REVISED CUBAN TARIFF
1T Is CALCULATED TO INCREASE
ISLAND REVENUES.
Trade with United states Has Not
Augmented ns Was Ex-
pccted.

The War Department has made public
simulta neously here and in Havana the
schedules of the revised Cuban tariff. which
goes into effect June Is. The revision has
been effected with difficulty. and the
schedules have Travelled back and forth be-
tween Washington and Havana half a
dozen times before they have been SO far
perfected to be ready for PRONUNCIATION
The revised tariff will, it is calculated.
slightly increase the revenues of the Is
land which were last year approximately
SIG. 100000. The primary purpose of the
revision of the Porter tariff was not, as
had been supposed. to provide against de-
ficiency in revenues. but rather to reclassi1y
the imports, and especially to stimulate
importations from the United States. The
trade between Cuba and the United states
has not augmented since the American oc-
cupation. and even the application OF the
Porter tariff was not attended by any pene-
fit in the increase of the aggregate volume
of trade. In fact Cuban merchants, being
relieved from the Spanish obligation to pur-
chase in one market. have not turned TO
the United States since they were released
from that obligation and consequently OF
the imports into Cuba less than 80 per cent
originate in the United States. The Porter
tariff made sweeping cuts in the old Span
ish tariff, and in the very beginning atten-
ton was directed to food products, II was
felt to be just that these necessaries of life

A DANCE BY CHILDREN.
May Carnival by Miss Corn Shreve's
Pupils at the Columbia.

The May carnival and exhibition of fancy
dancing given at the Columbia Theater last
night by the pupils of Miss Cora Shreve
was complete success in every detail. A
large audience that filled the theater almost
uncomfortably was present and every fea-
ture on the program received a generous
share of applause. The accessories of the
affair were all that could be desired, the
costumes being decidedly novel and pretty,
while the music was entirely adequate. An
additional charm was given the exhibition
by the many little tots that took part, some
of the smallest juvenile dancers in the
city having a place on the program. The
opening number, fairy dance. was very
picturesque indeed. All of the concerted

extent of fully 30 per cent. There Is no in
fiuence more potent in exposing evils and
correcting them than the heightened indie

in that direction. AS citizens of the county
we thank you that you have laid bare so

highest number paying this tax was seven

now about the correct number.
The other error / am DESTROYS of cor

BILE to our present county officials. This
is discouraging to the latter officers, who

Mr.. ii. Maurice Talbot. and the new
sheriff Mr.. Arthur Williams, have taken

safe of the Katy depot this morning
at o'clock. Two distinct explosions
were heard by people living in the
west part of town, but 1t was thought
TO be blasting at the gas well or some
one dynamlting fish, so ne one inves-
tigsted. The front and rear side of
the safe were torn away, but the in.
ner shell was not opened. A hole
was tern through the roof and the
windows and doors were blown out.
The ticket cabinet WAS blown across
the room, and the tickets scattered
over the floor. The burglars were
probably frightened away by the
noise as no attempt was made oRet
anything. There was no money In
the safe, but two express packages
looked rs though they had been In
