RAILROAD COMMISSION FOR CUBA
SUGGESTED REMEDY FOR EXCESSIVE TRANS
PORTATIoN CHARGES.

Havana, Oct 14.-Governor-General Wood is
considering the advisability of appointing
railroad commission to fix rates and regulate
construction. This is due to numerous COM
plants of excessive freight charges, instances
being reported where the rates for less than
one hundred miles are higher than those from
NewYork TO Havana, with the duty added.
Senor Cancto, Secretary of Finance. urges the
introduction of American currency into Cuba
and the doing away altogether with Spanish
coin. He argues that the fact of there being
four different kinds Of currency, all having diff
ferent rates Of exchange and none regulated by
law, serves to cOmplicate the financial situation
and greatly interferes with commercial inter
ests. He recommends a special commission to
deal with the question.
