NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Resolutions Adopted Recommending Congress
to Inquire Carefully into Postal Rates.

Washington. Dec 13.-Resoiutions We're
adopted by the National Board of Trade.
today, calling attention to the gratifying
increase in the export trade of this coun-
try, especially in manufactured products,
and recommending that reciprocal trea-
ties should be negotiated. especially with
the countries of the American continent.
mended that Congress carefully look into
the matter of rates paid to the railroads
by the government for carrying the mails,
with the view of revising such rates on Il
basis equitable to both government and
railroads. The hope was expressed that
reduction in rates might pave the way
to the Improvement of the service and
the adoption OF one cent letter postage.
a report was adopted favOring the en-
actment of the Loud bill or some similar
legislation amending the postal laws reia-
tive to sec0nd-claSs matter. which at the
present rates is calculated to make 1t
heavy drain on the postal revenues; also
a resolution favoring the negotiating with
other countries of a treaty for the adGp-
ton of an International postage STAMP
and for the reorganization Of our present
rates can be offered for the transmssion
of parcels of merchandise. The commit
tee also reported a resolution favoring
the establishment of postal savings
banks.
a motion was made for the reconsider
alton of the vote on a resolution whIch
was defeated, yesterday, favoring IL re-
duction of the tax on distilled spirits from
Sl.l0 to 40 cents per gallon. After discus
sion the motion was adopted. but a mo-
| ton TO table the resolution subsequently
prevailed: After quantity of routine
business had been disposed of, the board

cUBA'S COMMANDERS.
Lee and Wilson Will Probably Have Havana
and Matanzas Respectively.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The war depart
nent made public, today, the formal or
der providing for the military govern
ment of Cuba. The notable feature of the
order is that Major General Ludlow, who
is designated as military governor of Ha-
vana city, while nominally subordinate 10
a division commander. Gen. Brooke Is APP
parently charged to exercise all the civil
functions in that place under the direct
authority of the President. Gen. Lee s
functions appear to be limited to those OF
a strictly military character, although it
is said at the war department that he
may eventually be charged with all the
duties, civil as well as military, of the
governor of a province.
The commands of military departments
of the division of Cuba, commanded by
Gen. Brooke. so far as decided upon, are
as follows: Department of Pinar del Rio,
1,rig. Gen. G. w. Davis; department of
Puerto Principe, Gen. L. II. Carpenter;
department of Santa Clara. Gen. Simon
Snyder; department of Santiago Gen.
Leonard Wood. This leaves the provinces
of avana and Matanzas unprovided for.
These commands will probably be left
open until the return of the President
from the South, but the probabilities are
strong that Maj. Gen. Lee will be as
signed to the department of Havana and
Maj. Gen. ]. H. Wilson to the command
of the department of MatanZas.

there will not be many losses. Fur
