WEST INDIES TRADE.
Government Alters Cuba and Porto
Rico Tariffs.

xblCO A8EIU9s
Washington, Sept. 9.-Some changes
in the Cuban and Porto Rican tariff
rates have been approved by the presi-
dent and cabled to the United States
officers In those islands. In the former
rates on both islands the importation of
oleomargarine and such products was
prohibited; under the new arrange
ments it will be admitted at the same
rate as butter.
Another change was made in the adj
ministrative features of the Cuban tar
If. There was provision that when
goods were brought in and not entered
for duty within 90 days the officer in
charge could seize and dispose Of them
at public sale. Under the new provis-
ions the 80 days may be extended to six
months, in the discretion of the officer
in charge.
The government is doing what il can
to facilitate the operations of trade in
the Cuban and Porto Rican ports that
come into the possession OF the United
States. The department has been adj

Cause Of tho Trouble.

London, Sept. 8.-Advices from
Canea we're received this morning from
a correspondent there, who also tele-
graphed that he feared for the safety OF
his colleague at Gambia, as he was UNI
able to communicate with him. The
fact that no dispatches were received
from Gambia after the bombardment be-
gan seemed to indicate that the situa.
tion there Is serious.
It has been known that the Mussul-
mans were disconnected at the joint
rule of the powers in Crete. This was
largely due to the fact that they were
confined in the towns, while the Chris
tians were allowed the liberty of the
island. But the rising of the Mussul-
mans was unexpected.
The Cretan fleet is under command
Of the French admiral. Potter, as the
senior officer, and consists of British,
French, Russian, Italian and Austrian
ships, Germany recently having with
drawn from participation in the joint
control or government of Crete. The
troops of the powers are divided among
the different towns. the British garri-
soning Gambia. The Mussulmans COM
plain they recently consented that the
Christians should be permitted to enter
the to IN on condition that the Mussul-
mans were allowed the freedom of the
country, and they further declare that
the representatives of the powers have
not fulfilled the latter part Of the bar
gain, and that while they we're confined
in the towns the Christians pillaged
their property in the country.
The British consul at Canea has
started for Gambia on board the British
battleship Camperdown.

Shown the Christians.

Gambia, Island of Crete, Sept. g.
Gambia is in state of anarchy. A COL
lision between the Mussulmans, who
were demonstrating against European
control. and the British authorities,
who have been installing Christians as
revenue clerks, eliminated today in
bloody fighting between the Mussul-
mans and the British troops Riots
took place in various parts Of the city,
and many have been killed.
When the outbreak was f1ercest, q
warship stationed In the harbor began
firing shells. with the result that a por-
ton Of the city is in flames. The
greatest confusion and uproar prevails,
and it is feared that the night will not
pass without further pillage and de-
etruction.
The trouble began with the attempt
of the British military authorities to
install Christian officials. They had
appointed council of internal control
to collect the 1.-THE revenues, and de-
taohment of soldiers was stationed out
side the office as precautlon. A
crowd of unarmed Mnssulmans at
tempted to force an entrance into the
office. The British soldiers fred and
wounded several. The Mussulnans
ran for their arms, and, returning. at
tackled the soldiers. Other Mussul-
mans spread rapidly through the Chris
tian quarter, shooting into windows
and setting many houses and shops on
fire.
1t Is reported that the British consul
has been killed. The Turkish COVER
nor has offered to help the British.

Ed. The INDEPENDENT
hope you will pardon my sug-
costing anything with regard to the
future operations of the U. S. gov
eminent in the islands; yet, under
the circumstances | think that, as a
kamaaina, should offer what little
knowledge | possess of the country
to be used, if needed by our future
government.
Why erect costly Notifications on
Oahu, when there are places on Ha-
wall where only few guns are need
ed to render the islands impreg-
nable?
The old heiau at Kawaihae is a
magnificent fort, and half dozen
13-inch guns mounted on its walls
would render the harbor OF Hawai-
haze impregnable.
Another advantage is that back of
Kawaihae, we can raise potatoes and
pumpkins in quantities sufficient for
an army of 100000 men, in time OF
siege, You know yourself what a
lot of beef we, always have on hand,
The following Of my suggestion
would save the U. S. government
perhaps 100000, and would give
results quite as startling as the cree
tion of Notifications on Oahu, would.
Apologising for taking so much
OF your valuable space,

U. S. The Council of State, which
will probably belong to the Sex"
class of the "Has Been" family Of
tropical productions should meet at

have certain powers during war,
pestilence and emergency. We have
the war with Spain; the dissatisfac-
ton of the faithful annexationists
who are not allowed to sing songs at
the flag raising, which is worse than a
pestilence; and the love Of money
and chronic distaste for work of
Dole, which is an emergency indeed.
Let the Council appropriate pen
sions for each member Of the Gov
eminent and for each of the pa
triots who hold seat in the Council
of State. Let US be broad aud re-

We are informed that the meat
condemned by our local inspectors
of food, which was sent TO the cold
stores here from the transport St.
Paul, was re-examined by three doc
tors from the army, acting under
orders of the lieutenant crtonel,
and that it was proclaimed sound
and re-shipped to the transport yes
sci, where it will be used oy the SOL
diers. 1t is OF course impossible for
an outsider to take sides ia Il differ
ence of opinion between three
physicians, who claim the meat is
good, aud two officials under the
Hawaiian Government, VIII, claim
it is bad. An insinuation has been
thrown out that the condemnation
OF the meat was due to the fact that
there was large amount o. b., IF on
the hands OF local firm which ex-
pected to make big profit by sell
ing it to the transport. We might
as well insinuate that the doctors
who approved Of the condition of
the meat in question, we're interest
ed ia having the original contract
ors protected, and therefore allowed
the condemned meat to be re-
shipped to the st. Paul. We do not
believe for a moment that there are
any proofs of corruption on the part
of army contractors or officials on
board the transports or in Honolulu.
There may have been an honest differ
ence OF opinion between the experts
called in to examine the meat, and as
a result OF their reports, the COM
handing officers may not have felt
justified in condemning his beef sup
ply. The final verdict in regard to
the condition of the meat will be
given through the reports of the
health of the boys who have to eat it.
