CUBAN SENATOR'S
DISAGREE OVER TREATY
If the Instrument is Ratified 1t Will Be by a
Slender Majority.

Havana, March 27.-The separate re-
ports on the reciprocity treaty with the
United States were presented to the
Senate this afternoon by the Foreign
Relations Committee. One, signed by
the chairman, Senior Bustamente, the
president of the Senate, Senior Capote
and by Senator Dolz, recommended the
approval of all the amendments adopt
ed by the United States Senate.
Senator Sayas presented a report
against the ratification on account of
the action of the United States Senate
in combining the 20 per cent. reduc-
ton on the duty on Cuban sugar to
the basis of the tariff rates in the law
of 1897.
Senior Tamayo submitted the third
and adverse report upon all the
amendments. Both the minority re-
ports were rejected by the Senate. The
majority report will be discussed to-
morrow, and it is expected that it will
be approved by a small majority. Its
provision requiring the adoption of the
treaty by the United States Congress
before Dec. /, however, is generally be-
lieved to be fatal to the treaty, since
the acceptance by the United States
Senate of this provision is impossible.
President Palma had a two hours
conference at the Palace to-day with
the entire Foreign Relations Commit
tee of the Cuban Senate, at which
every endeayor was made to induce
the committee to eliminate the con-
dition regarding the limit of time in
which the reciprocity treaty is to be-
come effective. The minority, however,
persisted in it's opposition. OF the
three majority, Seniors Capote and
DOLE appeared willing to ratify the
treaty without the time limit condi-
ton provided Senior testament, the
chairman, would consent, but the lat
ter was obdurate.
President Palma and Senior Zaldo,
secretary of foreign affairs, offered to

Tige Smith. Lovndes County.

Valdosta, Ga, March 27.-News was
received here to-day of the death of
Mr. e. NJ. T. Smith, better known as
Tige Smith. which occurred at his
home several miles below this city. He
died of heart disease last night, after
an illness of about twenty-four hours.
He was one of the Oldest men of the
county and was a unique character.
He fought in the Indian war and would
have been added to the pension list in
a week or so. He made application for
a pension several years ago. but there
was some trouble in identifying him
self, as he changed his name after
that war in order to distinguish him
self from one of his sons. Mr.. Smith
is said to have furnished much of the
material for one of Mr.. Louis Pendle-
toms novels, "In the Okefinokee," the
old man having lived in the swamp
during the late war and having seen
many who went there to avoid join
ing the army.

CUBA MUST MAKE
NO AMENDMENTS

Washington, March 27.-Secretary
Hay has sent warning to Cuba that
the slightest amendment of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty by the Cuban Con-
gress, even that which proposes to
make it's ratification conditional on the
treaty's going into effect during the
current calendar year, certainly would
defeat the convention itself, since any
amendment must be submitted to the
United States Senate and before that
can be done, the date fixed for the
final exchange of ratifications, March
II, will have been passed.
1t is fully realized here that foreign
influences in Havana, which would be
affected injuriously by the treaty are
working upon Cuban pride to defeat
the ratification by attaching amend
ments to the treaty This was fully ex-
pected, and is regarded as within the
legitimate duties of diplomatic repre-
sentatives in such case, but it is be-
lieved that the effort will prove unsuc-
ceSSful.

THE WHOLE FAMILY
Benefits by Pure Food.

1t has happened in a great many
cases that one member of a family has
begun the use of the scientific food
Grape-Nuts, and some of the other
members have taken up the food and
while enjoying its delicious flavor have
been cured of various ailments and
disea ses, which had sprung from the use
of improper food. lady of st. Paul,
Mimi, gives an instance of this She
SAYS: "Our year-and-a-half old baby

"When we began to give her Grape

that time he has improved until he is

Greenville. Miss, March 27.-The sit
uation at midnight grows worse for
Greenville. Work on the protection
levee through Main street has been
abandoned, and water has reached
Washington avenue, the highest point
in the city. Appeals for help have been
coming in all night from the Tuxedo
and Brace track additions, and relief
boats are being sent continuously to
their aid.
The news comes from the additions
that people were seen clinging to roofs
of houses and to RATS to escape the
rising waters. Many lives have peen
reported lost, a woman and five chill
dren perishing in one house. but to-
morrow will tell the fate of many poor
unfortunateS.
The southern part of the city is en-
tirely under water. Houses even as
high as Central avenue are filling up
and their inmates are securing rooms
upstairs. By morning the water will
be over all parts of the city unless
another effort is made to build a pro-
lection leVee.
The city is in total darkness, the
water putting out the fires in the cleo
trio light plants. All the convicts from
Huntington came in at midnight, and
work will be resumed throwing up a

PNEUMONIA.
More Contagious Than Tuberculosis
and Kills More People.
From American Medicine.

uAu hAbAS more IeODIes
From American Medicine.
We wonder if the fact that patients
and their friends ignore the contag-
iousness of pneumonia is often due to
professional negligence. An exagger-
ated conception of the contagiousness
of tuberculosis is held by the lay world.
but pneumonia is, of course, far more
contagious. And patients and pro-
fession alike have not realized the rev
fact that the mortality of pneumonia
is in some cities and parts of the coun-
try higher than that of tuberculosis.
DR.. Reynolds of Chicago returns to
this lesson and emphasizes the neces-
sity of the following measures:
Pneumonia is a highly contagious
disease, the cause of which is a miro
organism in the sputa of those suf-
fering from the malady. and contract
ed by inhaling this germ. Therefore,
the same care should be taken to col
lect and destroy the sputa that is
taken in pulmonary tuberculosis or in
diphtheria of influenza.
During the illness the greatest pains
should be taken to prevent soiling bed
clothes, carpets or furniture with the
sputa, and after the illness the pa
TENTS room should be thoroughly
cleanSed ana ventilated. The fact that
the disease is most prevalent in the
winter season, when people are most
crowded together and live much of the
time in badly ventilated apartments,
makes obvious the necessity of thor
ough ventilation of houses, offices, fac
tories, theaters. churches, passenger
cars and other public places, in order
that the air which must be breathed
may be kept clean and free from in
fictitious matter.
Laymen should be taught not to be
afraid of a patient who has pneumonia,
influenza or tuberculosis, but to be
afraid of lack of cleanliness about him
during his illness, of failure to enforce
prophylactic measures and of close,
badly ventilated apartments during
the season when these diseases most
prevail. Since pneumonia is most ia
tai at the extremes of life-the young
and the aged-special care should be
taken to guard children and old per-
sons against exposure to the infection
of those already suffering with the dis
ease and against cold, privation and
exposure to the weather, which are
potent predisposing causes.

inform the United States government
officially that the treaty would be
ratified on the understanding that 1t
would be operative by the date de-
sired, but Senior Bustamente insisted
that it should be made a legal con-
dition of acceptance.
1t is barely possible that the trio
of Senators may make an amended re-
port tomorrow.
Advices have been received here
from the Cuban minister at Wash

OBITUARY.


Mr.. Joseph Edward Harty of this
city died at Boerne. near San Antonio,
Texas. at 10 o'clock on Thursday night
A telegram from Mr.. VIM. j. Harry
who was with him when the end came,
was received by his family early yes
terday morning. The news soon be-
came known and wherever it was heard
there were expressions of the deepest
regret. and of sympathy for the family.
Mr.. Harty's illness began over two
years ago with a severe case of
pneumonia. He recovered from this
and. in company with his sister. took
an extended trip to the West in the
hope of building up his health. lie
visited Southern Texas New Mexico
and Colorado. remaining away eight
months, when he returned to Sa-
vannah and resumed business, appar-
entity improved.
Last summer he took another long
trip, visiting Northern New York On
his return to Savannah this winter
his condition cid not improve and
in January he left for Texas, as it
was hoped that the mild climate of
that section would benefit him. Since
al IiNlilS iutits however MS COnulIlOD
gradually grew worse. He was ac-
companied by Miss Veva Harty, his
sister, and last week his brother, Mr..
VIM. j. Harty, went to him, as his
condition was thought to be critical.
Everything that the science and skill
of medicine and the kindness of family
and friends could suggest was done
to save the young mans life. but
they were of no avail. The end came
peacefully Thursday night. his broth
er and sister being at his bedside.
Mr.. Harry was the son of the late
VIM. ]. Harry and was SO years of
age. He was born and reared in Sa-
vannah and there was no more popu-
lar or esteemed young man in the
city. His was a kindly. bright and
loVable nature. He possessed a strong
personality and rare wit, and his kind
ly manner made friends of all whom
he met.
Even in his suffering he showed a
courage and fortitude that were re-
markable, but which were only an
index to his fine character. He leaves
mother, Mrs. Mary r. Harry two
brothers, Messrs. John F. and William
j. Harty, and three sisters Misses
Marie, Nellie and Veva Harry. all of
whom, have the sympathy of many
friends in their bereavement.
In business Mr.. Harry was promi-
nent, being member of the insurance
firm of Train & Harty In good
health he took an active interest in
many local organizations and was I'M
til recently a member of the Catholic
Library Association, the Hibernian
Society. the Georgia Hussars, Yacht
Club, and Atlantic Club the b. p. o.
Elks and a paymember of the Irish
Jasper Green's. When he left Savan-
nah two months ago he anticipated a
long absence from the city and re-
signed from some of these organiza-
tons.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made, owing to the uncer-
tainty as to the time of the arrival of
the remains which will leave San An
tonic some time to-day and will prob
ably reach here tomorrow night.
