ISLE OF PINES TREATY.
Senate May Extend Period Allowed fo1
ratification <

The expiration of the period allowed for
ratification of the Isle Of Pines treaty does
not seriously affect the treaty itself If
there is any real disposition on the part of
the Senate to ratify. The Cuban minister,
Senor Quesada, was at the State Depart
ment today comforting with the officials as
to the status of not only this but of the
general Cuban treaty. The latter Is in no
possible danger, as the period of time al
lowed for ratification will not expire during
the present Congress. But in the case of
the Isle of Pines treaty. which fapsed on
the 7th of the present month, an amend
ment in the nature Of a protocol must be
resorted to If the convention ii to be saved.
The State Department holds that where a
treaty is pending in the Senate, as in this
case, the Senate may by am amendment,
such as projected, change the dates set
for ratification This involves some delay,
for possibly similar action will be required
on the part of the Cuban government. But
this course will be pursued and the protocol
will be signed in the course of day or
two. The State Department holds itself
blameless in this matter. as the treaty has
been in the hands Of the Senate for many
months.

PAYMENT BY JAPAN.
Long-Pending Rye Whisky Claim
Compromised.

compromised.
Messrs Hopkins & Hopkins of this city
are in receipt OF cable advices from Tokyo
confirming the report that the Japanese
government has compromised what is
known as the rye whisky claim. The De-
partment of State is also In receipt of SINH
lar advfces from Minister Griscom to the
effect that the claim for $4,000 gold has
been satisfactorily adjusted by Japan's pay
ment of $4,000.
This claim was originally made in 1900 by
the American Trading Company of New
York, and represented the difference be-
tween 40 per cent and $50 per cent ad VAL
orem duties on $3.50 barrels of rye whisky
imported at Yokohama. Long correspond
ence ensued between tie Department of
State and the American legation at Tokyo,
with the result that last month the Japa-
nese minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Komura, made inquiry as to what sum the
United States would consent to receive if
the claim were withdrawn. Messrs. Hop
kins & Hopkins, counsel for the claimants,
who conducted the negotiations here on be-
half of the American Trading Company, in
formed Secretary Hay that they would ac-
cept $4,000 in complete satisfaction Of the
claim This offer proved satisfactory to
Baron Komura. who forthwith handed a
draft for that amount to Minister Griscom.
This action by the Japanese government in
so gracefully settling a claim which had
been a means of Irritation for long period
is regarded as demonstration of the mark
ed friendliness of Japan for the United
States. 1t has also been the means of in
spring among American merchants and
bankers having interests in Japan a firm
conviction of the desire of the Japanese
government to cultivate more friendly rela-
tions with the commercial element in the
United States.
