TO PRESS TREATY
GENERAL BLISS TO GIVE IT HIS
EARLY ATTENTION.
DOCUMENT IN THE SENATE SOON
The Islanders Said to Be Anxious to
Procrastinate-They Think other
Nations May Do Better Than the
United States.

WASHINGTON Tasker Fl.
Bliss will sail for Cuba on Saturday,
If he can secure accommodations; if
not, he VIII go by way OF Tampa and
reach Havana early next week.
1t is the intention of those interested
in the commercial treaty with Cuba
to have it ready if possible in three
weeks and General Bliss will endeavor
to adjust the differences by that time.
1t is considered important to have it
sent to the senate before the holiday
recess as it will require a two-thirds
vote to ratify the treaty and deter
mined minority in the senate could
postpone action for some time.
Those best informed regarding con-
ditions existing in the island do not
expect any speedy action. They be-
lieve that a large number of Cubans
are opposed to granting the conces-
sions the United States will demand,
and there is reason to suppos they
may test the effectiveness of the Platt
amendment by entering into negotia-
tions with other countries regarding
trade relations.
The position which the American
government holds in Cuba and not its
relations with the leading foreign ma
tions are such that it is not believed
other governments would care to
make any treaty which was not sane
tiOned by the United States. There is
even some talk that the negotiations
with Cuba might be brought 10 a salts
factory conclusion should it appear.
that the representatives of foreign gov
crnments at Havana had been in
structed not to enter into any negotia-
tions until treaty had been conclud-
ed with the United States, but it is
scarcely expected that such instruc-
tions can be obtained.
1t is the desire of this government to
leave the negotiations, should they
fail, in such shape that it will not ap-
pear that an attempt had been made to
extort from Cuba more than the
United States was willing to give.
1t is said that a commercial treaty
will be necessary to establish Cuba on
such basis that it can float it's pro-
posed loan. With all negotiations
hung up and strained relations exist
ing between the old and new republics
it is believed that there would be diff
Guilty in selling the bonds. At the same
time this government does not wish
to appear in the attitude of holding
a club over the Cuban government. 1t
is therefore probable that in case the
negotiations fail a statement of what
was demanded by the United States
and the reasons why the concessions
were asked will be made.

MANILA-Cholera made its appear
ance on Wednesday among the men of
a detachment of the Fifth infantry,
stationed here. Seven men have al
ready died and a number of others are
seriously i'll.
The detachment of the Fifth infan-

MIR. BLAkE'S ADDRESS.

After some introductory remarks bear
ing on the general subject Mr.. Blake
said that the question had often been
propounded to him. of what use are
Trustees, and why should not the office
be abolished? He explained that there
is II necessity for them because of the
larg" number of schools and the impoS-
Sibility that these, including grounds.
buildings. etc. could be properly super
viSed by the commissioners Hence the
law of Maryland gives into the care of
the Trustees. the buildings. grounds. APP
pnratuS, and all that pertains to the
schools: requires the Trustees to have
general oversight over them and to visit
them frequently.
He said that the suggestion as to abol-
iShing the office of Trustee had arisen
out of the neglect. in many cases most
lamentable. of the Trustees To attend to
their duties even though they had sworn.
according To law. to faithfully do so.
He expressed the hope that one result of
this subject being thus discussed would
be II more general faithfulncsS on the
part of Trustees. He said that there
were exceptions and that some of these
Trustees We're models of faithfulneSS.
He explained the law in regard to the
appointment of teachers. which. in the
ease of principals. is lodged with the
Trustees. In particular he called atten-
Ition to Il change in the law of removals
of teachers by Trustees. made by the last
Legislature in that when teacher is
served with thirty days notice in writing
| by Trustees. for her removal. she can
now ask for the reasons, which must BE-
given in writing. and thereupon she can
now appeal to the Commissioners. and
| they can ratify or reverse the action of
the Trustees Thus the rights of the
| teachers are preserved
In closing he suggested that the teach
erS more frequently invite the Trustees
to come to the schools. especially on set
occasions. This he thought would con
duee To the increase of interest 50 much
desired.
