CUBAN TREATY DEBATE.
Senators at Havana Still Discussing the
Reciprocity Convention.

Havana, March 6-The reciprocity treaty was
up in the Senate again to-day, and the debate
was adjourned until tomorrow. The announce
ment by President Capote that the debate would
be resumed tomorrow raised a storm of disap-
prevail because the House in the regular way
would not be in session then Senior Capote,
however, quoted the rules in support Of his de-
cision, and the Senate will meet tomorrow to
discuss the treaty.
In the course Of this afternoons debate Senor
Sanguily denounced the reciprocity treaty as a
scheme on the part Of the United States, de-
signed to keep European commerce out Of Cuba
in order that she might secure the entire COM
merciaI well the political control Of the
island. Senior Silva in a long speech quoted fig
ures to prove that even if the allegations made
that the Sugar Trust and other interests would
benefit under the reciprocity treaty were true
the result could not be otherwise than bene-
fetal TO Cuba.
It has been asserted that the sugar and to-
bacco industries will make an additional profit
under the treaty of 100000 annually.
Prior to the adjournment of the House Of Rep
resentatives to-day motion was introduced by
members of the Nationalist party expressing
sympathy with Senator Sanguily because of his
favorable consideration in the Senate, prohibit
ing the sale of land to foreigners. The Con-
servative members caused an uproar Dy snout-
ing for a. vote of censure instead Of one OF SYM
pathy The clamor was Quieted by the Speaker
adJourning the House.

GERMANY's NAVAL PROGRAMME.
Some Parts Of It Withheld from General
knowledge.

Berlin, March 6.-The German Navy Depart
ment makes considerable mystery out Of some
portions Of its budget requirements. Herr Rich
ter. the Radical leader, complained in the
Budget Committee to-day that the government
is simply asking for lump sums for the main
tenance OF the feet and has not even specified
the ships or stations on which money is to be
spent. He affirmed that the Reichstag had the
right to have detailed information on the sub
ject
Admiralty Secretary Won Tirpitz replied that
the information supplied by the Navy Depart
ment was adequate. Administrative discretion
required some reserve. The increased mainte-
nance expenses were largely for vessels on for
eign service. AS a matter OF fact. Germany's s
battleships were rather behind than in advance
of the naval programme.
Herr Richter again asked for a list Of the
ships ready to be equipped for service, and for
copies Of the Cabinet orders directing the ships
to be put into. commission.
Secretary Won Tirpitz declined to furnish the
latter, but said he would hand Herr Richter per-
sonally list Of the ships ready for service. The
strong German force sent to East Asiatic waters
was. Won Tirpitz explained. assigned to that
station at the request Of the Foreign Office

AMERICAN METHODS SUPERIOR.
Candid Admissions of an Organ Of the Ger

Berlin. March 6-"Export," a trade paper de-
voted to extending German foreign trade de-
votes series of articles to studying the meth
DDS by which American goods supplantng
German goods in foreign markets. The articles
consist largely of letters from Germans living
in Mexico. Venezuela, Brazil and Australia. The
writers explain that the German houses are
being beaten because they unwilling to
guarantee agents fixed salaries. as the Ameri-
cans do, and also because they depend on send
ing out catalogues, whereas the Americans keep
stocks of goods in established agencies, where
buyers are able to purchase after seeing the
goods, and therefore prefer to deal with Amer1-
cans. The German agents, it is added, are
largely taking service with American houses
because Of the better terms offered to them and
owing to their handling exclusively American
wares.
Export" urges the German manufacturers
to abandon their penny wise, pound 1oollsn
policy and give their agents decent nXeo
Salaries. SO as to enable them to Withstand the
'fattering offers of their American competl-
tors" adding: This is all the more important
since American competition in the worlds mar

AUsTR1A's INDIRECT BOUNTY.
Germany Depending on the Action Of This
Country.

Berlin. March 6-The sugar producers Of Ger
many want the government to introduce the
Austrian system Of allotting to both reiners and
raw factories the amount Of sugar they may pro-
duce yearly. Count Won GARNER interpellated
the government in the Reichstag to-day on
what it intends to do for the sugar industry in
view Of Austria's action. He said Austrian
sugar would enjoy an advantage in the Ameri-
can and British markets unless Germany adopt
ed the allotment system.
Treasury Secretary Won Thielmann, in
nouncing that the government did not approve
Of the allotment plan said it was highly prob
able that the United States customs authorities
would carefully examine the new status Of Aus
trian sugar after September. and decide that it
enjoys an indirect bounty under the double al
lotment system. in the case of Russia's indi-
rect bounty. Moreover. continued the Secretary,
the authority for deciding whether sugar enjoys
a bounty is vested In the international commits
sion created by the Brussels treaty. Baron Won
ThielTnann gave the reasons he had for believ-
ing that the international commission would
take up the question whether Austrian sugar
would enjoy an indirect bounty.
