CUBA's TARIFF DUTIES.
Imports From This Country to Go
in Under n Lower Rate


i'm Under Lower Rate.
Washington. Jan. SO.-Secretary Ores
ham this morning received a cablegram
from Minister Taylor at Madrid announc-
ing that the Spanish Senate had approved
the modus vivendi giving the United
States the benefit of the tariff on impor-
tations to Cuba and other colonies enjoyed
under the former reciprocity arrange
ment
Secretary Gresham Understands that the
modus vivendi between Spain and the Uni
ted States which passed the Senate at
Madrid yesterday will go into effect at
once. The text of the bill proposed by the
Spanish government as published Off
cially in Madrid is as follows;
The government is authorized to apply to
the products and manufacturers of the
United States, which. coming from the
ports of the United States, are admitted
into the ports of Cuba and Porto Rico, the
second column of the customs duties in
force in Cuba and Porto Rico, in return
for the United States applying their lowest
duties to the products of the soil and in
dustries of Cuba and Porto Rico.
This modus videndi will remain in force
till a definite treaty is concluded between
the two countries interested. or until one
of them announces, three months in ad-
vance, the day on which it wishes to put
an end to 1t. Alexandra Groizard,
Minister of State.
This action of Spain is restoring the
lowest rates of duty to American products
is a complete surrender to the contention
of the United States that as long as we
did not discriminate against Cuba or
Porto Rico we were entitled under the
favored nation clause to the rates exist
ing heretofore. Failing in that. the Uni

GERMANY AND our OILS.
An Explanation of the Proposed
Change in the Tariff.

An Explanation of the Proposed
Change in the Tariff.
Washington. Jan. SO.-The German en-
bassy makes the following explanation
of the cotton seed oil matter:
The German government as has been
reported. is contemplating a change in
the tariff on cotton seed OIL This con
templated change, however. is not of re-
cent date. In the spring of 1898 and again
in the spring of 1894, a law was submitted
to the German parliament which so far
has failed of being acted upon. The plan
contemplates change in the act of
1879 so as TO make a difference in the du-
ties on vegetable oils, which are used
for food and those which are used for me-
chanical purposes.
In 1879, when the law was passed impos-
ing duties on vegetable oils, science had
not sufficiently progressed to purify
such oils, as those made of cotton seed
for food purposes. Such being the case
now the German government claims that
il used for table purposes, it should pay
a higher rate of duty than when simply
used for machinery. II used for the lat
ter purposes the tariff is to be reduced
from four marks to three and a half marks
per kilogram. 1t is likewise given out
that the amount of the new duty in con-
temptation is to be in full harmony with
the duties on similar oils of all other
countries
