RATlElES TREATY

Havana. March 2o.-The treaty OF

Mt S o'clock last night In the Cuban
Senate by a vote of l: TO Q. This ap-
proyal is absolute and is not hampercd
by any Conditions. the questionable
time limit amendment having been dis
pensed with through the receipt OF the
cable message from Secretary Hay. In
which II was positively declared that
President Roosevelt would call n spe-
cial session Of Congress prior to Dc

tlerstandin.: having been reached pre-
yiously with Senators Bustamente. Ca
note and DOLE. composing the majority
Of the foreign relations committee, that
tho objectionable condition in the re-
mort be eliminated. This was done by
the Offering OF amendpents by other
senators substituting the adoption oil
the amendments to the treaty by the
American Senate for the qualified ac-
ccptance contained in the original re-
port.
United States Minister Squiers said
tonight to the representative of the
Associated Press: THE ratification OF
the treaty without amendment is due
almost entirely to the assurances given
by President Roosevelt that he will call
an extra session of Congress before De-
cember LIST. This action of the Presi-
dent will be appreciated and accepted
by the Cuban government and people
as an additional evidence OF the most
sincere friendship and interest on the
part of the Americans. in whom they
have had faith and confidence.
