CUBANS PUZZLED, TOO.
The Outcome May Be an Entirely
NezC Treaty.

Havana March 20-The necessity for rsti-
fication by the Cuban Senate Of the AMENDED
reciprocity treaty has developed a situation
in which unless President Roosevelt holds that
he is authorized to extend the time for rati-
fcariou OF that which the United States senate
has already ratified, the Cuban Senate which
will not be In regular session until April D.
must be recalled and proceed to consider and
ratify the amended treaty within ten days.
period which is considered too short Under
the rules Of the Senate, there is no quorum un-
less two-thirds OF the Senators present, and
the possibility of not securing the attendance
0f the majority in favor Of ratification on &C
count OF the Indifference or inability OF the
Senators to attend makes it desirable 20 avoid
such a contingency. Foreign Secretary ZeIdo.

Patch announcing the action Of the Senate Of
the United States, summoned the Senators who
are in xhis city. to take part in a long con-
ference with President Palma which resulted
in 4 dispatch being sent TO President Roosevelt
this evening asking whether he is authorized

extension of time.
The disappointment caused here by the news
OF the adoption of the United States Senate
committees amendments to the treaty and by
the prospect Of further delay has been super

the whole TO the interests Of both countries.

FBY TELEGRAPH rc TIE rRIBUNE.i
Washington, March 2O.-Three months II the
remarkably short period in which the Navy
Department, spurred to gratifying activity by
recent criticism the unwarranted delay IN
building warships, has not only completed de-
signs for the three new 10000 ton battleships
authorized by the act Of March 8, but has deter
mined to award the contracts for their construc-
ton The circulars prescribing in detail the
characteristics Of these superb vessels and their
plans and specifications were distributed to COM
petent shipbuilding firms to-day, within three
weeks after the President had approved the
authorizing act of Congress. and the bids Will
be opened at noon on June g.
In general dimensions and features the vessels
will be practically identical with the Connecti-
cut now building at the New-York Navy Yard,
the most marked deviation being in the armor
distribution. In the Connecticut the belt arnor
tapers from the waterline, where it is seven
inches thick to the top, where it is nine inches
Its uniform thickness In the new ships will be
seven inches all over the belt, and the one inch
saved here will be added to the protection Of
the citadel the most conspicuous target of the
ship. Throughout the plans advantage has been
taken of years progress throughout the naval
world since the Connecticut was designed.
well as OF the experience had with the develop
ment Of detailed specifications for that vessel,
their prototypes in every quality Of offence and
defence
Their most notable superiority in the minds of
practical naval officers, and most gratifying to
those who have urged speed and sea endurance
In fighting vessels, is the clause which now for
the first time appears in American naval con-
tracts requiring before acceptance from the
builders twenty-four hour endurance trial at
four-1fths Of full power in addition to the Gus
tomary four hours maximum power run over
the measured course, and where the Connecticut
and the Louisiana, designed last year, are barely
to reach eighteen knots speed, to-day's ships
must exceed eighteen knots. The Navy Depart
ment is assured Of competition between several
companies for the ships. and 1t Is extremely
unlikely that any Of them will be constructed In
government yards
The admirals Of the Board on Construction
are pressing energetically toward agreement on
the two 13, 0O0-ton battIeships authorized on
March 3, and have under consideration two al
tentative sketches-one for q ship Of high speed
and comparatively low battery power, and the
other Of comparatively slow speed and tre-
mendous offensive and defensive qualities. A
decision between these types, involving. as II
does, abstruse questions Of strategic policy
may not be reached for several weeks.
