MADRID. Nov. s-The new Cuban tarin
Is the subject OF heated discussion here AZ
present The Cuban refornists have pub-
Iished q manifesto claiming for the Gu
bans tae right 10 establish their own tariff.
on the ground that the tobacco monopoly
prevents commercial reciprocity between
Spain and Cuba The protecsionists reply
that the government must not renounee
the right 10 intervene In Cuban tariff mat
ters, pointing Oh: that the Spanish pro-
duceFs have to pay the majority OF the
Cuban debt, while they obtain no advan-
tages In return.
Opinion on the subject IL generally d.
yided. 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.
The Catalan delegation had an hours
conference with the minister OF the colo
nies, Senior Moret, today. in which they
protested against the Cuban tariff being
made autonomous The minister replied
that he had fully considered the general
interests of the colonies, and was con-
WINGED that his policy alone would lead 10
a peaceful solution He explained that in
dealing with the colonies. national and not
merely certain industrial interests must be
considered. He announced his intention 10
maintain his opinion before the cabinet,
and IL his colleagues disagreed with him
he was prepared TO resign.
Later the Catalan delegates .eiegraphed
to their friends in Barcelona TO abstain
from taking part in the demonstration In
honor of Gen. Weyier.
The cabinet council came to an end at
$50. According TO an official communica-
ton 1t appears that Gen. Correa, minister
of war. reported TO his colleagues that,
beyond Gen. Weyier's announcement
printed in the Havana Gazette, the retir-
ing governor general OF Cuba, when re-
ceiying populations just prior to his de-
parture, confined himself to advising all
classes TO show their respect for the de-
cisions Of the constituted government.
The council then proceeded to discuss.

Regarding political utterances. a state

Marshal Bianco. in the course OF the con-

Only divine providence is able TO save
