SIR have the n0nor TO transmit herewith
decree OF the Captain General of Cuba directing
that the import duties on all articles of luxury
shall be collected one-half in gold coin and
after the LIST of October next. IL appears that in
the customs administration OF the Eastern
Department the full duties on imports are
beng collected In gold, amounting practi-
caly to an increase OF thirty per cent and up
wards over the rates now being collected at
Havana and other ports OF the Western Depart
ment. No official notification OF this measure. that

hoped that the articles OF luxury which are to pay
this additional duty viii be designated before the
decree Is enforced, thus avoiding the reclamatlons
that are likely to grow out OF 1t If left underlined or
to the discretion OF the customs officials.
HENRY @. HALL,
Vice Consul General.
WHAT IS THOUGHT AT THE TREASURY.
The Treasury 0ficials are at loss to know how
the discrimination proposed can be carried out
without making very much trouble to those ship
ping goods to Cuba. It is construed as desperate
effort to sustain the army operating against the in
surgents while at the time 1t indicates the de-
probation OF paper money. The latest statistics of
the business OF the Spanish Bank of Havana, with
a capital OF S. 900 900, shows that the emission OF
bank notes has been at the OF $4,000, 900
year since the 3Oth of June 1859, when the amount
outstanding was $ls,663,5lO ON the 3Oth OF June
1t was 500, 026,3 1856.
THE PREMIUM ON GOLD
has increased in that time from 10l 718 the quota

30, 1879 Exchange on London sixty days. has also
increased in premium from twelve per cent, June

connection with the decree OF the Captain General

not much better than 1t Is In New York
