ONE CUBAN PROBLEM

Germany Thinks So Will Demand
Similar Concessions Under the
Favored Nation Clause.

Washington, Dec. 0-Considerable
opposition is developing to the ratifica-
ton Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty
now pending in the senate. 1t is not
taking quite the form that the opposi-
tion to the Cuban legislation took last
spring, but it Is sufficient in substance
to give concern to the friends of the
treaty. From time to time, as oppor-
tunity offers, the president is discuss
ing the matter with senator's, particu-
larly those who are known to have OBJ
Jected to the enactment of legislation
extending tariff concessions to the Gu
ban republic.
Two Glasses OF Senators Opposed.
Several weeks ago it appeared that
the treaty when presented to the sen
ate would be ratified without diff
Guilty; but some senators now are TAX
ing as strong grounds against the
treaty as they took against the legisla-
ton proposed at the last session of
congress. These senators are of two
classes = those who are opposed on
principle to any tariff tinkering." and
those who represent states whose prod
ucts may be affected by the conces-
sions extended to Cuba by the pend
ing treaty.
Germany Will Make . Demand.
Senators OF the first class might be
induced to support the treaty. mas
much as it does not involve. in their
view. an attack ON the system of pro-
lection. were it not for their apprehen-
i. sion that the ratification of the Gu
ban treaty may lead to demand from
other countries that they. too, be ac-
corded special tariff concessions by the
United States. 1t has been intimated
to the president that i'm the event Of
the ratification of the Cuban treaty
a demand may be expected from Ger
many within thirty days for conces-
sions similar to those accorded Cuba.
How the Kaiser Looks on Cube.
The most distinct desire of the Ger

be given similar concessions.

Washington. Dec. 30--Hereafter the
chemically-fed boarders on whom Dr.
Wiley, of the agricultural department,
Is trying the boracic acid tests, will not
be allowed to talk about the progress
Of the experiments. Secretary Wilson
has given orders to admit no news
paper men to the place where the men
are being fed, and for them to refrain
carefully from giving out any informa-
ton.
The reason for this Is fear that the
public will not take the experiments
seriously, owing to the fact that some
writer's are treating them lightly and
in a humorous way. One Of the off,
cials said that II the boarders vio-
late the orders issued yesterday they
will be dismissed from the public serv-
