The treaty submitted to you for APP

economic advantages as great as those

large Cuban market is secured to our
producers. 1t is a market which lies
at our doors, which is already large,
which is capable of great expansion,
and which is especially important to
the development of our export trade.
1t would be indeed short-sighted for
us to refuse to take advantage of such
an oportunity and to force Cuba into
making arrangements with other
countries to our disadvantage.

ARE In HONOR BOUND
TO LOOK OUT FOR CUB
The Message of the President Touching the Reel
procity Treaty

Washington, ov 1O.-The President S
message, read in both houses to-day,
was as follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: 1 have convened the Con-
gress that it may consider the legisla-
ton necessary to put into operation
the commercial treaty with Cuba
which was ratified by the Senate at it's
last session, and subsequently by the
Cuban government.
1 deem such legislation demanded
not only by our interest, but by our
honor. We cannot with propriety ADAM
don the course upon which we have
so wisely embarked. When the accep-
lance of the Plat amendment was re-
quired from Cuba by the action of the
Congress of the United States, this
government thereby definitely COM
mitted itself to the policy of treating
Cuba as occupying a unique position
as regards this country. 1t was pro-
vided that when the island became a
free and independent republic, she
should stand in such close relations
with us as in certain respects to come
within our system of international pol
icy; and it necessarily followed that
she must also to a certain degree be-
come included within the lines of our
economic policy.
Situated as Cuba is, it would not be
possible for this country to permit the
strategic abuse of the island by any
foreign military power. 1t is for this
reason that certain limitations have
been imposed upon her financial policy
and that naval stations have been con-
coded by her to the United States. The
negotiations as to the details of these
naval stations are on the eve of COM
pletion. They are so situated as to
prevent any idea that there is the in
tentiOn ever to use them against Cuba,
or otherwise than for the protection of
Cuba against foreign foes, and for the
better safeguarding of American in
terests in the waters south of us.
These interests have been largely in
creased by the consequences of the war
with Spain, and will be still further
increased by the building of the 18TH
milan canal. They are both military
and economic. The granting to us by
Cuba of the naval stations above al
luded to is of the utmost importance
from military standpoint, and is proof
of the good faith with which Cuba is

Jury at waycrOss Found Him In
nOcent of Murder.
Waycross, Ga, Nov. 10.-In Ware
Superior Court this morning the case
of James T, Spence, a young lawyer
of this city, on the charge of murder,
was taken up. About three years ago
at Waresboro several shots were fired
from train, bullet striking a little
colored girl, which resulted in her
death shortly after.
A young man named Sears was at
first arrested, charged with the crime,
but the case against him was mol
pressed, and the grand jury secured
evidence enough against young Spence
to find a true bill against him for the
crime but the case has been postponed
until the present term of court. Most
of the day was consumed in hearing
the evidence, and the arguments of
the attorneys, and soon after the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty.

These prices were recorded in the
last half hour, but just before the
