PRIESTS AGAINST BISHOP.
One of the auesIiOns for Archbishop
Chape1ie to Settle.

Havana. Jan. 2O.-The Bishop of Havana
and the Cuban priests are engaged in a
sharp controversy over a document recent
ly promulgated by the priests. This was,
in substance, manifesto against the
Bishop for encouraging Spanish resent
ment. and an appeal to the American au-
thoritieS TO sustain the Cubans
The Bishop has sought to present his
side of the case to General Brooke and to
discredit the priests He has cited the
pastorals issued by him, counselng acqui-
escence in the new order and the full ac-
ceptance or American authority.
The Cuban priests number only thirty,
but they are aggressive in their attitude
and are defiant of the superior ecclesiasti-
cal power. The peculiar political condi-
enforce discipline.
The action of the priests is part of
general movement to destroy abuses which
existed when church and state were united
under Spanish sovereignty. In some par
ishes the priests have returned to Spain.
The Cubans are demanding that all
Spanish priests be removed Much bitter
ness is shown on both sides The subject
is not one of which General Brooke can
take cognizance. While the Bishop of Ha-
vana is an intense Spaniard in sentiment.
he has not questioned American control
The Cuban priests, on their part have
welcomed it and promised cooperation
The dispute is a matter for the Vatican
TO arrange. 1t is one of several delicate
questions that will confront Archbishop
Chapelle when he arrives

RoCKEFELLER's TAX STANDS.
Justice Barnard Refuses to Set Aside
the Assessment.


Poughkeepsie, n. Y. Jan. 2O.-Justice ].
7. Barnard on Thursday, in the Dutch
ess county clerks Office filed an opin-
ion denying the application of John d.
Rockefeller TO set aside the assessment
on his tract OF land in Westchester coun-
". which county he does not claim as his
residence. The judge. in his opinion says
There is 10 merit in the application.
Parts of the land are coupled by ten
ants or employees of the owner and parts
are unocupied. except by the owner. The
assessors have assessed the occupied parts
70 the occupants and the remainder to the
owner as nonresident lands, under sec
tion 20 of chapter sos. laws of 1898
The objection made by the owner to
the assessment is wholly based upon a
failure to observe the strict technical di-
rection of the assessment law above re-
ferred to. The extent and notice of the
tenure of the occupant and the exact de-
scription of the land not occupied except
by the owner are facts entirely within the
knowledge of the owner. and he could Sc
cure exact regularity by information
given to the assessors.
An owner who compeis the board to
make assessment with insufficient in
formation seems not to be favored by tn =
law. The notice given is that the roll
does not follow or comply with the tax
law. The law requires that the statement
shall specify the respect in which the as
sessment complained Of is incorrect. The
notice filed does not specify any error ex-
cept the general one that the law was I
followed and the values are too high

Havana, Jan. 20.-Further particulars
are given regarding the proposed control
of the Cuban tobacco product and manufac-
ture by an American syndicate The
present owners ignored the proposition
until assured that New York city and 9TH
er banks had taken it out of the hands of
professional promoters. The plan is yet a
long way from consummation Initial
steps have been taken looking TO the
| banks furnishing the money for a single
corporation, which should control the ont
put The estimate is made that 81 ,6OO-
900 would be sufficient to obtain the eX-
isting factories, but the amount needed
to get the tobacco lands of the VueIta
Abajo and Partidos districts is largely
guess work. Estimates have been made of
particular regions in Fuelta Abajo These
show on paper large prospective returns.
One district. the Repate, figures $3.50. 900
yearly profit on net investment of $780,
900. The largest estimate is $50, ,00e, 900
for the total tobacco area in the provinces
of Pinar del Rio and Havana.
The. tank syndicate professed readiness
TO advance $t0e,o90 000 The promise is
made that if an arrangement is concluded,
the funds Will he Immediately supplied for
buying oxen, rebuilding drying houses and
other buildings destroyed during the war
and providing seed for next seasons plant
ing, which begins in September. Five mil
lion dollars is the estimate for this pur-
pose. Left to themselves, under the most
favorable conditions. it will be two years
before the tobacco farmers can return TO a
| normal production. The greatest draw
back is the lack of oxen. The crop this
year is very short, though the recent rains
are helping it.
The Havana factories will not be able to
meet the demand for cigars this year, be-
IL
in sufficient quantities.
Gustave Book, whose companies were
! made part of the scheme of the English
syndicate. said this afternoon that the
proposition had been made to him from
| responsible parties in New York. He
thought the plan feasible, but it would
take longer to consummate than its pro-
jectors had supposed. Other tobacco men
say it is possible, but not probable.
though they are satisfied of the financial
responsibility Of the men who make the
proposition. They treat it conservatively.
