Havana, May 2f. The first day of

The Dominion Objects to Every Prop
osition, and It is Felt That She
Is Acting in bad Faith.
Washington, May 27. The treasury
department has decided to make a for
mal inquiry to establish the responsi
bility, for the grounding of the steam
ship Paris. Notification to that effect
has been sent to the agents of the com
pany, and a reply has been received
offering their co-operation. The
treasury department will not sencL an
agent to the scene but will take the ev
idence of persons whose testimony
may be of value when they return to
the United States.

Although denied In government and
diplomatic circles that there has. been
any break in the Canadian-American
boundary negotiations, the ' admission
Is frankly made that nothing 1 Joeing
done to bring the contending parties
nearer an agreement. There appears
to be 1mv doubt Canada Is the cause of
the embarrassment. She made .objec
tion to every 'proposition and attempt
on. the pat ofthe tTnitedStatet to. get a
statement rom he Dominion of what
she wtfL accept. The feeling here is
that the United States has good cause ;
to believe that Canada is acting in bad
faith. " ' -r
, Altbaufih the"n:A, ;
ukiiLLiuiia are neces
sarily conducted between Washington
and London,v England has not acted in
any instance without first securing the
views of Canada, which are followed in
every instance.
The latest proposition was that the
Alaskan boundary question should be
submitted to arbitration. Canada was
favorable to this, but insisted that. the
arbitrators should also consider :the
claim of the Dominion government to
a port on the Alaskan coast. The
United States refused to consent to
this, although expressing a willingness
to arbitrate the question of the bound
ary. Since then no proposition has
been advanced.
UNITED STATES WILL
URGE ARBITRATION.
At The Hane on All Questions Which
May Gaise War.
Washington, May 27. Officials at
Washington believe the plan of arbi
tration that will be submitted to the
peace conference at The Hague, will be
the plan outlined on the instructions
given the delegates by the state de
partment. It was Jearned today that
the United States, through its repre
sentatives, will urge that rules be
adopted binding all nations to submit
