PROPOSED NEW TARIFF POLICY PoR THE WEST IN

LONDON, October 3l.-A dispatch to the Standard
from Madrid says: At a meeting OF the cabinet
council yesterday, presided over by King Alfonso,
Senor j. DE Eldnayer, minister OF foreign affairs
submitted for consideration the conditions agreed
upon between United States Minister Foster and
Senor Albacete. the Spanish commissioner, for a
special treaty OF commerce with America This
treaty would be the starting point for a new colo
NAL and tarl1 policy In the Spanish West Indies.
Ii would open the CaStilian colonies 10 American
competition against Spanish imports. but il would
also admit Cuba and Porto Rico into the ZoIlyerein
and the other Spanish-speaking countries around
the gulf OF Mexico and In Central America on the
basis OF reciprocal concessions and discriminating
duties 10 exclude European competition. Canada,
the British West indies ana the Central American
republics Will receive the same advances from
Yankee diplomacy shortly.
The special Hispano- American convention stip-
uateS tnat It's advantages shall apply only TO trade
between the United States ana cuba and Porto
Rico, which is carried on under the American and
Spanish flag respectively. BY its terms America
VIII admit sugars, moiaSSeS aud raw tobacco free
from the West Indies viii be reduced. Spain viii
place American -four ana and cereals imported into
her colonies upon the same footing as those i'm
ported nom spain, ana VIII make a large reduc-
ton In the duties cattle, salt, fresh fish and all
but very few American manufactured goods
Spain VIII also suppress the consular tonnage
duties Which are now levied at American porlS
and promises further, TO reform the custom-house
harOor and sanitary regulations and fines In her
colonies Only a SIrOng government Ike that or
Senior CanOyaS del Castillo with docile majorities
In both houses OF parliament, could venture TO at
tempt such a departure from the prevailing Cas-
titan ideas OF colonial policy and from the od sys-
tenn OF protective tariffs
The convention is likely to meet with much op-
position In the cOrteS.

Conflict OF Authority.

AN o. s. ARMY OFFICER IN CUSTODY OF MARSHAL
Capt Emmett Crawford, third United States cav
airy, the commanding officer at San Carlos AriZ.
on the Apache reservation, was recently SUM-
moned to appear before the United States district
court for Arizona at Phoenix, as witness in a case
pending before that court Capt Crawford re-
fused to obey the summons claiming that the court
had no jurisdiction over him, and that subp9nas
should come to him through the military Chan
nels. october 81 a deputy United States marshal
appeared at Camp San Carlos and arrested Capt
Crawford on a bench warrant for d1sobeying the
summons and for contempt or court, and took him
to Phoenix a prisoner Capt Crawford questioned
the authority OF the deputy marshal to make the
arrest, and demanded that the deputy telegraph to
the War department here for advice. This demand
was refused by the Official, who claimed that the
warrant OF the court OF which he was an officer
was enough for him, and proceeded to Phoenix
with his prisoner. 1t Is said at the War depart
ment that according to the military regulations
Capt. Crawford was in error in not obey1ng the
summons OF the court, and had the advice OF the
War department been asked in the matter he
would undoubtedly have been directed to obey the
summons.
