ADJUSTMENTS TO PAY.

of the bill is the tax on amusements'

fed. This tax holds good for a year,
so amusement managers may take out
their license at the beginning or the sea-
son. The vaudevilles Will probably COM

the 500 theatre-taX may not be exacteo
in this instance.
Sales and agreements to sell securities
Of any kind. promissory notes. foreign

taxation.

THE SlNEWS OF WAR
HOW TO DE PROVIDED UNDER NEW
REVENUE LAW.
STATEMENT BY COLLECTOR BRADY.
Every One VIII Have TO bear "a share
of the Taxes. Directly or Indirect
lion Dollars n Year.

Richmond will contribute very extern
slvely TO the sInews OF that war, now
being waged in the interest of suffering
Cuba" If there is anything left untaxed,
it has not yet been discovered, and rich
and poor alike will have TO bear the bur-
den, for taxes will have to be met
wherever one may turn.
Perhaps a million dollars would be a
very conservative estimate of the amount
poured from the business interests of this
city into the Unsuitable nav OF the wal
god. What the new law will mean to the
poor man in the way of indirect takation
can hardly be estimated, but each will
have his burden TO bear, and hat burden
will not be a light one. Many of the pro-
visions have already been enforced; the
others will go into effect at the beginning
of next month.
COLONEL BRADYS OFFICIAL STATE
MENT.
The following statement relative TO the
provisions of the new act was made by
Collector James d. Brady yesterday:
The act takes effect on jun II, 1898

cipal additions and changes made in the
new law are as follows:
An additional tax of 81 per barrel is i'm.
posed on fermented liquors, the increased
rate to take effect the day succeeding
the passage of the act. Brewers are al.
lowed 71-2 per cent. discount on stamps
purchased. The additional tax on fer
mented liquors, stored in warehouses, al
ready stamped. is to be assessed.

EXPEDITIONS INTO CUBA.
Successful Landing of Arms and Sup
plies for Insurgents.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Saturday,

raj interesting and daring expeditions
have been made into The enemy's coun-
try TO discover the actual condition CT
affairs in Santiago de Cuba. IL is not an
easy matter to get near the city these
days. About 5000 Spanish soldiers n
1900 home-guard troops cover every road
way about the place, and General Pando,
the Spanish military commander, Is very
active, although his operations are Limit
ed by the mountains surrounding the
place, which are full Of insurgents.
On Saturday a week ago, June 4th, the
converted light-house-boat Suwanee,
commanded by acknowledgements
Daniel Delehanty, arrived off Santiago
de cuba. She had on board about 10000
rounds Of ammunition, 500 rifles, 10000
carbines, 10000 machetes, and hundreds
OF pounds of bread. bacon, and other
provisions. With the aid Of a Cuban
pilot picked up by Commodore Schley,
She landed this stuff in two days, besides
taking an active part in the lombard
ment of the forts at Santiago de Cuba.
SUCCESSFUL LANDING.
The landing was effected about twelve
miles to the westward of Santiago, and
IN the presence of 500 insurgents. About
100 more insurgents were on guard in the
mountains and in the passes. The am
munition and food, with the arms, have
therefore put the insurgents in excel
lent shape to prevent the Spaniards from
| getting provisions from the outside
through the island. 1t is believed that
the arming OF a force Of insurgents has
assisted in cutting off one part OF the
Spanish army from another.
