Havana Merchants state Terse oblec.

Havana.-Following the publication
Friday evening of the text Of the ten
years treaty of commerce and navi-
cation between Cuba and Great Bri-
tain, the ratification of which is now
pending in the senate. the Havana
chamber of commerce gave out for
publication the text OF the report
made by It TO the foreign returns com
mission in request for advice as TO
whether the treaty ought to be ratified
and which declared emphatically
against ratification.
The report OF the chamber OF com
merce says that as Cuba has few
merchant ships and no warships the
reciprocal privileges granted by Great
Britain would be wholly in favor Of
British vessels in Cuban waters. and
would probably have the effect of seri-
ously shortening the revenues of Cuba,
since Cuba had not enough revenue
service ships to watch her coasts
At the same time Cuba wds not in
a position to enlarge her marine ser
vice, while the treaty would be eff
fectite in extending encouragement
TO the other contracting party to en-
large its marine service. Under such
an arrangement the Cuban marine ser
vice probably would entirely disap-

about the inexpediency of retaining

reason of age. mental condition or

corrollary of this project is plan for
the compulsory retirement OF officers
