CUBAN GOVERNMENT TELLS
UNCLE SAM He MUST MOVE

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The state and
navy departments in Washington are
rather surprised at request just received
from the government of Cuba. The request
is that the bureau of equipment of the
navy department at once Yacate the
wharves used by the navy for coaling
purposes at Triscornia. just across the
bay from Havana.
During the military occupation Of the
island the army leased large warehouses
at this point and constructed a large
wharf. After the evacuation on May 10Th
the navy department placed a large
amount Of coal upon the wharves, as it
was very convenient for vessels coaling in
the West Indies.
The Cuban government has asked,
through Minister Squires, that this gov
eminent cease at once using this point as
a coaling place. AS the wharves were con-
structed by the United States army, the
request is considered uncalled for.

ROOSEVELT Is PLEASED
WITH MINNESOTA PLANK

WASHINGTON. July 12-President
Roosevelt believes that by the time con-
gress comes together again that the de-
mand for reciprocity with Cuba by the
people viii be overwhelming. 1t is for
this reason that he intends to make Gu
ban reciprocity a feature of his speeches
this summer and fall. This is also the
feeling Of the senators who stood by the
president and reciprocity during the ses-
sion just passed.
The president is pleased more with the
Cuban plank in the Minnesota Republican
conventions platform than with the SINH
lar plank in the platform Of any other
state. II meets his ideas exactly and it
seems the sentiment Of the Republicans OF
the state Of Minnesota regarding Cuba is
not what the president has been led to be-
lieve from talks with the Minnesota dele
cation in congress.
