AT THE THEATER

THE BURBANK.-The fun and folly
contained in a neat little comedy in three
acts played last night by the Henderson
company under the title of "Our Regiment .
kept the audience continually amused. Mr..
Bell was in capital vein and the other mem
bers of this capable organization, who are
by this time all we'll known individually to
the patrons of the house, appeared to excel
lent advantage. The piece, which is from
a German source, is practically the same as
that given by the DAILY company in New
York, known as "The Passing Regiment" :"
Harry Corson Clarke also presented it here
under yet another title. 1t is a good, clean
little piece and full of bright lines and funny
situations, admirably adapted to make a
couple of hours pass pleasantly. 1t will
be repeated for the remainder of the week.
The performance concludes as usual with
Lincoln j. Carter's under the Dome" with
Edith Lemmert in the leading role.

10 PAY HE EREIGHT

Washington, July B.-Secretary Gage
and Secretary Day had a conference at
the treasury this morning on the subject
rotary Gage and Assistant Secretary
Howell had been engaged all the morning
in studying the Cuban tariff and were
surprised to see that there were only
slight differences in their principal feat
ures between the Cuban rates as applied
to Spain and our own rates under the
present law, but an increase of 50 per
cent in Cuban rates as applied to coun-
tries other than Spain.
1t was decided, therefore, not to make
any changes at present and instead Of
formulating new rates. as was contem-
plated this morning, schedules Of rates
applicable to goods coming to Cuba from
Spain will be continued for the present AT
least, and made to apply 70 all goods
without regard TO the country of origin.
The present rate of port dues also Will
be continued. IT, however, 1t is learned
later that these rates are inconsistent
or oppressive in any particular they will
be modified accordingly.
The tariff was signed by President Nc
Kinley after a brief conference late this
afternoon with Secretaries Gage and AL
ger. The instructions were Immediately
cabled to the authorities in charge Of
Santiago by Secretary Alger, so that the
tariff can be put in force tomorrow morn
ing The new tariff abOlishes the dis
criminative tariff now in operation there
the rates for different countries at Cuban
ports varying. This country took as its
basis the rates accorded products of Spain
and applies them TO all countries. not
even excepting the United States. The
most important change effected is re-
duction of tonnage duty on ships carry
eng 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 per ton. This
old prohibitive tonnage tax under the
Spanish custom has been additional to
the customs duties. In contrast to the
2O-cent rate declared for Santiago, is our
own tonnage of 3 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 pro-
ducts and the scent export tax on iron
ore are retained, for a while at least.
