THE CUBANS
ARE OFFENDED

New York, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: The Cubans
are greatly incensed over the action OF
the United States government in making
the Bank of Spain the financial agent of
the United States in the collection of
taxes, as under the Spanish rule. No
greater offense could have been given to
the Cubans than this. The Bank of Spain
was the instrument used for years to
wrest unjust taxes from them. 1t is the
most unpopular institution on the island
and the administration Gould hardly have
done anything else that would v gone
SO far to convince the Cubans of it's in
sincerity as the choice of this bank as it's
financial agent.
Twenty-one postal clerks have arrived,
reporting to Postmaster General of Cuba
Rathbone. Ten will remain here to clear
up affairs in the Havan office. The
others will be scattered throughout the
island and the prediction is made that
another fortnight will Sc the postal af-
fairs here in as good a condition as in the
United States. ~

day; also, whether the rate of wages to
miners in Virginia and West Virginia
shall be equalized to the rate in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio and other states near
the great chain of lakes.
An idea of the situation is obtainable
by a glance at the following eight-hour
s~tates: Pennsylvania, part of the west
ern portion; Ohio, indiana and Illinois.
Ten-hour states: West Virginia, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Iowa.
In all of the western states the opera
tors work their mines ten hour daily.
FOur-fifths of the mines in Pennsylva-
MIA, or all mines outside of a circle within
a adius of 80 miles of Pittsburg, are
operated on the ten-hour plan. The
great mines near Pittsburg, employing
union labor, run only eight hours.
River coal operators will be a consider
able factor in the Interstate convention
of operators and miners. They had no
representative at last years meeting,
which convened in Chicago, and the opin-
ion is unanimous that the river differen-
tial question should be satisfactorily ad-
juSted.

THE LEADERS
ARE RESPONSIBLE

San Francisco. Ian 9.-Father Diaz,
leader of the 10 Spanish priests from Ma
Mia who are in this city on their way to
Panama, says: u 4"
"The Filipinos are not naturally war
like and would not be now opposing the
United States were it not for the leaders
who are squirting them on These leaders
are in the work solely for personal gain
and would prove hard masters for the
weaker portion of the natives should they
gain the power At Iloilo, where I was
stationed, there would have been little
fighting if it had not been for these NAL
contents who forced the natives to take
up arms. Most of the men who are at the
head of the ~insurgent movement are mes
tiZos or half breeds. AS to Aguinaldo
himself. he is a crafty fellow and has a
following among those people who hope
to climb by his advancement. l do not
consider AguinaldO personally respon-
sible for all he brutality shown our
friars, yet he cOuld have prevented a
good portion of it if he had seen fit to do
So"
Father Fernandez, another of the
party, states that he considers the nat-
ives Of the islands a civilized people.
