TREATY RATIFIED
FINAL STAGE IN CUBAN Reel
PROClTY.
Senate Of the Republic Votes to
Concur in the United States Sem
ate Amendments zee Notifications
to Be Exchanged at Once by
Means of Gable.

Havana, March 30.-The treaty of
reciprocity between Cuba and the Uni
ted States, as amended by the United
States senate, has been approved by the
Cuban senate, by a vote of ~ to 4.
This approval is absolute, and is not
hampered by any conditions, the ques-
tionable time limit amendment having
been dispensed with through the receipt
of the cable message from Secretary
Hay, in which it was positively de-
clared that President Roosevelt would
call an extra session of congress prior
to December l. The purpOrt of this
was transmitted to the senate and read
at the beginning of the session, an I'M
derstanding having been reached with
Senators Bustamente, Capote ard DOLE,
composing majority of the foreign re-
iations committee, that the objections
bic condition in the report be eliminat-
ed. This was done by the Offering OF
amendments by other senators substi-
tuting for the adoption of the amend
ments to the treaty Ivy the American
senate for the qualified acceptance con-
tanned in the original report.
Final action was delayed for long
time py the discussion of an amend
merit offered by Senators Sanguilly, Ia
mayo and Reclo, requiring the house t.
pass upon the treaty. Senator Sanguil.
ly argued that while the constitution
was not explicit upon this point, the
representatives in congress ought to be
consulted, as we'll as the commercial
interests whose opinions the commit
tee had sought eagerly. He cited the
action of the United States as a prece
dent, and said the committee was evi
IDENTIFY afraid that the treaty would bt
defeated if submitted to the house.
The amendment requiring the house
to pass upon the treaty was defeated by
vote of to Is.
The vote was then taken on the rati
fication of the treaty as amended by
the United States senate, aDd resulted
as above stated.
United States Minister Squires sale
to representative of the Associated
Press:
"The ratification of the treaty with
out amendment is due almost entirely
to the assurances given by President
Roosevelt that he will call an extrs
session of congress before December l
This action of the president will be ap
preciated and accepted by the Cuba1
government and people as an additions
evidence Of the most sincere frien dshiT
and interest on the part of Americans
in whom they have had faith and con
tidence."

Immigrants Pouring In at New
York HarbOr.
New York. March 3O.-Immigrant
arrivals at Ellis island Sunday broke
all records for Sunday in the history
of the harbor of New York. BY night
fall, when Commissioner Williams
staff had sitted through the great mass

Campania, the Savoie and the Graf
Waldersee, it was found that 1866

speeding to their new homes or else
awaiting further investigation in the
detention departments.
This is the beginning of the rush sea-
son for immigration, and this year. s
record is expected to exceed all others
by many Thousands. During March of
last year $4,000 toreign-born persons
were passed through the bureau. This
year, with two days yet to come, has
brought the number up to $4,000,

Everett City Marshal Issues Notice
TO Gamblers.
Everett, March 3l.-For the first
time in it's history Everett will be a

quent.
The marshall's course comes as a COM
plete surprise to the element affected,
and citizens generally. Gambling
houses have always heretofore run wide
open, and only in the past few weeks
has the tenderloin been subject to fine.
When the fines were first imposed, the
owners of the houses made some trou-
BILE, and threatened to carry the matter
into court. Later, however, all paid
who could, and the rest left town. Now
those remaining are ordered to move
ont, and the red light district is in a
state of panic. Many have already gone
and others are preparing to follow.

TESTING BIG GUNS.
Those at Flagler Fired With Half
Charges.

Charges.
Port Townsend, March 3l.-People
in the vicinity were yesterday given
taste OF what to EXPECT in time of war,
when tests with half charges of powder
and with small projectiles were made
of the battery of 16-inch disappearing
guns behind the redoubts at Fort Flag
Ter. A small wooden pyramid towing
behind the steamer Enterprise, was the
target and of the fifteen shots fired
none went 80 far astray but that YES
sci the size of warship would have
been struck each time.
The bombardment, which attracted
q large crowd of sightseers to the water
front to watch the puff of smoke, the
splash of the proiectile, and later hear
the deep boom of the cannon, is an
nounced to be the opening of series Of
tests to cover each of the numerous bat
teries, first at Flagler and then at Forts
Casey and Worden, in the order named.
This city, dependent almost entirely on
cisterns for water supply, is looking
forward with terror to the trials of the
monster guns at Fort Worden, situated
on Quimper peninsula, just back of the
residence portion.

LOG BURNED LAND
OPERATIONS ON LARGE SCALE
SOON TO BEGIN.
Work Outlined Will Require Four
Years Time and Hundreds of
Men.--Fifteen to Twenty Miles of
Logging Roads to Be Built With
out Delay.

Tacoma, March 31.-The most gigan-
tic logging operations ever carried on
in the Northwest will soon be under
way in the burned-over districts of
Southern Washington. The Weyer-
hauser timer syndicate will do the
work. Manager George S. Long, of the
syndicate, has gone to Portland, where
he will meet M. l.. Rice, Seattle civil
engineer, and together they will go
over some OF the districts, map out log
cling roads and generally determine the
best methods to be employed to get the
dead timber to market at the earliest
possible moment.
The first of the logging operations
will open in the fertile valleys of the
Lewis river, where the syndicate has,
according to Manager Long, 4O0, zoo. 900
feet OF excellent fir timber. Fifteen or
twenty miles of logging railroads will be
constructed in the neighborhood of Van
Couver into this district. From this
main railroad numerous laterals in the
way of skid roads and rail offshoots will
be built. Within the next few days
MI. LUuk duu NTs hlCO Will w ONcT tLO
country to be traversed by this railroad
and definitely locate the right OF way.
The construction of the road will be
pushed with the greatest expedition,
logging camps will be built and the
logging operations will be under way
within the next few months.
Mr.. Long says the syndicate will be
four years cutting and marketing the
burned areas of the Lewis river, work.
ing at the rate of 1O0,OOO,0O0 feet OF
timber year. The company will have
| 700 loggers at work during the four
years, and all the operations will be
carried on along the latest methods EN-.
ployed in big logging operations. Most
of the timber is standing, hut in many
instances the fire 80 burned around the
roots of the gigantic trees that the force
of slight winds is sufficient to topple
them over. When the Lewis region il
logged off it will present one of the
largest continuous areas of logged of
lands to be found in the state.
