RECIPROCITY
Treaties with Cuba and Porto
Rico and San Domingo.
Provisions of the Agreements
Made Public.

We Are to Admit Their Sugar, MoIasses
Coffee and Hides Free and in Exchang,
Long List of Our Products or Manu-
features is to he Admitted Free or at
Considerable Reduction.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The reciproc
ity treaty with Spain, recently negotiated
under the Mckinley act has been made
public in proclamation by the presi
dent. 1t contains two commercial ar.
rangements. One, of temporary char,
acter, goes into effect on the LIST of next
September. The other, which has a
broader scope, will be in force after
July 1, 1899.
In return for the admitting of sugar,
molasses, coffee and hides into the
United States free of duty, Spain agrees
to open the ports of Cuba and Porto
Rico to the natural products of Amer
lean soil and the manufacturers thereof
under moro favorable customs regula-
tions than govern at present.
The free list in the transitory schedule
embraces cured meats, lard, tallow, fish,
certain grains grasses, fruits, cotton
seed, vegetables, gums, woods, wagons
sewing machines, petroleum, mineral,
coal and ice
The detlnltlve or permanent schedule,
which will be in effect year from now,
txempts from duty also marble and other
stone, mineral waters, products of clays,
coins, dairy products, books, machinery,
tools, iron and some manufactures
thereof.
A reduction of duties, considerable in
many cases, IS granted by Spain on
wide variety of our other products and
manufactures; sundry restrictions are to
be removed and in various ways the ex-
tension of commerce is to be encour-
aged.
In the appended correspondence be-
tween the two governments Spain di-
rects attention to the serious injury in
fiicted by our new tariff upon the to-
bacco industry of Cuba and Porto Rico
1t is recognized that reciprocity treaty
cannot at present remedy this, but the
president is asked to lay the question
before congress and to use his influence
to secure modification of the impost.
Secretary Blaine at the conclusion of
negotiations wrote to the Spanish min
lister that the president will give the
matter careful consideration and make
it the subject of a separate note
The value of the convention may be
estimated when it is considered that the
population of Cuba is about 100000
of souls, and that of Porto Rico less
than 100000. The great country of
Spain proper is not reached by the con-
vention.
The treaty is the work of Colonel J.
w. Foster, once the minister of this
country to Spain.

Little Switzerland Celebrates Her Sixth
Centennial.
LONDON, Aug. 3.-The following was
received from Berne Saturday;
The commemoration of the sixth cen
tennial of the establishment of the Swiss
confederation is being enthusiastically
observed by the people of the different
cantons. Dispatches from Geneva report
that general outcoming to do honor to
the occasion has occurred there, and that
the same is very generally true of the en-
tire country.
In this city, the seat of the govern
ment, the most elaborate preparations
had been made to make the day a
memorable one. The street decorations
and ornamentations of the buildings are
particularly profuse and well chosen
Over the government offices the red and
white flag of the confederation is, of
course, conspicuous. Private demon
strators, however, add to the flag of
their country those of France, Russia or
Italy, as they variously incline in SYM
pathy. The streets are filled with bands
of music, marching sharpshooters, turn
er's societies and benevolent associations,
all hurrying to the place of rendezvous
for the great parade.
There is no display of soldiery about
the city, the police being entirely com
petent to handle the good natured null
titude of Switzers and visitors from all
sides of the Alps.
The president received the congratu-
lations of the diplomatic corps at the
Federal palace. In the afternoon a
magnificent parade, participated in by
the regiment of guides, the dragon
guard and number of infantry batcal-
ions and all the civic societies Of Berre,
as well as many visiting bodies, took
place. Tonight patriotic addresses will
be delivered, and the people are prom
ised an imposing pyrotechnic display.
