Havana, March 27.-Governor Gen.
sral Wood has recently had interviews
with persons of influence, who have
stenuously urged the taxation OF valu-
able property rsther than each bag oI
sugar as 1t is manufactured. Those
who hold this view contend that under
the present system impediments are
thrown in the way of production
They point out that many valuable
estates have been laying idle and un-
productive for years. some even having
complete sugar plants. The owners.
who are rich men. are living In Paris,
Madrid and other European cities,
quite untaxed for their property in
Cuba.
General Wood feels that If these
properties are taxed. their owners will
be forced either TO sell them or to make
them productive.
The meeting called today of those
tavoring universal suffrage resulted in
: failure. The only persons present
we're about so negroes and several
imall bows.
