The One Now Raging in the
East the Worst in Many
Years:
TRAFFIC IS BADLY DELAYED.
Snowfall In Some Localities
Estimated at a Foot and
Half.

NEW YORK, Dec. g. Officials Of the
New York aud Hudson River Central
railroad report that the present storm
is the worst experienced since the great
blizzard. A popularity of.the existing
blockade is found in the fact that while
vastbound trains in the central part of
the state, at Albany and Buffalo, are
from seven to fourteen hours late,
there is no trouble worth speaking Of
on the division between Albany and
New York. Rochester and Syracuse
have been the chief storm centers dur
ing the past "a hours, and these cities
are said by local railroad officials to be
headquarters for prevailing troubles.
Many Of the freight trains had been
reported stalled during the day, but it
is emphatically denied that any Of the
mail or passenger trains have been
abandoned. The reports received indi-
cate that in many places snow has
reached depth of is or 10 inches, and
the crews sent out have had severe
struggle with the elements.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The govern

avert the threatened tariff warfare be-
tween Cuba and the United States, has
under serious and favorable considera-
ton the cession to Cuba of the privilege
OF arranging her own revenue budget,
including tariffs with tho United
States. This Cuban budget is to be
subject to the approval of Spain. The
negotiations now progressing at Madrid
are partly on these lines, but the state
department. authorities are proceeding,

plans, as they do not believe Spain's
to Cuba can be carried out
and made beneficial to US for some
months to come. The significance of
the matter in its commercial and politi-
cal aspects is fully realized.
