Washington, November 19--The Cubans
are beginning to get uneasy at the delay
of the Mckinley administration in maxi
ing public its policy toward Cuba, and
the patriots of that little island seem to
really fear American Cor at least repub-
lican) designs on their liberty.
| General Garcia. who is at the head of
the Cuban delegation here, is very care
full in what he says. but he bitterly resents
the recent statement of General Ludlow.
military governor of Havana. concerning
cuba's illiteracy, and expresses surprise
that he should place the illiterate class on
the island at so per cent, when the enum-
orators and census directors. now at work
en- this matter, have not yet half COM
pleted their task.
With regard To his other state
ment. that the Cubans are incom-
petent TO fill the public offices, Cen
cral Garcia sarcasticaIIy replies
thnt the military commanders who
have been sent by the Mckinley
administration to administer the
affairs of government in Cubn could
hardly be classed as civil experts,
and that apart from the fact that
they have occupied fine houses ana
have drawn large salaries, taken
the revenue of the island, they have
done little or nothing tn either
raise the educational standard of
the people or to give them nm OPP
portunity to show themselves cap
able of self government.
General Garcia concludes by protesting
against the persistent designation If
Cuba as a colony" Nothing, he says
inflames the Cubans so much as TO be
told that Cuba is colony of the United
States. He wants Cuba's exhibit at the
Paris exhibition placed separate and dis
tinct from those of Puerto Rico and the
Philippines.

FAVORABLE TO IMPORTERS.

The United States court of Appeals
handed down a decision to the effect
that the tariff act of July IA, 1897, in
relation to the entry of woods did not
go into effect until 4:O6 O'Clock that
day, the time the act was signed by
the president. The large wool house
of Stoddard, Herrick, Richards & Co.,

sO5 bales of wool and the entry was
made before the close of the custom
house at 4 O'Clock July "a, 1897. Com

der the new tariff act and the firm

of the facts in the case before the
United States Circuit Court, and it
was heard by Judge Colt some time
ago. He sustained the decision of
the appraisers. Commissioner War
rem then appealed to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals on the
grounds that the general appraisers
erred in the facts. The Court of APP
peals sustained the decision of Judge
Colt. Commissioner Warren then
maintained that the law went into eff
feet after midnight on the day on
which the act was signed for the
reason that the United States gov
ernment did not recognize fractions
of day. The decision involved hun
dreds of thousands of dollars which
will be lost to the United States and
is a great victory to importers all
over the country.
