CUBAN MERCHANT MARINE.
FAVORABLE ACTION TAKEN TO
BUILD Up COMMERCE.
Registry Fees for Documenttng
Foreign Vessels Are Abolfshed-
Beneficial Anne "A dment In Regula-
tfons for Porto Rican Customs.
wASHTNGTO,

WASHINGTON. March u--President
Mckinley, BY an order made public today
through Assistant Secretary OF War
Me.kiejohn. has taken the first important
action toward laying the foundation Tor
a purely Cuban merchant marine he
has directed that all registry fees imposed
for dccunengiRg foreign vessels in Cuba
be abolished. This Will not only allow the
Cuhans 10 purchase ships in the cheapest
markets of the world, bat viii enable
them to bu.id up a carrying trade which
they so much need. and which by an
onerous tax under Spanish rule was al
most Impossible. The coastwise trade or
Cuba covers a distance of over 1909 miles.
The flag adopted for Cuban vessels is
blue dag with a white ensign. Although
no reciprocal arrangements have been en-.
tered into by which the Cubans can trade
with American ports, nevertheless they
are privileged to do SO. but of course
their vessels must pay the same duties as
other alien vessels.
President Mckinley has also announced
the customs tariff and regulations for
ports in Porto Rico. Hereafter shocks"
and headings" viii pay a duty of only
- cents per 100 kiios. Heretofore they
have paid SO cents per loo kiios, a reauc-
ton OF "a per cent. on this article alone.
The object OF this reduction rs to enable
the Porto Rieans TO secure cheap pack
ages for the shipment OF raw sugar and
molasses. The president has also directed
that the customs tariff and regulations
for ports in Porto Rico be amended by
the insertion OF a paragraph which per-
rnlts articles OF growth, produce and
manufacture OF the island Of Porto Rico
exported To foreign country and re-
turned without having been advanced in
value or improved in condition by any
process of manufacture or ether means,
and upon which no drawback or bounty
has been allowed. 10 be returned 10 the
island free OF duty.
A similar amendment has been made to

Persistent RumOr of His Early Re-

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, March M-Secretary
Aiger practically gave UP all direction OF
the affairs of the war department some
time ago when he revived his plan for a
trip To Cuba, where there is no fighting
and not likely TO be. His action in thus
leaving Washington. when there was
fighting around Manila has caused re-
newai OF the rumors of his early retire
ment. Ii is whispered about the building
that Gen. Alger Will either resign or re-
tain only nominal control of the affairs
of the war department. leaving the real
authority to Adjt Gen. Corbin.
1t j. said the conferences at ThomaSvilie
were wholly unfavorabe 70 Alger. and 1t
is believed the president was strongly adj
vised to insist on the early retirement of
the secretary of war on the ground that
his continued presence in the cabinet
would be a political menace, and prac-
ticany the only thing the administration
has to fear in the coming campaign.
