DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
That May Be the Only Way to Remedy
Cuban Treaty Muddle.
Washington, March 21. 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

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.
