parcial. that Spain will insist in the
negotiations upon liberal conditions re-
garding importation into the United
States OF Cuban tobacco, either manu-
factured or in leaf. But IL Is supposed
that this tobacco question will be the
object of special negotiations. which
amounts To saying that 1t may be en-
bodied in an amendment 70 the general
treaty. the conclusion of which would
not be delayed on that account
Again IL 10 said In regard to the -four
trade that the duties imposed upon
American -four imported into Cuba
would amount only to sum equivalent
20 the cost OF transporting -four from
Spain 10 Cuba. 1t viii be remembered
that the strongest opposition made in
Spain TO treaty of commerce with the
United states proceeds from the agri-
cultural provinces cf the peninsula
The opposition has moderated, IL tho
information relative to the fixing of
new duties on American -four In Cuba
