AsuIYGTOY, Dec. 26.-lnteresting
--levelopments are expected ut an early
day MS n result of the strained rela-
tions bet, cen the United States and
Spain over the tariff. Spain has al.
ready placed the United States ''in
the first column and Secretary
Gresham has rejoined by directing
Minister Taylor ut Madrid to notify
the Spaniah government that II the
United States Is not removed from
.sthe first column" this country will
retaliate. In official circles II Is not
believed that Spain will yield to the
protest OF Secretary Gresham. In
that event II the eecretary carries
ont his threats Of retaliation Presi-
dent Cleveland will issue proclama-
ton closing American ports to the
products of Spain. The first effect of
this will be ~ shut out the enormous
shipments of raw sugar which Cuba
makes to this country.
In official circles II Is stated that
Cuba furnishes seven eighths OF all
( the raw sugar used In American re-
fineries. The other eighth comes
from Louisiana and Hawaii, but it is
said that il would be impossible to
make up this seven-eighths now
drawn from Cuba. 1t is asserted,
there fore. by those in no way id.nti-
led with or partial to the sugar re-
fineries. that the retaliation would
cut them off from their supplies and
close them up, throwing a0.Ooo men
ont of work. The stat ment was
made by high official who has had
much to do with the negotiations and
who is very apprehensive of its re-
suits. lie added that the ultimate eff
feet of the warfare would be to adj
vance the prce of sugar from three
to six cents per pound, thus making
the public bear the burden.
In levying duties Spain arranges
countries In two columns. The first
column includes those who hav, not
entered into satisfactory tr,atv ar
rangement, with Spain. Until re-
Gently Brazil was the only country IN
the globe which Spain had put in this
column, nil other countri s being in

But when the United States tariff
