In the Chicago markets on Mon
day, provisions were depressed by larger
hog receipts than expected, $1,000. and
10c decline in prices. This induced SELL
ing by packers. and also liquidation by
outside longs. Pork declined 1870, lard
&c, and ribs 1870 from Saturdays close,
but at the last the loss was only &c on
pork, 215@5c on lard. and &c on ribs, the
late rally being due to the covering by
shorts. A liberal part of the business
consisted of changing from May to July
at the regular differences. The cash
business was fair.

are $500 tons of general merchandise

INFORMATION which has reached Min
lister Dupuy de LONE of Spain, shows
that the charge upon which Rev. A. j.
Diaz. the Baptist minister, was arrested
and incarcerated by Spanish officials at
Havana, was that Of being implicated in
contemplated uprising against the
government on the outskirts of Havana.
The prisoner will have preliminary
hearing to ascertain the truth of the
offense with which he is charged.
Representative Black of Georgia called
at the State Department and talked
with the officers concerning Mr.. Diaz,
the Baptist missionary under arrest at
Havana for alleged completely in the in
surrection. After the interview Mr..
Black said there was no doubt that Diaz
had taken out naturalization papers
during his residence in this country and
is citizen of the United States. The
State Department, he said, will see to it
that Diaz is given a fair trial and is &C.
corded his rights as an American citizen.
Havana. April 20.-Rev. Albert Diaz,
the American Baptist missionary. and
his brother, Alfred, who were arrested
last week. are still held "incommunica-
do" and, therefore, nothing definite can
be ascertained regarding the charges
against them further than it is generally
understood that they are of a political
nature.

the less. he said, they honestly believed
in those principles. because they knew
that all law was founded upon the Mo-

THERE is talk of an effort to pass some
further and more pointed Cuban legis-
lation in case President Cleveland fails
to act on the suggestion of Congress
with reference to recognition Of the Gu
bans as belligerents. The constant re.
ports of outrages in Cuba. against not
only Cubans, but even citizens of the
United States. add much to the feeling
in favor of vigorous action by Congress.
This feeling is increased by the growing
belief that the President does not intend
to take any action looking to the recog-
milton of belligerency, but will only ten
der his good offices in behalf of termin-
alton of the conflict, which are not be-
lieved likely to result in cessation of
hostilities.

THE WEEKS NEWS.
TUESDAY, APRIL FL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20.-The
Spanish government within the next
four weeks will put into execution a
comprehensive system Of home rule or
autonomy for the Island OF Cuba. There
is good reason to believe that the State
department has received from Madrid
information to this effect. In any event
it is beyond question that this important
move is assured. 1t promises to bring
to a sudden termination the irritation
and friction which has existed for many
months between the United States and
Spain, and to replace this feeling with
one of friendly and amicable nature.
The law which will be put into effect
was signed by the Queen Regent of
Spain, March Is, 1895. and will be fol-
lowed up by rules and regulations de-
veloping the present scheme of reform.
By the time the Queen Regent of Spain
makes her address to the Spanish Cor
ties, which assemblies in one month, the
law will be promulgated throughout
Cuba, and the long expected policy OF
home rule for Cuba will be realized.
The law is elaborate in it's provisions.
The element of home rule is secured by
the establishment of two local bodies,
drawn largely. if not entirely. from resi-
dents of Cuba. One of these is to be
known as the Provincial Chamber of
Deputies, and the other as the Council
of Administration. The latter has ap-
pellate jurisdiction over the former.
Larger powers are granted to the Coun-
Gil of Administration in the internal
management OF public affairs, but the
Governor General will continue as the
supreme representative Of Spain on the
island, and will have direct charge of
military, naval, and international ques-
tions. The details of the reform project
were published at the time of their
adoption by the Spanish Cortes in 1895.

ABOUT REGISTRATION.

The letter of Attorney General
Haskell to County Clerk Williams,
registration, is printed
by request, but the REPUBLICAN ad-
yiscs it's readers that the attorney
general is not infallible, at least his
letter is not. For instance, his am
sWcr to the fifth question is no an
sWcr to that question at all. The
question relates to the son Of nat
1ralZcd parents, and the answer is
in regard to the son Of a native born
citizen, but who (thc SOM was born
outside Of the limits Of the United
States. Again, the attorney general
seems to hold that the certificate Of
naturalization must be presented and
stamped every time naturallzed

rule was adopted a mans papers

ABOUT TANES.

County Treasurer bowling called Il
representative into his
office on last Thursday morning and
showed him a lot Of letters received
from taxpayers who arc making com
plaint that their taxes arc not cor
rect, some being higher than last
year and some being fully as high
when they had disposed Of some Of
the property that had been listed to
them last year. Mr.. bowling says
he is getting many Of these letters,
and as it takes Il lot Of time aud the
collnty's postage stamps to reply to
them, he wished the REPUBLICAN
would make the necessary statement
to the taxpayers who imagine the
treasurer and county clerk have made
some mistake.
The facts Of the case arc That the
duties of the treasurer and clerk arc
purely clerical in this matter Of
taxes. and are performed in compl-
ancc with the law. In the first place
the board Of appraisers meet and ap-
praise the value Of town property
and also of different grades Of land.
Then tho assessor lists the property
according to the appraiScmcnt, OF
course using his Judgment as to
what grade or class land belongs in.
The commissioners meet a5 a board
Of equalization, ut which time those
having objections 10 their appralsc-
mcnt can appear and make com
Dlaint. After thi.; il, done the as
SCISSOR fills out his big assessment
book up to and including the space
left for the total value. Then the
county clerk extends the taxes ac-
cording to the levy for the different
funds, and fills out the total sum
each taxpayer has To pay. IIlIs IS
charged to the treasurer: who has tt
collect it or show cause Why he
! hasn't. The treasurer has nothing
to do with fixing tde amount OF taxes.
only TO take each mans total FROM
Hhc ,1ook and collect it. The ground:
work Of the whole business is the as
SCISSORS book and the alnOnts therein
The clerk and the treasurer cannot
change them, and complaints to then
avail nothing for they cannot remedy
or change the assessors apprillsc
mcnt.
There is another Thug about thi
question Of assessment Which SOm
people do not understand, and tha
is in regard to the special road tax o
three dollars. This is included il
the notice sent out by the treasurer
but if anyone has paid it and has
receipt, said receipt will De acccptc'
at its face value on the total alnolln
Of the tax.
If taxpayers think they have an
kick coming they should make it [
the party making the appraiScmcnt
who is the assessor.
