sufficient reduction can be made under

WASHINGTON, April AT the cab
met meeting dispatch was read from
General Otis, covering the operations
Of the army in the Philippines for a
considerable time. The subject of a
reduction of the revenues by congress
was discussed. It is understood the ad-
ministration is in favor Of revision Of
the war revenue act SO as to cut down
the receipts, but in view Of the fact
that to make any move in that direction
probably would prolong the present
session Of congress for many weeks if
not months, it is thought by represen-
tative Republicans that nothing in this
line would be advisable at this session.
The resignation Of Assistant Secretary
Of the Interior Webster Davis was dis
cussed, and it is understood the presi-
dent will accept the same through the
secretary Of the interior.

Fifteen Per Cont Tariff VIII Keep Out
Porto Rican Tobacco.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 2.-Mr.
w. P. Townes, president Of the Porto
Rican Tobacco company, declares that
10 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 ID cents in
the United States and finished goods ~
IL cents per pound. This would be
discriminating in favor of the United
States manufacturers to the extent Of
1926 on each 200 pounds. s
"Skilled labor,'' he said, "is higher
here than in the United States and the
passage Of the proposed bill would de-
stroy Porto Rican manufactures. IL
would be crime against Porto Rican
labor and capital. If congress is sincere
in its endeavor to raise revenue for the
island it cannot consistently take the
Dingley bill as basis. The difference
Of rates between the manufactured and
raw products will protect the United
States manufacturers but slaughter the
Porto Rican manufacturers.

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
ington, and yet these brave people have
the courage to put up the greatest figh
in history against an empire Of four
hundred millions. I 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. y
Mr. Davis was asked what course he
would have the people Of this country
pursue in order to assist the Beers. He
replied:
"Do anything and everything 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 In the
interests Of humanity and civilization.
We should let the world know that such
an unholy war should stop and stop at
once.'s
When asked as to whether he would
go on the stump during this campaign,
in the interest Of tho Republican party,
Mr.. Davis said that he did not care to
look into the future, and that Ill he had
within night at present was his lecture
IN Washington. He had no criticisms
TO make in regard to the adminstra-
