ALL PANAMA FOR TREATY.
Not To BE Signed in HaSte-PrOO-
inceS Ripe for ReCOt.

Panama. Nov 27.-The slight opposition to the
ratification Of the canal treaty between the Re
public OF Panama and the United States which
prevailed on the isthmus day or two ago now
appears TO have been overcome. if not altogether
oissipated- This opposition existed only among
few government officials. who now have been
convinced 10y the arguments Of their associates.
The plan outlined in these dispatches by which
the treaty was to be signed and dispatched to
Washington on the day az its arrival here has
been abandoned. because Il is feared that such
rapidly Of action might give the impression that
the treaty had been hastily and inadequately
considered. and thus lay the members Of the
Junta open TO criticism. It is absolutely certain,
however. that the treaty viii he ratified without
the slightest opposition.
In government circles here Il is now said that
the junta, as soon as the treaty has been rati-
fed. VIII address note TO Secretary Hay ask

AWAITING RECIPROCITY.
Cuban Treaty Likely to Go Into
Effect December &c.
[FRou THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, Nov. 27.-The extent to which the
country at large considers that the special ses-
sion of Congress has accomplished Cuban reel
procity is being daily demonstrated by the
numerous inquiries received by members of Con-
gress from American manufacturers who ask
the precise date en- which the terms of the treaty
viii go into effect. The number of such inquiries
indicates that large number of manufacturers
are already doing business with the reduced
Cuban tariff rates in view. and are taking orders
to be shipped as the concession from
present Cuban duties becomes operative.
Inquiries for this information come from all
over the United States and from manufacturers
of all classes of goods. so that the Senators and
Representatives receiving them believe that the
operations of the treaty already bid fair to
produce large increase in the expectation to
Cuba of American manufactures.
senator Cullom, chairman of the Foreign Ike
lations Committee. which has the bill in charge.
Is regarded as the proper source of Information
on this subject, and he has advised all inqulrers
that he believes the terms of the treaty will go
into operation on December %. The bill will
pass the Senate on December 16. and presum-
ably will be signed by the President the same
day. The treaty provides that its terms shall
go into effect ten days after the exchange OF
Publications. and. as the Cuban Minister is in
Washington, no time need be lost in effecting
the exchange.
The fact that the convention will become oper-
alive at time when the Cubans are marketing
their sugar crop, and when, therefore, money is
plentiful, augurs well for those who avail them
selves of the reciprocity arrangement to build up
their Cuban trade 1t is worthy of note that the
Treasury officials attribute a considerable por-
ton of the falling off in customs receipts in the
last two months to the fact that the Cubans
have refraned from shipping sugar to this coun-
try anticipating the 20 per cent concession from
the present duty which the treaty will give them
While the receipts under the provisions Of the
convention will not be large they would
have been had no concession been made 1t is the
expectation of the Treasury experts that as soon
as Cuban sugar resumes its normal flow into the
United States even at so per cent of the Dingley
rates. customs receipts will resume their usual
