SPANISH TROOPS IN CUBA.
About $4,000 Unable 10 Get Out by the
First OF January.

New York. Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: The
American and Spanish commissioners In
agreeing upon Jan. I as the day OF
Spanish evacuation OF Cuba took a pre-
cedent from the treaty Of peace entered
into 80 years ago between Mexico and
the United States. when an agreement
was made as to the date for the Ameri-
can occupation to cease. Then as now,
IL was known that all the troops could
not be embarked by the date agreed
upon. Theoretically the Spanish occu-
patton will cease by Jan. I, though Il is
believed that $4,000 troops win still re-
main In Cuba. These men will continue
to occupy their barracks until they
leave for the peninsula. IL was agreed
that all arms save those In position
shall be returned TO Spain. There yet
remains to be settled the right of Spain
to sell the bronze cannon and to pro-
vide for the pay for the public buildings
on the islands.
Colonel Hecker. who has heretofore
counseled delay. now thinks the time for
vigorous action has arrived. The wealth
er being settled. he would bring the
troops here at once. Stories are current
here In Spanish circles that the Cubans
at Marianao. In Pinar del Rio. and at
other camps are buying arms and am
munition for the purpose OF providing
for possible differences with the Ameri-
cans II Is stated that these arms are
being stored In secret hiding places
made by the American government. The
Cubans strongly deny the truth OF these
rumors and OF course they cannot be

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Anglo-Amer-
lean commission now I'm session here to
adjust the differences between the United
States and Canada. to-day held a lengthy
regarded as Of most importance. namely:
the North Atlantic fisheries and reciproci-
ty. The fisheries question was practically
taken up for the first time. and IL was
quite definitely understood that the posi-
tion of the Canadian government was
made clear as favoring granting enlarged
rights to American fishermen i'm Canadian
waters of the North Atlantic. IL I'm return
Canadian fish are admitted free of duty
to American markets. 1t Is expected that
this will open a wide range of discussion
and an Immediate adjustment is not look
ed for. Concerning reciprocity. II has now
developed that while some progress is
being made in considering certain arti-
cles which will be the basis of reciprocity.
yet the American commissioners are not
likely to insist. as a preliminary to any
reciprocity. that Canada shall wipe out
that feature of her tariff law which gives
Great Britain a preference of 25 per cent.
on all tariff duties. IL this complete con-
cession is made by Canada and conceded
by Lord Herschell. who is looking after
the interests of Great Britain. then. II is
said. a reciprocity list will probably be
agreed upon.
Without the abolition of preferential
rates TO Great Britain. the opinion is very
positively expressed that a reciprocity
agreement cannot be reached. The Amer
lean commission feel that II they can
succeed in having this British preferen-
tial stopped II will be greater than any
reciprocity agreement. The debate thus
far has encouraged the American commits
sioners to believe that they will succeed
In having this preferential wiped out.
The fisheries question is of long stand
ing. and aside from its Importance to the
commerce of the New England and Cana
dian coast. IL is said to give the basis for
possible serious conflict between this
country and Great Britain. wesried by
the length of the controversy. Canada of
late has intimated that I'm case IL remain
ed open recourse might be taken to the
seizure of American fishing vessels i'm Ca
madam waters. This would doubtless lead
TO serious International complications.
This has been the view OF the members
of the commission and as n result they
are exceedingly anxious TO secure a set
tlcment of this question. IL is understood
that there Is some likelihood of a commits
sion of American. Canadian and English
lawyers being appointed to determine the
meaning of the treaty of 1878. which gov
erns these fishery rights. The suggestion
of this international body has come, IL Is
said. from Lord Herschell. Such a body
appointed. II would do away with the
chance of any collision occurring between
the Canadian officials and American fish
ing vessels during the approaching fish
ing season.

BEER AND CHAMPAGNE.

Since the beginning of the present
war some revenue changes have been
rendered necessary: For instance,
French champagne is now admitted TO
this country free of duty and the tax
on American beer has been doubled.
This adjustment of revenue bur-
dens was made by the administratio
party in the interest of the masses,
the common people, the middle classes,
for whose protection" it has always
talked. For the great mass of Amer
leans are champagne drinkers, you
know, while beer, doubly taxed, is the
beverage of the rich.
The influence which controls national
legislation, which regulates the tariff
and internal revenue measures, which
defeated the provisions to tax in
comes, inheritances aud corporations,
which forced bond issue that was I'M
necessary, which emasculated the
proposition to coin the silver seignior-
age, is the same.
It is always trying to protect"
American industries, and so the prod
uct of American brewers is taxed twice
while the product of French wine
manufacturers is shipped here duty
free. 1t is the influence which has no
use for silver men, except to abuse or
tax them

HANNA'S HIRELINGS.

There has been a growing suspicion
in the minds of many people that
Mark Hanna is spending considerable
money on alleged Democratic papers
| of the east to induce them to turn
public attention from himself to Mr.
Bryan.
The Brooklyn Eagle, which went to
Mr.. Hanna's rescue in 1896, and evil
IDENTIFY lost no money by its desertion
of the Democratic organization, is still
looking to Mr.. Hanna for it's cue and
his moral support
1t is for the purpose of concealing
Marks work, of palliating his crime,
of turning the argus eye of the public
away from him, that certain organs,
which, two years ago, Mark found he
could control, are now mdligning Mr..
Bryan, whose only offense is his
popularity and the fact that he repre-
sents the financial views of half the
American people.
Partisan intolerance actuates the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, the Chicago
Times Herald, the Omaha Bee, and
other administration organs of that
type, in their daily libels of the
Nebraska volunteer, but the Brooklyn
Eagle and Pittsburg Dispatch must
get something out of it besides mere
partisan satisfaction And Mr. Hanna
is able to pay for what he needs.
Now, it isn't every Republican paper,
that sells its space to the great boodler
who stands convicted .of bribery in
Ohio. and in public opinion elsewhere,
or gives way to expressions of petty
spite. The Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican says:
There does not appear TO be much
political capital seeking in all this. To
one IL Mr.. Brvan's position it. was a
choice either OF keeping perfectly still
and being accused of lukeWarmnesse or
hostility to the war, or of speaking out
or rendering his services, and being
consequently accused of harboring
ulteriors ard selfish notes. AS he
had al along favored Intervention in 4
the case of Cuba. he'was heartily IN
sympathy with the course of the gov
ernment, and said so, and judged it no
more than right, as a good citizen, in
z position of political leadership, to ser
