been obliged to abandon the proposed en-
largeTnent of the four monitors recently
contracted for into double turreted moni-
tors. After hearing from the various bid
ders who received contracts for these mont

fixed by Congress would not permit the con-

plans. with changes providing for the
lengthening of the bulls twenty-seven feet,
the increase of the coal capacity to 400
tons and the reduction of the speed half a
knot an hour. The bureau .hfafs' recon-.

Havana, Dec. S.-The statue OF 15a-
bel la Catolica, which stands in the
middle of Central park, in this city,
was found holding a valise in one
hand and steamer rug in the other.
An immense pIacard was strung
acoss the back of the statue with the
words Bon Voyage" inscribed on it
Serious problems confront the last
days of Spain's sovereignty in Cuba.
One of the most delicate and most diff
cult of solution is the question of re-
turn bonds given by civil officials and
employees upon seaslng to hold office,
Many of these are cash bonds fur
utshed years ago, the refuuding Of
which now becomes imperative. All
such moneys baVtns- been appointed
and spent, the government is unable to
meet these obligations or to fulfm the
guarantees.
The settlement of the arrears of pay
due the mcbilized and all the irreg-
ular troops afford brilliant oppor-
tunity for masterly ffnancierfng on the
part OF the military intendante. With
money in hand for a full settlement of
all pay due the troops the quartermas-
ter general devised an ingenius plan.
Paying the men of In notes, payable
in Madrid. he offered, through trusted
agents TO discount such notes at 20 or
80 per cent for cash. As practically
every one of the irregular and mobil-
lied troops will remain on the island,
the men eagerly embraced this oppor-
tunity to have their notes cashed, and
handsome profit therefore accrued to
the astute originator of the scheme.
The first mortgages held by the
Spanish bank on municipal property
here amount to S6.000,0O0. PROPOSE
tions for the acquisition of these mort
cages have been made by London,
New York and Berlin bankers. AL
though the mortgased property repre-
sents a most sclid investment the
Spanish bank appears ready to trans
fer the title to the foreign corpora
tions, through a lack of confidence in
the stability of the future government.
Several disturbances occurred here
between a number of Spaniards and
Cubans, but luckily there was no seri-
Gus consequence.
At p. m. several Cuban officers
who were walking down Obispo street
asked each other, in tones louder than
necessary, when the Spaniards were
to finally leave Cuba, and commented
on what they termed the latter's want
of shame in paradfng the streets at
tired in their uniforms. A couple of
Spanish of .ers who chanced to pess
overheard the conversation of the Gu
bans. and one of the Spaniards ap-
preached and slapped the face of a
member of the Cuban party. Blows
were exchanged, but the fighters were
soon arrested and taken to the military
governors palace. where they were
subsequently discharged.
A repetition OF this incident occurred.
in the evening, when Spanish omcer
in Central park tore Panama hat of

Tariff on Lumber.

One of the Quebec commission
ers is quoted as saying that the
lumber merchants of Michigan
have consented to reduction of the
tariff on lumber-that is, they will
not object to the tariff laws being
so nmenaea. Tue commissioners
may or may not have been correctly
reported, lout me prooaSiIlNy rs Mat
he Vas.
Large bodies move slowly, and
the brain of the Michigan lumber
man is extensive. For many years
he has managed to have his timber
protected by tariff of the most
prohibitive sort. Like his fellow
monopolists, the salt and copper
producers, he has been the protege
of every Republican Congress since
the war. These three favored in
dustries-lumber, salt and copper
have basked in the arms of pro-
lection, waxing exceedingly fat the
while.
The lumberman's change of heart
is prompted by a change of his
tariff views which in turn were due
to change in conditions. Michi-
gan no longer is the lumber center
it was. 1t has been turning out
millions of feet annually, till the
lower peninsula as far as the straits
is fairly thinned out. So the lum-
herman goes to Canada for his logs
and, until recent act of the Cana
dian government prohibiting it,
has been hauling them to this side
of the border and saving them in
to lumber.
No longer able to do this without
paying the tariff duty, the Michi-
gan lumberman is now convinced
that the tariff should be removed.
1t was an object lesson in tariff
economy that, appealing to his
pocketbook, proved more convino-
ing than all the free-trade books
