ROOSEVELT FOR CUBA President Bends Bpecial Message to Oongress Urging Reciprooity Action. UNITED STATES' DUTY TO LOWER TARIFF Asks Aid for Young Republic Because It is Weak and Needs Help. PROPOSITION IN LINE OF FORMER COURSE Bays No American Industry Will Buffer, but All Will Be Benefived. PLAIN DUTY ONLY MOTIVE IN MESSAGE Chiet Executive Ignores Personal In- terests or Party Feeling and Makes Final Effort to Bring About Reciprocal Relations. WASHINGTON, June 13.—After talking with a number of the leaders in congress jegarding Cuban reciprocity President Roosevelt today determined to send a mes- lage to congress reafirming his attitude on ibe subject. The president has earnestly considered fhe matter for several days and it 1s stated Bat the action of the anti-reciprocity sepublican senators yesterday in declding © hold out agalnst the policy advocated )y the majority of the party did not influ- mce the president in the least In deciding o transmit his message to congress today. The president's action, it may be stated, lrom sources close to him, was influenced )y the broad proposition of the duty of the United States to Cuba ana of fairness to le new republic, It has been pointed out to the president fhat his warmest political support is in e section of the country where there is the greatest opposition to reciprocity, the west wnd northwest, and that he should remain fontent with the stand he had taken with- Jut accentuating his views in & special pessage. Duty Ahead of Personal Interest. It is known, however, that the president 814 not hesitate to arrive at the conclusion that he would not let his political prospects Interfere with what he regarded as his plain duty. It ie further known that he told his friends that it was a source of great regret to him to take a position hos- tile to tho wishes of his warmest support- but that he feit it would not be in keeping with his own nature and his posi- Mon of chief executive to longer remain Mlent on this subject and thereby give an ppportunity for false speculation as to his pttitude. ' The president was further led to conclude {hat the relations of the United States and Cuba must neceesarily grow closer and that the United States should not at the outset, after ite declared purposes toward the laland, assume a position contrary thereto #nd thus arouse the suspicions of the Cuban Bovernment as to our real intentions to- ward it. \ It Is stated that the president’s positive Qeclaration in his message today as to the luty of congress probably will end his ac- ive efforts to bring about reciprocity, Text of the Message. the Senate and House: 1 deem B tmportant before the adjournment of the present session of congress to gall attenticn to the following expressions the message which in the discharge of the duty imposed upon me by the constitu- on I sent to congress on the first Tuesday December las “ilsewhere I have discussed the question reciprocity. In the case of Cuba, how- ver, there are welghty reasons of morality and ' of national interest why the policy S$hould be held to have a peculiar applica- Hon, and 1 most earnestly ask your atten- tion' to the wisdom, indeed, to the vital need, of providing for a substantial re- ductfon In the tarlft duties on Cuban {m- o the United States. Cuba has in titution afirmed what we desired, it shouid stand, In fnternational mat. rs, in closer and more friendly relations with uo than with any other power, and We are bound by every consideration of Ponor and expedfency to pass commerclal easures in the interest of her well being.” This recommendation was merely giving k[ufllcll effect to President McKinley's ords, when, ! To in his messages of December J.2858, and December §, 1809, he wrote: “It is important that our relations with this people (of Cuba) shall be of the most lendly character and our commerclal re tlons cl and reciprocal. * ¢ ¢ We ave accepted a trust, the fulfiliment of which calls for the sternest integrity of urpose and the exerclse of the highest {sdom. The new Cuba yet to rise from the ashes of the past musi needs be bound to us by tles of singular intimacy and Btrength, If its enduring welfare is to be sured. * * * The _greatest blessing hich can come to Cuba is the restoration of her agricultural and industrial pros. perity. Palma Makes an Appeal. Yesterday, June 12, 1 recelved by cable from the American minister in Cuba a most earnest appeal from President Paima for “legislative rellef before it Is too late and (his) country financially ruined.” The granting of reciprocity with Cuba is 8 proposition which stands entirely alone. The reasons for it far outweigh the grant- ing of reciprocity with any other nation and are entirely consistent with preserving In- tact the protective system under which this country has thriven so much. The resent tariff law was designed to pro- ote the adoption of such @ reciprocity treaty and expressly provided for a reduc- tlon not to exceed 2 per cent upon goods coming from a particular country, leaving the tariff rates on the same articles un- ghanged as regarding all other countries, Objection has been made to the granting of the reduction on the ground that the pubstantial benefit would not go to the agri- Fultural producers of sugar, but would inure 10 the American sugar refiners. In my judg- ment provision can and should be made which will guarantee us against this possi- bility without having recourse to a meas- ure of doubtful policy, such as a bounty in the form of a rebate. The question as to why, if any, of the different schedules of the tarift ought most properly to be revised does not enter into this matter In any way or shape. We are concerned with Ketting a friendly riclprocal arrangement with Cuba. This arrangement @pplies 1o all the articles that Cuba grows or produces. It is not in our power to de- termine what these articles shall be, and ®ny discussion of the tariff as it affects Bpecial schedules or countries other than Cuba is wholly aside from the subject mat- fer to which I call your attention. Fears Heretofore Baseless. ; Bome of our citizens oppose the lowering ©f the tariff on Cuban products, just as three years ago they opposed the admission of the Hawallan islands, lest free trade Wwith them might ruin certain of our in- terests here. In the actual event their fears proved baseless regards Hawall &nd their apprehensions as to the damay 10 any Industry of our own because of the proposed measure of reci ty with Cuba Beems to me equally baseles: In my judgment no American industry ‘will be hurt and many American industries will be benenited b roposed action. 1t is o our advant a nation that the gru\\ln; Cuban market should be controlled Ypamerican producers. he events following the war with Spain, the prospective bullding of the ist n canal, render it certain that we must ake in the future a far greater interest than hitherto in what happens throughout the West Indies, Contral America and the adjacent coasts’ and ors.

VINCENT| Consternation on Island Unabated, While Scientists Proceed with Investigations. KINGSTON, 1Island of 8t. Vincent, Wednesday, June 11.—Fleet Surgeon Isaac H. Anderson of the Pritish navy and the sclentific commission appointed by the Royal society to investigate the volcanie disturbances here, arrived at Kingston yes- terday and left today for Chateau Bela, in- tending to ascend the Soufriere volcano when possible. The general feeling of anxiety has not abated. There has been no big eruptions since May 30, but the appearance of the volcano is not reassuring. There are fre- quent emiseions of black steam. The American scientists, Prof. Edmund 0. Hovey, assistant curator of the Amer- lean Museum of Natural History, N 5k, and George C. Curtis of Harvard @ %4, made another ascent of the Souts %, the ecast Monday last. They heard the rumbling of boiling the crater, walted until the fog cleared, and found the southeast crater quiescent. The old ridge that used to run from the saddle to the bottom of the crater remalns. There is no water in this crater. The Americans did not venture to approach the old crater. Prof. Hovey says that, apparently, the crater of the 1812 eruption took no part in the recent outbreak, and so far as he and Mr. Curtis could see, no streams of molten rock, llke those which issue from Mount Vesuvius, have flowed, only superheated steam, old lava, ashes, etc., having been thrown out. Many pereons have returned to Chateau Belair and Georgetown for business, but they are very much troubled by the uncer- tain appearance of the affected quarter. A lake has formed at the base of the moun- tain. Its banks are volcanic matter which fell during the eruptions. Thick clouds of steam arise from this lake at close inter- vals. The fiesures in other parts of Wal- libu are still smoking. The reliet work are progressing. The government is now sheltering and teeding 7,000 persons. The United States collier Leonidas has arrived with lumber for rellef purposes. A large number of natives are now em- ployed and trade is brightening generally. The depressed planters welcome the rise of the prices of arrowroot in the British market. In spite of the showery weather the heat is oppressive. HONOLULU, June 6, Via San Francisco, June 13.—(Correspondence of the Assoc- ated Press)—The volcano Kilauea on Hawall, has broken loose again, according to a report received today by steamer. Flames and smoke are rising above the crater. The outbreak took place June 3 and up to the time of the last report from Hawall, dated yesterday, it was still con- tinuing. The outbreak has been fore- shadowed for many days by an increase over the normal volume of smoke coming from the crater. There also have been slight earthquakes. No eruptions of lava or ashes have taken place. This s the first time Kilauea has made such a demonstration for about ten years, although there have been eruptions from other parts of the mountain of Manua Loa. CALLS GROSS A PLAGIARIST M. Sardou Passes Sentence on the Chi- cagan in His Contoversy with Rostand. Ny, PARIS, June 13.—The Temps today printed an Interview with Victorien Sardou, the veteran dramatist, on the Gross-Rostand dispute regarding the origioality of “Cyrano de Bergerac.” The paper says: M. Sardou laughed heartily at the Chicago judgment and sald: “It is an amusing story. I myself have been robbed and pillaged In America and England. WIith calm, superb cynicism one of my pleces was translated word for word and produced as a new national work. An- other plece was thrice translated in similar style. I once wrote to an American author who naturally is mixed up in the Gross- Rostand affalr. “Mr. D— is & thief and Mr. — did not turn a hair. It s only fair to say, however, that these literary burglaries have ceased of recent years and that the rights of prop- erty are now respected. “The claims of Gross in the present case have not a leg to stand on. The method adopted in the judgment in Chicago of enumerating resemblances without alluding to dissimilarities s a most useless and misleading game. The idea of Rostand finding ‘Cyrano’ already prepared, perhaps in canned form, on the shore of Lake Mich- \gan is very funny." M. Sardou then referred to the old vaude- ville, “Monsleur Roquelieure,” which con- tains striking resemblance to Gross' work, and, paturally, to M. Rostand’s, but says M. Sardou: “As Rostand followed Gross, the latter is a plaglarist.” PREPARES TO ATTACK REBELS Celombian Government Sends Flotilla of Reinforcements to Gemeral + Bertl's Troops. PANAMA, Colombia, June 13.—A schooner, towed by the launch Aurora, yesterday landed 200 government troops at Chorrera, fifteen miles from Panama. A telegraph inspector left overland today for Chorrera, with the object of establish- ing & line into the interior. A flotilla of elght sailing vessels started last night with reinforcements for Gen- eral Bertl's troops at Pescaderias. Great excitement prevails here and will continue until the result of the attack on the rebels at Auguadulce is known. Governor Salazar says he will send next week an important official to reconstruct the civil administration of the recaptured province, and that he expects to hear soon that the revolution is confined to Chiri- qual. Sell Tickets to an Execution. MONTREAL, June 13.—Thoasvald Haneen was banged here today for the murder of Eric Marotte, & 9-year-old boy, last au- tumn in order to obtaln some change, 17 cents, which the boy was jingling in his band. Hansen's neck was broken. Tickets of admission to the execution were openly #0ld at prices ranging from 50 cents to §10. LONDON, June 13.—It was announced here today that 864 Transvaal Boers sur- rendered yesterday, bringing the total of surrenders for all the colonies up to about 12,000. Fatal Fall from Horse. CHEYENNE. Wyo., June 13.—(Special Telegram.)—E. L. Marsh, proprietor of a livery stable at Laramle, was thrown from his horse there tonight and killed, his skull being crushed in two places. K. Fee, a ranchman, fell trom his bhorse and recelved fatal injuries. IRRIGATION BILL ~ PASSES Result Marks the End of an Arduous and Uphill Oampaign. LEADERS OF HOUSE ANTAGONIZE IT Representative Burkett of First Ne- braska District Makes Convines ing the Speech for Measure. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The expected happened today when the house passed the irrigation bill by a comfortable majority. This result, which ey, 04, is 8o gratitying to the advocates of the reclamation of the arid land regions of 2 west, Is the culmination of one of the remarkable contests in the present “* congress. President Roosevelt's ton for legislation looking to of the arid land regions t'an impetus early in the was generally predicted at the time tha. the bill arafted by the friends of irrigation would be one of the first placed upon the statute books. The bill passed the senate without a roll call, and then it was that the leaders of the house decided to consign it to the graveyard of legislative hopes. For a time the prospect looked dark, but a careful campaign was made and the result of it was the passage of the bill today in the face of determined opposition cn the part of potential leaders of the house. Burkett Makes Forceful Speech. One of the features of today's debate was the forceful speech in behalf of the bill by Congressman Burkett of Nebraska. Mr. Burkett addressed himself principally to the contention that the reclamation of the arld regions would be seriously detrimental to the farmers of the east. He asserted that the Increased cost of production in reclaimed regions would obviate the pos- sibility of competition with the older sec- tions of the country. “In supporting this bill,”" saild Mr. Bur- kett, “I do it in behalf of thousands of homeless children in the United States, in behalf of the toiling masses, who go home at evening to a fireside that is not their own. I speak in behalf of the wage-earner that his opportunities may be multiplied as new territory is opened up and new industries established. 1 speak for the manufacturer, ever alert for markets. I speak for the farmer and the farmer's son, who, pinched and crowded in the old home- stead, are asking for an opportunity to help build up another state as they have their own. I speak for the miner, who lives in the mountains in his arduous and peril- ous undertaking to replenish the treasury of the world, that he may be surrounded by civilization and assured of the necessl- tles of life.” Mr. Burkett's argument to the effect that irrigation would not afford increased com- petition for farmers of the east and middle west made a strong impression. He sald on this point: “Staple products in Penn- sylvania and Ohlo that are produced at a profit would be raised at a loss on frri- gated land. If irrigated lands are made profitable something especially adapted to those conditions must be ralsed. Every ear of corn and every spear of oats that will ever be planted on lands thus re- claimed will be consumed in that region. Ave, more than that, they will be con- sumed on the very ground where they are raised. Nothing of the cereals will be shipped out; on the other hand, much will be shipped in. This means more people in the irrigated regions and a larger mar- ket not only for farmers' products, but for everything that is produced by the brain and muscle of man.” Making Wind Cave a Park. Although there is no more prospect for legislation on the subject at this session, Representative Lacey of lowa today Intro- duced a bill setting aside as a national park the famous Wind cave caverns in Custer county, South Dakota. It gives au- thority over the proposed park to the sec- retary of the interior and contalns pro- vislons protecting the rights of settler There is a prospect that the Wind cave caverns may shortly be made a part of the Black Hills forest reserve, and In this manner practically made a national park for the benefit of the people. Representative Martin was In conference with the Interior department officlals to- day in this comnection. Mr. Martin sug- gested that the Wind caves be made a part of the Black Hills reserve, and this \dea was favorably recelved by the depart- ment officials. The matter will be pre- sented to the president with a view to having him lssue & proclamation on the subject. The Treasury department will soon au- thorize advertisements calling for bids on constructing public buildings and for ac- quirement. of sites for the public bulldings recently provided for by congress for cities in Nebraska, .lowa, Wyoming and South Dakota. Dr. H. H. Sumner of Waterloo, Ia., is visiting his son, Dell Sumner, who is chief page of the United States senate. The South Dakota delegation today rec- ommended the reappointment of Postmaster Brosius at Vermilion, Clay County, S. D R. O, Adams of Grand Island, Neb., and Clinton F. Smith of Madison, Neb., are among the western visitors at the capital. Farewell to Bishop Garrigan. Thie afternoon the sisters and puplls of Holy Cross Academy for Girls gave a musical and literary entertainment in the parlors of the academy complimentary to Bishop P. J. Garrigan of the new bishopric of lowa. The treat of the entertalnment was an address of greeting by one of the senlor puplls. At the close the biehop made a few remarks of thanks for the many courtesies received at the hands of Washington friends, not the least of which, he said, was this afternoon’s entertain- ment, which had given him a great deal of pleasure. At the conclusion of his words of thanks and appreclation the bishop held a reception in the parlors to bis many friends in the audience, which filled the rooms. The bishop leaves Wash- ington sooner than expected, being com- pelled to make his departure from this city or Sunday. Postal Affairs. M. H. Taylor has been appointed post- master at Shubert, Richardson county, Neb., vice W. H. Horrow, resigned. The proposition of Frederick W. Cram to erect and lease a bullding for the Sheldon, Ia., postofice on Third avenue for & term of ten years from January 1, 1903, has been accepted by the Postoffice department. The postmi general has allowed the postmaster at Boone, Ia., two additional letter carriers, to take effect July 1, for extension of service to Boonesborro, Ia.

IN Causes DISEASE RANK ISLANDS Cholera Epidemic Alarm Philippines and Small- pox Exists. WASHINGTON, June 134~A rather alarm- ing situation with regard to the epidemic of cholera in the Philippimes is set out in a report received by Surgéon General For- wood from Lieutenant Colonel ¥eizeman, at present in charge of the medical de- partment of the army in the islands. The appearance of the disease in Manila in March is attributed in Some quarters to vegetables coming in from infected Chi- nese ports, and others to the drinking of Pasig river water, foul with the sewerage of the city. Lieutenant Colonel Heizeman eays that the number of different points attacked by the epldemic and the conse- | auent infection of many streams which are universally used for drinking and bathing, and into which all foul material and gar- bage find their way, makes probable a large number of deaths before the rains, which ended the two great epidemics in the '80s. The army, he says, Is much better protected than the native population, or than civilian Americans in the islands, be- cause of the care which is exercised in supplyinz good food and water. In Manila alone a total of 277 cases, with 215 deaths, had occurred up to April 15, the date of the report, with 453 cases and 308 deaths outside of the city. In the provinces the disease attacked twenty-two different places. In the Carmarines, at Neuve Cacares, the disease appeared and this has been the only point where the army has suffered, two cavalrymen and an infantryman having the disease. The col- ored troops, the report says, naturally mix much more with the uatives than the whites, drinking the water in the shacks which they visit and eating native food, and they are thus much more liable to contract cholera. Smallpox also has appeared and has been more prevalent, it is stated, this year than any except the first of American occupa- tion. Manila has been quarantined against all other points, distilled water has been provided, house-to-house inspections made, chloride of lime freely used, a cholera hospital established, the foul farola burned, and twenty-eight army medical officers have been detailed to duty with the Manila Board of Health. Medical officers of the army have been given practical charge of health matters in or near towns where troops are stationed. The report on the health of the army in general shows a slight decrease in the per- centage of sick. Out of a total of thirty- six recent deaths, dysentery has been the cause of eighteen. IF COLORED MUST PAY TAX No Artificially Colored Ingredients Are to Be Used in Oleomargarine. WASHINGTON, June 13.—Commissioner Yerkes of the internal revenue bu- reau has settled the contested question as to whether butter, or any other in- gredients artificially colored, may be used in the manufacture of oleomargarine with- out increasing the tax from ome-quarter of 1 cent to 10 cents a pound, by issuing a regulation which holds in effeck that no artificial coloring matter whatéven can be used In any way in the manufacture of oleo- margarine without increasing the tax as stated. The resolution is as follows: If in the production of oleomargarine the mixtures and compounds set out in the law of 1886 are used and these compounds are all free from artificlal coloration and no artificlal coloration is produced by the additlon of coloring matter as an_ inde- pendent and separate ingredient, a_tax of one-fourth of 1 cent per pound only will be collected, though the finished product may look like butter of some shade of yellow. For example, If butter that has been artificlally colored is used as a_component part of the finished prod- uct oleomargarine (and that finished prod- uet looks like butter of any shade of yel- low) as the oleomargarine {8 not free from artificlal coloration the tax of 10 cents per ound will be assessed and collected. But f the butter Is absolutely free from arti- ficlal coloration or cottonseed ofl or any other mixtures or compounds legally used in the manufacture of the finished product oleomargarine has naturally a shade of yellow in no way procured by artificlal coloration and through the use of one or more of these unartificlally colored legal component parts of oleomargarine the finished product should look like butter or any shade of yellow, this product will be subject to & fax of’only one-fourth of 1 cent per pound, as it Is absolutely free from artificial coloration that has caused it to look like butter of any shade of yellow.

Clancy Comes Up from Lin- coln to Show Fifth Warde to Run Things, but Fails in His Demonstration. How Interest in the primaries in the city of Omaha centered in the Fifth ward, whers Robert J. Clancy, secretary to the gov- ernor, thought it was necessary to meke himself a delegate to the state conven- tion, despite the fact that the republicans of the ward in a caucus had detided not to have his name on the list. Mr. Clancy came up from Lincoln and made v a dele- gation ticket last week, but which was de- feated in caucus by a decisive vote. Not to be subdued by any such thing as that, the Clancy delegation bobbed up at the primary election yesterday with a sample ballot headed “For Governor, James H Van Dusen.” The rallying cry of “Van Dusen for governor,” however, failed to pull the ticket through, it having received only ninety votes to 150 cast for the reg- ular ticket, headed by W. B. Christie In the other city wards the tickets nom- inated at the caucuses or by petition were elected without opposition. \ The state delegates elected are as follows Firt Ward—Anton M.

WASHINGTON, June 13.—During the greater part of today the semate was in executive session, the nomination of Cap- tain Crozier to be chief of ordnance of the army being the particular subject under consideration. The president’s message urging the es- tablishment of reciprocal relations between the United States and Cuba was recelved after the senate had gone into secret ses- slon. The doors were opened, the message was read and then the secret session was resumed. The vote by which the resolutions re- specting the discharge of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor from the War department was re- ferred to the committee on civil service and retrenchment at the Instance of Mr. Platt of Connecticut was reconsidered and the resolution was made subject to the call of Mr. Carmack of Tennessee. A resolution was offered by Mr. Mitchell of Oregon directing the committee on Pa- cific islands and Porto Rico to inquire into the general condition of Hawall, the ad- ministration of affairs there, the quality, condition and value of the public lands in Hawall, the crown lands and the title of the former queen therein, with power to sit during the recess and by subcommittee to visit the islands, if necessary, and to report at the beginning of the next ses- ston. Mr. Hoar proposed an amendment to the resolution providing that the committee should inquire whether the ex-queen has any claim against the United States, legal or equitable, by reason of having parted hitherto with her title. Mr. Mitchell accepted the amendment and the resolution was referred to the com- mittee on Pacific islands and Porto Rico. The senate took no action on the nomi- nation of General Crozier. The senate resumed business in open ses- slon at 2:55 p. m. The message of the president in support of the establishment of reciprocal relations between the United States and Cuba was read and was listened to with profound attention by senators on both sides of the chamber. The attendance of senators was notably large. The chair announced that the message would be re- ferred to the committee on relations with Cuba.
