TREATY WITH CUBA SAFE.
R4TTFIC4TTON ASSURED.
Prompt fiction By the Senate Con-
fdently Predicted.
ny TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Washington. Jan. 5.-Prompt ratification Of
the Cuban treaty is practically assured. Senator
Lodge voiced this prediction to-day and several
other Sena tors re-echoed his opinion Moreover,
the conviction generally expressed at the
Capitol that by its timely presentation of the
text Of the treaty and it's forcib!e Illustrations
of the great benefits which must accrue there
from to large number of American industries,
The Tribune had cleared up all doubt TO the
advisabity of the arrangement and created
wave of popularity which has virtually dis
armed all organized antagonisTn. The position
taken by Mr. Oxnard in his conference with the
President which was told in yesterdays 5
Tribune. and the sanguine predictions of Secre-
tary Wilson. published in The Tribune of Jan
uary > have also contributed to this end
Senator Cuilom called at the White House
this morning and informed the President of
his confidence that the treaty would be ratified
as soon as reported from the committee which
the Senator believes will be the latter part Of
this or early next week. On Wednesday the
Foreign Relations Committee will take up the
convention and while it is probable that Sen
ator Bacon and possibly Senator Morgan will
offer some opposition it is regarded as almost
certain that a majority OF the committee will
vote for immediate and favorable report.
Senator CulIom will then avail himself of the
first opportunity to secure executive session,
bringing the question before the Senate, ana
while it is realized that some objections will be
offered it is the conviction of the leading men,
bers of the Senate that there will be no delay in
its approval
Many of the Democrats are uncertain as to
how they will vote. They admit that logically
they must favor any measure which makes for
free trade relations with another nation, but
that will prevent some of their number
from voting negatively on measure which is
generally regarded likely to result in adding
TO the laurels of the Roosevelt administration
and which the Senators from Louisiana fear
may detract slightly from the profits of the
cane growers o. their State Senator Bacons
opposition to the treaty IS based on the belief
that it will conflict with the favored nation
clause. Georgia. however, produces no sugar,
and there are already number of Georgians
who have moved to Cuba. One Democratic
Senator remarked to-day that he hoped to see
Cuba peacebaly annexed to the United States
ultimately, and he was inclined to believe that
nothing would more effectualy further that
end than closer trade relations between the two
countries, which would certainly be accom-
panied by extensive colonization and capitaliza-
ton of Cuba by citizens Of the United States.

CASE OF THE CARACAS.
4Lfes' Treatment Of the Steamer Re
garded rs Tnrarvanted
IBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]


Washington Jan. 5-Although the State De-
partment has not received the protest of the
Red D. Line against the treatment accorded
to the steamer Caracas by the blockading
powers at La Guayra, II is broadly intimated
that this government will not be at all averse
to pressing a claim for damages against Great
Britain, Germany and Italy for their nteTfer
with that vessel in a manner apparently
unwarranted by the procla tons of blockade.
These proclamations which were issued on De
cember 20 by the three powers. expressly al
of the east coast of the American continent and
the West Indies. twenty days for sailing vessels
from the ports, and twenty days and
forty days, respectively, for steam and sailing
vessels from all other ports. The Caracas
rived at La Guayra On December 23. full week
within the limit. and was therefore. under the
express provisions Of the proclamation, exempt
from detention or interference. She had right
10 land her cargo and TO remain in port at least
a week She allowed to 90 neither, but
sent to within few hours of her arrival.
It has been thought here that this summary
treatment was due to excessive zeal on the
part Of the blockading officers. and that
proper presentation of the facts, the powers
concerned will promptly disavow the acts of the
naval commanders and make just reparation for
the mistake.
