United States subsequently enacted.
THE rates of duty herein granted by the
United States to the republic OF Cuba are
and shall continue during the term of
said convention preferential in respect to
all like imports from other countries:
Provided that while said convention is in
force no sugar imported from the repub-
| lie of Cuba and being the product Of the
soil or industry of the republic OF Cuba

DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE
On Cuban Bill Will Be Settled at Sat-
urday Night Caucus.

Washington. Nov. 12.-The Democratic
attitude on the Cuban bill as we'll as its
general policy on public questions is tc
he tho subject of a caucus Of the minor
ity members of the House, Saturlay
night. meeting of the minority mem
bels of the ways and means committee
was held. tonight, for the purpose of out
lining several amendments to the Cuban
bill. These amendments will include one
removing the differential on refined sugar
and the elimination from the treaty of
that portion of Article s which binds the
United States government not to reduce
the duties on sugar for n period of five
years. Should these amendments fail the
indications are that the minority mem
bers of the House will support the Cuban
bill.
In explaining the reasons for the
amendment proposed. Mr.. Williams, the
Democratic floor leader. said that the
Democratic party, in his opinion could
not afford to allow without protest the
enactment of legislation which was an
attempt. although an Intellectual one. to
bind future Congresses and future adj
ministratons by a pledge against the fu.
ture of duties upon any articles with
any country The right to abrosato the
treaty, he said. ought to be reserved in
this instance. as it is reserved in all trca-
ties. upon due notice being given.
Mr.. Williams expressed the hone that
the Democratic caucus. Saturday NIGHT
would adopt Il resolution making the ar-
ton of the caucus binding on all thog,.
who participated in the deliberations.

OF COURSE THEY'RE BRAVE
Lieut.. Curtin and Seanen Save the
Lawrence from Destruction.

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 12.-The herosm
of Lieut.. Roland I. Curtin and Several
seamen on Board the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Lawrence. today, saved that
craft from destruction.
A lighted cable left by workman
on a wooden box in the vessels for
ward compartment caused a fire which
burned much of the Lawrence's wood
work before it was eXtinguished by
Lieut.. Curtin and some Scamen just be-
fore the flames reached the magazine
in which q quantity of explosives We're
stored. In the battle against the flames
Lieut.. Curtin and four seamen We're
overcome by smoke and lost conscious
ness after the fight was won and were
hurried on board the cruiser Olympia
for treatment. Their condition is not
serious.
The fire occurred i'm stuffy compart-
ment directly adjoining the magazine
The place was filled with a dense smoke
that batIled the efforts of the crew and
caused them to fall helpless to tho steel
floor. Time and again Lieut. Curtin dived
into the fire chamber and emerged with
the unconscious form of a seaman in his
grasp. After a hurried rcsuscitation the
seaman and his officer would return to the
fight only to again Succumb to the smoke.
Finally the flames were cXtinguished
