TREATY is ACCEPTED
Reciprocity Convention Finally Raj
fed by the Senate of Cuba.

u
fed by the Senate of Cuba.
The treaty of reciprocity betwee1.
Cuba and the United States, as amended
approved in the Cuban Senate BY a vote
of II to 8. This approval is absolute
and is not hamEered by any conditions,
the questionable time limit amendment
having been dispensed with through the
receipt of a cable message from Secre-
tary Hay in which it was positively de-
clared that President Roosevelt would
call a special session of Congress prior
to Dec. 1.
The purport of this assurance was
transmitted TO the Senate by President
Palma and read at the beginning of the
session, an understanding having been
reached previously with Senators Busta-
mente, Capote and DoIz, composing the
majority of the foreign relations com
mittee, that the Objectionable condition
in the report be eliminated. This was
done by the offering of amendments by
other administration Senators substitnt-
ing the unconditional adoption of the
amendments to the treaty by the Ameri-
can Senate for the qualified acceptance
contained in the original report.
Final action was delayed for a long
time by the discussion of an amendment
offered by Senator's Sanguilly, Tamayo
and Recio requiring the House to pass
upon the treaty. Senator SanquiIly ar
gued thai, while the constitution was not
explicit upon this point. the representa-
tives in Congress of the people ought TO
be consulted as well as the commercial
interests, whose opinions the committee
had sought eagerly. He cited the ac-
tions of the United States as preee-
dent and said the committee evidently
was afraid that the treaty would be de-
feated if submitted 70 the House. Sena-
tor Dolz admitted that this was a good
reason and quoted the constitution TO
show that reference to the House was
not required. The amendment requiring
the House to pass on the treaty was de-
feated by vote Of to 10.
An amendment to or a substitute for
the committees majority report was then
offered by Senators Frias, Monteagudo
and Betancourt. This approved and rat
flied all the amendments Of the Senate
at Washington, and recommended that
the Cuban executive take action conduc-
i've to obtaining effective reciprocity as
soon as possible. To this substitute re-
port was added the following:
This recommendation must not be
taken as an amendment to or a modifica
ton of the treaty.

AssRR's AWARD Is EXPLAINED.
Details of Decision on Claims of Ameri-
can Seaiers Given Ont.

can 6GaxGTo 01YGn OuIs
The Russian embassy In London has
issued communication giving particu-
lars of the award of Prof. Asser in the
arbitration of the claims of American
sealers for the seizure of their vessels
by the Russian government about ten
years ago. Prof. Asser's decision, which
was in favor of the United States, was
delivered last November. The Russian
communication says that the submission
OF all such matters to an arbitrator
proves conclusiyely how great a value
Russia attaches to the settlement of dis
puted points by arbitration. Prof. As
sers decision deals exclusively with the
matter in dispute. Consequently, with
regard to the more general questions con-
nected with the matters adiudicated en-
and in the solution of which Russia al
ways has been in perfect agreement with
the United States. the Russian govern
ment retains its liberty of action neces-
sary for the further settlement of these
questions in conference with the rIghts
and interests of the country.
