ROOSEVELT URGES
CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Sends Special Message to Con-
gress Recommending
Tariff Reduction.
STRONG PLEA is MADE
EeIteretes Former Declaration That
q the United States IL Morally
Bound to Pass q RecIpro-
city Measure.

Washington, June 16.-After talking
with a number OF the leaders In con-
gress regarding Cuban reciprocity,
President Roosevelt today determined
to send a message to congress affirming
his attitude on the subject. The presl-
dent las earnestly considered the mat
ter several days. and It is stated that
the action of the anti~-reciprocity repub-
lican senator's yesterday in deciding to
hold out against the policy advocated
by the majority OF the party did not
influence the president in the least In
deciding to transmit his message TO
congress today.
The presidents action, 1t may be
stated from sources close TO him, was
influenced on the bround ground of the
duty OF the United States TO Cuba n
OF fairness to the new republic. IL has
been pointed out to the president that
his warmest political supporters are In
the section of country where there Is
the greatest opposition to reciprocity
west and northwest-and that he
should remain content with the stand
he had taken without actuating his
views in q special message. 1t Is
known, however, hat the president did
not hesitate TO arrive at the conclusion
that he would not let his political pros
poets interfere with what he regarded
as his plain duty. The president was
further led to conclude that the rela-
tons Of the United States and cuba
must necessarily grow closer, n hat
the United States should not at the
outset, after it's declared purposes
toward the island, assume a position
contrary thereto, and thus arouse the
suspicious of the Cuban government as
to our real intentions toward 1t. 1t Is
stated that the presidents positive dec
laration in his message today as to the
duty OF congress will probably end his
active efforts to bring about recip-
rOCity,

his head the explosion occurred. The entire
front of the store was blown out, and the rear
portion Of the floor fell into the cellar There
were five customers in the place at the time
They were standing the door, and all were
knocked down Wilkins and Miss Richards re-
ceived the full force Of the explosion. They were
also enveloped in flames, and their clothing

beyond the date of retirement, as was done in
the case Of Judge Advocate General Lemly.
admiral Melville will go the retired list under
operation of law on January 10. 1903 The

commission as such expires. Rear Admiral A.

of Supplies and Accounts until May 5. 1908,
he reaches the age of compulsory retirement
This decision Of the President is in the
ture of a surprise, as it confidently expected
by a number of candidates for both places that
vacancies in those chiefshps would be available
Tor nllfng on the retirement of Paymaster Gen
eral Kenny and Rear Admiral Melville. This
does not necessarily solve the embarrassment Of
selection. which must finally be made by the
PRESIDENT from a long list of applicants. In
