The Revenue Act.

Revenue Act:
AS finally adopted the Rev
enue Act makes the State tax
"a cents instead of i22 cents, as
fixed by the last General As
sembly. The School tax is IS
cents; it was 16 cents in 1898
and 1894. The Pension tax is
81 cents, the same as heretofore.
The total is 45s cents on every
800 value Of real and personal
property in the State. It was
AT cents in 1s93.'94, and 4S
cents in 1ssl-'92.
Expenditures for the nexttwo
years are estimated at 1925, 900
or some $4,000 more than for
IS93-'94. This includes not only
appropriations made by the Gen.
eral Assembly, but the expenses
of State officers, Judges and the
$3.50, 900 interest on the State
debt. The receipts on the $685..
100000 of property are figured
at 1915, 900, but it is believed
that the new assessment will
show a depreciation in value of
90 per cent. This will bring the
receipts on property down to
$3.50, 900. Included in this is
$4,000 in the State Treasury.
This depreciation will, it is be-
lieved, make the amount for the
School tax and the General tax
about the same as heretofore, |
Notwithstanding the increased
rate.
The school tax was first at le |
cents in the House, and an a |
mendment offered by M. Mel
son, Democrat, of Caldwell,
making it Is cents was voted
down by the Fusionists, but the
same amendment was again
offered in the Senate by Mr..
Adams, Democrat, and finally
passed, though it met with con.
siderable opposition.
The liquor tax is per cent.
instead of / per cent, as hereto
foro. Druggists dealing in spiri-
tuous liquors must not only OBJ

may also be taxed as liquor
dealers by counties, cities and

can deal in spirituous liquors
except upon the prescription OF

allowed by law. This makes
the tax very high, and will,

Affairs in Cuba.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April %, via
Key West, Fla, April 3O.-No active
cam paign against the infected region in
the interior has yet been inaugurated.
The total number ofgovernment troops
in the Santiago province is estimated at
5000 men, and Campos has cabled
Madrid for more men. The men-of-
war are now constantly at sea watch
ing for filibusterers Commercial annex
alton to the United States and an OPP
portunity to develop her own resources
freely is all that Cuba hopes for in the
end, and to reach that end Cuba has
sent many men into the field to shed
their life's blood if necessary, and has
many more ready to join them upon
the first definite prospect of success.
So far nothing of real value to en-
courage the insurgents has occurred.
Guerrilla warfare in the interior has
been kept up two months, and few
Spanish soldiers have been killed.
There are almost daily skirmishes, but
few casualties. Spain may have an
other international affair on her hands
growing out of the treatment of French
residents at Guantanamo by the au-
lhorities.

BRAz11,s New CApIrAL.-Itappears,

BRAzL's NEW CAPITAL.-Itappears,
says the London Daily Neaos, that the
Brazilians are not satisfied with their
present capital, Rio de Janeiro, which
is not central, not very healthy, and
perhaps not roomy enough. They are
about to build themselves brand-new
capital, embodying, as the projectors
would say, every modern improve
ment. This news was given Saturday
afternoon to the French Academy of
Sciences by one of its members, M.
Fave. This noted astronomer has just
received a communication anent the
new capital from Senior Cruis, who ap-
pends to his name the substantial title
of President of the Brazilian Commit
tee of Preliminary Investigation for the
Removal of the Capital of Brazil to the
Centre of the States of the Confedera-
ton. Senior Cruis states that the new
federal capital will be built on the Gen.
trail plateau of Brazil, in rectangle of
about 25 miles long and broad-quite
a city of magnificent distances, equal
to anything in the United States.
What is more important, the site will
be a healthy one, and, Notwithstanding
the nearness of the new capital to the
equator, the climate will be compare
lively mild by reason of the altitude.

Trial of Oscar Wilde.

LONDON, April 3O.-At the opening
of the trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred
Taylor, today, Sir Edward Clarke, for
the defence, cited Wilde's literary
works and argued that in no instance
had his client written anything that
would lead any one to suppose him
guilty of the practices alleged. Wilde
was called to the witness stand and
swore that he had had nothing to do
with publishing Lord Alfred Douglass's
poems nor had he had anything to do
with the publication of his articles in
the Chameleon (magazire). Asked to
define Lord Alfred's expression II am
the love that dare not speak its name"
Wilde said he thought it meant spirit
ual love, as pure as it was perfect.
Wilde proceeded to enlarge upon the
subject and became so eloquent as to
evoke burst of applause, causing the
Judge to threaten to clear the court un.
less silence was observed. Alfred Tay-
lor was called to the stand and told of
his career. He said he had been an
officer of the militia, but abandoned
m litary life upon coming into an in
heritance of e45,OO0. He absolutely
denied the charges against him.

The washington Arch Dedicated.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The Wash
ington memorial arch, which is now
completed save for a few finishing
touches, was dedicated and formally
presented to the city this afternoon. To-
day was selected for the ceremonies,
because it marks the one hundred and
sixth anniversary of the Inauguration of
Washington as President of the United
States. The feature of the occasion was
to have been a parade of the First and
Second Brigades and the Naval Battal-
ion, to be reviewed by Governor Nor
ton, but the weather prevented the
display. Gen. Horace Porter deliver
ed the Grafton of the day, after which
the key of the arch was handed to
Mayor Strong, who transferred it to
the president of the park department,
which will henceforth be charged with
the care of the structure.

TO-DAY's TELEGRApHIC NEWS
From Nicaragua.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-A Managua
Nicaragua, dispatch says: a riotous
spirit is beginning to be displayed. The
prospect is that mob law will prevail
before many days. The natives are
marching through the streets, gather
ing in the squares and making threats,
The police force is being increased and
native troops are being sent here. Ad-
miral Stephenson cabled to the British
admiralty that Corinto was useless
possession under present conditions,
having no business and no means OF
communication with the interior. He
asked whether he should seize San
Juan and other ports. The govern
ment still refuses to make settlement
on the basis demanded by England.
British Minister Costing denies that
Great Britain wants to possess any part
of Nicaragua. Many arrests have been
ordered on suspicion of implication in
conspiracy against President Zelaya.
General Duarte left for Blueields yes.
terday at noon with four hundred men.
He will be joined later by seven hun
dred men.
LONDON, April 3O.-Managua, Mica
ragua, advices state that President
Zelaya and his cabinet will agree to
pay the SIT 500 smart money demand
ed by Great Britain in London within
fifteen days, but ask as further condi-
ton that the British ships be first taken
out of the harbor of Corinto. This
preliminary is strongly insisted upon
on account of the condition of the feel
ing in the country, which otherwise
might render compliance with the ulti-
matum, even in its modified form, i'm
possible. Great Britain's answer to
the request has not yet been given.

THE NICARAGUAN AFFAIR.

A dispatch from Managua, Nicaragua,
says A proposition of compromise and
immediate evacuation of Corinto by the
British is now under consideration in
Washington, London and by the
authorities here. The proposition EN-
broces the following essential points:
L. Nicaragua is to pay SIT 800 at Lon
don within two weeks.
2. The British forces are to be imme-
diately withdrawn from Corinto with
out waiting for the two weeks to
elapse.
8. A mixed commission of arbitration
is to pass on the demands of Great
Britain in excess of the ST., 500 claim,
such commission to be constituted in a
manner satisfactory to the United States
and Nicaragua.
The foregoing terms. it is believed,
will be accepted by President Zelaye
and his cabinet. 1t is understood that
the suggestion of this settlement came
from the Ncaraguan representative at
Washington, and it is believed that
such an adjustment would be agreeable
to the United States authorities. If
Nicaragua's acceptance is given, the
propositions will be urged on the Lon
don foreign Office, and, it is believed,
they will be accepted.
Great Britain now probably will re-
quire Nicaragua to pay not only the
original cash demand, but all the ex-
penses Great Britain is to put to in oc-
cupying and holding Corinto, and the
expense of such further steps as she
may take. This will include the ex-
pense of landing the men, their main
tenance while on land and the many
incidental expenses of taking possession
of city.
Secretary of the Navy Herbert has
ordered three U. S. warships to Mica
raguan ports in order to protect Ameri-
can interests in the vicinity of the ca.
nal should the present disorder lead to
q revolution in that country, but in no
way to interfere with the present sit
uation.

TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 80, 10 .

THE MORNING newspaper OF WASH
ington that never says word about the
bucket shops in its city, where gamo'
ling is carried on more extensively and
iniuriously than on race tracks, ana
which, among the latter, selects the
particular one at Alexander Island for
the object of its chief assault, says that
track is the "bane" of Washington. If
that track be the resort of thieves, in
cendiaries and murderers, as the paper
referred TO and another one in the same
city say it is, those papers, for the good
of the community in which they are
printed, instead of denouncing it, should
do all they can to promote its con-
tinuance, as every criminal arrested
there lives in Washington, which shows
that it must tend greatly to relieve that
CITY, for a time at least, of its vicious
class. The ratio of vice and crime to
population is as great in Washington
as in any other city on the face of the
earth. was so even before the war,
and for obvious reasons is more so now;
and the vain attempt to make it appear
that race track has increased it, is as
absurd as i. is pharesarcal.
