CUBAN TREATY BROUGHT
BY MINISTER SQUIERS
Republic Anxious to Honor
Her Obligations.
GRANTS C0ALING STATIONS
No Opposition by Island Congress An
ticipated-Fears Regarding Rival
Commercial Ports Allayed.

The Hon. Herbert G. Squiers. United
States minister TO Cuba. reached Wash
ington late yesterday afternoon from
New York. where he arrived the same
morning on the steamer vigi1ancia from
Havana.
Mr. Squiers brought with him the
agreement signed by President Palma.
granting to this country two coaling sta
tions in the island. one to be located ct
Guantanamo and the other at Bahia
Honda. II was not without encountering
some difficulty that Minister Squiers Sc
cured the agreement before the United
States Congress has ratified the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty, and IT is not be-
lieved that the Cuban congress will
make 1t effective until the United States
has made reciprocity a certainty.
The greatest difficulty met with by
Minister SQuiers was the suspicion that
this country would ultimately establish
rival commercial ports at the places
granted for naval coaling stations. 1t
was not until President Palma received
satisfactory assurances from the United
States Government. which are inror-
porated in the agreement. that President
Palma agreed to sign it.
Anticipates No Opposition.
Minister Squiers does not think there
will be any opposition in the Cuban
congress TO the naval station agree
ment when the American Congress has
acted upon the reciprocity treaty. and
said this afternoon:
Cuba is anxious and willing TO carry
out her obligations to the United States
under the PIatt amendment, regardless
of any action on the part OF the United
States with respect TO the question of
reciprocity or anything else. and there
will be little or no delay by the Cuban
congress in rendering effective the
agreement signed by President Palma.
OF course. they are all very anxious
down in Cuba TO have the United States
Congress determine the question of Gu
ban reciprocity"
When Minister Squiers left Havana
the indications strongly pointed to a
ratification by the Cuban congress Of
the proposed reciprocity treaty some
time next week so that Il should re-
ceive the approval OF the national leg
islatures OF both countries about the
same time.
Speaking of the sites selected for coal
ing stations. Mr.. Squiers said:
Guantanamo Is situated on the south
east coast Of Cuba. on magnificent
bay. and there is no better site for a
naval station in the entire West Indies.
Bahia Honda lies forty to forty-hve
miles west Of Havana

A VALUED CONTRIBUTION.
Collection Of Jubilee Presents of Late,
Queen Victoria to BE Exhibited
at st. LOuls Exposition.

London, Feb Fixing Edward will
send the Late Queen Victoria's priceless,
collection of jubilee presents for ex-
hibition at the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position as his personal contribution,
towards the success Of the exposition.
The king personally announced this
decision Wednesday to D. r. Francis,
president of the St. Louis exposition,
who, accompanied by Ambassador
Choate, was received in audience by
his majesty at Buckingham palace.
Wednesday morning. King Edwards
told Mr. Francis that he had been,
prompted to take this step by his keen
appreciation of the affection and re-
spect in which the American people
always held his mother, and as a token,
Of his intimate sympathy with Ameri-
caninterests. His majesty said that he
thought nothing probably would be
more appreciated by the American
and Canadian visitors to the St. Louis
exposition than this national memento
ofQueen Victoria's reign. Mr.. Francis,
on behalf Of the exposition, expressed
his thanks to King Edward for the
promised exhibit.

A Water Scheme.

In view of the city of Fargo having
reached the bonding limit prohibiting
the plan to secure, water from the
Minnesota lakes, a suggestion has
been made which may sechSe Fargo
a somewhat better supply. On the
record the Red river at this point is
still classed as q navigable stream,
but as a matter of fact, nothing larger
than a fatboat can navigate" It is
proposed to have the North Dakota
representatives secure a condemna-
ton of the stream as q navigable
stream, then have Fargo and Moor
head unite and build a dam above the
sewer outlet, which will form a set
thing basin for the waterworks of both
cities and insure clean water instead
of the present muddy supply. Of
course n water would be no purer,
but the supply would be better.
In addition to the improved supply
there is an old river bed surrounding
the present park. If the water was
raised by a dam, a stream could be
turned into this old run an it would
return to the river a half mile below.
This would make a pleasant boating
place and a delightful addition to the
park in the summer time, as well as
a splendid skating rink and speedway
in the winter.
