follows: II am one OF the corporators

ment Of the purpose for which the asso-

SLOW TO CALL DOWN SPAIN.
NrKINLEY's CUBAN POLICY NOT YET
DECIDED ON.

No Truth In the Statement That Gen.
WOOdford Has Been Instructed to
Intimate to Spanish Authorities
That If Spain Refuses TO Grant
Freedom TO Cuba She Must BE Pre-
pared to Yield 10 FOrce-Mr. CnI-
hOun stilI at the Capital.
Washington, June 19,-It can be stated
on the best authority that all publications
purporting to outline the Cuban policy OF
President Mckinley that have been made
up to the present time have been in dis
regard of the fact that up to this moment
the case of the United States government
has not been made up, and that even in
the discussions of the subject of our re-
lations to Cuba that have taken place in
the cabinet circle the point has not yet
been reached where 1t can be said that the
executive has finally determined upon any
certain plan of action. At the state de-
partment, an authoritative denial is given
of the statement cabled to London to the
effect that Gen. Woodford, the newly ap-
pointed United States minister TO Spain,
has been instructed to intimate to the
Spanish authorities that II Spain refuses
to grant freedom to Cuba, she must be
prepared to yield to force.

GERMAN CABINET CHANGES.
The Kaiser Intensely Dissatisfied
With DIR. Won BOetticher.

Berlin, June 19.-In spite of semi official
denlals there is no doubt that another
shuffiing of the cabinet has been decided
upon by the emperor
DR.. Won Boetticher, the vice president
of the council of ministers and imperial
secretary of state for the interior the
vice chancellor and Prince Hohenlohe's s
mouthpiece in the Reichstag and Diet, has
intensely dissatisfied his majesty by re-
peated recent failures to vigorously rep,
resent the government during important
debates. Emperor William is especially
incensed at the failure of Dr. Won Boet-
ucher to reply to Herr Richter's terrible
arraignment of his majesty's policy and
acts in the Reichstag on May Is. DR..
Miguel, the minister of finance Will re-
place DR.. Won Boetticher with increased
prerogatives and functions, not only in
the Prussian, but in the imperial cabinet.
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein, the
minister for foreign affairs, remains in
office for awhile longer, or at least until
a suitable successor can be found. 1t is
an open secret that he has lost the favor,
and, TO some extent, the confidence of the

JAPAN AND OUR TARIFF.
Courteous Protest Made Against the
Pending Bill.

Dill
Washington, June 1.-THE protest made
by the Japanese government against the
pending tariff bill is formally embodied in
the note from Minister Torie Hoshi of a
date as late as June 8. The note is couch
ed in courteous language but there is
firmness to the tone observable that indi-
Gates that remonstrance may be followed
by acts of retaliation if disregarded. The
note begins with an apology for express
ing an opinion that under ordinary condi-
tlons might be regarded as trenching up
on domestic affairs, but cites as justifca-
ton that japanese interests are involved
and in the opinion of the japanese min
lister the proposed increase of duties Will
injure the United States no less than ia
pan by retardihg the growth of CONNER
cial relations.
Besides the more important aralcles that
will be injudiciously affected are light
weight silk, silk handkerchiefs, mating
hemp, jute, rugs and carpets and tea. In
the case of silks the minister says the pro-
posed duty will amount to an advalorem
rate of between 95 and 100 per cent. and
upon handkerchiefs the duty will be 10 per
cent more. These rates. it is stated, are
practically prohibitory and bear upon the
cheap silks peculiar to Japan

ATTACKS ON LEE CONDEMNED.
La Lucha Takes the Organ of the
Spanish Military to Task.

4
Havana, June 19-La Lueha, in a lead
ing editorial strongly condemns the at
tacks of the organ of the Spanish ad-
miralty on Consul General Lee, which it
says, are indiscreet. adding that such at
tacks made at time when the govern
ment at Washington contemplates remov-
ing the consul general may induce the
American government to retain him in his
position. The authorities at Washington
might remove Gen. Lee of their own ac-
cord, but would not do so because Of
pressure brought to bear by the Spanish
press.
La Lucha further says the American
government hasalready placed their value
upon Gen Lees services, which fact is
shown by the expression of opinion by
persons in high positions at Washington
in favor of the consul generals removal,
and that President Mckinley will name,
as did President Cleveland, a person for
the post who is in his confidence.
