ship, Spain has given the United States
IN manner without precedent in history,
she has not received in exchange from the
government of the republic anything sig
nitying the purpose of that government
TO put stop to the departure of flbus-
tering expeditions from the United States.
Continuing, La Lucha says the more
Spain yields the greater enthusiasm will
be manifested by the American people in
favor of the separatists, explaining, how
ever, that this is not out of love for the
Cubaps, but in the interests of American
agitators.
Much has been written against the edict
of RECOMMENDATION, isued by Gen. Wey-
ler but it is claimed here that careful
study of the question would show that the
result of the adjustment of that system
would be to intensity the sufferings of the
destitute people mostly women and chill
dren, who have been gathered together
near the towns held by the Spanish
troops, for nearly all the country homes
and peasant huts have been destroyed by
fire and the soil of the country has been
laid bare. The Spanish authorities are
seeking to solve the question to the best
of their ability, and are making endeav-
ors to give able-bodied reconcentradoes
work, and are trying to succor those who
are too weak to do anything for them
selves. but it must be admitted that very
little in this direction can be expected
of the Spanish government when it is re-
membered that the authorities are eight
months in arrears to the soldiers and ex-
periencing the utmost difficulty in provid-
ing food for the armies in the field. I'm
der the circumstances there is only one
way to succor these poor people-that is
to appeal to the charitable women of Cuba
for aid, and to ask the International Red
Cross Society to take the matter in hand.
But here, again, the pride of the Span
iards bars the way, and it is likely the
distressing condition of affairs existing in
Cuba will continue until some humane per-
sons arise in Europe or the United States
and make a determined effort to assist
those whose only crime is that they are
compelled to obey the orders of those in
authority. The Spaniards in some cases
go even further than this, and take the
ground that the Red Cross movement
should be started in the United States,
adding that as it is from the United
States the insurgents receive their aid, so
it should be from the United States that
the movement in behalf of the suffering
Of both sides should come.

cUBA's NEW GOVERNMENT.
Right to Fix Tariff Rates Demanded
by the RefOrmists.

Madrid, Nov. 22-The new Cuban tariff
is the subject of considerable heated dis
cussion here at present. The Cuban re-
formists have issued a manifesto claim
ing for the Cubans the right to estab-
lish their own tariff, on the ground that
the tobacco monopoly prevents commercial
reciprocity between Spain and Cuba The
protectionists reply that the government
must not renounce the right to intervene
in Cllban tariff matters, pointing out that
the Spanish producers have to pay the
majority of the Cuban debts, while they
obtain no advantages in return.
Opinion on the subject is generally di-
Vided. While the Catalan towns protest
against tariff autonomy being granted to
Cuba, other corporations, such as the cor
poration of Huelva. warmly congratulate
the government upon its efforts to bring
| about peace and end the sacrifices of the
nation.
A Catalan delegation had an hours con-
ference with the minister for the colonies
Senor Moret to-day, in which they pro-
tested against the Cuban tariff being made
autonomous. The minister replied that he
had fully considered the general interests
of the colonies and was convinced that his
policy alone would lead to peaceful So
luton He explained that in dealing with
the colonies, national and not merely GER
tain industrial interests must be consid-
cred, and, continuing, Senor Moret an
nounced his intention to maintain his
opinions before the cabinet, and if his col
leagues disagreed with him, he was pre-
pared to resign.
Later the Catalan delegates telegraphed
to their friends in Barcelona to abstain
from taking part in the demonstration in
honor of Gen. Weyler
AS this dispatch is issued the cabinet,
which met at 5 o'clock this afternoon
came to an end tonight at $50 O'clock
According to an official communication il
appears that Gen. Correa, minister of war,
reported to his colleagues that beyond
Gen. Weyler's pronOuncement printed in
the Havana Gazette. the retiring gov
ernor general of Cuba when receiving
deputations just prior to his departure,
confined himself to advising all classes
to show their respect for the decisions Of
the constituted government.
The council then proceeded to discuss.
article by article, Senor Morets projects
of autonomy for Cuba and Porto Rico, ap-
proving all, except the article dealing with
the tariff. Senor Moret described the
interviews he had earlier in the day with
the Catalan delegations, and as a result
of these statements the council decided to
postpone the discussion on the article on
tariffs until tomorrow.
The government denies the report that
a well-organized band of Carlists has ap-
peared in the province of Tereul.
The Commercial Union of Madrid sup
ports autonomy.
