presented his report to the President and
Secretary of the Treasury to-day. The
report submitted contains about $4,000

approved, will be promulgated by the Pres
ident, and take effect at the port of Glen
fuegos, Dec. l, that being, in all proba-
biity, the first important port to come
into the possession of the United States.
In the consideration of the Cuban ques-
ton, it became apparent that The most
pressing needs of the island was a tariff
that would bear lghtest in the directions
where the people could least afford the
burden Of taxation and heaviest on com
modities which the well-to-do, and those
engaged in large enterprises required.
Mr. Porter has compiled a table show
ing the general average Of reduction on
the various articles imported into Cuba
together with the value of the imports of
cotton and the manufactures thereof dur
ing the year were IS 908, POP. The general
average of reduction Is $40 per cent;
hemp, flax, jute and other vegetable fibers
and manufactures thereof, $3,5S7,7l3. 62.5
per cent.
The report also contains an analysis and
discussion of the Cuban budget in which
the effect of the new tariff on the revenue
of the country, together with the other
sources of revenue are explained and dis
cussed To the question with such large
reduction of duties, how is il possible 10 Sc
cure revenues for the purpose of admin
istering the government Of the island, the
report says: The general answer IS, that
by reason of fraudulent classification and
smuggling most Of The revenue collected
from the people Of Cuba never found Its
way into the treasury Of that island nor
to Spain.
Mr.. Porter says: 1.-THE cupidity and ra-
pacity of the Spanish official In Cuba is
beyond conception, and if we may judge
by the result at Santiago the United
States officials will be able to collect as
much revenue on tariff the duties OF
which are more than half. or nearly Two
thirds less than under the iniquitous law
now in force"
The average yearly collections through
the custom house in fifteen cities, includ-
ing Havana, from 1885 TO 1891, was SIP
CAS- 1874. The annual expenditures Of the
government are s22, 500S08. ft
The report, speaking OF the various items
of expenditure, says "A study of these
several items at once shows that che
principal expenditures for the Island OF
Cuba are those which have directly or in
directly TO do with the control Of the ISL
and by Spain"
Mr.. Porter estimates that when Spain
evacuates the island the amount viii De
reduced 100000 or s20.0O0,000
The estimated expenditures for is9s-g9
are 26, 356 ,731 pesos; estimated receipts 26-
359,650 pesos.
The currency question Is fully gone into
the report saying: Although Cuba IS AL
fiicted with many kinds of Deprecated cur
rency. the established basis Is strictly
gold, and in any commercial engagement
the value Is understood 70 be IN gold. I'M
less specified to the contrary"

Death of AdOlph SutrO.

Adalph Sutro, whose name is
familiar to nearly every Nevadan,
died in San Francisco on the 7th of
this month. He had been i'll for
some time and his death was not
unexpected. By his death the Pa
cific Coast loses great friend.
Early in the eos Sutro came to Ne
vada poor young man,from Prus-
STA. He built a mill in Dayton and
owned residence and a bank here.
In 1869 he conceived the idea ofrun-
ing the Sutro Tunnel, and under
very adverse circumstances the
lack of funds and backing he be-
gan the work. 1t took some time
over eight years to build the tunnel
but Sutro made millions of dollars
from royalties after the work was
completed. Nevadans at that time
did not appreciate his work, and
after being defeated for the U. S.
Senate Sutro moved to San Fran
cisco, where he purchased real estate
and the Sutro Heights near Golden
Gate. He made beautiful place of
this, and still accumulated money.
At the time of his death he was 68
years of age, and he left PROPERTY in
San Francisco estimated to be worth
100000. Some years ago he was
elected Mayor of San Francisco
against the pull of all the corpor-
atoms and poll ticians in the city.
He was the friend of the poor man,
and old Nevadans who visited him
in San Francisco were always
royalty treated. Had he received a
little more encouragement from the
