/. That the government and people

with Spain to achieve their independ-
ence, and, whereas, said purpose and the
military operations hereunder have
not been abandoned, but are still be-
ing actively prosecuted hereunder;
therefore. in recognition of and. in
obedience to the vital principle de-
rive their just powers from the con-
obedience to the vital priciple an

pendent government shall have been
duly erected therein entitled to rec
ignition as such TO transfer TO said
a.
be reasonable and just. all rights Sc
cured under the cession by Spain and
TO thereupon leave the government
and control of the islands to their peo-
pie.

fscturers Association After Failing to
Obtain the Imposition by the Cover
ment of a Prohlbitive Import Duty on
American Wheels.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The length TO
which European manufacturers are
willing TO go in their efforts TO crush
out American competition is shown
in the following report TO the state
department. by Dean b. Mason. vice
consul at Frankfort:
SIMPLE But INGENIOUS.
Failing to obtain from the inn
perial government the prohibitory inn
port duty on American bicycles which
they have so earnestly and persistent
ly demanded, the members of the Ger
man Bicycle Manufacturers associa-
ton have decided upon the following
simple but ingenious plan 10 kill the
American cycle trade in this coun-
try. From this time forward they
will unanimously refuse all credit to
any dealer who handles as part of his
stock in trade, bicycle of American
origin.
The association includes in its
membership nearly 100 of the most
important bicycle makers in Germany
who have been accustomed hitherto
to give retail dealers from two to four
months credit. and very liberal terms
in respect to parts and repairs.
SUGGESTION TO AMERICANS.
Since the majority of independent
bicycle dealers in Germany are in
close business relations with. and un-
dergo personal obligations TO one or
more manufacturers, it is expected
that the efforts of this heroic policy
will be to seriously injure the sale of
American bicycles unless sporting
take an aggressive attitude and make
the competition so hot that the Ger
man makers will be compelled to make
peace by resembling the present de-
cree"
