100000 PEsETos
Is Demanded from Spain for Overcharge
in Customs at Cuba.

Madrid, June s.-United States Minister
Taylor has notified the government that
owing to the misinterpretation of the treaty
with the United States the customs duties
are not properly collected in the Island of
Cuba. Mr.. Taylor therefore claims the
United States is entitled to reimbursement
in the sum of 22,000,0QU pesetos, basing the
claim on the ground that the articles, which
according to the English text of the agree
ment are free of duty, are not included in
the Spanish copy which n was sent to Cuba
there. If the Spanish government comedies
Mr.. Taylor's contention the Cuban revenue
will be decreased by about II 100000 pesetas.
Washington, June S.-The announcement
in the cablegram from Madrid that the
United States is pressing claims on Spain
in Cuba is confirmed at the State Depart
ment, although it cannot be learned
whether the figures given are exact. Little
doubt is entertained but that Spain will
ultimately agree TO reimburse the United
States, although considerable resistance is
probable.

CHEERS FOR REED.
He Has Friends in McKinIeys Strong
Hold.

Columbus, O., June 8.-The Repu bli-
of the most enthusiastic for several
years. When the names of Mckinley,
Reed, Sherman and Foraker were men,
toned they were loudly cheered. The
Hon. Charles Foster was made permanent
chairman, and received an ovation. He
was much affected and could make only
a short speech. He spoke of Harrison
and Blaine, and their names aroused
great enthusiasm. His mention of Reed 8
name called forth loud applause.
AllEfactions are being smoothed over
in the interest ofssMcKinley for President
in 1896. The ,old Blaine crowd are for
Reed for President. Mckinley will have
serious opposition in his own party
When the committee on platform met
it developed that Reed had followers
here. This arose over the difference son
the silver plank, wich was adopted by
the committee on resolutions. This COM
mittee supposed it had about accom-
plished it's work, and Judge Baldwin,
who is close adviser of Governor Nc
Kinley, retired. The financial plank
then was similar to those of former
years, declaring for gold, silver and pa
per money to be maintained at parity.
When the full committee met the silver
plank was the subject of protracted
discussion. Ex-Secretay of the Treasury
Foster had arrived and submitted his
views on the money question. CD.
Firestone took prominent part in the
discussion and was so much enthused on
| the silver question that his voice could
be heard in the hall.
1t is understood Mr.. Firestone was in
| favor of the Blaine plan of reciprocity
| in the coinage of silver. which has lately
| been revamped by Mr.. Reed.
A compromise was finally agreed upon
which smacks of the Reed silver idea.
| Of course theMcKinley bill was endorsed
| and strong tariff plank as constructed
| but the Reed admirers in the convention
forced the other issue into prominence
also. In this sense there was some fric-
| tion between. the Reed and Mckinley
| men ON the national issues

was present. When asked what interest
he had IN the trust and how he came to
be in Washington at the time. MIR. Ter
riIl said be liked Washington and usual

pied Mr.. TerriiPs room, SO it happened
this meeting occurred. While it was in
progress the general tariff situation was
discussed between the two senators and
Havemeyer, Terrill taking little part in
it, Mr.. Terrill said sugar was men
ioned. He denied any such conevrsa-
ton as related by MIR. Edwards ever oc-
Cured OF anything that could be con-
strued as such took place. Reference was
