CRISIS AT HAND.

omY Scheme for Cuba.
Ine Cabinet Receives Delegations and Pro-
tests Against Giving the Cubans the
Right to Fix Cuban Tariff-The En-
tire Programme is Endangered.

MADRID, Nov. 24.-The cabinet. at
its meeting Tuesday, approved the
scheme of autonomy for Cuba as pre-
pared by Senor Sagasta, excepting in
regard to trade regulations. This mat
ter will be further considered and some
notifications made in order to protect
Spanish imports into Cuba.
The cabinet had received delegations
and protests against giving the Cuban
chamber the right to fix Cuban tariff
and was forced to bow to the popular
will.
The delay and modification NAV i'm
peril the entire autonomous pro-
gramme, as the right of the Cubans to
regulate their own tariff has been a
bone of contention between them and
the mother country for years.
A cabinet crisis may also result.
Senior Moret, minister of colonies, told
one of the protesting delegations that
rather than abandon any part of the
governments proposals he would re-

ADDRESS ISSUED

press TO Grant BelIigerent Rights.
New YORK. Nov. 23.-The Cuban
League of the United States of Amer.
lea Monday issued an address to the
branch leagues existing in various
parts of the country, urging united
and energetic action in further effort
to induce congress to grant belligerent
rights to Cuba. The address, which is
signed by Col Ethan Allen, the presi-
dent of the league, points out, first,
that the Cuban problem is approach-
ing its solution and demands that
the American people should insist
upon their political representatives.
taking action in behalf of the Cuban
insurgents. ''The cowardice of wealth,
the address continues, reducing our
officials to inaction while murder has
been done, the insincerity of rulers in
venting special pleas to cover their
treachery to national duty, the open
and unnecessary interference with the
legal commerce of the country as an
act of grace to brutal Spain and making
us her ally against those following
our historic teaching, have all run
their courses, to the wounding of ma
tional pride and to our utterly ex-
hausted patience. But time and the
Cuban sword have brought the crisis
which foreruns final cure in Cuban
independence. This is the hour of
American opportunity. Effective
work can be done, which, if well done.
will go far to excuse our past neglect.
Congress is the objective point. Cuba
should be put on equal terms with
Spain, regarding supplies from our
burdened magazines ........
The address then calls upon its MEM
bers throughout the country to unite
in demanding that their congressional
representatives shall vote for the
granting of Aelligerent rights to the
insurgents.

2 CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Americanized and
native-bOrn Chinese will appeal to con-

neSe from all over the United States
will address the meeting. They will
declare that wrongs have been infiict-
ed upon them since they have been re-
fused the rights of citizenship and will
ask the aid of the people of the United
States to help them in their cause
This, it is said, will be the first time
that the Chinese shall have openly de-
clared themselves. They have organized
the Chinese Equal Rights League of
America, with offices in this city.
Wong Chin Foo is president of the or
ganizatiOn. In an interview he said:
''We want Illinois, the place where
Lincoln, Grant and Logan called their
home, to do for the Chinese what the
north did for the Negroes. Why should
we not have a voice in municipal and
national affairs, like other foreigners?
''There are $4,000 Chinese in this
country desirous of becoming citizens.
SIN 1882 an outrageous law was
passed by congress. By that law the
rights and liberties of nearly 25O,OOO
lawful and Industrious citizens were
swept away. We will now ask con-
gress to restore us the sovereign rights
we once enjoyed, which are held by ev-
cry other race who comes here. Those
who wish to become voters have
been living in this country from ten to
forty years. Their financial and social
interests are all here and they have
learned to love America better than
they did China. They have acquired
: American ideas and habits, which have
rendered their residence in China al
most impossible. The situation has
now come to stage where we must
ask for our rights"

pcrhars no people in the world have
had better opportunities 10 lean wha,
tariff means than those or the United
States, and tnare are very many OF
them who have learned the lesson at
considerable cost.
During the past several years. and in
cluding the present, we have had the
qestson presented in almost every form
until the people on the outside are as
fully qualified TO say what is good FOR
the country in the way of tariff rs the
men in Congress who undertake to
make It.
Whiting on this line the New Yorl,

The tariff discussions of the past
twelve years have 1T least done good
TO this eNtent-that the people now
know the tariff 20 be a tax that ar
fe1.S them powerfully. 1t was once
possible for tariff makers to assume
lofty air Of superiority. The plain
people could not unde. stand those
deep mysteries. Just trust tho Ways

change. the effect OF every change
demonstrated. There are now more
and better tariff experts out side of
Congress than in it. '..Thu
fact is that the success Of the pro-
tcctivc tariff depends upon the Sc
crecy with which they can be framed
and the concealed nature OF their
operation. 1t was the younger Pitt,
we believe. who said that Il pro-
tective tax was The most ingenious
means of robb!niy 4 nation, without
its Knowledge, ever invented. But
The nation is no longer in ignorance
as 10 this matter. 1t has learned
that a protective tax is 4 tax which
i, has to pay like any other, and
1t is getting to be as suspicious and
angry about unjust tariff taxation as
about any other kind"
The Post strikes The nail on the head
when ii says that every schedule, every
clause OF Il new tariff bill is eagerly
scru;inized by the people and that in
very many instances there are better
tariff experts out Of Congress than in.
