NEW YORK, May 12.-Cuban CEN
trifugal, SO degrees, 2.90 cents gran
ulated, cents net.
The San Francisco market is fairly
active and receipts continue large.
The tariff bill, as finally agreed
upon by the Democratic members of
| the Senate Finance Committee, was
made public on the 7th. Many
| changes have been made since the
! committee reported its first bill, but
these changes are by no means con-
sidered radical. It is believed the new
bill, or in other words the amend
ments to the original bill, will receive
| the support of all the Democratic Sem
| ators, with the possible exception of
Hill, who may fall into line when the
| final vote is taken. There was a story
in circulation today that Caffery and
Blanchard may oppose the measure
because their Louisiana constituents
have protested against the abolition
of the sugar bounty. 1t is fact,
however, that the colleagues of Caf-
ferry and Blanchard do not appear to
be at all worried over this rumor.
Neither of the two Senators will dis
cusS the matter. The amendments on
the sugar tariff follow:
THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.
The new sugar schedule provides:

Secretary Gresham is evidently |
bent on trying to duplicate his |
Hawaiian record in Samoa as far as
he can do so. The following dispatch
from Washington explains itself:
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Presi-
dent today submitted to the Senate
the correspondence relative to Samoa
called for by Senator Gray's resolution
of A pril 9Th. The CORRESPONDENCE is
very voluminous, covering about TO-
600 pages. In submitting it to the
President Secretary Gresham has TAX
en- the opportunity to set out at length
his conclusions as to the workings of
the tripal tite agreement. This letter
Of the Secretary is certain to give rise
TO much discussion and controversy.
The Secretary details at some length
he facts connected with the tripartiIe
in Samoa, the establish
nent OF new form of government,
he election of Malietoa as King, the
reluctance of the natives to accept the
new regime, the resort to coercive
measures, the breaking out of war i'm
July, 1898, the intervention of Mata- :
fla and eleven other chiefs. Then
the appointment of Henry
;. Ide as Chief Justice and the more
ecent troubles in Samoa.
The Hawaiian Matter.
President Cleveland recently in
Ormed member of the House Foreign
Relations Committee that advices had
'een received from Hawaii Indicating
hat no trouble is likely to follow the ,
of a new government, and ,
hat the change would be accomp- .
ished in very few weeks.
The President feels confident that a
