SPAIN HAS A GRIEVANCE.
Cuba Has Kept Ordnance Ordered
Returned by United States.

Washington, March 2G-Spain has
never been able to recover from cuba
the ordnance left there at the terminal
tion of the Spanish-American war, and
Senior Ojeda called on Secretary Taft
today to learn the position of this gov
eminent in the matter. Under the terms
of peace il was held that Spain was
entitled to all Of the movable ordnance
IN Cuba and Porto Rico, and in the lat
ter case its claim had been recognized
and the ordnance transferred. But in
the case of Cuba there appears to be
some difficulty in securing the recogni-
ton by the Cuban government of the
obligation entered into by the United
States Secretary Taft caused a cable
gram TO be sent to Minister Squiers in
Havana lnstructing him to notify the
Cuban authorities that the ordnance in
question remains the property of Spain,
that II was never possessed by the
United States and should be returned TO
Spain.

Washington, March 21.-AIr. Dawson,
the American minister at SantO DOmin-
go. has cebled the state department TO
the effect that the Dominican govern
ment has had before it for consideration
several plans for the satisfaction OF the
claims of foreigners and to tide over the
hiatus caused by the failure Of the son
ate to act on the Dominican treaty, the
Dominican government has about con-
cluded to install foreign agents in the

piled 10 the maintenance of the gov

cent to be placed on deposit subject to
disbursement among the foreign credit

had an opportunity to again consider
the treaty.
This proposition was the subject of
a conference at the White House today
between the president. Secretary Taft,
Senator Lodge, Senator SpOOner and
Acting Secretary Adee. but it was
stated that no conclusion has Yet been
reached. II is not quite clear from Min
lister Dawson $ dispatch just what part
he played in bringing bout this agree

Judge SomerviIIe's Opinion.

Judge SomervlIIe, who wrote the opiu-
ion of the board, calls attention to the
fact that the first clause in the act of
congress OF Dec. i provides that the
treaty shall go into effect when the pres
idcnt has received satisfactory evidence
that it is the intention of the republic of
Cuba to give full effect TO the convention
and issue a proclamation accordingly
Judge SOmerville then says: The proc
lanai ton itself however. rcCitCs that such
evidence has been received by the prcSi-
dent. Its language is And, whereas,
satisfactory evidence has been received
by the president of the United States that
the republic of Cuba has made prOviS-
ions etc. IL is difficult, therefore, to 500
why the convention did not by it's very
terms become Immediately operative. We
know OF no constitutional aut horltN
which would authorize the executive to
postpone its operation a day after this
time If he could defer its operation for
ten DAYS there would seem no reason why
lac might not do il for ten months.
