giving the substance Of the neutrality
decree gazetted there to-day. and said it
was evidently accurate and covered the
entire subject. He had not, however. to
a late hour to-day, received an official
notifications of the neutrality decree.
The Viscount says that article ,, which
permits belligerents to make short stop
at Portuguese ports, probably will be
better understood by saying that bellig-
erents will not be permitted TO make long
stays ut Portuguese ports.
The British and French Ambassadors
here have received instructions relative
TO the tonnage tax provision in the war
tariff bill, which passed the House Of
Representatives to-day. 1t is understood
that the German Ambassador will also
receive instructions on the same subject.
The nature of the instructions is not dis
closed, but it doubtless relates to joint
representations against the severity of
the new tonnage tax Leading diplomats
are hopeful that their representations
Will lead to modification of the clause
before the new tariff bill becomes law
as otherwise they feel that the tonnage
dues will be so burdensome on British,
French and German shipping as to cause
il to seek Canadian and Mexican ports
Aside from the expected official repre-
scntations of the foreign governments,
the shipping interests in London, Havre
and Bremen, and other ports are supple
menting the diplomatic negotiations with
strong representations against the in
creased tonnage rates.
The Republic of Hayti is expected to
maintain strict neutrality as between the
United States and Spain, and it is said
that reports of exceptional privileges
given to the United States warships in
Haytian waters, are erroneous. The
Haytian Minister, Mr.. Legare, said to-
day that he has received no official in
structions concerning neutrality, but he
had no doubt an attitude of impartial
neutrality will be maintained.

Mr.. Balfour is being sharply criti-
