NEW RECIPROCITY
TREATY WITH CUBA
NEARLY READY

Washington, April 7.-Acting under in
structions from the state department. Ed
win Morgan, American minister at Ha-
vana. has been in conference with the
officials OF the Cuban foreign office for
some time past with the purpose OF franz
ing new reciprocity treaty to replace the
existing convention.
lie has now practically completed his
work and a treaty has been drafted that
may be ready for submission 10 the sem
ate before the adjournment OF the present
session. There Is no occasion for undue
haste, however. because the present
treaty does not expire by its own terms
for three years and Il may be that In
order to avoid complications the situa-
tion as 90 tariff and reciprocity questions
IN congress the new treaty will be with
held from the senate until next session.
The reason for the preparation OF the
new treaty Is that the officials here have
become convinced that America Is get
ting by far the worst OF the bargain
under the present arrangement.
While nearly all of the exports from
Cuba come 90 our ports only "A little more
than one-third of the imports into Cuba
are furnished by American farmers and
merchants Europe furnishing practically
The balance
Therefore in framing the new treaty
some changes OF the utmost Importance
have been made In the tariff schedules
and I'm all cases these are calculated to
increase the advantages permitted to
American shippers; existing rates OF duty
have been lowered on goods entering Cuba
and other amendments have been made
that officials say will rebound TO Amer
lean advantage.
The Cuban government did not care to
make these concessions. but II was con-
fronted with the fact that otherwise there
would be no treaty at all at the expira-
tion OF the present convention and with
out the preferential rates OF the recip-
rocity IL would be impossible To- market
Cuban sugar and other staples IN Amer
Tea at profitable rates thus threatening
ruin 10 Cuba.
