TRADE is STOPPED
insurgents in Cuba Burn Build

People.
HATRED FOR ALL AMERICANS.
They Can Hold No Positions
of Trust on the
Island.

New ORLEANS, April 1l.-Frank Fl.
Duncan, a sugar planter just returned
from Cuba says that all trade is prac-
tically stopped there and that the sugar
crop of the island will be small. He
said:
"With brigands, insurgents and rob
bers of all kinds the people are kept i'll
constant terror of their lives. The in
surgents burn sugar houses, country
haciendas and sometimes towns, and
act generally like set of barbarians.
1t is not race war, and all of the three
revolutionary war leaders hate the ne
groes, though one of them is mulatto.
''The Spanish troops just sent ever
are not good soldiers. Spain
Cannot Afford to Lose Cuba,
and for that reason all Americans are
treated with distrust. The hatred is so
intense that orders were issued some
time ago that no American could hold
position of trust ON the island. The
railroads are forbidden to hire Ameri-
cans. Other foreigners are treated all
right, and they only hate Americans
because they fear they will take the
island. The insurgents favor America
and the general sentiment expressed is:
IF we do not get our freedom we annex
to America The country, is in ter
rible state and the insurgents are be-
coming quite formidable.

point commission to cooperate with
the United States committee unless the

desirous that Great Britain should do
so. In answer to question Sir Ed

struction of the canal was proceeded
with, the government would take steps

IN A GREAT MIDDLE.
Income Tax Collectors Fail to Find Out
Where They Are At.

Income Tax Collectors Fail to Find Out
Where They Are At.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE decision
Of the supreme court i'll the income tax
case has plunged the internal revenue
officials into almost inexplicable mys-
terry and trouble, and the more the de-
cisiOn is studied the greater seems to be
the difficulty attending clear under
standing Of its scope. The declaration
that rents and incomes from real estate
are exempted has opened up a question
Very Difficult of Solution.
The question has arisen for serious
consideration whether the effect Of the
decision is not to include not only rents
proper, but all profits Of whatever char
acter growing out Of real estate, includ-
ing farm products, timber, coal and al
mine products, within the exempt
class, so that real estate, including
buildings thereon, which, whatever else
is held by law to be part of realty, will
be entirely exempt. Whether losses
sustained through bad rent debts, the
amount of expenses incurred i'll collect
ing rents or repairs on houses are to be
deducted from incomes is also a mooted
question.
Supposing Case.
Under the decision rents are not to be
included i'll assessing the income tax.
Suppose, it is asked, mans income is
of a mixed character, that is, from real
and personal property? The former is
exempt. Can he deduct the expenses
necessary for the collection Of his in-
come from personal property before
making return? The question is puz-
zling the revenue collectors, and legal
opinion on the point will probably be
sought.
Another Grave Question.
Another grave question raised by the
decision is whether the roadbed, round
houses, stations, etc, Of railroads are
real estate or personal property within
the meaning of the law. The laws Of
several states are said to differ on this
point and on several others of import
ance which are involved i'll the opinion
of the court.
As soon as a verified copy Of the
opinion can be had the internal reve-
nue. officials will begin the preparation
of supplementary regulations, which
will cover in a more OF less general way
the opinion of the court, leaving the
more obstruse questions TO be solved as
they are presented. Collectors in diff
ferent parts Of the country already have
begun to telegraph for instructions on
many points, at the same time stating
that the crush of those who desire to
make returns has already begun. All
things considered, it is now thought
that the loss to the treasury receipts
from the income tax source will not OK
.ceed 80 per cent of the total that had
been expected from this tax and may
reach much higher figure.

SETTLERS MUST GO.
Squatters Will Re Removed From the
Yankton Reserve.

NanktOn Reserve.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Secretary
Smith took up the protests of the Yank-
ton Indians against allowing the State
Of South Dakota to select school lands
within the ceded reservation. The Sec
retary decided to recommend to the
president, who has the proclamation
declaring the lands open yet unsigned,
to temporarily withhold his signature.
He will allow the state two weeks
within which to file arguments show
ing its rights to select these lands, and
thereafter will render his decision. 1t
is probable that in the meantime he
will take some steps to have squatters
removed from the reservation, task
that may require the use of United
States troops,
