COL. HUBBELL'S VIEWS
HOSTILE SPIRIT DISPLAYED BY
THE NATIVES.
Detected In Many Plots to Assassin

Glad to See the Volunteers Go
When An Aguinaldo Appears
There Will Be Trouble

New York, March 11.-Colonel Will
liam H. Hubbell, commander of the
Forty-seventh regiment, which has just
returned from Porto Rico, when inter
viewed by a Journal and Advertiser
reporter, said: The Porto Ricans
want independence"
Colonel Hubbell declared his belief,
based upon his experience as a soldier
of this government, that an insurrec-
ton of the natives of Porto Rico is
bound to come sooner or later He said
that every evidence of the fOrthcOm-
ing uprising was given in Porto Rico,
especially in the latter part of the stay
of the regiment there.
A Porto Rican Aguinaldo could cause
this country much annoyance. They
had become demoralized by the exam
pie of Cuba, having observed the sue
cessful issue of a great revolution.
1T is just five months now" said
Colonel Hubbell, since we left Newport
for Porto Rico on the Manitoba. We
were sent TO Porto Rico to help restore
order and set the machinery of the
somewhat modified civil government in
operation.
Contrary to our expectations we
have had to attend largely to military
business during the latter part of our
stay. The headquarters Of the Forty
seventh regiment were at CaguaS, a
small town in the northern part of the
island, containing about 1000 people.
We found it very dirty We first set to
work cleaning the place. We made
Caguas clean. think We restored or
der completely. At least this was so
during our stay. BY the conduct of
officers and men and by the character
of our orders, we tried to impress the
natives with the worth Of American
institutions.
But we found out that there is a
latent determination among large
ence. There is no longer any use in
trying to conceal the fact

ticus awe as an economic fetch. The
unceasing strain of increasing eXpen-
ditures in time of peace is forcing can
did experts to admit that no reserves
of taxation are available under free
trade for a period of war and that
whenever a great campaign comes on
the door viii be opened for a protect
i've tariff.
When the Times is willing to consider
the expediency of levying duties on
wheat and sugar, there is no reason
to doubt that there are powerful inter-
eSts in the country which are prepared
to sanction this policy in the face of i'm
pasSioned defamation in favor of free
trade and the traditions of Cobdenism.
A duty on wheat would be regarded by
agricultural England as genuine re-
lief measure for the protracted depres-
sion which has prevailed without in
terruption since the adoption of free
trade. A duty on sugar would enable
the colonial office to make reciprocity
arrangements with West and East In
dian colonies which would remove the
existing reproach that the United
States government, by reason of coun-
tervailing duties on bounty fed i'm
ports, is now treating British planters
more just than the home government
itself is dealing with them. The foun-

would be laid by duties OF this nature
on the lines proposed by Mr.. Chamber
lain three years ago, and the cause of
imperial federation would be promoted
by business like methods, instead of be-
ing advocated as a vagary OF loyal SEN
timent-a beautiful dream.
The liberals, however, would have an
issue of inestimabie value to them if
the government were to commit itself
TO duties on wheat and sugar. The an
tagonistic sections Of the party could
unite in opposition 10 the proposed du-
ties on food and they would have a
rallying cry for campaigning among the
masses. Sir Edward Grey has already
raised the issue of government extrav-
agance as one on which distracted de-
moraliZed liberals can stand shoulder
to shoulder and Lord Rosebery's forgot
ten taunt of three years ago: You are
spending money with both hands in a
time of profound peace" has been re-
Vived with dramatic effect.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR JAPAN.
Ten Millions Appropriated For An
Iron and Steel Plant.

4lOll dllo StCC1 = 1d1AI.
New York, March ia special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washington
says: The Japanese government evil
IDENTIFY intends to engage in the iron
and steel business on a large scale, and
to that end it is making liberal appro-
priations and generous expenditures to
establish a plant. Consul General
Convey at Yokohama has forwarded to
the state department an article pub
lished in the Japan Times of Jan. q, of
which the following is a synopsis:
The expenditure for the establish
ment of an iron foundry in Flu Kuoka
prefecture, as approved by the imperial
diet, amounted to % little over 100000
yen (about $2,000,OO0) as a starting fund,
to be met by portion of the indemnity
and floating loan bonds. This starting
fund with the approval of the twelfth
session of the diet, was increased to
10,0a0,000 yen (s5,000,000) in round num-
bers.
The government has further ap0lied
to the current session of the diet for
the appropriation of an additional sum
of 100000 yen (s1.S0O.OOO) toward the
expenditure in question, thus making
the total amount of the capital for the
establishment of the government iron
foundry 19,202,0 600 yen (S9,601,0 00).

of the exchequer is likely to propose
these radical changes, yet it is con-
WINGED that if some measures of the
kind are not adopted, England will find
itself confronted with far more serious
financial problems in the immediate
future. It is needless to add that the
chancellor Of the exchecuer who Ven
lures to propose duties on wheat and
sugar viii be charged with treason to
free trade. Duties on wheat and sugar
viii be the entering wedge for a policy
of Indirect taxation which free traders
have been describing for half a century
as ruinous to Drotectionist America.
The chancellor of the eXchequer is not
likely to expose himself to destructive
criticism from the Liberal benches by
proposing so radical a change in the
financial system as the abandonment
of English free trade. There will be
budget speech, with temporary eXDed-
tents and small makeshifts, and the
chancellor of the eXchequer will wriggle
out of his deficit by suspending the new
sinking fund and reimposing the TO-
tacco duty which was reduced last
year.

the chancellor of the exchequer lays
his budget before the commons.
one Of these signs is the onlinous
warning from Sir Michael Hicks Beach
that the balance Of revenue and eXpen-
diture may be on the wrong side, and
that measures may be required for
meeting considerable deficit. Another
straw which shows the direction of
the wind is Mr.. Morlsy's protest against
the alarming increase of national eX-
Denditures. The most remarkable in
dication. however. Of a transition stage
in national finance is the candor OF the
leading journal in recommending the
reimposiJion of duties which were ab0l-
ished when free trade was established
as the permanent fiscal policy of the
united kingdom. That great organ of
English opinion has been publishing a
series of important articles by an eX-
pert on the finances Of the last two
years. and it virtually adopts his con-
clusion that the time has come Cor re-
considering and revising the entire
system of taxation in a bold and COM
prebensiVe way.
The method recommended involves a
return TO principles which Golden and
Bright condemned. The points of the
argument are as follows:
The national expenditures have in
creased about 80 per cent during twenty
years. and the bulk OF the additional
burden has been thrown upon direct
taxation, whereas indirect taxation has
remained almost unchanged, customs
and excise being taken together. The
death duties have been nearly trebled.
and the income tax has grown propor-
tionately, and all the extraordinary
burdens of the state and a steadily in
-. 49,, H..
have been thrown by direct taxation
upon /. limited class.
HARD on CAPITAL.
These increased direct charges now
operate as high tax upon capital. and
are detrimental to the interests of the
working classes. They also involve eX-
haustion of what was once a great
financial re. Frve. 1t was once easy to
meet q fresh emergency by putting an
extra penny on the tax, but it is no
longer practicable to do this, since the
extraordinary resource has been con-
verted into the ordinary source OF reve-
nue. under conditions of profound peace.
The income TAX has rot been below SIX
pence in fifteen years, and year after
year it has stood at S pence. The center
of gravity OF taxation has been altered
by q tremendous increase of direct
charges, without any corresponding adj
dition to indirect charges.
The conclusions from these PREMISES
are ccurageously drawn by the Times.
1T viii be the act Of weak government
if the probable deficit of the treasury be
met by adding another penny To the
income tax. or by the feeble exoedient
of a suspension of the sinking fund. 1t
is dangerous to depend continuously
upon direct taxation for carrying eX-
traordinary burdens. and it is hardly
less perilous TO restrict the list of
chargeable commodities for indirect
taxation by reimposing the shilling
duty on wheat and that of a Denny
duty on sugar. and also to renounce
the idea that q tfree breakfast table"
