Regarding Revenue Stamps.

Deputy Revenue Collector Sund-
strom, of Michigamme, answers the
following questions regarding the
new revenue law:
O Is a stamp required on GER
tificate of acknowledgment to a
deed, mortgage, bond, assignment of
mortgage, power of attorney, to sell
real estate, or other instrument re-
quired by the revenue law to be
stamped, where such instrument has
been stamped? Answer-No.
(2) Is stamp required on a cer-
tificate of acknowledgment, to a
deed where the consideration of the
deed is 800 or less? Answer-Yes;
ten cent stamp.
(3) Is stamp required on a cer-
tificate of acknowledgment to a
mortgage where the consideration
of the mortgage is 81 900 or less2
Answer-Yes; ten cent stamp.
az Is a stamp required on a GER
titicate of discharge of real estate
mortgage, and upon the certificate
of acknowledgment thereof, or on
certificate of satisfaction, on chattel
mortgage, or section of them? Ans
wer-Entry of satisfaction of mort
gage is not held to be certificate.
(o) Is stamp required on Ger
tificate of incorporation? Answer
Yes.
(6) Is stamp required on GER
tificate of justice of the peace GER
tifying transcript or other paper to
a higher court? Answer-Yes.
U Is stamp required on a cer-
titicate or return of service of sum.
mons, or other process? Answer
Return on summons or other court
process issued to sheriff is not a GER
tificate.
(S) Is stamp required on cer-
tificate issued at a city or county
tax sale? Answer-No.
(O Is stamp required on a cer-
tificate of election? Answer-No.
QW Is stamp required on cer-
titicate of probate of will? Answer
Yes.
QD Is a stamp required on a cer-
tificate of good moral character, re-
quired by one seeking admission to
the bar? Answer-No.
Q2) Is stamp required on a GER
tificate of sale issued by sheriff
under foreclosure by action, or an
execution, and on the acknowledge
ment thereto, or either of them?
Answer-This question is not under
stood. In case of a foreclosure of
mortgage 1t appears to the depart
ment that the document made by
the sheriff in the case would be u
return, and it is not understood how
there could be any acknowledgment
in connection with such return.
Q3) The same difficulty exists in
understanding this question. Sher-
iff usually makes a return of u sale
made by him under foreclosure, and
such return is not certificate as
prescribed by law.
QD Is stamp required on a
sheriff S deed? Answer-Yes.
QO Is stamp required on mar
riage certificate? Answer-It is
unless given for the purpose of the
state.
Q6) Are not all kinds Of certifi-
Gates required in judicial proceed
ings exempt from the provisions of
the revenue law? Answer-No.
The law specifically exempts those
under See. II 7only. Bonds required
in judicial proceedings are exempt.
90 Is stamp required on a
school order or check drawn by
treasurer of school? Answer--No.
QS) If a customer brings a bottle
into my store to be filled with wine
must put a stamp on bottle!
Answer-Yes.

ADDRESS TO CUBANS.
Senior kaso Indicates the Wisest
Policy to Be Followed. :
DECLARATION OF The UNITED STATES
spain Was to Be Made to Rslinqulsh Her
Sovereignty Over the Island ard the
Cubsns to He Placed In
Possession.

Santiago, Nov. 1.--Senor Bsrtolome
Maso, president Of the Cuban provi-
sional administrative council, has H.
sued an address 10 the delegates now
in attendance at the military assembly
at Santa Cruz del Sur, In which he re-
views the considerations upon which
the Cubans solicited the help Of the
United States and indicates their
wisest future policy. The address in
part is as follows:
The Cubans accepted the assistance Of Amer
lea although not knowing exactly what were
the American aims, Just US they would have
accepted help from any country In their light
against Spain As the contest progressed the
Cubans In the field were gratif I'd TO hear OF q
solemn declaration BY the United States con-
gress regarding the intentions Of the American
government and the path 1t would follow In tho
Spanish American war.
The Americans came to our help 10 compel
Spain to reinquish her sovereignty over Cuoa,
In order that the Cubans themselves might be
placed. as promptly as possible, In possession
OF the Island, might assume the administration
OF Its affairs and have government OF their
own. Therefore, the Cubans agreed to CO.
operate with the Americans TO obey the or
ders issued by American generals, and
to hslp In oil possible ways TO establish
Cuban government when the Americans
took possession. Though America did not
recognize the government OF the Cubans, II was
well understood that the Cubans would not, on
that account. abandon their organization. but
that, on the contrary. the time would come
when such recognition would be granted In
deed. 1t was asserted TO our Cuban representa-
tives by one Of the most distinguished men,
bers OF the United States government ind
also by the members Of the United States SEN
ate, that In order to do awav with any obsta-
Gle that might hinder the United States In go
Ing Into the fight for the cause OF Cuban indie
pendence, recognition of Cuban government
must come later
Nevertheless, II has not been possible to es-
tabish direct relations between the CUBAN and
American governments for the transa ti0n Of
the public business although the general char
acter Of our relations throughout the war was
friendly. But we have now reached time
when, even more than In the days Of Gghtiug
II Is incumbent upon all Cubans to show true
patriotism and while making every expression
OF gratitude to America for having given Cuba
freedom and independence. TO make prompt
arrangements for paying of the Cubans now In
arms and for getting the country into working

TWO METHODS COMPARED.
Significant Figures a. to Receipts Of the
Customs Duties ut Santiago During
October.

Washington, Nov Ia dispatch
from Santiago states that 800, 900 was
collected in customs duties during
the month of October This does not
appear to be large item in Itself,
but as 1t is at the rate Of $1,000, 900
at that port it is believed that the
restoration Of order and the develop.
ment of trade will increase the amount
to 81, 500, 900 per year. The significant
fact In connection with the matter is
the relation which this amount hears
to the collections by Spanish officials.
The amount they turned into the Span
ish treasury at Havana was $475,0OO
per annum. The methods OF American
officials, therefore, will produce many
times the net return to the treasury
which was afforded under Spanish mis-
rule.
