An executive DIETRICH AND CUBAN BILL Senator Gives Answer to Direct Questions Ooncerning His Conrse. NEW LIGHT ON SEVERAL QUESTIONS Defends His Course During Late Ses- sion of Congress and Explains At of Al'eged “in- surgents” in Senate. HASTINGS, Neb.,, Aug. 9.—(Special.)—In the Tribune this week Senator Dietrich answers a number of questions put to him by its editor In & way that throws new light on several questions of cufrent mo- ment. ~ The first part| ot the lnterview is devoted to puncturing the fake about the etate committee repudiating the senators, quoting the interview given out by Chair- man Lind: and the editorial In The Bee. Senator Dietrich continues: , “The Associated Press and some of the leading newspapers have been so com- pletely sugar-coated and Thurberized by the Sugar truft that it will take some time before the American people will kiow the facts. “I wish to state further that all other charges that we, the so-called ‘insurgents,’ were not wiil to aid the president helping Cuba by passing s Cuban reciproe- ity bill by either giving Cuba a substan- tial rebate, as we dre now doing for the Philippine islands, or s reduction upon all products from Cuba, are as false and un- fouaded as the charges which are so strongly denied by Mr. Rosewater, Mr. Lindsay and myself. “I wish it understood, however, that the so-called ‘insurgents’ were fully aware that the depressed and distressed conditions In Cuba were grossly exaggerated and-that the conditions there are fully as prosperous for the masses of the people as they are in the United States, and the only reason that we were willing to aid Cuba at the expense of the American producer wae because of our loyalty to the president. Work of the Sugar Trust. “‘Cuban reciprocity legislation was de- feated by the power and avarice of t Sugar trust, they fearing if a bill should | be reported to the semate the differentinl would be repealed. Other senators were upon the tariff schedule. It ‘was to avoid such a fight that the commit- tee on relations with Cuba decided not to report & Cuban reciprocity bill." ‘“Was there opposition in the house of republican leaders to Cuban reciprocity and irnigation bills?"” ““Yes, sir. At the beginning of the ses- sion nearly every republican leader, In fact, 75 per cent of the republicans, wers opposed to both bills and it was with the greatest effort that the administration succeeded In securing their support for the Cuban bill, snd the president utterly falled to get the republican leaders Into line for the irrigation bill. Here is a part of a epeech, taken from the Congressional Record, which was delivered on the floor of the house by General Orosvemor of Ohlo, a member of the ccmmittee on rules, against the irrigation bill, showing how antagonistic and selfish the east is aghinst the development of the west. committes of five members was chosen as | ti follows: W.
