THE SITUATION AT HAVANA.
Information Received at the State
Department.

Such information as the State Depart
ment' has received as to the situation at
Havana is confirmatory Of the unofficial
dispatches and shows that quiet reigns in
the city and that the impression of the
officials here that the riotoUs spirit had
either exhausted itself for the time being
or had been completely suppressed by the
strong hand of authority is justified. The
situation was briefly alluded to in the
cabinet meeting today. and was not re-
garded as warranting any change in the
attitude of our government in any respect.
Minister De LONE has written the State
Department denying the Truth of the re-
port that the customs officers of Havana
have thrown obstacles in the way of land
ing the supplies sent from the United
States for the Cuban sufferers. The State
Department is satisfied that regardless OF
any difficulty that may have been expert
enced, there will be no trouble hereafter
in promptly placing in General Lees pos
session for immediate distribution any sup
plies that reach Havana harbor in the reg
ular manner

mittee.
Boston, March 9.-The committee on
taxation continued its hearing at the
state house this morning in the matter
of the recommendations contained in
the majority report of the taxation
commission.
William B. Durant presented a bill
in a line with the carrying out of the
scheme suggested by the majority re-
port, for the equalization of tax bur-
dens.''
H. G. Otis, chairman Of the board of
assessors of Worcester, was opposed to
the bill and the conclusions of the tax
commission. He was sure the expenses
of the counties would be larger if the
state pays the county tax, than other
wise. He also objected to it because,
in his opinion, the proposed measure
was not proportional. In the main, his
objection was based on his idea that
the tax money should go where the
property was located In the proposed
measure, that money would go where
the property is not located.

Massachusetts Grange, was against the
