HAVANA, March 2S.-After a debate
that continued four hours. the senate
at $40 o'clock tonight approved the
amendments made by the United States
Senate to the reciprocity treaty by a
vote Of Y TO 3, without any stipulation
as TO the time that the treaty should
be adopted by the American House Of
Representatives
The motion was on an amendment TO
the report of the committee on foreign
relations which had stipulated that as
condition Of its acceptance the treaty
should be in force by December 1. The
committee accepted this amendment, the
second portion of which is to the effect
that the senate shall recommend 70 the
executive that STEPS be taken toward
obtaining the final adoption of the treaty

Vote Down Amendment.

The session was opened with the
presentation of an amendment provid-
ing that the treaty should go to the
Cuban house. This was presented by
three anti-treaty senators, The COM
mittee on foreign relations refused to
accept the amendment. After some de-
bate IT was rejected by a vote OF 10 TO 5.
The amendment accepting the treaty
without conditions Of any kind was then
presented. Senor Sanguily opposed it
in long speech. in which he dweIt on
the danger af absorption by Americans
who would not become Cuban citizens
He referred to the difference between
the conditions under which foreigners
come 10 Cuba now and thOse under
which they came before the days or fast
steamers, which allowed them. especial
ly the Americans. TO keep in touch with
their own countries. He said reciprocity
originated with trusts. and was danger

cans owned nearly ali the Santiago and
Pinar del Rio banks. The Americans,
he declared. having once seen the beau
ties OF Cuba, would not let go.

Trusted President.

The word of the American President
could not be doubted. Senor SanguiIy
had argued that under the treaty Cuba
would only have one buyer. a trust
that would dictate the price. but Senior
SangUily forgot that competition among
producers and the trust would split
the profits, due 10 the reduction Of
duties with the Cuban producers
and make profit for them as against
other producers.
Mr.. Squiers. tie American minister
said tonight that the ratification or the
treaty without amendment was due al
most entirely To The assurance given
by President Roosevelt that he would
call an extra session of Congress he

tion will be appreciated. and accept ad

as additional evidence OF the sincere
friendship and interest on the part o.

HotO Farmers Life U'as
~aUed by the Pluck
Of a Stallion.

Hero horses are not uncommon in the
annals Of history. but the story of the
bravery and intelligence of stallion
owned by Tennessee farmer is so I'M
usual as to deserve recording.
Bob Hunt, a we'll known stockman Of
Jackson. Tenn, owns beautiful gray
stallion and fine Jersey bull. The lat
ter is vicious animal and on more
than one occasion has shown a pugna-
cious disposition. Usually a pitchfork
serves to subdue him. but sometimes
his pugnacity gets the better of his
discretion.
One day recently Mr.. Hunt, in COM
pany with a small boy, was crossing
the pasture in which the bull roams,
leading the stallion. Suddenly the bull
appeared upon the scene and showed
evidence of wanting to fight. Mr.. Hunt
gave the halter rein to the boy and
thought he would drive the irate ami
NAL away.
The bull started to flee, but changed
his mind after running a short dis
lance, and. discovering his pursuer did
not have the dreaded pitchfork, he low
cred his head and charged upon his
master. Mr.. Hunt attempted to run

and fell. The bull butted him as he
passed, and it looked for Il moment as
if Mr.. Hunt would be gored to death.
The boy dropped the rein of the stall
lion and started off for help. 1t was
then that the noble animal proved
himself faithful to his master and was
a real hero. Rearing up on his hind
feet, with snort of defiance. he bore
down upon the bull, which in the mean
time had returned a second time upon
Mr.. Hunt and was about to trample
him to death. The horse bit large
piece of "beef and hair out of the bull S
back at the opportune moment and,
wheeling, planted both rear heels in the
ribs of his opponent. almost sending
him to the earth and causing him to
roar with pain.
The bull left his PROSTATE victim and
fed in terror, with the horse pursuing
him and taking chunks of hide and
flesh every few steps until he had been
chased to the bottom. The horse then
returned to his master.

SO high that in accepting her
mortgage it made her victims

swindled they kept quiet about
the affair. At her preliminary

Risks Life id Rescue.

Marinette, Wis, March 2
Oily Betson, Ruby Peterson and
George Bryd, three of the fish
ermen who were marooned on
the ice foe, are at chambers Is
land today. To one of their
rescuers they related their ex-
periences as follows:
Sat s o'clock last Sunday
morning we discovere | that the
ice had broken loose and we
started towards Cedar River
with our sail sleighs, hoping that
we nigh be able to get ashore
there. We arrived at the edge
of the foe and found that a
stretch of several miles of open
water interviewed and that it was
impossible to make a landing.
On board the ice foe we won
dered all over the bay. Monday
we were off Escanaba and were
able to discern other little towns
along the shore. On Thursday
we came within four or five
miles from Washington island at
Deaths Door and found that the
bay between us and land was
filled with cakes Of floating ice.
After a consultation Oily Betson
and Shorty Williams determined
to make an attempt to get
ashore. They took a small sled
and started, making progress in
every way conceivable. jumping
from one cake of ice to another
or using one cake as a raft and
padding to the next one in the
neighborhood, until at last, COM
pletely exhausted, they reached
land. The work required about
four hours. Once on shore they
sought out the fishermen living
on the island and after telling
their story secured boats to res
cue their companions.
