1t VIII Now Be Turned Into Uncle
Sans Treasury.

WASHINGTON. May BIN antlcipa-
ton of the early occupation or the Phil
ippine Islands by the military and naval
forces of the United States, the Treasury
Department has already begun the Tor
mutation of regulations and scheme or
customs tariffs which will be collected by
the military authorities and turned into
the Treasury of the United States as a
military contribution.
That the President has authority TO col
lect the Philippine revenues under exist
ing conditions is not matter OF doubt.
The tariff rates now being prepared oy
the Treasury Department will closely FOL
low the Spanish customs laws in force In
the Philippines. Just what revenue they
produced is not known, but the assump-
ton is that inasmuch as the home gov
eminent realized from them last year APP
proximately $9.0O0000. the actual amount
collected was 600, The government
will assume control of the revenues as
soon as the principal seaportS are in our
possession, and will continue 70 control
them at least until Congress takes spe-
cifc action in the case, or until peace mas
been declared between the two countries.
