HAVANA, Oct. 1S.-No diplomatic
question that hts yet arisen in Cuba
has created so much general excite
ment as the proposed treaty between
England and Cuba. 1t is we'll known
that the United States government is
working to defeat the treaty.
While there is no hatred of the Unit
ed States, there seems to be some tnx-
iety to show independence and to de-
monstrate to the outside world that
Cuba is not an adjunct of its big
northern neighbor.
Minister Squires said last night:
English and German influences here
have been strong and nave been ad-
verse to the United States. Many Gu
bans believe Cuba should now show
the United states that she is not COLI
ony, but a real republic. All Euro
peans seem active in trying to stir up
this sentiment"

cation with the MutuaPs counsel,
Beck, over the questioning of the wit
ness about the Grosvenor apartment
house, where McCurdy lives, which
is owned by the Mutual. crowd of
spectators applauded Hughes sharp
thrusts.
Beck attacked Hughes methods. He
said that it resulted in placing the
witness in an unfair position. Hughes
at length defended himself, saying:
"The record shows that 1 nave ex-
tended courtesies, refrained from re-
torts and avoided my own personal
inclinations when the situation justi-
fled a far different course toward the
witness. The witness who gets him.
self into a false position has only
himself to blame. Everyone knows
that he will get the treatment he
deserves and evasion will always be
held up to the contempt it has al
ways received"
