ments long anticipated Irish land bill
in the house of commons. 1t proposes

poses Of the bill. Tenants are to pay
Ia per cent interest on loans from

vides that untenanted farms and graz
ing lands shall be sold to neighboring
tenants, and that three commission

DEWEY PRAISES NAVY SERVES
says Every Man is a Man of lnteui.
Qence


Newark, N. 1.-THE EVENING NJe,,,,,
prints an interview with Admiral
Dewey, credited to it's Washington
correspondent in which the admiral is
quoted as saying:
Inc United States has the greatest
navy In the world, for this reason. Ev.
cry man in the United States navy
is a man OF intelligence. He knows
Just what to do and the right time to
do it.
"A Warship is an enormous machine
SHOP and every part of that ponderous
creation must be operated by intell.
gence. Every unit can not be told at
the time of action by officers just what
10 90 and when to do it, The least
man must know for himself. Orders
thdC are given to crew are neces-
Sarlly OF general character, but in
conflict every stroke of work must be
directed by intelligence. This is what
makes the United States navy the
greatest navy in the world.
Inc German navy, for instance. is
an entirely different organization in its
makeup of human material I have
made deep study of that navy NV
belief is that its efficiency in possible
action is greatly overestimated. The
men do not begin to compare in edu-
cation and intelligence with Ameri
cans. Their men have, in my opinion,
been educated so that they look to
the officers and depend upon them for
specific instructions in the least mat.
tiers. They have not the self reliance
of the Americans"

Substitute Report Adopted.

An amendment to, or substitute for
the committees majority report, was
then offered by Senator'S Frias, Mon
teagudo and Betancourt This applied
and referred to all the amendments
and recommended that the Cuban con
gress take action in reference to reci
procity as soon as possible. This was
adopted as follows:
This resolution must not be taken
as an amendment to or modification
of the treaty"
Senators Bustamente, Capote and
Dolz announced their acceptance of
the sub-report, while Senator Zayas
and another committee man argued
against it. The chief contention of
the last named was the uncertainty as
to the action of congress.
Senator Sauguilly in a long and i'm
passioned speech against the ratiflca-
ton of the treaty pictured the gradual
absorption of Cuba by the United
States, in which he said the present
action was one step. He argued that
it was practically disgraceful for Cuba
to be party to such a scheme
The vote was taken separately on
each section of the treaty. The vote
on the unconditional acceptance If
the treaty was IL to 9. Upon the
recommendation of the committee was
IL to 8.
United States Minister Squires
says:
1.-The ratification of the treaty I'M
conditionally is due to the assurance
of President Roosevelt that he will
call special session of congress be
fore December l. This action will be
appreciated and accepted by the Gu
ban government and people as an ad
ditional evidence of the most sincere
friendship and interest on the part of
the Americans, in whom they have
faith and confidence"

CUBA ACCEPTS THE TREATY
RECIPROCITY WITH THE UNITED
STATES is ACCEPTED.
Cuban Senate's Vote Was IL to a.
This Approval Is AbsoIute-Secre-
tary Hay Pledges That President
Roosevelt Would Call Extra Session
of Congress Before December.

Havana, March 31.-The treaty of
reciprocity between Cuba and the
United States, as amended by the
senate of the United States, has been
approved in the Cuban senate by a
vote of II to 4. This approval is alb
solute and is not hampered by any con-
ditions, the questionable time limit
amendments having been dispensed
with through the receipt of a cable
message from Secretary Hay in which
it was positively declared that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would call an extra
session of congress before Decembec
first.
An agreement was previously reach
ed with Senators Bustamente, Capote
and DOLE, composing the majority of
the foreign relations committee that
the Objectionable condition in the re-
port be eliminated. This was done
by the Offering of amendments by 9TH
er senators, substituting the adoption
of the amendments to the treaty by
the American senate for the qualified
dCCSpCduCS COuldlu0u III IUG original
report.
Final action was delayed for long
time by the discussion of an amend.
ment offered by Senators Sanguilly
Tamayo and Recio, requiring the
house to pass upon the treaty Sena.
tor Sanguilly argued that while the
constitution was not explicit upon this
point the representative in congress
ought to be consulted, as well as the
| commercial interests whose opinion
the committee had sought eagerly. He
cited the action of the United States
as precedent, and said the commit
tee evidently was afraid the treaty
would be defeated if submitted to the
house. Senator DOLE admitted that this
was a good reason and quoted the con
stitution to show that reference tt
the house was not required. This
amendment requiring the house tt
pass on the treaty was defeated BY
vote of to 16.

was entirely unexpected both by Mr..
Swift's family and his physicians
He had given every indication of
recovery and all danger was consider

one, including himselr, for his speedy
recovery that his son, Herbert l..

at Harrisburg, Pa, today with a tele-
gram announcing the death of his
father
Mr.. Swift had been suffering for
some time with bladder trouble, and
week ago an operation was deter
mined upon to give him relief. 1t was
not expected that the operation would
prove especially dangerous and moth
ing happened to cause change in this
hopefulness until this morning. His
Improvement was stopped suddenly by
hemorrhage which the doctors were
unable to check and which caused his
death in a short time.
No arrangements for the funeral
