CUBA's NEW TARIFF.
WILL BE MUCH LOWER.
vtfty Per Cs.s u.s Besa Stolen Bersto-
fore By Ome,sis- Expected to Raise
10000, 900

The new Cuban tariff has been care
fully prepared. and now lies on the
Presidents table awaiting his approx
al 1t IL intended to have II go into ef-
feet at Santiago. Manxanilo, Nuevitas
and Mariana on December LIST. and nj
the other Cuban ports as rapidly as
they come into possession Of the
United States authorities.
h The President and all his advisers
believe that In the present commercial
and financial condition OF Cuba II Is
advisable TO make the customs duties
as low as Is consistent with the revenue
Requirements of the government, and
Ethey will average % per cent. upon
what may be termed the necessnries
\ Of life. Luxuriss Will carry IL higher

sistant Secretary Howell OF the Treas
ury Department, who has charge of
such matters, has taken the third. or
lowest, column of the Spanish tariff
aS his guide. In some cases duties
have been advanced. In others they
have been reduced. but the aggregate
receipts will be about one-third OF the
amount Of revenue reported by the
Spanish officials. 1t Is estimated that
1t least sd per cent of the collections

and therefore the people of Cuba will
nave to pay about one-fifth AS much
as they have been In the habit of pay
ing in this form of taxation under the
Jew government
The new tariff schedules have been
based upon necessary revenue Of
no, 100000 year Cuba needs every
thing In the way of public improve
ents. The policy of Spain has pro-
fbited the expenditure Of n dollar for
he benefit of the people. Clean cities.
roads and school houses are needed
nore than anything else. The build
0ngs occupied by the government are
20 or 300 years old. but answer the
purpose very well. and need not be re-
oewed. The nominal revenues have
been about S3O.0OO.OOO. but every dol
lar that has been turned into the treas
ury has been required TO pay the in
tnrest on the Cuban debt, while the
Internal taxes have been absorbed In
the payment OF large salaries to an
army of officials sent over from Spain.
The new government will have no
0ebt and no interest charges, and will
A erefOre be able to devote Its entire
avenues to the betterment Of the ma
terial conditions Of the island. The
Nrst thing to be done will be to clean
tie cities and introduce modern sani-
Try methods. simultaneously with
his a free public school system will

FAsT-FLYINo BIRDS.

There is every probability that In
the course OF the next few years we
shall know with certainty the limits Of
birds speed upon the wing and the
rate at which the different species can
travel in different forms Of flight. The
revival of pigeon-hying has. as might
be expected. given the first reliable set
q facts. A number of "homers" were
let loose at Lerwick, in the Shetland
islands, at $3.50 a. M, just a week after
the longest day Of the year. and one
bird made the journey to London. or.
more accurately, to Stanmore, near
Harrow. in is hours So minutes. The
distance Travelled was 519h miles and
the speed thirty-seven miles per hou:.
The flight of the lark is SO various
that Il illustrates the inutility of talk
ing in general terms about the speed"
Of birds. 1t has one kind OF flight for
soaring. another for playing in the
air with its mate-a very rapid flight
indeed-and a third used when mi
grating. On Oct. thousands of NIL
grating larks were flying from west to
east parallel with the line OF railroad
across Denmark from Silkerborg to
Skjen. A train ran at the rate Of AZ
teen miles an hour. including stop
pages, which were frequent. but It's ut
most rate was not more than twenty
five miles an hour. Yet 1t passed the
larks.
Recent estimates of the speed OF mi
grafton flights have been curiously in
nated by an idea Of one OF the most
conscientious Of observers. the late DR..
0atke, and the wide popularity Of his
flfty years record OF bird migration
watched from Heligoland gave wide
currency to his views. They assigned
\ rate Of speed to birds when migrat-
ing which on any ground but that OF
actual observation was quite incredi-
bic. The two test cases were that Of
the gray crow. which he estimated at
1os geographical miles an hour. and
that OF the small blue-throated war
bier, to which he gave an even higher
rate Of progression.
Some birds cannot dy slowly. These
include nearly all the ducks. Widgeon,
teal. mallard. pochards. scaups and
ong-tailed ducks always fly full bat"
But then they. when crossing the sea.
can always pitch on the water when
tired out. There is another class of
birds which usually fly at q great pace.
though they can and do ease or
when they like. These are all those
speedy, sickle-winged birds like golden
plover, stints, knots. godwits and other
shore fowl. One often sees golden
plover migrating and their speed Is
very great. Green plover. on the other
hand, ny slowly.
