TOO HOT FOR CUBAN VISITORS.
The Teachers at Cambridge Taking Kindly "a
Ice Cream and Berries.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July l6-The intense
heat OF the past few days Is being felt by the
Cuban teachers. although 1t might be supposed
that they would suffer less than others. The
visitors have found this weather a severe test
TO their ability to stand heat. In their own
country there Is not the humidity that Is felt
here. and they are more used to a dry heat
than that which is experienced here.
Another element In the case is the change in
food and drink which has been brought about
for them. Fruit forms q big part in their list of
foods. and they are finding berries OF all kinds
q great treat. Strawberries were TO them an
unknown quantity until they came here, and
now they are enjoying raspberrie~ and blue
berries. Another thing to which they all have
taken kindly Is ice cream. and Of this they SEEM
lngly cannot get enough. While they had
formed some acquaintance with this refresh-
ment In their own homes. they do not know
Ice cream intimately.
The teachers, who now number 1881, have
settled down into the routine Of hard work and
are paying more attention to their studies than
10 social Affairs. Supt. Frye Gays the trip has
put an end to the jealousles and local feelings
evinced by the Cubans while Ell route because OF
their coming from 40 many different provinces.

Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun

Special Gable Despatch TO THE Sun.
HAVANA, July l0-The local papers have
complained Of the change made In the tariff on
linen goods. which. they declare. has been
raised so per rent In order to give an advantage
to American cotton goods. Col. Bliss. Collect r
Of Customs, Gays that the change was made In
order TO put a fair tariff on linen according TO
the number Of threads per square millimetre,
linen goods hitherto having enjoyed an unfair
advantage. The Customs Department also has
been largely defrauded by cotton goods being
imported as linen owing TO the advantage en-
joyed by the latter.
Col Bliss further says thatinstead Of ~favoring
American goods he has steadfastly refused to
do so. He ha. often been approached by Amer
lean merchants who desired him 10 change the
tarif In order to suit existing stocks held by the
merchants. who we're not willing TO make goods
at this season Of such quality as would pass
through the Custom House at a lower rate.
Col. Bliss. however, says that the merchants
should make their goods according TO the tariff
and that the latter should not be adjusted to
suit the stocks held by the merchants and man
ufacturers. Col. Bliss declares that the great
trouble here has been that the merchants want
ad valorem duties. which. however. would be
very expensive for Cuba owing to the necessity
Of keeping agents In many foreign countries.

Company. has notified Director OF Posts Fosnes
