SPAIN HAS CUBA; WE GET THE TRADE
Rich Aarket Opened for the Product
of Farm and Factory.
SpanIards Give Up Their Commerce
to lR etaIn Their Colony.
To Do Otherwise Meant Serious
Trouble, Perhaps Civil War.

MADRID, April 20-The reciprocity con-
vention between Spain and the United
States. as drafted by Premier Canovas del
Castillo, representing Spain, and Gen. j. w.
Foster, representing the United States, is
based. SO far as the United States is con-
cerned. upon the third, or reciprocity section
of the new American tariff law. In return
for the privilege Of free entry into the Unit
ed States Of sugars, molasses, coffee and
hides, and the reduction of the duty on tea,
America will obtain exemption from the du-
ties on most Of her raw and manufactured
products and reduction Of the tariff on ce-
reals and flour. The negotiations were pro-
tracted upon tho question of the entire aboli-
tlon Of the tariff on cereals, flours and oils,
including petroleum and lard The same
question in regard to tobacco was also raised
but not coming within the scope of the third
section of the American tariff law, was put
aside. Premier Can0vas offered protraeted
resistance to the abolition of the tariff on
flour. Barcelona and oantander traders,
who are largely interested in flour ship
ments, presented energetic protests which
fortified the minister In his indisp0sition ac-
cede to the American proposals. Eventual
ly. representations that American reciprocity
would be impossible without the free ad-
mission of American cereals, induced Pre-
mier Canovas to assent to such reduction
OF the tariff as will place American flour
upon nearly an equal footing with Spanish
HOUR. Santander merchants declare that,
taking into consideration the cost of trans
portati0n Of CASTLE grain of which the bulk
goes to the Antilles, American -four will
crush out the Spanish product in the Span
ish West Indies. Cuba now consumes &c.,
900 barrels of flour yearly, chiefly Spanish,
which enters free of duty, and pays for it
S12 per barrel. The trade In American
flour, burdened with an extra duty of 20 per
cent. since 1889, has been completely wiped
out to their advantage by the Spanish pro-
ducts. Under the new convention, the entry
of American flour practically free of duty
will lower the price to about SO per barrel
and will extinguish the importation of Span.
ish flour while increasing Cuban consump-
tion to million barrels yearly, all of which
will be American products.
1.-The prospect Of a dangerous tension of the
relations of Spain with Cuba and Porto Rico,
resulting possibly in civil war, obliged the
government to sacrifice home industries to
tioD, America will obtain kind of Zollye-
rein with the Spanish Antilles. Her wheat,
beans, flour, lard, petroleum, and manufac-
tured products and machinery will enter
practically free of duty. Among other
Spanish exports, olive oil will be replaced by
American lard, and beans, now exported to
Cuba in large quantities, will cease to be
sent. The advantages resulting to Cuba
will be great, but it is impossible to estimate
the injury to Spanish trade.

Americans SaId.To Bel Building Up a

TORONTO, Ont. April 2O.-The Minister
of Marine aud Fisheries has in contempla-
tion the introduction of a bill into Parlia-
ment, at thecoming session imposing an ex-
port duty upon fish caught in the inland
waters Of Canada, In boats or with tackle
owned by others than British subjects. Un-
der the Mckinley bill, Canadian fish deal
ers have to pay three quarters of a cent per
pound upon fresh fish shipped to the United
States. while American fish companies can
ship fish caught in Canadian waters to the
United States without py.6Ys TOR Canadian
kind.eEf9fs TO compete with the American
fishisheries. Licenses to fish are received by
Canadian fisher men and then these men have
been known is lease their boats, tackle and
appliances to American companies and In
this way assist In creating an American fish.
ing monopoly in Canadian waters. One meth
cd suggested for overcoming the difficulty OF
leasing or mOrtaging Canadian boats toUnited
States companies is to make it misdemean
or for fisherman to practically transfer hi:
license to third party and to confscate his
boats and catch as a penalty.
