ING MATTER.
Washington, Jan. 24--The state de.
partment is considering the advisabllity
OF extending the period of time allowed
for the ratification Of the Cuban reci-
rroclty treaty, now pending before the
United States senate. The time al
lowed for ratification expires one week
from today. While the senators seem
confident Of their ability to ratlfy with
IN that time, the president and secre-
tary feel that they are not warranted
in risklng the loss Of this important
convention and therefore they contem-
plate the drafting Of special article
ia the shape of protocol which will
provide for a safe extension Of the
period allowed for ratification.
The attention Of officials who have
had to do with this treaty was directed
today to the statement made in Lon
don to Lord Lansdowne by the dele
gates OF the chambers OF commerce OF
the United Kingdom to the effect that
the Cuban treaty contained a secret
clause stipulatlng that no further meas
ures of reciprocity shall be undertaken
by the United States toward the British
West Indies. II was explained that
there was no secret clause In the treaty
