Although he was careful to say that all OF the

will be a sore disappointment 20 various sections
OF the country where it desired TO have the
preliminary work begun at the earliest practicable

Numerous bills and resolutions providing for the
Improvement OF waterways in the vicinity OF New

TREATY OR LEASE !?
Senate Discusses Question of Rent
ing Foreign Land.
GFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, March 5.-The power of the
PRESIDENT under the constitution to negotiate
win Foreign power a lease Of territory in the
name Of the United States proved the subject of
an interesting debate in the Senate this after
noon The question was raised by Senator
Bacon who maintained that the leases of Guam
tanamo contracted by ministers plenipotentiary
representing the United States and Cuba was
actually treaty. valid under the constitution
only after it had been ratified by the Senate. and
that until such ratification had occurred the
Congress could not properly appropriate money
for the establishment of the proposed naval base
at that point
For few moments Mr.. Bacon's academic
question appeared to create CONSERVATION on
the Republican side of the chamber. and Sen
aior Hale was momentarily utterly unable to
meet the objections Of the Senator from Georgia
As the question was raised late in the afternoon.
just as every one supposed the naval bill was
about TO be placed passage. the objection
looked large and ominous. but within short
time the Republicans had gathered their wits
and explained the situation. II appears from
the reading Of the Guantanamo lease" that 1t
contains extradition provisions. tariff reguia-
tions and other covenants which are usual only
IN lreatleS, ana on this senator Bacon biiseo nus
objection. II was shown however, That the
leasing was made pursuant TO the direct -
structions of Congress- which had itself difter-
entated between such matters
In addition to the lease containing the pro-
visions above referred. however. Senator latt.
OF Connecticut called the attention OF the "a =
ate TO the fact that there was abundant ground
for the proposed appropriation to be found IN a
former agreement entered into between the
United States and Cuba. which merely provided
that a lease should be executed for the Guam
tanamo Station and prescribed the boundaries OF
such station on this showing the Senator
from Georgia withdrew his objection, and the
bill was about 10 pass when Senator Patterson
discovered that he had some amendments which
he fl-p 70 offn and Ii
late. the measure went over until Monday The
opinion prevails among a number Of Republic
cans that "A treaty should be negotiated en-
bodying the provisions Of the final Guantanamo
lease
