Approved BY the Senate By a Vote
OF ID to o-The Question of Time
Limit Dispensed With.

Havana, BY Cable-The treaty of
reciprocity between Cuba and the
United States as amended by the Sen
ate OF the United States. was ap-
proved at O'Clock Saturday eight, in
the Cuban Senate. BY vote Of Il to
y. This approval is absolute anu IS
not hampcreI by any conditions, the
questionable time limit having been
dispensed with through the receipts
Of the cable message from Secretary
Hay, in which it was positively de-
CARED that President Roosevelt would
call a special session Of Congress.

transmitted to the Senate by PTeai-
dent Palma and read at the beginning
CT the session. an understanding l.ay-
ing been reached previously with
Senators Bustamente. Cap0tc and
Dolz. composing the majority OF the
fO' eign relations committee with The
Objectionable condition in the report
b,ing eliminated. This was done by
the Offering of amendments by other
administration Senators substituting
the unconditional adoption Of the
amendments to the treaty by the Sen
ate.
The final action was delayed for a
/ long time by the discussion of an
amendment offered by Senator'S San
gully, Tamayo and ReciO, requiring
the public to pass upon the treaty.
This was voted down. 5 to Is.
An amendment to substitute for the
committees report was then offered
by Senators Frias, Monteagudo and
BctancOurt. This approved and rati-
fed all the amendments Of the Senate
at Washington and recommended
that the Cuban executive take action
conducive to obtaining effective re-
ciprOcity as soon as possible. To this
substitute was added the following:
This recommendation must not be
| taken as an amendment or nlodifi-
cation Of the treaty"
Senator Bustamente announced
their satisfaction at the outcome The
chief contention of the committee
| was the action of the American Con
| gress.
Senator Sanguilly, in long and
| impassiOned speech against the rati
| fication of the treaty, impressively
| pictured the gradual absorption Of
| Cuba by the United State, in which
| he said the present action was one
! step. He argued that it was disgrace
full for Cuba to be a party 20 such a
scheme. Senator Bustamente, in a
brief and able final speech, cited
various incidents Of history to show
tlat neither weak or wicked nations
make commercial treaties, and pre-
dicted with certainty the results il
this case The vote was taken separ
ately in each section of the substi
tute report. The vote on the uncOn
dltlonal ratification of the treaty was
II to 8; on the recommendation tc
the executive it was II to 9.
The present session Of the Senate
then adjourned. The ratification viii
be exchanged by cable.
