Cuba Ratifies Reciprocal Treaty With United States
In Havana the senate approved the reciprocity treaty by a 16 to 5 vote, with three absentees believed to favor passage. Senor Bustemente’s forceful appeal swayed many, arguing the 20 percent sugar duty cut would boost Cuba’s trade by giving Cuban sugar an edge over European competition. Senor Zayas voted for amendment rather than repeal. Senor Sanguilly opposed, yet acknowledged the treaty’s potential benefits.
