DYING IN HAVANA STREETS.

Out SuuDlies.

A private letter from an American citizen
commission in Havana says that a very
serious condition exists in Havana by rea-
son of lack of food. People are starving,
some dying on the streets, and many others
who are unable to go out and beg die in
the houses. There is a great number of this
latter class. While this was going on the

Nothing has been heard from the Cuban
military commission indicating that the
American commissioners are delaying a
meeting, as reported in Havana ca able In
formation of a private character received
at the department indicates that the delay
comes from the Spanish, and not from the
Americans. Upon the whole however, it
seems that the negotiations are progressing
rather satisfactorily.

PRODUCTS to us and pay our duty charges
and sell them If they can; and if our man.
ufacturers want to sell them finished pro-
ducts. let them send them to the islands
and comply with their tariff reguia tion:;
and sell them if they can, and each coun-
try Will be on its own base. American pro-
ducts will then have simply an equal
chance with the rest of the world This IS
all they want. Where they have that
chance they have no difficulty in claiming
their full share of trade.
The whole question resolves itself into
two propositions: Our people are not going
to allow Philippine products to make in
roads into our own productions and indus
tries by special privilege which other
countries do not enjoy. We are not going
to demand for our manufacturers special
tariff privileges in the Philippines not
granted to other countries, whereby Amer
lean merchants can food their markets
with goods and at the expense of their rev.
enue receipts. thus throwing the expense
of their government upon our taxpayers.
We do not want to derive any revenue from
taxes laid upon them; their taxes must be
for their own government and benefit. and
we will not allow them to tax our people 20
help administer their government"
