guards and attachments
Of the life guards. Tremendous cheering
greeted the appearance Of the king and his
brilliant escort, which Included many nota-
bilities. His majesty, who rode between
the prince of Wales and the duke Of Con-
naught, wore the uniform Of colonel Of the
Irish guards.
Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief OF
the forces, who led the procession, also wore
the uniform Of colonel of the Irish guards.
Queen Alexandra and other members OF
the royal family viewed the scene from the
windows Of the Horse guards. The crowds
present barred their heads while his maj
esty proceeded to the saluting point. After
an inspection Of the line of troops and the
presentation of the colors the ceremonies
ended with a review Of all the troops on the
ground.
The king during the afternoon presented
colors to the kings company of the Grena.
