"Washington, May 12 The sennte
committee on foreign relations did not
conclude Its consideration of the Cu
ban situation today. It will meet to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock, but the
sub-committee, consisting of Senators
Davis, Uoiaker and Morgan, which to
du was given access to the Cuban re
ports now held at the stato depait
inent, piobably will ask for further
time before submitting their Ideas to
the full commlttfo
The sub-committee was unable to go
through all the teports that havo been
received from Consul General Leo nnd
othpr consuls nnd ofllcers In Cuba At
the meeting tomonow It Is possible
that Senator Moigan will consent to
have tho resolution now pending In the
senate to go over without piejudlce
until the commlttt'P enn make its re
port. It Is Intended that all the u
ports of consuls shall be sent to the
senate, but the sennte committee vv III
select certain documents bearing on
the condition of affairs In the Island,
and on these make Its recommenda
tions nnd report This report will gen
eralize the situation without making
public such matters a& state depart
ment ofllclals and the committee think
will be prejudicial to persons on the
Island.
Some question has arisen ns to tho
effect the report of tho committee or
the information nt the state depart
ment nmv have upon the resolution
now pending In the senate. Members
of the committee do not express an
opinion on the subject but enough is
known to justify tho conclusion that
instead of weaktning the resolutions,
its friends w 111 find cause for insisting
that time is a strong reason for pass
ing" it. The object of the foreign rela
tions committee which has deprecated
hasty action, and suggested that the
resolution be refcired to the committees
is that the senate should not act in the
premises until theie Is more Informa
tion nt hand Tho opponents of the
lesolutlon have declared that the news
paper repoits of the conditions In Cuba
are not based upon facts and greatly
caggorated. Those who havo become
ncciuainted with the lepoils In the
state department are of the opinion
that the reports in the press have been
In the main correct. One member of
the committee who had listened to the
pummary of the reports In tho depart
ment said that a very serious condi
tion existed in Cuba und that the In
quiry now being made by the commit
te-o would lesult in bilnging to light
the exact facts.
Tonight the sub-committee met Sec
retary Hhcimnn at the latter's house
and had a long confeience with him.
The suggestion Is advanced that the
president will be Inclined to wait foi a
icport from Mr. Calhoun, who left Sat
uulay for Havana befoie making
known definitely his views Mr. Cal
houn went to Cuba pilmnilly to inves
tigate the causes attending the death
of Di Huiz, but It Is believed the pres
ident will expect him to report gener
ally as to affairs on the Island, so far
as his obscivatlons goes, and that Mi,
Calhoun'b conclusion will have some
weight In detci mining the piesldent's
action. Assistant Sectetary Day, of
the state depaitment, was at he white
house tonight nnd spent some time
with the president.

Washington, May 12 The large
number of amendments to the tailfC
bill Introduced in the semto yesterday
seem to indicate that the moasuie will
undergo quite ns much change fiota
the present form as the house bill did
at the hands of tho finance committee.
This opinion Is expressed freely by a,
number of senators of the was anil
means committee, who nre distressed
by the finance committee's work, aro
prompt to make the prediction. Sev
eral of the principal schedules of thu
bill are expected to be changed by tho
Independent amendment of senators.
Many of them nre cettnln to be tho sub
jects of piolonged debate, and tho le
sult of numerous roll calls, It Is be
lieved, will renove the objectionable
features which even Hepubllcan sena
tors find In the measure.
Senator Aldrleh, the acting ehalrmnn
of the finance committee, leturned to
Washington last evening. Harly this
morning he met members of the sub
committee In formal conference and
the conference was continued until tho
senate met at noon It was decided
that no eflort should be made to open,
the tariff debate on May IS, the dato
originally set Both Senators Aldrlcli
and Piatt made the statement this af
ternoon that thev believed the Demo
crats were entitled to more time to ex
amjno tho bill critically, but no defi
nite date was suggested for calling up
the inensuie.
THC SUGAR SCIIHDULH.
Among tho amendments to the bllt
offered In the senate this afternoon wan
one which Is intended as an Indirect
blow at the sucar schedule. Senator
Pettigrew Introduced a new anti-trust
amendment In place of the ono sub
mitted by him .some time ago. Mr. Pet
tigrew told the Commercial Advertiser
coi respondent that his object in revis
ing his oilglnal amendment was to
make the provision more stilngent and
to direct It more surely against thrs
operations of the sugar trust. Tho
highly unpatlsfactory character of tho
sugar schedule as constructed by tho
finance committee, ho said, had led htm
to make tho changes The measures
piovldcs that all articles on the dutia
ble lift shall be admitted free of duty
on submission of proof tlmt one-half;
or more of the domestic production of:
those articles Is controlled or Is In any
way legulated by a tiust or combina
tion, coiporate or otherwise.
Mr. Galllnger added another to the
large batch of amendments to the tariff
bill whloh he submitted jesteulay. Tho
one which he Intioduced today pio
ldet, that whenever complaint is made
to the scuctary of the tieasuty that
any iiumufactuied goods Imported into)
this countiy are tho product of con
vict Iiihoi, It shall be tho secretary's
duty to foimulate rules to prohibit fur
ther importations of such goods, ex
cept upon sworn statement of the for
eign manufacturer that paid goods aro
not being produced by convicts.
