Harder Time. in Cub. Now.

Havana, April 1T.-Advices received
here from MantanZas say there was
much alarm in the city yesterday, ow-
Ing to new tax on provisions. The
stores We're all closed and the bakers
were not working. There was no bread
In town. In addition there was scare
ity Of other food of all descriptions
This aroused the people, and groups of
the inhabitants paraded the streets
shouting against the tax. The police
eventually interfered, charged the riot
ers and made several arrests among
the merchants of the town.
In Havana the value of Spanish mon
ey Is going down and the prices of pro-
visions are going up. There is more
and more anxiety felt to know the re-
suit of the crisis. Business is slow and
the state of uncertainty causes depres-
sion among all classes. Everybody
here seems eager for quick solution
OF the question one way or the other.

thusiastic gold man of this administra-
non thinks seriously of issuing gold

Under no possible circumstances would
that sort of thing be agreed to-"
THE silver men who have given this
subject careful consideration. are un.
able to see why there should be any
issue at all, and in light of their pre-
ent information l am pretty sure Il
would be safe to predict that they
would never give their consent.
FIRST thing that would be done
would be n revision of the tariff laws
and the imposition OF additional inter
nal revenue taxes for war purposes. In
times of war people will not object to
that. but they would endure the bur-
uens under such circumstances with
out complaining.
we should put additional tax OF 81
ON beer and tax Of ten cents pound
on tea and three or four cents pound
on coffee. We could impose n tax in
conformity with the recent decision OF
me Supreme Court and place n tax on
bank checks and deeds and negotiable
instruments. Through this plan, OK

sion require. 1t would be nm easy
matter to raise Sl50.O0O.00O II year.
III this should not be sufficient to
prosecute the war and keep up the
revenues. there would still be no use of
issuing bonds and am sure the prop
osition would be objected to- Bonds
carry interest, and the debt could be
met with non-lnterest bearing obli-
| cations.
Silver men would favor the issue Of
treasury certificates. redeemnble In
coin at the pleasure Of the government.
These would be an obligation. just as
bonds would be. they would not draw
interest and the government could float
them just as easily and get all the
money II needs. II issued i'm denomi-
nations small enough. these certificates

And the Outcome of the Trial Is Very
Doubtful.
A gentleman who has Just returned
from Madison parish. Louisiana. tells
OF an amusing and interesting murder
trial recently heard before the circuit
court at Talulla. 1t seems that a
negro minister of the Baptist faith was
murdered some time ago by one OF his
race at church fair or festival. says
the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. The
preacher was well liked by the breth-
rem and sisters of the church in the
neighborhood and they have raised a
fund of nearly $500 with which to
prosecute the murderer. Not to be out
done. the white folks Of the community
Immediately raised sum equally large
with which to defend the negro. The
fight is now in progress. The array
OF legal talent is going at II hammer
and tongs and the whole parish is in
terested in the outcome. There are
only seven Witnesses to be examined,
but fully 1000 negroes are present to
listen to the evidence. One OF the most
curious things about the whole affair
is the jury. 1t took the sheriff nearly
two weeks to find twelve men, tried
and true" who had not formed an
opinion on the case. Finally he scraped
together nine negroes and three sorry
looking white men, who rather re-
luctantly agreed TO render verdict
according to law and evidence Scare

when IT was announced that the white
men were firm for acquittal and the
negroes had sworn to convict or bust
