SANTIAGO CUSTOMS.
Tariff For Our New Port Signed by the
President and Now In Force.

Tariff For Our New Port Signed by the
President and Now In Force.
WASHINGTON. July 19.-The United
States will take immediate steps TO coll
lect the customs revenues at Santiago
as a war contribution
The tariff was signed by President
Mckinley after a brief conference late
yesterday afternoon with Secretaries
Gage and Alger. The instructions were
at once cabled to the authorities in
charge of Santiago by Secretary Alger,
SO that the tariff could be put In force
this morning. The new tariff abolishes
the dlscriminative tariff now in opera
tion there. the rates for different coun-
tries at Cuban ports varying This coun-
try took as It's basis the rates accorded
the products of Spain and applies them
to all countries. not even excepting the
United States. The most important
change effected is a reduction OF the
tonnage duty on ships carrying 1000
tons or more which go in and out Of the
port from the present rate of 81 a ton
to a rate of 20 cents a ton. This old
prohibitve tonnage tax under the Span
sh custom has been additional TO the
customs duties. In contrast TO the 20
cent rate declared for Santiago is our
own tonnage of cents and that of most
of the other countries Of three or four
times that much. The heavy export duty
on tobacco and certain other Cuban
products and the cent export tax on
iron are retained, for awhile at least.

eral Rosser. Second Ohio. First Penn
sylvania and Fourteenth Minnesota.
The part which the navy is to take in
the assault against Porto Rico has been
fully matured. The several transport
fleets viii have with them one or two
auxiliary craft carrying strong sec
ondary batteries OF six or eight 6
Founders. Secretary Long said yester-
day afternoon that no time had been
fixed for the departure Of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet for San Juan. As To the
naval plans he would only say that
they would cooperate I'm every way
with the movements Of the army. The
report that three monitors were on
their way from Key West TO San Juan
was characterized by the secretary as
Unauthorized. 1t is the general un-
derstandng however. that the navy
will rely mainly on armored ships for
the bombardment Of San Juan. as the
big battleships and monitors afford the
best means OF offensive warfare, while
their armor belts protect them from
such fire as the San Juan batteries can
bring to bear The fortihcatiOns there
are much like those Of Santiago. with
a Moro Castle at the entrance of the
HUIDOI ana II HuIIlNEI vi lEr1tA ANl Aiii~
cations leading up TO the city. These,
however. are viewed with less awe since
an examination Of the MORO batteries
at Santiago has shown them TO be an
tiquated and capable Of little effective
resistance.
The movement Of the ships from San
tiago 10 their new fields Of action will
begin at once, and Il Is probable that
some OF Admiral SIMPSONS ships win
be detached Immediately and proceed
with General Miles first expedition to-
ward Porto Rico. They viii be needed
TO cover the debarlation Of the troops
on the Porto RiCan coast. The others
Will follow as soon as the full army ex-
Dedition Is ready TO make landing,
when the attack will begin simultane-
ously on land and sea.
IL has been finally decided that none
OF the troops that participated in the
actual fighting before Santiago shall be
employed on the Porto Rican eXpedi-
tion. There are two reasons for this.
First, the men have suffered severely
from hardships. the climate and from
fevers. and are entitled TO rest; Sec
ond II IS deemed 10 be very bad prac-
tlce to allow the soldiers who have been
IA KIttu AW FNlANM AtNEl W lE UANnHMN III
contact with those fresh from the Unit
ed States. There is also still another
reason. a purely military one. Ten
thousand Spanish troops are at Hol-
guin, Manzanillo and other points with
I'm striking distance of Santiago and
might not lose an opportunity TO recov-
er the ground lost al Santiago IL the
place were left insuhiciently protected.
Therefore Skaters entire army is apt
to be kept on guard on the high hills in
the rear OF the town until the men have
stamped out the yellow fever. Then
they win take a turn at the Spaniards
II they can be found, and IT may be that
Skaters march win end at Havana.
He viii work as far from his base as
possible after his army is thoroughly
refreshed, hunting the enemy wherever
they are liable to be found.

Tho Enstern snnndrnn.

WASHINGTON. July 19-secretary
Long said yesterday that no apprehen-
sion whatever existed over the Spanish
threat that the Camara squadron would
be divided, part of the ships coming to
this side TO attack American seaport
cities. This Is looked upon as sheer
bluff. and It will not have the effect OF
changing any Of the navy plans or of
Withdrawing any ships for service on
the Atlantic coast. Should the Spanish
threat be made good ships more than a
match for any of Camara's vessels
would be available at any Atlantic port
on short notice. No time has been set
for the departure Of Commodore Wat
sons squadron for Spain, although this
move also is drawing near rapidly. Sec
retary Long said yesterday that report
ed new lists of the ships of this squad
ron were inaccurate, as the list had not
been finally made up.
