Taxes In Cuba.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The war depart
ment has finally decided to continue in
force for time at least the system OF
controlling taxes in Cuba practiced by
the Spanish authorities, but with some
very important changes made in the
plan, all in the direction of liberality
toward the taxpayers and in the hon.
esty of administration. The plan is en-
bodied in a general order which repre-
sents a vast amount of hard work by
Assistant Secretary Meklejohn and
which has been promulgated by the war
department. 1t is noticeable fact that
the burden of collection, amounting to
per cent of the tax, is now assumed
by the government instead of being i'm
posed upon the taxpayer. while the
heavy 10 per cent increase in taxation
which was levied as one of the last acts
of the Spanish administration is remit
ted as we'll as all accrued penalties.

TERMS:

One President is ar, ely inaugerated
before politicians begin to look around
for promising candidate to put in the
field for the next time. The most
popular American living today is with
out Il doubt, Admiral George Dewey
Whichever party is successful in secur-
ing him as their leader will be in pow !
daring the next administration. Wal
makes Presidents and why should it not?
No one knew whether lack Taylor was
Wing or Democrat before his candidacy
General Grant was neither Democrat
nor Republican until the latter party
put him in the Presidential chair, so in
just such position stands our modern
nero he is neither Democrat, Republi-
can or Bryanile he is grand and noble
specimen of American manhood with a
courage of conviction as steadtast as the
Green Mountain peaks in whose shadows
he was reared. lie would strike as
fatal blow to corruption in govern
mcnt as he did to the Spanish fleet and
ne would do it with the same dispatch
No American will be better versed in
tne probable issue of the next Presiden-
tial campaign than he and no man would
more concientiously do his duty, but if
Admiral Dewey should take his seat in
he chair of the chief magistrate of the
United States it would be as great an
honor TO the nation as it would TO him.
His famous statement made when asked
what his politics were: 81 came OF old
Vermont stock rooted deep in the soil
that faces the rugged slopes of the green
mountains should be danger signal
for the Democratic leaders who have
been trying to find out the principles Of
MS political platform in order to place
Ilm on their Stage.

PROTESTS AGAINST OTIS

fuI solution of Difficulty

Manila. Jan. 9.-Within few hours
of the proclamation issued by MaJoi
General Otis in behalf of President NC
Kinley the agents of Aguinaldo oiiieo
Manila with manifesto which attrac1-
ed considerable attention. Inc reVoiu-
tionary president protested against
General Otis signing himself military
governor of the Philippine Islands
Aguinaldo declared he hao never
agreed at Singapore, Hongkong or else.
where to recognize the sovereignty oi
the Americans here and insists that ne
returned to the Philippines on an Amer
lean warship solely to conquer the
Standards and win independence. he
asserts that both his proclamations OF
Nav "a and June 70 stated this fact OF
ficially, and he asserts that Major Gen''
eral Merritt confirmed this by a proc
lamation, days before the Spaniards
capituated, stating clearly ana dennite-
ly that the American forces came 10
overthrow the Spanish government ana
liberate the Filipinos.
Says He Has Proofs.
Aguinaldo declares that he has ma
tives and foreigners as witnesses that
the American forces recognized not only
by acts that the Filipinos were bellig-
erents, but by publicly saluting the FIN
pino flag las it triumphantly sailed
these seas before the eyes Of all ma
TONS"
Aguinaldo then solemnly protests, lin
the name of the Diety, who empowered
him to direct his brethren in the diff
cult task of regeneration against the
intrusion Of the American government
and reiterates that he can produce
proofs that he was brought here on the
understanding that the Americans
promised him their cooperation to at
tain independence.
Major General Otis attaches no i'm
portance to the manifesto. He says he
feels confident that the opinion of the
better classes Of the Filipinos is not ex-
pressed in it, but as to whether the
Filipino masses can be controlled and
the Filipino army kept in check he does
not know. although he hopes for pa
ciflc outcome of the trouble.
