A RICH TRADE IN PERIL.
The New Tariff Works Against the
West Indies.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-Senor MI
ragua, the Spanish minister, authorizes
the following statement as TO recent
cable reports that Spain has Instructed
him to open negotiations for new
commercial treaty:
"Slnce the reciprocity arrangements
q brisk trade has been carried on be-
tween the United States and Cubs and
Porto Rico, composed principally OF
farm products, which runs up into the
millions, say an average of $4,000 ooo
year for American exports. Ii Is as
much in tine interest of the United
States as of Spain that the change of
mutual commodities shodld not col
lapse.
"American sugar producers do not
raise tenth part of the home consump-
ton, and struggle, besides, under disad-
vantages of climate, soil aud the price
of labor. Americans, therefore. need
our sugar and their refining Industries
are largely benefited by it, as we'll as
the farm products, which ma
ready market for their surplus in Cuba
and Porto Rico. Everything points
to the necessity of a fair and equitable
understanding, even If 1t should not
assume the formalities of treaty"
Spain has already freed from duty
all goods which left this country prior
to August 27 last the date of the new
tariff act taking effect. Secretary Car
Isle has declined like concession
toward Cuban sugar and other
products, shipped prior to August
81. but landed In this coun
try after that day, This created quite
, an agitation in Cuba. AT least so far
as Cuba is concerned the Spanish
authorities, it is said, feel Eopeful
accompli hing something In the INT
