Youngsters at Dallas Going at Fast
Clip I'm Practice Games.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Dallas. Tex, March 13.-The Donovan
team performed to-day for the second time
on the town lott where the amateur teams
play.
The morning practice was not INDUCED in
owing to a slight chill being in the air. In
the afternoon the team, followed by several
hundred Dallas fans, went out to the prac-
tice lot.
The hard days work done the day pre-
vious had the effect of Stiffening up the
whips of some of the more strenuous men,
bers of the team.
Barclay donned his uniform to-day for
the first time. He worked fast. Manager
Donovan was much pleased over the way
his colts and veterans started out and could
not resist the temptation to don the SPAN
giles. Pat stirred the players up to white
heat. and some nice hitting and fielding was
the result
The Tennessee recruit from the Southern
League, War Sanders, reported for duty to-
day.
Eddie Murphy. Joyce O'Neil and Curry
of the army of pitchers are all in good con-
dition
Murphy was formerly called lazy. He is
the hustling member of the team to date.
Brains work continues to be feature of
the practice. He Is very fast and hits the
ball hard.
Young Smith. the Kansas City fielder, is
going along slow, but sure. Otto Williams
so far leads for short field.
The first game of the season will be
played Sunday, when Manager Patsy will
send his band of kids up against the vete-
rams. The Dallas fans have requested Dom
Ovan to exhibit the famous O'Neil battery
in the initial contest. The chances are
that il the day is nice and warm the broth
erS will work for the veterans.

CUBAN SENATE
RATIEIES TREATY

Havana, March 29.-The treaty Of
reciprocity between Cuba and the
United States, as amended by the Sem
ate Of the United States, was approved
at 8 o'clock last night in the Cuban
Senate by vote of IL to 9. This ap-
prevail is absolute and is not hampered
by any conditions. the questionable
time limit amendment having been dis
pensed with through the receipt OF the
cable message from Secretary Hay. in
which it was positively declared that
President Roosevelt would call a spe-
cial session Of Congress prior to De-
cember LIST. The purport Of this was
transmitted to the Senate and read at
the beginning Of the session, an I'M
Outstanding having been reached pre-
y:ously with Senators Bustamente. Ca
pote 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 other
senators substituting the adoption Of
the amendments to the treaty by the
American Senate for the qualified ac-
ceptance contained in the original re-
port.
United States Minister Squiers said
tonight to the representative OF the
Associated Press: THE ratification OF
the treaty without amendment is. due
almost entirely to the assurances given
by President Roosevelt that he will call
an extra session of Congress before De-
cember LIST This action Of the Presf-
dent will be appreciated and accepted
by the Cuban government and people
as an additional evidence OF the most
sincere friendship and interest on the
part Of the Americans. in whom they

THE GOVERNORS COMMISSION
PREDICTS END OF THE STRIKE

Denver, March 30.-The advisory
board. or commission. appointed by the
governor to endeavor to secure settle
ment of the mill strike controversy be-
fore leaving Colorado Springs for Den
yer last night issued statement in
part as follows:
Many private conferences have been
held the latter part OF the week, at
all of which the following parties have
been present with the advisory board:
Charles B. MacNeill, vice president
and general manager Of the United
States Reduction and Refining Com
pany.
1 Charles H. Meyer, president Of the
Western Federation Of Miners.
Nelson Franklin. chairman business
mems committee Of Victor.
81 have NO hesitancy in saying that
all of these parties have worked I'M
selHshly for the purpose Of bringing
/ about an adjustment.
Both Mr. MacNeill and Mr.. Meyer
have fully stated at these meetings the
positions of the bodies represented. re-
spectively, by them, and both have
seemed DESTROYS of making concessions
for the purpose of harmony; and where
concessions nave not peeH ihaue eaSn
has fully stated the reason why such
concessions were refused. We believe
that these meetings have resulted In
bringing about better understanding
between the parties, although, unfor-
tunately, no adjustment has as yet been
arrived at. At times 1t has seemed to
the board that an agreement would
certainly be made within few hours,
while at other times the prospect OF
reaching such an agreement has seemed
to be very remote.
1.-The statement that Mr.. Meyer
agreed at any time to certain terms
and afterwards refused to sign writ
ten agreement embodying such terms
is incorrect. Both MIR. Meyer and Mr..
MacNeill have repeatedly stated that
written agreement was unnecessary
and that in case of an adjustment each

was the duty of the press to assist in
such worthy endeavor. Neither
press nor individuals should inject
anything that would interfere with
justice and the proper hearing of the
suit. He hoped the press and attor-
neys and all concerned would assist in
its responsibilities and should there Ike
any undue interference, the court
would take the severest steps to pro-
