Special Cable Despatch to The SUN.

HAVANA, Feb. l0-At a meeting OF the
Senate and House Foreign committees,
President Palma was asked why the Ameri-
cans are pressing the matter Of coaling
stations. Sefor Palma replied that the
United States wanted to have it's claims
recognized before the present Congress at
Washington closed its session in order that
the necessary funds might be voted to go
ahead with the preparations for establish
ing the stations.
The opinion was expressed that it should
be agreed that the Americans would not
allow commercial establishments within
the zones to be acquired. II was alsO
urged that the sites should he leased and
not ceded to the United States, and that
the conditions tn govern police and sanitary
matters and the customs should he clearly
defined 1t was urged that the Cuban Gov
ernment acquire the land from private
owners who are not Americans. II was
recently announced that the Cuban Gov
ernment did not wish to settle the question
of coaling stations until the fate Of the
reciprocity treaty was known.
Ii is understood that the American Gov
ernment will accept two instead of four
stations, originally asked for. These two
will be at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda
1t was stated at the meeting that the haste
of the Americans was due TO the Venezuelan
crisis, and that this should he taken ad-
vantage of by Cuba.
At a meeting Of the Cabinet it was de-
cided that all arms in Cuba should be col
lcctcd in an armory to be established at
