The de fects in the Cuban treaty weredlsetisatd at the state department today by Secre tary Hay and a number of senators, in cluding Chairman Cullom, of the sen ate committee on foreign relations. There was no disposition to minimize the extent of the complication and, in fact, fresh one were developed dur ing the conference. It was pointed out by one senntor that the provision that "this treaty shall not take effect until the fame shall have been approved by congress," required such action not only on the part of our own congress, but by the Culmo congress as wjJI, and this it would perhaps be difficult to secure, for the apposition is much stronger in the Cuban lower house than in the senate. Some of the senators who called bluntly stated that ihe treaty would surely be defeated if it again cam be fore the United States congrc. The officials of the state department have not yet given up hope of being able to straighten out the tangle, hat it ap pears more probable today than ever that a new treaty will be required. MANY JAPANESE STARVINO. Relief Expedition Goes to Aid of North west Provinces. Tokio, Japan, March 10, via Victoria, B. C, March 24. Some reaction baa manifested itself after the first shock of the news that 150,000 people were starving in the northwest provinces of Japan. Europeans and Americans have led the way in opening subscrip tion lists, and already some 6fi,000 yen ((3,000) have been collected, while foreign investigators have been dis patched to the scene of the reported distress to ascertain the amount of the requirements and, distribute supplies. From their reports, although the deep snow and poor means of commun ication in the remote country have made the distance covered inconceiva ble, it can be gathered that the distret-s is very real. One report says that horses were eaten and roots and rice straw made up in edible form. The last stage of destitution was reached. rhe Japanese people are now them selves gathering data and sending relief funds, while the government proposes starting relief works when the euow has melted.

The department is depending to a con siderable extent npon testimony which can be brought out under the new law to establish its case and to bring to justice those parties who are willfully violating the law.
