SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 3.--Mr.
w. 2. Townes, president of the Porto
Rican Tobacco company, declares that
ID per cent Of the Dingley rates will
prohibit Porto Rican tobacco from sale
in the United States. The raw leaf
would pay on an average 5 IA cents In
the United States and finished goods ~
1-2 cents per pound. This would be
discriminating in favor of the United
States manufacturers to the extent Of
$7.25 on each | 1,OOe pounds.

here than in the United States and the
passage of the proposed bill would de-
stroy Porto Rican manufactures. 1t
would be a crime against Porto Rican
labor and capital. If congress is sincere
in its endeayor to raise revenue for the
island it cannot consistently take the
Dngley bill as basis. The difference
OF rates between the manufactured and
raw products win protect the United
States manufacturers but slaughter the
Porto Rican manufacturers. = \

President Kruger is said to have prom
ised to reoccnpy Bloemfo fontein this
week, and the stubborn burghers seem
to be closing on the place in such force
as promises to be troublesome, espe-
tially when it is realized that the activ-

ity of Paardeberg has already inter-
5rnpted direct communicat between
5 Lord Roberts and Kimberley. But for
the Overwhelming numbers at the dis
posal Of Lord Roberts, the situation
would justly cause Great Britain
greater anxiety. As it is, the nation is
beginning to realize from the nature Of
she guerilla warfare, that it is liable to
embarrass the future movements Of the
British troops. n. 4 "

AS THEY FOUND IT.

Senator Platt Outlines the Result Of tho
Committees Visit to Cuba #
WASHINGTON, April !. The sub-com-
tnittee Of the senate, consisting of Sena-.
tors PlattEof Connecticut, Aldrich and
Teller, who went to Cuba for the pur-
pose of personally Investigating condi-
ions on the island, with a view to IN.
teIigent action by congress with re-
spect to Cuba, have returned to Wash
hgton. Senator Platt, chairman Of the
committee, authorized the follow
ing slater emit concerning the sub-com-
mittee's observations:
We inquired as carefully and COM
pletely as we could with the limited
time at our disposal, into the conditions
Of the people Of the island, their needs
and the prospect of the establishment Of
an independent, satisfactory and stable
government by and for the people of
Cuba. We were in Havana in all seven
days. We visited the provinces of
Mnar del Rio, Matanzas and Santa Clara,
hsing
Unable to Go to Santiago
gs we very much wished We saw and
eohversed with q great many prominent
sad leading men from all portions Of
ehs island, men who represented diff
gerent ideas and interests, from intense
conservatism to decided radicalism.
It may be said Of all classes in Cuba
that they are looking to the establish
ment of an independent government, a
Cuban republic. A few are impatient
and wish for immediate and complete
independence. Others are less impa-
tient, believing that sufficient time
should be taken to avoid mistakes and
to set up the new government upon
such a firm basis as to insure its success
and permanence. All are looking for
ward to the municipal elections that are
to take place in the latter part of May,
regarding such elections as the first step
toward the
establishment of the New Government.
Much will depend upon the result of
these elections. It they take place with
out disorder, and good officials are
elected, that viii 60 far to prove the
capacity Of the people for 1f-govern-
ment.
1T is not too much to say that the
people Of Cuba, in respect to the forma-
tion of a stable and beneficent govern
ment, are very much like children who
have to be taught and led. They regard
the United States as their friend
and teacher, and, as a whole, are
quite willing to be guided. There
are great possibilities in the island.
On the whole there has been
marvellous reeuperation since the dec
laration of independence, but it needs
American capital and American enter
prise, which hesitate as yet to go
through. English and German capital
seems more confident and is being in
vested. Surely our ownaa people ought
to have as much confidence in the fu-
ture of Cuba as foreigners have. 2

the interest of the Beers.
lii an authorized statement, Mr.. Davis
says that as result Of his visit to Il &
Transvaal, he feels impelled to tendc
his resignation as assistant secretary Of
the interior He will at an early date
deliver a lecture in this city, in the in
terests Of the South African republics.
Mr.. Davis feels that this is the best
way to arouse the enthusiasm of the
American people in behalf Of those re-
pnblics.
Why He Resigns. b
Mr.. Davis decided to resign because
Of the acceptance Of an invitation to de-
liver a lecture on the South African
war, and he felt that as an official he
could not express his views with such
freedom as he could as a private citizen
The invitation was extended by nom
partisan citizens of Washington, and
was not inspired in any way by persons
directly connected with Boer interests.
Mr.. Davis said: ;58
sit is purely matter Of sympathy
on my part. ] went to South Africa
unprejudiced, visited both armies, saw
much of the British soldiers and people,
and also much of the Beers. After see
ing what I did, made up my mind
that the cause of the Beers was just;
that the two smallest republics in the
world were struggling against the great
est empire in the world, for home, jus
tice and independence. The struggle
seemed to me very unequal. The whole
number Of Beers, including men,
women and children, is not greater
than the population of the city of Wash
sKgton, and yet these brave people have
the courage to put up the greatest fight
in history against an empire of four
hundred millions. concluded at once
that my sympathies were with those
struggling for liberty and I feel that
the American people should sympathize
with them in their fight for justice and
Independence.
Mr.. Davis was asked what course he
would have the people Of this country
pursue in order to assist the Beers. He
replied: 1, ss
DO any thing and every thing within
their power and let Great Britain and
the world know that the sympathies of
the American people are not with Great
Britain, but with the Beers and III the
interests Of humanity and civilization.
We should let the world know that snch
an unholy war should stop and stop at

MORAL EFFECT GREAT.

Boers Who Have Been Disheartened VIII
Recover Their Spirits.
New YORK, April ga dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
The wonderful run Of success which
for SO long attended the movement of
the British army in South Africa, was
broken on Saturday, when Colonel
Broadwood's troops walked into Boer
ambush east of Bloemfontein. The loss
OF guns is not in itself a very serious
ious matter, and, indeed, the mishap is
not Of intrinsic military Importance,
but its moral effect may be considera-
Bile. Many Beers who had been dis
heartened by successive defeats will
now recover their spirits and fight with
renewed vigor. .ss II. IS.
lt is by no means clear how the af-
fair happened, but probably when Com
mandant Olivier's force retreated
through Lady brand, strong detach-
ment was left there to watch the Brit
ish flank, and this detachment has
scored success. OF course.
the Beers may yet be prevented
from carrying off the captured guns and
wagons, but unless General Colville can
delay them they will make good their
retreat. Owing, no doubt, to the fact
chat the action at Kaaree Roof, north
of Glen, last Thursday, was not of great
Importance, the military censor has
dealt lightly with the copy Of the Vari-
GUS war correspondents describing it.
General Roberts evidently desired to
bring about the surrender Of the whole
force of Beers, but they succeeded in
getting away over the flat country with
all their guns and wagons. The escape
Of the Beers is attributed by The Stand
ards correspondent to the delay Of the
cavalry in completing the encircling
movement, General French being under
the impression that the Beers had
already gone. On the whole, it is doubt
ful whether the results Of the operation
were commensurate with the loss of life
it entailed. III
Although the opinion is freely ex-
pressed in official circles that Mafeking
is quite safe, the uncertainty as to the
state Of the food supply in the beleag-
uered town causes great anxiety here.
The impression prevails in many quar-
! ters that q column has crossed the Vaal
and is marching northward to the relief
Of the garrison, but no official informa-
tion has been received to that effect.
The most northerly point that any Brit
ish force is known to have reached from
the south is Warrenton, and even the
war Office seems to be unaware Of the
whereabo bouts Of Colonel Plumer.
In reply to a telegram from the mayor
of East London, General Roberts has
stated that the relief Of Mafeking is en-
gaging his earnest attention.
Orders have been cabled to the COVER
nor Of Beira toallow all British soldiers,
stores and ammunition to pass through
Rhodesia. This news is telegrap pied BY
Sa Mail corresp pond lent, in sben, and it
