Hav Warns Them But Without Hope,

nv the Associated Press)
Washington. March 27.-Secretary Hay
has sent warning to Cuba that the
slightest amendment of the Cuban reclp-
rocity treaty by the Cuban Congress,
even that which proposes to make its
ratification conditional on the treaty,s
going into effect during the current
calender year. certainly would defeat the
convention itself since any amendment
must be submitted to the United States
Senate and before that can be done the
date fixed for the final exchange of rati-
fcatiops. March 81 will have been
passed II is fully recalled here that
foreign influences in Havana, which
would be affected iniuriously by the
treaty are working upon Cuban pride to
defeat the ratification by attaching
amendments to the treaty. This was
fully expected. and is regarded as within
the legitimate duties of diplomatic rep
resentatives in such cases. but it is be
lieved that the effort will prove unsuc-
cessful.

be discussed tomorrow and it is ex-
pected that it will be approved by a
small majority. Its provision requiring
the adoption of the treaty by the Uni
ted States Congress. December /, how
ever, is generally believed to he fatal
to the treaty, since the acceptance by the
United States Senate to this provision
is impossible.
President Palma had a two-hours' con-
ference at the palace today with the
entire Foreign Relations Committee OF
the Cuban Senate, at which every en-
deavOr was made to induce the commit
tee to eliminate the condition regarding
the limit of time in which the reciprocity
treaty is to become effective. The mi
nority however. persisted in its opposi
ton OF the three majority Senators,
Seniors Capote and Dolzi appeared will
ing to ratify the treaty without the time
limit condition provided Senior Busta-
mente, the chairman would consent, but
the latter was Obdurate.
President Palma and Senior Zaldo, Sec
rotary of Foreign Affairs, offered to in
form the United States government Off
cally that the treaty would be ratified
on the understanding that it would be
operative by the date desired but Senior
Bustamente insisted that it should be
made a legal condition Of acceptance.
It is barely possible that the trio
Of Senators may make an amended re
port tomorrow
Advccs have been received here from
the Cuban Minister at Washington, Sc
nor Ouesada to the effect that the con-
dition which the majority report of the
Foreign Relations Committee recon-
mends should be attached to the recip-
rocity treaty Chat it's ratification by the

pleted before December -, Will certainly

Row of Flats" at the new Star Theatre
rose in their seats in the theatre TO-
night and presented the performers with
rotten eggs, decayed vegetables and fruit.

into an uproar and the actors were\
driven from the stage.
The affair was the elimination OF
series of attempts to bring the perform
ance of this play to an end and to stop
forever the production of such plays.
The disturbing element was scattered
through the orchestra balcony and gal
leries of the theatre, which is one OF
the largest in New York. Some of the
audience took the part of players by
bowling their disdain at the original dis
turbers Not for years has play been
rotten legged in New York city. Major
Edward T. McCrystal, formerly of the
69th Regiment. declared openly and
forcibly that New York Irishmen have
banded together to stop such perform
ances. Five arrests were made.
