The Presidents Message.

WASHINGTON, June -. - President
Roosevelt sent a special message to
Congress this afternoon reiterating his
former recommendations for the pass
age Of law crestlog reciprocity with
Cuba, and presenting additional areu'
ments thereon. The message contains
no reference to the reosIt disclosures
regarding the appropriation by General
Wood OF Cuban fu1ds for the cir
cuIslion OF reciprocity literature.
The President quotes passages
from bis message to Congress
last December 10 which be made
certain recommendation concerning
the relations OF this country with
Cuba. Among ether things he says
the granting OF lee prociiy with Cul o
ia a proposition which slsnds entirely
alone. The reasons for it far out Weigh
those for granting reciprocity with any
other nations, and are entirely con-
sistent with preserving intact the pro-
tectlye system under which this ooun-
try has tbriven go marvelously.
He also says the present tariff law
was designed to promote the adop-
ton OF such a reciprocity treaty,
and expressly provided for reduction not to
exceed 20 per cent upon goods coming from
a particular courtry, leaving the tariff rates
on these same articles unchanged az regards
all other countries. He devotes some space
in order to subslantiste this Btandpoint BE
calls attention 10 the fact that the fears Ci
many persons regarding the effect the ad-
mis- ion Of the Sand wicb Island products would
have on this country were proved bsseless BY
the logic of results. Further on the President
says il Is TO our advantage rs natlon that
the growing Cuban market be controlled By
American producers and be ssfs that certain
spe, ial economic concessions be made that
will be for the benefit Of both the island and
this country He closes bis message with a
resume Of the causes Of the Spanish war, the
part this country played in freei Cuba and
the duty the United States owes to tle infant
republic.

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 1s, 1902.

CUBA now seems to be between the
unpar and the neither millstones. The
administration has promised relief, but
30 far has been unable to fulfill its
promises and the fight between the beet
suesr men and the Cuban reciprocity
advocates goes merrily on. The dis
closures respecting Gen. Woods pay
mert of money to q sugar trust sger
to promote interest in the legislation
providing for reciprocity with Cuba has
precipitated q crisis 10 the Legislative
situation, and the last effort OF the
friends OF the reciprocity DILL Is to bt
made during the next four days. Inc
President has fastened back to Wash
ineton, and 8 majority of the repubil'
can Senators have determined that the
fsht must be made now and brought
10 a conclusion as soon as possible, no
mater how it terminstss. All the
pressure which can be brought to beer
upop the beet sugar men will be exert
ed. Whatever party discipline, sup
Dol ID by the Influence of the Presi-
dent, can accomplish will be done, and
in the end, according to present pros
poets, the President and the Senate
advocates of the reciprocity bill may
vet be defeated. Ia spite of the efforts
by Messrs. Aldficb, Plat, and other
leaders In the majority to show that
the testimony Of Thurber that be re-
ceived money from General Wood with
the approval OF the War Department,
and also from the sugar trust for the
same purpose, has really no bearing
upon the proposed legislation, it has
materially affected sentiment. None OF
the democrats, it Is now stated, will
support the bill unless it also carries
some provision against the trust, while
the beet sugar republicans feel that
they now have the best position In the
fEht, and are more than ever deter
mined to stand against the legislation
the President wishes.
