Tax on Bananas Prevents Export.

Mobile. Ala, Nov. 15-The steamship
Managua from Guatemalan ports arrived
last night with half a cargo of bananas.
She reports that since the Guatemaiall
Government put on their export duty "f
ten cents "a stem ON bananas, planters
have stopped cutting and cargoes OF the
fruit are not obtainable. The steamship
Oteri came in this morning reporting
storms in Spanish Honduras so severe as
TO wash out bridges ON the Honduras
Railroad and prevent handling of fruit
by rail. The Oteri therefore brought no
bananas.
The captain of Managua says that ten
cents tax ON bananas lis for revenue pu.
poses to defray expenses of the re:cht
anti-reyolutionary operations; that tn
cents n stem amounts to % per cent. Of
what planters get for bananas and is
about all the profit there is from ralsrnG
the fruit. The tax was imposed NO
ven1ber 1st A committee of planters
has gone to see the President of Guatem-
ala 10 try to get the tax removed.

Associated Press Dispatch Boat Arrest
ed During the Yacht Races.

New York, 15.-During the progress
of the recent yacht races, the steam
yacht Vamoose, under charter and i'm the
service of The Associated Press, as
dispatch boat, was arrested by Lieuten-
ant Commander j. C. Fremont, who was
nm charge of the flotilla of torpedo boats
under supreme command of Captain
Robley ID. Evans.
The arrest of the Vamoose was made
despite the fact that she was sailing
aStern of the yacht Columbia, which was
making the course alone because the
Shamrock had carried away her tun-
mast, and after the VamOose had obtain
ed permission to approach the commit .ae
boat to get the official time at the turn
ing mark. The VamOOse was taken by
Commander Fremont to the Manning,
Captain Evans flagship, and in the face
of protests and explanation that penis
sion had been given, the Associated Press
was deprived of the use of its sw'fte;t
dispatch boat, the Vamoose being sent
to the city in command of revenue of
hcer.
She was released Immediately after She
reached the city by the authorities here,
but charges were preferred against Cap
tain Theodore Heilbron, master 0f the
Vamoose, and hearing was had on No
vember 7th before the local board of the
steam vessel inspection board. LeJ5en-
ant /. " Gillis of the torpedo boat Por-
ter who gave the VamoOse permission to
go astern of the committee boat, testified

SCOUTS THE IDEA OF WAR
RU SlA'S RELATIONS WITH JAPAN ARE NOT
STRAINED.
The Russian Minister to Korea Says Th're is a
Compact Between the Governments to
Maintain Korean Independence.

Washington, Nov. 15-In view of the
reported imninence of war between Rus
sia and Japan, concerning rights in
Korea, the statements made today by
Mr.. Alexander Pavlof. the Russian Min
lister to Korea, who happens to be in
Washington as the guest of Count Cas-
sini, the Russian Ambassador here, are
most opportune and important. Mr..
pavloff lis an accomplished diplomatlst
with extended experience in the Far
East and was ON the staff of Count Cas-
sini at Picking when Russia acquired
Port Arthur and Talien- Wan, and later
was advanced to the post of Minister to
Korea. Mr.. rayloff was seen at the
Russian Embassy today and spoke quite
frankly of the recent war rumors. lie
said:
Il left Korea only four months ago,
going to st. Petersburg, so that my i'm
FORMATION is quite direct and official, and
/ assure yOu there is no basis whatever
for reports of conflict between Russia and
japan over Korea. On the contrary, the
two countries have entered into two for
NAL compacts by winch it is agreed that
the independence of Korea shall be main
tanned. These compacts were concluded
at st. Petersburg and Toxic and they
are SO explicit that the reports of CON
flict as to sovereignty over Korean ter
ritory show am entire Ignorance of the
written agreement under which Russia
and Japan are acting towards Korea.
'PThe war rlTmors appear to be based
ON am alleged conflict over the port of
Masanpo. 1T happens that i am person
ally familiar with this affair, as ut de-
veloped before | left Korea. MasanDo
is one of the new treaty ports ON the
Southern coast of Korea. There has
been no question as to the freedom of
the port to all nations alike and no ques-
tions of favor or discrimination between
Russia and Japan have occurred as to
this port But a purely personal and
private difference arose some months ago
as to the ownership of certain lots at
Masanpo. Russian residents had secur.
ed a right to purchase the lots and were
awaiting the assent of the Korean Gov
ernment. Pending this consent Japanese
citizens purchased the same. rights. This,
however was purely a private difference,
in which the Governments of Russia and
Japan had no part.
