TO THE HELP OF CUBA
President Roosevelt Comes with
a Special Message for
Tariff Reduction.
SALIENT POINTS OF THE DOCUMENT
How 1t Is Received by the Republic
ans Who Differ on the
Subject.

Washington, June IA. - Pres ident
Roosevelt played his last card in his
fight for Cuban reciprocity yesterday
when he sent a message to congress
urging the passage of the measure
which he has supported from the start
The president returned from West
Point to find the opposition in high
spirits The friends of reciprocity in
the senate, where the fight is now CEN
tered, were in the dumps-thOugh not
ready to admit they were whipped
for the ''insurgents' had mustered
thirteen Republicans against the adj
ministration plan. 1t looked black for
Cuban reciprocity.
"Insurgents" Express Their Regret.
Some of the insurgents" were at
the White House, and expressed regret
that the president had seen fit to push
the matter so strenuOusly. They say
they cannot retreat, and if the presi-
dent thinks they are outside the party
eastworks in persisting in their
course, they can't help it. They point
to the fact that the house members
from Michigan who fought Cuban rec
iprocity have been indorsed by their
constituents. How, then, they ask,
can they back water at this time? The
administration senators shut their
teeth and say the straight reciprocity
must win, but the consensus of opinion
is that nothing at all will be done this
session.
Salient Points of the Message.
The message calls attention to what
the president said in his message of
December last on the subject Of reci-
procity with Cuba, and declares that
message merely gives practical eff
feet to McKinley's words, which he
also quotes. He tells congress that
yesterday, June II, l received by
cable from the American minister in
Cuba a most earnest appeal from
President Palma for Legislative relief
before it is too late and my [this]
country financially ruined.'" He says
that reciprocity with Cuba stands en-
tirely alone and the reasons for grant
ing it far outweigh those in favor of
any other nation.
Will Not Injure Any Industry.
He declares that such reciprocity
will not injure any United States i'll

pendent republic, but republic which

NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION
Both Parties Inclined to Claim Advantage
From the Message.

Both Parties Inclined to Claim Advantage
From the Message.
The reciprocity message gave Sena-
tors a live topic of conversation, but
so far as is yet apparent there is no
change in the situation. There was g
disposition on the part of the leaders
on both sides of the controversy to
claim, when speaking publicly, some
advantage from the message. The
straight reciprocity men urged that the
effect would be to cause at least some
of the beet sugar Republicans to aban-
don their opposition. They contended
that many of them had misunderstood
the attitude Of the president, and now
that this had been made clear there
could be no longer excuse for oppos-
ing straight reciprocity measures.
The message, they argued, would
clear the atmosphere, render the pres
ident's attitude unmistakable, and
therefore bring opponents within the
party face 70 face with the fact that
in continuing their opposition they are
anita gonizing the official head of the
party.
eve have known all the time where
the president stood on this subject,
and have told the Republican Oppo-
nents of reciprocity just what the
facts are,' said a leading reciprocity
senator. "They refused to accept our
assurances, and prOfessed to have eX-
pressions from the president to the
contrary. The message confirms all
that we have said to them. 1t clears
the atmosphere, and necessarily the
result must be beneficial for a reci-
procity BILL
The beet sugar leaders declared at
the close Of the day that the message
had caused no loss whatever to them,
and that all those senator who had
stood with them are still with them.
They also asserted that the preSi-
dents interposition in the matter had
had the effect Of causing to hesitate
some senators who heretofore had not
taken q positive stand against reduc-
ton. because of the feeling that the
president should leave congress to
deal with the subject in it's present
stage
Senator DIETRICH was among the
most outspOken of the beet sugar men,
and he made an unsuccessful effort to
secure the attention Of the chair after
the reading of the message. Those who
are in his confidence say it was his
purpose to move for the discharge of
the committee from the further con-
sideration of the house bill, in order
TO permit the immediate consideration
of that measure There is still more
or less canvaSSing of the wisdom of
holding a Republican caucus, and it
is probable that ultimately che will
be held, but no date is now mentioned.
