MAY NOT BE RATIFIED
CUBANS WANT A CHANGE IN THE
RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Unless Date of Effectiveness He POST
poned 1t May Not BE Approved
Col. Hays Assurances.

HAVANA, March 2s.-The chance for the
carrying through of the reciprocity treaty
appears slender tonight, unless the United
States government comedies the right to the
Cuban Senate to provide that the treaty
shall not be effective unless it is ratified by
the United States Congress during the pres
ent year.
The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions met this afternoon and decided to
report tomorrow in favor of the adoption
of all the amendments added by the United
States Senate to the treaty. but also to
adopt a separate provision as an accom-
paniment to the effect that the ratification
must be completed before Dec. 81.
The chairman of the foreign relations
committee, Senor Bustamento, made a
statement at the conclusion of to-day's
meeting, at which were heard the repre-
sentatives of the commercial, manufacture
ing and agricultural interests, all of whom
favored the ratification of the amended
treaty and urged that it be made effective
as early as possible. During the after
noon, said Senior Bustamento. the commit
BILE from Secretary Hay to the effect that
the treaty could now be amended; that
the amendment covering the reference to
Congress applied only to the United States
Congress, and giving assurances of Pres
ident Roosevet's intention to call special
session of Congress prior to December. 1t
was believed that these assurances, coupled
with the unanimity with which the business
men who were consulted urged the ratifi-
cation of the treaty, would result in fa-
vorable report unhampered by any condi-
ton, but the committeeman appear to be-
lleve that the condition they recommend
will not injure the treaty.

DISCOVERIES FAR SOUTH
ANTARCTIC REGION FOUND TO BE A
VAST CONTINENT.
Hitherto Unknown Mountainous
Country Explored by Capt. Scott to
$500 south Latitude.

LONDON, March 26-Presdent Mark
ham, of the Royal Geographical Society.
commenting upon the achievements of the
British antarctic ship Discovery, says it
has been proved conclusively that the
greater part of the Antarctic region is a
vast continent Captain Scott, the COM
mander OF the Discovery, penetrated one
hundred miles further south than any pre-
vious explorer. and discovered an extern
sive mountainous region hitherto absolute
ly unknown extending to $3.50 south. He
thinks this indicates that the land stretches
to the pole in a series of very lofty noun
tains. which is considered to be by far the
most important geographical result ever
achieved in Antarctic exploration. The
Discovery wintered four hundred miles far
ther south than any vessel had previously
wintered.
BOSTON, March 26.-News dispatches an
nouncing the return of the British Antarc-
tic expedition were to-day shown to E. B.
Baldwin. Arctic explorer. Mr.. Baldwin
noted particularly the statement that the
expedition lost all of its dogs from an in
ternal disease, because $50 of the 400 dogs
which Mr.. Baldwin had with him last year
on the Baldwin and Ziegler expedition died
from the same cause. The animals taken
by the British expedition were purchased
from the same lot in Siberia from which
the Baldwin-Ziegler dogs were obtained,
and from this fact Mr. Baldwin concludes
that they were all infected before the time
OF the purchase. They suffered from dis
ease of the kidneys. intestines and liver,
due. 1t is believed. to parasite that thrives
in dried fish.
Concerning the results of the British
antarctic expedition Mr.. Baldwin said:
The work sof the British Antarctic expedi-
ton is magnificent. The scientific results
are gratifying, indeed. The record of the
tific work all go to indicate the necessity
of building ships especially fitted for navi-
CATION in the Ice, such as the Discovery,
used by the British Antarctic expedition,
or the Gauss, now in the Antarctic ice in
the service of the German explorers or the
Fran, used by DR.. Nansen and Captain
SYerdron"
