WASHINGTON. July 20-The Cabinet
yesterday discussed the situation I'm Gu
ba, especially as it relates 20 the civil
and economical administration Of affairs.
IL was decided TO etexnd 10 all Cuban
ports generally, as fast as they should
come into our possession, the policy agreed
upon for Santiago. and after adjournment
Acting Secretary Spaulding OF the Treas
ury. telegraphed instructions 20 coilec-
tors on the Atlantic coast allowing them
TO clear American or neutral vessels
with supplies and provisions for Guanta-
namo or other ports in Spanish territory
I'm possession of the military or naval
forces OF the United States.
The department is not little stirred
I'D over the multiplicity OF questions
suddenly confronting II for discussion
and determination. one OF them, In con-
nection with the enforcement OF the GUS
toms laws. Is that Of tonnage tax. Spain
some time ago abolished dues upon the
tonnage OF vessels and substituted for
them a tax OF 81 n ton Oh all cargo load
ed or delivered at any port. Exceptions
were made I'm favor OF coal, which paid
no tax. and Of iron ore which paid only
cents a ton.
The department has revived the ton
mage tax. fixing IL at twenty cents a ton
on the registered net tonnage OF the veS-
sells, to DE paid upon entering the har-
Dor. The determinations in favor or
coal and iron ore Will be retained. w.
A. Donaldson. a clerk 10 the naval officer

Assistant Secretary Howell as the expert

He reported to-day for instructions. and
will Depart for his new post OF duty at

The department has sent 20 the Phillip
pines I'm the same capacity Mr.. Joseph
Ivans. for many years special agent IN
