STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT.
Possibility That the Supreme Court
Income Tax Decision Has Killed
the Internal Revenue Laws.
Plausible Opinion of Prominent Ten
nessee Jurist-Whisky and Tobac-
co Taxes Void-What the
Result Would Be.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 22.-The start
ling announcement is made by Colonel
Knoble Smithson, a Knoxville attorney
who has had much practice before the
United States supreme court, that the de.
cision of that court on the income tax
also killed the internal revenue laws. In
a carefully prepared opinion, Col. Smith.
son says: "Justice Fuller, in his opinion,
says that the constitution divides federal
taxation into two classes, first, direct
taxes; second, imports and e1cises; and
that direct taxes must be apportioned
among the several states In proportion
to their representation in the house of
representatives.
apparently the logical result of his
opinion is that all federal taxes, except
duties on imports, that is to say duties
collected under the tariff law, must be
apportioned among the states according
to their representation in the house Of re-
presentatives. The act of August 81,
1894, the Wilson bill, section 48, provides
that there shall be levied and collected on
distilled spirits, etc., a tax of $1.1O on
each proof gallon. The statutes of the
United States also levy tax of cents a
pound on tobacco, etc. It seems clear
that, according to this opinion of the chief
justice, that these are direct taxes on
personal property, and, not being ap-
portioned among the several states ac-
cording to representation, they are uncoh
stitu tional and void.
''If this view be correct the supreme
court has not only wiped out the income
tax, but has practically repealed the in
ternal revenue law as it affects tobacco,
whisky, brandy, etc. If this construction
of the opinion be correct, all direct taxes,
including those on real and personal
property, must be levied according to
representation, SO that the rich of New
York, Massachusetts and other eastern
states will pay no more tax per capita
than the poorer people of the western
and southern states.
''Of course this Is not to be thought of.
1t would result that practically all the
revenues to support the government
must be raised by duties on imports, and,
instead of reducing the tariff, it will nec-
essarily increase it materially"

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
MexicO's New Plan Of Raising Rev.
enue- silver and Gold Mines will
He Taxed-GuatemalaB Bonds
Illinois Democrats
for Silver.

Washington, May 22.-Word reaches
Washington that Mexico is about to adopt
a new plan for raising revenue by taxing
all silver ana gold mines, in which Amer.
lean capitalists are heavily interested
Finance Minister Limantour frat sug-
gested this plan 10 the budget commit
tee, who accepted it and present it to the
chamber of deputies as a part of the fed
eral revenues for the current year. The
proposed tax, it is estimated in the bud
get, will yield $2,275,OOO, which makes it
the third item in Importance in Mexican
revenues, being exceeded only by the
customs and internal revenue or stamp
tax. The new tax is to be called the tex
traction tax"
It is ~ per cent on silver and 81 on
gold. It is to be put on every species o:
the two precious metals rough or refined.
The collection is to be made at the met
allurgical Offices on such metals as are
for local use and at the point of export
on metals send abroad. This "extraction
tax" is an addition to the charge for mint
ing or coming. There are no exemp-
tions, even in case of special mining con-
cessions or zones granted by the govern
ment.
Another prospective change affecting
American interests is likely to result from
the silver-lead ore item of the last United
States tariff act. II is not improbable
that the old American rate of ! per cent
per pound on the lead contained in silver
lead ore will be re-imposed by Mexico.
The rate was reduced to 70 per pound
by the United States act. A provision
was added that, in case foreign countries
should impose an import duty upon silver
ore containing lead exported to the Uni
ted States from such country then the
duty upon such ores, when imported from
such countries, shall remain as fixed by
law in force prior to the passage of this
act. II is under this provision that the
Mexican law Is likely to be changed.
GUATEMALA WANTS TO FUND BONDS.
The American, German and British

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS ron SILVER.
Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois,
called on the president to-day. The SEN
ator jokingly responded to the question,
as to whether the silver movement in ILL.,
nois had been arrested, by saying that
warrants we're out for the movement, but
that the officers having the warrants had
been unable to come up with it yet. The
senator says it is foregone conclusion
that free silver plank will be adopted
at the Democratic convention in June.

UNAWARE OF THE ENEMY THEY
MARCHED INTO THE PERIL
GUS POSITION.
EIGHT HUNDRED WERE KILLED
THIS WAS THE Most IMPORTANT
BATTLE SINCE THE REVOLT
TON BEGAN.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 25.-The Times
tomorrow will print the following dis
patch from Key West: News received here
to-day states that General Maceo has by
forced marches reached the province OF
Matanzas, and that last Monday, with 5000
Cubans, he engaged a cavalry force of $500
Spaniards in the San Juan Valley.
Early in the morning the insurgent out
posts brought news of the approach OF
Spanish cavalry. General Maceo at once
placed his army in position to receive the
enemy. A hollow square was formed and
force of 1000 men placed in ambush, The
Spanish forces. unaware of the presence OF
the enemy, marched into the trap of death
and were only apprised of their perilous
position when the insurgents opened fire
on them.
The Spanisrds made a brave fight, but
owing to the thickness of the forest and
the Doggy condition of the valley the cav
airy was greatly handicapped. After q
struggle of four hours the Spanish troops
were forced to retreat, leaving 800 men
dead on the field.
The insurgents secured all the arms and
ammunition of the dead Spaniards. This
battle is the most I'M ortant fight since the
breaking out OF the revolution. The Cuban
colony here is wild with joy.
Private advices confirm the report of the
landing OF an expedition in Cuba under
the leadership of Colonel GARLIC. The ex.
petition was landed at Boco del Tore
October 81 and consisted of forty-eight
men, seventeen pieces of artillery and two
gatling guns. This is part of the expe.
dition which was recently arrested in Viii.
