SAYS TREATY AMENDMENTS
MUST BE RATIFIED.
OREELSE TWILL BE VOID
Secretary of State Says Anything
Making Treaty Conditional Will
InvaIidate lt-Cuban Senate Turns
Amendments Down and Will RatI-
fly Measure by Small Majority.

Washington, March 2S.-Secretary
the slightest amendment of the reci-
procity treaty by the Cuban congress,
even that which proposes to make its
ratification conditional on the treaty
going into effect during the current
calendar year, certainly would defeat
the convention itself, since any amend
ment must be submitted to the United
States senate and before that can be
done the date fixed for the final ex-
change of notifications, March 81, wiii
have hec1 raised. 1t is fully realized
] ere that foreign influences in Ha-
vana which would be affected inJur-
iously by the treaty are working upon
Cuban pride to defeat ratification by
attaching amendments to the treaty.
Will Ratify Measure.
Havana. March 2S.-Three separate
reports on the reciprocity treaty with
the United States were presented to
the senate yesterday afternoon by the
foreign relations committee. One is
signed by the chairman, Senior Busta-
mente, the president of the senate,
Senior Capote, and by Senator Dolz,
recommending the approval of all the
amendments adopted by the United
States senate. Zayas presented a re-
port against the ratification, and Ia
mayo submitted the third and adverse
report upon all the amendments. Both
Tamayo's and Zayas' reports were re-
iected by the senate. The majority
report will be discussed today and it
is expected it will be approved by
small majority It's provision requlr-
ing the adoption of the treaty by the
United States congress before Dec. 1,
however, is generally believed to he
fatal to the treaty, since the accept
ance by the United States senate oil

Waters Rushing Through a Levee Break
at GreenWIIe, Miss.
Flooding Thousands of Acres Of Finest
Yazoo Delta Lands
People Preparedness Of Life will be Re-
duced to Minimum

Greenville, Miss, March ga vol
ume of water 16 feet deep and over
500 feet in width is pouring through
a crevasse in the levee five miles south
of here and flooding thousands of acres
of the finest farming land in the cele-
brated Yazoo delta. The roar of the
rushing waters is easily heard in here.
When the first report of the break
reached Greenville the excitement was
intense and many people began to
collect their valuables and held them
selves in readiness to move at a mo-
ment's notice. Last night the back
water reached this city, but it is be-
lieved there is no danger here from
the flood.
Major John M. Sears, who has
charge temporarily of the govern
ment office here, stated last night that
the break is unquestionably the worst
in the history OF the levee system. He
says the entire delta south as far as
Vicksburg will be inundated and fine
farming lands in Washington Bolivar
and Sharkey counties will be under
water for more than two weeks. Re
ports from the interior are meager, but
it is believed the people were fully
prepared for the break and the loss of
life, if any, will be reduced to a mini
mum, though the loss of stock may be
quite heavy. The damage to planta-
lions and interference with planting
cannot be estimated.
The situation grows worse for
Greenville city is in total darkness,

fy in conjunction with Thomas Davis
and John Dillon in 1912. Duffy re-
signed his position as editor of The
Vindicator and removed to Dublin as
editor and proprietor of the new pa
per. The paper was was an immediate
success.
1t was about this time that Duffy,
together with Daniel O'Connell and
several other repealers, was arrested
on the charge of conspiracy and
brought to trial. They were convict
ed, but later discharged by the House
of Lords. During their Imprisonment
the national element fell under the
control of Smith O'Brien and Thomas
Doyle.
During his Imprisonment Daniel
O'Connell seemed to lose faith in the
national movement, movement that
he himself had created, and gradually
he allied himself with the wings and
party and to suppress The Nation.
The author speaks of O'Connell more
! in sorrow than in anger as lost lead
! er, and makes excuses for him on &C
count of his age and because of the
malign influence of his son, John
O'Connell, whom the author handles
in vigorous fashion without gloves.
Daniel O'Connell did not succeed in
sdppressirg The Nation or the young
Ireland party, but the split that oc-
Cured undoubtedly worked havoc
with Irish affairs at that time.
In the insurrection of 1S4S, Charles
Gaven Duffy was the first leader to
be arrested. When the news of the
suspension of the habeas corpus act
reached Dublin the leading confeder-
ates there Immediately determined on
All instruction. MCGEE was dis
patched to Scotland, where the con-
federates thought arms, recruits and
steamer to carry them to Ireland
might be obtained, and the others de-
termined to join Smith O'Brien who
wac then in the south of Ireland.
The history of this abortive insur-
rection need not be told here. Suffice
it to say that Smith O'Brien and some
of his colleagues were tried and SELL
fenced, first to death and then to
transportation. After long trial,
during which Duffy was imprisoned
for several months, he was finally &C
Quilted. 1t was at this time that
Thomas Carlyle, a devoted friend of
Gavan Duffy, wrote to him:
Consider yourself as a brand
snatched from the burning, a provi-
dental man, saved by heaven for do
ing mans work yet. And let this
thought give you rather fear and pious
anxiety than exultation or rash self
confidence"
Duffy had met and was on intimate
terms with all the leading men of his
day. He left ireland after the stol my
GAYS and lived in London and Paris.
He finally went to Australia where he
became one of the leading men of the
colony and was Urine minister of
Victoria. Finally, after a long and
honorable service in Australia, Sir
Charles determined to return home,
for he was wearied of public life and
desired retirement, rest and leisure
for literary work. He resigned from
the speakers chair in the Australian
parliament and took farewell of the
house. He returned to his native
country in 1880.
