There is going to be long squabble
with Spain, growing out Of the present
instruction, because large number of
the revolutionary leaders are naturali-
zed citizens of the United States. It is
the regular practice of dissatisfied Or
suspected Cubans TO abandon that is
land and reside In New York or Flori-
da, cultiyating their plantations by as
signment of powers of attorney or other
wise through agents, or Administers
doris" as they call them. And the first
thing they do when they come to this
country is to secure naturalization pa
pers for their protection when they re-
turn to their former homes and TO pre-
serve their property from confiscn ton
by the Spanish authorities. Several
such families are living in Washing
ton who have profitable estates on the
island, growing sugar and tobacco,
which bring them a revenue sufficient
to sustain them in great luxury, and
there are many more in the city of New
York In fact, the Cuban colony In that
place will number several thousand
persons, nearly all of whom are volun-
tary or involuntary eXileS.

Chicago, April 2O.-The Washington

member of the cabinet says that Pres
ident Cleveland had never favored the

priSed at the way in which ii was torn
to pieces by the Supreme court AS
stated in his message Of 1893, the presi-
dent favored n tax upon the earnings
of corporations and believed that
method of raising revenues, but he
has never advised the taxation of rents
or the profits of ordinary business. Nor
would the president appoint any one
TO a vacancy upon the Supreme bench
with the expectation or desire that he
would sustain the law. Three or four
times the court has been ''set up" to
decide some particular question in ac-
cordance with the views Of the excel
tive power, and there has been a good
deal of discussion here as to whether
Mr.. Cleveland might not put man
in Justice Jackson'S place who would
vote to confirm the constitutionality of
the income tax, just as General Grant
is said to have appointed Justice Brad
ley to establish tie constitutionality of
the legal tender act. He would be
more likely to select a man of contrary
views If he allowed himself 30 be gov
erned by such motives, which is very
doubtful.
