HAVANA, October 6.-The Captain
General has decided that the tax on
capital must be paid in gold, if the
property is valued in gold, with the
privilege that one-sixth of the tax may
be paid in treasury bills, at their nomi-
nal value. The property. if valned in
paper. must pay tax in paper, with
an allowance of one.sixth Of the
amount in treasury bills, at their
nominal value. The Diario says that
up to the 29th ult., little over $500, 600
had been received in the treasury from
two quarterly payments of the five per
cent. tax on capital; doubtless, addi-
tlonal sums have come in since, but
still the total is insufficient. The tax
payers do not realize the inconvenience
cansed by the tardy payments. We
must frankly say that, up to the present
hour, we have cause for censure, where
we only desire to be- able to praise.
