PLANS FOR THE BALTIMORE.
WILL Go to the Orient on the Return
From the West Indies.

Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau
of navigation, said today that IL Was not
true that the crusier Baltimore bad visited
Guantanamo for the purpose of asserting
the authority OF the United States over the
land at that place ceded to the United
States for navel station. The crusier
Buffalo. however had been to Guantanamo
with Generals Chaffee and Gillespie of the
arny and Capt. Dayton of the navy for
the purpose of considering the best method
of defense of the station and also for the
location of barracks and other necessary
buildings, for use in the future.
1.-The present intention. said Admlrai
Taylor sis for the formal transfer OF the
soyereignty of the territory from Cuba and

CUBAN BILL IN THE SENATE.
Apparently No Reason for Not Having
an Early Vote.

Senator Platt of Connecticut. who, under
meath an austere demeanor, hides a whole
lot of dry humor, was asked today when, in
his opinion, the Senate would pass the Gu
ban reciprocity bill. He pondered a few mo-
ments and then as solemnly as could be he
inquired
How much is a horse WORTH"
That Yankee fashion of answering ques-
ton with a question is appropriate in the
present case. 1t all depends; there are so
many ifs and "ands' in the situation that
no one can tell how long or how short a
time might be required for the considera-
ton of the bill In the Senate.
The general opinion among republican
senators is that there will not be much
opposition to the bill in the Senate. and
that after opportunity to make remarks
is given to the few senators who desire to
speak there will be no dilatory tactics.
The democratic leader in the House has
declared the bill to be In line with the real
old fashioned democratic policy, and unless
the democrats Of the Senate take the op-
posite view 1t is difficult to see why there
should be opposition to the measure
Full opportunity for amendment will be
offered in the Senate, and 1t is thought
that with that and With the making of a
few speeches the opposition VIII be content
to permit an early vote.
