EMBASSY BOMBED;

Spanish Envoy's Home Blast
ed in Havana-Editor Is
Raided and Beaten.

HAVANA, March 10 (R.-While po-
lice combed the city today for the per-
petrators of recent series of bomb
ings, a bomb exploded in the Spanish
embassy and. when police reached there
they found the body of man dangling
at the end of rope in the doorway.
He appeared to be suicide, but the
body was not identified and police were
at loss to explain the mans choice
of place to die.
The bomb did little damage and the
bombers escaped.
Earlier in the day a cache of firearms
was reported discovered by police in the
home of former army. officer, who was
placed under arrest.
These developments followed a raid
during the night on the Office of the
humorous weekly Karikato, whose edi-
tor, Julio Gaunaurd, was slightly
wounded. Another wild shot was re-
ported to have struck small boy.

u. S. TO APPROVE
:. BUT NOT SIGN PACT
French Submarine Tonnage
Prevents Incorporation
in London Treaty.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The high submarine tonnage accorded
to France by the new Franco-Italian-
British naval agreement will prevent
that agreement from being incorporated
in the London Naval Treaty of 1880, al
though both treaties will run concur
rently until 1886. It was stated in
authoritative quarters here today that
the United States will not be required
to sign the new agreement. The in
terested powers will be satisfied with an
official expression from the Secretary
of State that the United States approves
and welcomes the new agreement which
puts an end to the Franco-Italian ma
val rivalry.
It was thought originally that the
simplest way of dealing with this new
agreement would be to incorporate it
IN the London treaty. but after due
consideration 1t was recognized that
such step might embarrass the Amer
ican Government.
The London treaty. as ratified by the
Senate, provides for $4,000 tons of sub
marines for the United States and
Great Britain. The Franco-Italian-
British agreement provides for $1,000
tons of submarines for the French navy.
If this. figure were to be inserted in the
London treaty, it is possible this high
tonnage would be questioned by the
Senate and the whole treaty would need
the Senate's consent again. This the
administration desired to avoid If pos
sible-
British Will Sign Pact.
For the same parliamentary reasons,
it is believed, Japan will adopt SINH
lar method as the United States. The
japanese government is reported to be
willing to give an expression OF ap-
proval to the new agreement. 1t Is
believed, however, in well informed
quarters here that the japanese may
avail themselves at their first oppor-
tunity, probably at the next general
disarmament conference to raise the
question of the high French submarine
tonnage in the hope of securing some
advantages for themselves.
OF the signatories of the entire Lon
don treaty, the British are the only
ones who will sign the new agreement.
The reason for this is that they are
directly interested in this new agree

CREW OF a Believed

CHARLEVOIX, Mich, March TO-
Relatives of four men, crew of the fish
ing tug Ethel S., which has been re-

last Thursday, today were concerned as
no word was received of the ships fate
in the storm of Sunday and Monday in
which waves piled 80 and 40 feet high.
Because of heavy drift ice blocking
the channel 1t was impossible for Coast
Guards from the Charlevoix station to
leave the harbor here to search for the
