CUBAN SENATE'S DELAY.
Rice Bill Seems Doomed-PossibLe
Effect on Recimocitg.

Havana, Aug At appears to be tacitIy under
stood among the Senators that the agreement tc
continue the sessions of Congress until November
shall be practically dead letter. and that no
more sessions shall be held except to pass the
Soldiers Pay bill, and possibly few others. The
Moderates recently have been most active in pre-
venting quorums in the Senate. because of the
Liberal majority. the situation disappointing to
Americans interested in the rice BILL who had re-
lied on President Palma and the Moderate Sena-
tors to put the measure through the Senate. In
stead the Liberal leaders appear to be the best
friends OF the bill while the Senators favorable to
the administration either lukewarm or opposed
TO IT,
The friends OF the bill cite as a final argument
the fact that the United States is called upon to
face deficit Of s5.6o00o0. with 81 10000 loss in
customs receipts on account of Cuban reciprocity,
this being offset only in by the 100000
increase in exports from the United States 10
Cuba during the first year Of reciprocity The
Americans contend that this condition and the
refusal Of Cuba to pass a measure giving the
United States fair share of the benefits of recI-
procity will prove strong factors Washington
against the continuation Of the reciprocity treaty
few sugar producers are apprehensive Of the
possibility that the American market for Cuba's
sugar will be cut off as a result Of Cubas indif-
ference toward the rice measure. The majority OF
the Senators, however, appear 10 regard the mat
roCaI relations between the United States and
Cuba. Cubans do not take readily TO American rice
and they believe it would be impossible for the
United States to supply the Cuban demand for the
paign is another factor which may cause postpone
ment of action on the measure.
