SPANS CLAIM DISCUSSED.
Consideration to Be Given by the Judge
Advocate General of the ARMY.

Minister Quesada of Cuba saw Secretary
Taft today regarding the claim of the Span
ish government to certain military property
in the Island of Cuba. The Cuban govern
ment resists the demand of Spain and bases
its action on the instructions of President
Mckinley to the military commission which
took charge of the property in the island
Immediately after the close of the Spanish
war. That commission was instructed to
turn over to Spain all movable arms and
armament, but it was specifically stated
that armament of forts and Notifications
and fixed batteries should be considered in
the nature of immovable batteries and be
retained by the United States. The Span
ish government, it is understood, claims
all the guns in the fortfications and also
the hospitals and even the public buildings
which can De moved.
Secretary Taft has directed the Judge adj
vocate general to prepare report upon the
Spanish claim, showing what was done by
the commission and to express an opinion
as to what property, should be turned over
to Spain under the protocol and the instruc-
lions of President, Mckinley.
Minister QUesada makes the point that
President Palma cannot comply with the
request of the Spanish government for the
ordnance PROPERTY Without the consent Of
the Cuban congress. az

MACEDONIAN REFORMS
Conditions ThataHsve Been Attracting
World-W Wide observation-disclosures
oflssraou3 Conflicts.

VIENNA, March 29.-The statement made
by the British foreign secretary. Lord Lans-
downe. in the house of lords yesterday. or
the subject of Macedonia, was read here
with great interest today in official circles
where the opinion was reiterated to the AS
ISOLATED Press that the Meurzsteg (Austro-
Russ1an) reform program has now come 10
an absolute standstiIl and Is imperative.
Lord Lansdownes suggestion of the
necessity for prejectsef further reforms,
including the financing of Macedonia, was
well received in official circles. but little
nope is entertained of successfully carrying
1t out primarily, because the opinion pre-
walls that If this is attempted Germany will
Withdraw from the existing union of the re-
form powers and use her influence, because
of her various interests in Turkey, to cOun-
measures proposed by Great Britain.
Macedonian conditions have lately been
attracting moro attention here because of
Great Britain's attitude and also In view OF
the fact that with the spring comes re-
currence of the rumors mostly emanating
from Turkish sources OF active preparat tons
on the part of Bulgarian bands for crossing
into Turkey.
Situation in Macedonia.
The general situation in Macedonia, while
believed here to be serious enough, Is con-
sidered nevertheless to be more hopeful
and more promising thanit was a year ago.
The Bulgarian diplomatic agent this morn
ing informed the Associated Press that
Bulgaria was doing all possible to stop
the formation of Bulgarian bands and their
operations against Turkey. Among other
things to this end the orders which were
promulgated last. year regarding the MAIN
tenance of a zone twenty miles wide in
Bulgaria along the, Turkish frontier under
strict military rule ms, of civil admins
tration, have again been promulgated lately
with renewed emphasis. The purpose Is to
render more effective the efforts of Bulg iria
to stop the formation and the movements
of bands operating against Turkey.
Regarding the depredations and the on
slaughts of Grecian bands upon BulgarianS,
the latter naturally will protect themselves
and retaliate energetically.
report from Constantinople to the eff
feet that the Turks have found with dead
bodies of former members of Bulgarian
bands Mannlfcher rifles bearing stamp
showing that the rifles belonged to the
Bulgarian army, If true, is considered here
as being important and possibly showing
that the Bulgarians are in secret con-
nivance with the bands.
But in fairness it must be remembered
that these rifles may have been obtained
originally two years ago, when Bulgarian
attitude toward the bands was different
from what it is declared to be today.
In official circles here the Cretan situa-
ton is not considerea dangerous or of much
Importance.
