Flow of Illicit Liquor.

HAVANA, October 30.-lt is re
ported in some government quarters
that negotiations have been started by
the United States with the Cuban
government for the arrangement of II
rum treaty" under which Cuba
would aid in the efforts to cease the
flow of Illicit liquor from Cuban ports
into the United States.
The principal feature of the pro-
posed treaty, it is said, will embody an
arrangement by which Cuban officials
will detain vessels loaded with liquor
when there is suspicion that a false
destination is given in the ships pa
pers.
Cuban liquor interests will oppose
the treaty. the reports say, but the
Cuban state department is expected to
favor it. because, in exchange, 1t is
hoped to obtain concessions on sugar
and tobacco imported into the United
States.
The state department is silent on
the matter.

Growers near Davenport. Iowa. esti
mated their loss at about 20 per cent.
Minnesota's loss was less, since the

Nebraska yesterday took from South
Dakota the doubtful honor of being the

dons unofficial thermometer reading

snowfall with more than Is inches in

stock unless a moderating wind brings
relief.
Cold wea ther history continued TO be
written in Iowa and central and south
ern Illinois. At Shelton, Perry and Ma
son City, Iowa, mercury dropped to

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. October 30-American Of
fetal reports presented TO the French
foreign office by the American En-
basSy on instructions from Washing
ton have given the French government
more information about the actions in
Syria of Gen Sarrail. the French high
commissioner. than Paris has received
from Gen. Sarrail himself. il was
learned today.
The American reports narrated in
considerable detail the scenes which
occurred during the French lombard
ment at Dana sous on October is TO 20
and related amazing and extraordinary
incidents accompanying the lombard
ment.
Gen. Sarrail virtually has ignored
an urgent telesra phic message from
the French government demanding
full report of the Dana sous affair.
He answered merely by sending
short dispatch. saying that he already
had mailed a report on Tuesday last
which should arrive in Paris in day
or two.
The British foreign Office has in
formed the French government of the
reports it has received from the
British consul in Damascu describing
atrocities" of Gen. Sarrail'S regime.
II is understood that the high com
missioner has reported to Paris that
the British consul has been one of
his bitterest opponents in Syria and
that the consul actually wrote some
seditious posters in the native Ian
guage which have been used by in
surgent leaders.
The recall of Gen Sarrail although
not vet determined upon is regarded
as likely within short time.

L. S. WAITS FULL REPORT.
Will Delay Move to Collect Damages
From France.

Estimates placing the property
damage during the French lombard
ment of Damascus at 100000 and
the loss of life at 1000 persons have
reached Washington, but there have
been no official reports of American
or other foreigners among the killed
or injured.
Detailed information Is still awaited
as to the damage done American
property and it is expected formal
claims will be presented in Paris
when complete data is at hand
Considerable speculation has deveI
oped in diplomatic and other quarters
as to what the attitude of the League
of Nations may be in connection with
the Damascus incident and the gen
era1 disturbance in Syria.
France holds the Syrian mandate
from the league, and presumably with
other league members protesting
against the methods employed to quell
the Damascus uprising because of the
danger to their nationals that result
ed. the league may find it expedient
to make some investigation and re
port on its own account.
