The proposition was prepared by the Repub- lican members of the committee and is said to be satisfactory to most of them. The proposed amendment recites the so- called Teller amendment to the Spanish war resolution, and then gives the Presi- dent authority to withdraw the troops from Cuba when in his judgment the pro- :“‘:‘ion! of the Teller amendment are real- zed. The propositions embodled include the following points: That the United States shall have su- pervision of all treaties with foreign countries made by the republic of Cuba. That Cuba shall not undertake to pay the debt incurred by Spain in her war with Cuba prior to or after the interven- tion of the United States. That Cuba shall agree either to lease or sell to the United States such coaling and naval stations as in the opinion of the President of the United States may be necessary to the protection of the inter- of this country. That the United States shall have suf- ficient supervision of the laws ot Cuba re- !axinf to sanitation to protect this coun- try from epidemics llable to originate there. It is understood that a draft of the con- I stitution containing these provisions was submitted to the President and the Secre- tary of War and that they expressed ap- proval of them. The minority members of the committee expressed themselves as willing to come to an_understanding on | these general lines. They inmst, how- ever, upon many verbal amendments. Another meeting will likely be held on Monday. HEPBURN WISHES SON RETAINED IN ARMY Representative's Bitter Attack on Army and Navy Is Resented by Military Men. WASHINGTON, ¥eb. 23.—Severely as Representative W. F. Hepburn of lowa criticized the officers of the army he is making a determined effort to induce the President to retain his son in the military service as their assoclate. Yo.ng Mr. Hepburn is captain of volunteers in the Signal Corps and is stationed in Puerto Principe, Cuba. “Whatever there is of criticism with re- gard to so-called upstarts,” said Hepburn in_the House vesterday e in has its foundation, its inception, in this thing we call hazing at the academies. That is the starting point; that is where the boy first gets his idea of superiorit There is where he first attempts its la‘wful and unjust exercise on other peo- ple. Hepburn said other harsh things about army officers and attacked officers of the | navy, saying he had in his pocket a list of twenty-five naval vessels that had either been cast away, or run upon rocks | or shoals, and that the severest punish- ment imposed upon any of the command- ers of these ships was three years’ sus- pension with short pay. Hepburn's statements are resented by both army and navy officers. In Congres- =ional circles it is recalled that Hepburn was responsible for the action of the Mil- itary Committee in {ncreasing the Signal Corps, and it is charged that this *hold- up™ was for the benefit of his own =on. It is known that Hepburn, immediately after the inclusion of the provision in ti army reorganization law, telegraphed his =on and took £teps for securing his reten- tion in the service after the discharge of volunteers now holding commission: Hepburn's attack on the military and services is regarded as especiaily unfortunate at this time, as he is in charge of the revenue cutter reorganiza- | tion bill, which is i~ be considered by the House immediately after the appropria- tion bills are out. of the way. It is said that there are other members of Congress who have venomously at tacked the army and military academy who are energetically trying to obtaln ap- pointments for relativ OF BIG-TREE GROVE WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Several mem- bers of the California delegation, with Mrs. Lovell White and Mrs. A, D. Sharon, held a conference with Mr. Whiteside owner of the Calaveras big trees. and hi counsel, eéx-Senator Towne of Minnesota, at the Capitol to-day with a view toward | reaching an understanding regarding the price at which Whiteside would sell the property to the Government. The entire matter involved in the big tree bill now proposed for enactment was discussed, but without arranging a definite conclusion. Another conference will be held at tha office of the Secretary of the Interior | Monday next, which it is hoped will pro- Guce results favorable to the speedy con- sideration of the measure, if Speaker Hen- derson’s objections to it can be overcome.
