CUBA IS OVERTAXED
Industrial Revival Depends Upon
Reduction In Duties.
SCARCITY OF MONEY
VERY LITTLE AMERICAN CUR
RENCY IN CIRCULATION.
And Spanish Coin Is No Longer a
Legal Tender-Important Cues
lions Presented to Mr.. Porter By
the Santiago Chamber of Com
merce-Evacuation of Havana.

Santiago de Cuba Dec. 2.-Robert P.
Porter, United States special commits
sioner to Cuba and Puerto Rico to study
the economic conditions in both islands.
had a long interview today with General
Leonard Wood who afterwards gave him
offices at the palace.
This afternoon committee of the cham
Der of commerce waited upon Mr.. Porter
and presented memorial on a problem
of paramount Importance, imperatively
demanding the attention of the govern
nent. According to the memorial, the
financial situation of the country and its
very economic life depends upon a reduc-
ton of duties. Sugar production, for in
stance, has suffered a severe blow dur
ing recent years, falling from 100000
tons in 1884 to 100000 tons in 1897.
The chamber recommends freedom from
all taxes for a reasonable number Of
years. the abolition of duties on ma
chinery, and free admission to the mar
ketS of the United States.
The chamber requests, too, an extension
of the privileges granted by Spain in the
Cuban mining industry for an additional
ten years, expiring in 1919, owing to the
fact that the warfare during the last
three years has seriously injured the min
ing industry.
The chamber considers that many things
are greatly oVer-charged under the exist
ing tariff conditions and others greatly
benefited. Among the former are petro-
leum and other refined mineral oils and
the memorial asks a reduction to cents
a gallon. The chamber also asks the en-
tire suppression of export duties, with a
view to the Development of Cuban indus
tries. and the abolition of the duty on
passengers arriving in the island.
The memorialists, pointing out their I'M
derstanding that American currency is
obligatory tender in all transactions that
take place in the territory under Ameri-
can control, characterize this regulation
as premature, because the political sit
uation in Cuba is not yet settled, and
there is a lack of American currency to
meet all transactions. These objections
are independent of the fact that such a
regulation must depreciate the Spanish
gold in circulation. thus being prejudicial
to the public wealth and commercial in
terests. If however, this regulation is
to be enforced. the chamber of commerce
to send enough silver fractional currency
TO pay the army of occupation, thus
bringing small coins into circulation.

Why the Secretary Approved the
Uintah Asphaltum Lease.
PROTEST FROM RAWLINS
UTAH SENATOR'S ARGUMENTS
WERE WITHOUT EFFECT.
Secretary of the Interior Explained
That He Had Promised the Syndi-
cate That He Would Sign the
Lease-The Senator Has No Hope
of Defeating It.
rspeelal- 10 The Herald.l

Washington, d.. c.. Dec. 1.-Senator
Rawlins called on the commissioner OF
Indian affairs and the secretary of the
interior this afternoon. and presented
arguments in opposition to the "Raven
Mining company's elaterite lease. The
secretary had withheld his final Of
fetal approval Of the lease IL order to
hear Senator Rawlins arguments, as
the senator had requested by tele-
graph. But, although he had extended
this courtesy to the senator, he gave
him no encourag cement that he would
reverse his decision.
The secretary said he had practically
promised the friends of the company
that he would sign the lease, some time
ago.
Senator Rawlins said tonight that he
had 70 hope that the continuation of
the lease could be defeated.
Secretary Bliss today signed lease
with the Raven Mining company. Civ

p GENERAL SHAFTER ANNOYED.
But Does Not Care to Reply to Ad-
miral Sampson.

New York, Dec. General w. R.
Shafter was today shown a copy of
Admiral SIMPSONS report on the oper-
ations of the United States fleet at San
tiago after the destruction of the Span
ish het, in which the admiral de-
nounced as false the suggestion, which
he attributed to General Shafter, that
the navy was unwilling to cooperate
in forcing an entrance to the harbor
and intimated that the services of the
navy were not properly recognized by
the commanders of the land forces.
General Shafter did not conceal the
fact that Admiral SIMPSONS criticisms
annoyed him greatly, but he declined to
go into any extended reply to them.
This controversy sad been fought
over before" he said. "The records
speak for themselves. My letters and
dispatches to Admiral Sampson, as
given in his report, tell the story. I
have nothing to add to them"
The general went over the newspaper
synopsis of the admiraPs report and
pointed out that the correspondence
given therein showed that he had re-
quested Admiral Sampson to send a
representative to the ceremonies of the
surrender Of Santiago and that he did
not sign the terms of surrender him
self.
"As 1 did not sign them, I certainly
would not consent for Admiral Samp-
son to do So" he said.

One Hundred and Fifty Lost With the
Portland.
MORE BODIES ASHORE
BUT ONLY FIVE HAVE
BEEN RECOVERED.
Distressed Relatives of Victims Flock
to the Scene of the Wreck-Un-
likely That Many More Bodies
Will Be Found-Exact Number
Lost Will Never Be Known.

ProVidencetoWn, Mass, Dec. An
other day has passed and the mystery
of the steamer Portland has not been
given up by the sea. 1t was day Of
constant watching of more than thirty
miles of coast line and the sea grudg-
ingly held its victims, yielding only
five. Twenty-Five bodies have been re-
covered out of the entire passenger and
crew list, the exact number OF Whcn IS
still unknown. The number of people
who went to their death in the Port
land will never be known, but almost
hourly persons are reported missing
from different places in New England,
until now it seems possible that the
number was over $50. Of the bodies re-
covered hereabouts, thirteen have been
identified and eight remain to be
named.
The Identified are: E. Dudley Free
man, Yarmouth, Me-; George w. De-
laney, Shawmut avenue, Boston; Miss
Jennie c. Edmunds, East Boston; Mrs.
Cornelia Mitchell, Moth Easton; Miss
Madge Ingraham, colored, Woodford,
Me-; George Graham, colored porter
steamer Portland; deck hand steamer
Portland, name unknown; Jones,
second cook, identified by Agent Will
Jams; Solomon Cohen junk dealer,
Portland, Me-; Miss Elizabeth M. Col
Inns, Portland, Me-; Susan F. Kelley,
Boston; Walter F. Bemis. Auburn, Me.
One of the five bodies recovered today
was found at Nauset some twenty-five
miles from the place near which 1t is
believed the wreck occurred; another
came ashore at Orleans some four or
five miles further south and three at
Chatham.
Old seamen say that the majority of
the bodies which will be found here
have already come ashore. The rest, 1t
is believed by the experienced, have
been carried far south and lost in
Nantucket Sound, or scattered so wide
~ that there is little hope that they
will ever be recovered. Moreover, the
belief that many bodies are still within
the hull of the steamer seems to be
growing. This theory is held by SO
many persons that it is likely that tugs
will be sent out to patrol the section
of sea which has been fixed upon as the
probable scene of the wreck, in an
endeavor to locate the hull, as we'll as
to secure everything that may be found
afloat from her, including bodies, bag
gage, cargo, etc.
The train from Boston today brought
down over fifty relatives or friends OF
the lost ones.

Louis Marx. special commissioner of the
Cuban tobacco manufacturers at Wash
ington, that the United States government
will place a prohibitive import duty on
leaf tobacco imported into the islands of
50 per pound and of $3.50 plus % per cent
on cigars. The export duties are 10 re-
main as heretofore. $3.50 per 100 kilOs on
leaf tobacco and $1.35 per 900 on cigars.
Although hopes had been entertained
that export duties would be abolished en-
tirely. the announcement that prohibitlve
duties will be placed on tobacco imported
into the island has been received with
jubilation by manufacturers and export
ers. as guaranteeing the survival and de-
velOpment of the tobacco industry in
Cuba, which otherwise would have been
threatened with extinction.

LADY NOT A BLACNMAILER
EXPLAINS HER CONNECTION
WITH GOULD CLAIMANTS.
Declares She Had No Intention of
Matchmaking the Heirs-Tried to
Establish Relationship.

Albany, n. z, Dec. 1.-The third
days trial Of Mrs. Margaret Cody for
the alleged Matchmaking of the heirs
OF the Jay Gould estate was devoted
almost exclusively to the examination
and cross examination of the defend
ant, who was placed on the stand, af-
ter two unimportant witnesses were ex-
amined this morning and her counsel
had opened their side of the case. Her
cross-examination was not concluded
when the court adjourned this after
noon. In response to questions from
her attorney, Mr. Dugan, Mrs. Cody
told d STRAIGHTFORWARD story as to her
connection with Mrs. Angels case.
Mrs. Cody said that her first atten-
ton was called to the case by an in
terView in the Rocky Mountain News
OF Denver, in December 1894 with Mr..
Pierce, in which the latter was quoted
as saying that his wife, Mrs. Angels
daughter, was the daughter Of the late
Jay Gould, who had deserted his first
wife She had on several occasions
been employed to look up relationships
and family trees and the like, and
when she saw this item in the paper
she began a correspondence with Mrs.
Pierce concerning the matter, and eight
months later visited Mrs. Angel at
Rouse S Point, and after talking the
matter over with her, she agreed to
try and establish the proof of relation
ship of the latter TO Jay Gould. The
matter was then advertised in the pa
pers and later Mr.. Speer called on
her and asked her if she would come TO
Albany to see his cousin, William Nc
Murtie Speer. McEIurtie Speer called
in person the next day and later he
called with EIr. Amasa Parker, jr., of
this city, and they entered into a con-
tract to act as attorneys for Mrs. Cody.
She was to do the work to secure the
proofs Of the marriage. She then told
Of her hunt for this proof. and several
letters We're read by her counsel from
different persons who claimed to have
knowledge OF the marriage. The aft
davit of Mary Ann Shields, Of Cham
plain, was read, in which the deponent
swore that in April. 1858, she saw Rev.
AIr. Lawton marry Jay Gould to Mrs.
Angel.
Shortly after this she was not pleased
with the inactivity OF the firm, severed
her connection with them and en-
pl9yed another law firm of this city.
IN. explaining the letters on which
she was inGlcted for blacklnail, she
said that she had no intention OF black
mailing the Gould heirs and that she
wrote the letters in the interests of her
clients and not herself.
The case viii probably be presented
TO the jury late tomorrow.
