REVENUE RULING.
Requirements for Exports to Porto
Rico.

Washington. April 2i-Comnfssioner Wiz
son of the Internal Revenue Bureau has re-
ceived an inquiry rs to whether. under the
new Porto Rican act. beer exported 10 Porto
Rico will be required to be stamped under
existing revenue regulations as applied fol.
nome consumption. or if it can be removed
under export stamps as heretofore.
In his reply the Commissioner calls a.teo-
tion IN the ruling of his offices to the effect
that Porto Rico IS not a foreign country
within the meaning -: the customs .'raw-
back law, ana that therefore. no refund os
duty can he allowed by way Of drawback
on goods exported to that country. Tho
Commissioning holds that on AMI after May
tax cannot BE- exported to Porto Rico in
bond. with benefit of drawback Of the tax
paid, under Internal revenue laws.
Assistant Secretary Spauldirg also has
rendered an opinion TO much the same ef-
feet He holds. first that merchandise car-
not be withdrawn from bonded warehouse
proximo for shipment to Porto Rico under
an export bond. because such a shipment
would not constitute an expectation within
the meaning of the laws relating TO the bond
and warehouse system. Second, for an
analogous reason, merchandise manufaC >
tured in the United States from irnpertA
materials cannot be shipped TO Porto R9
on and after the second proXiino with be
eft OF drawback.
Third-Bags for sugar shipped from th4
United States TO Porto Rico will he az
titled to free entry OH amt after the second
proXiilc.
Commissioner Chamberlain of the Savi-
CATION Bureau has issued circular 10 th,
Porto Rican act vessels entering the United!
States from Porto Rico from and after
Nav l. 1889 or entering Porto Rico from
the United States. will he exempt from
tonnage dues. From and after NAV ves-
se!s entering Porto Rico elsewhere than
tonnage taxes us provided by the laws OF
the United states.

EXPRESSES REGRET.
Miss Clara Barton Visits the State
Department.
REPTRL1C SPECIAL.

RtPl l!I.lt SPECIAL
Washington, April ot.-A1iss Clara Barton,
president of the American Red Cross. called
at the State Department to-day and ex-
pressed her resre: that members cf the
hospital corps from this country had Ell
listed with the Bocr army. Miss Eartnn's
explanation was very brief. nasmuch as
no responsibility rests on her organization.
She merely gave TO the officers Of certain
societies IN Chicago her approval of their
undertaking. and. believing in the good
faith of the corps. she introduced them To
the Portuguese authorities at Lorenzo Mar
queZ
The State Department authorities said to-
day that they would not. as reported. make
any protest to the Transvaal Government.
II was clear that the expedition was in no
sense flihustering one when it left this
country. and this Government was free
from all responsibility to Great Britain or
Portugal.
1t was stated. however. that the logical
result of the incident wonld he that Great
Britain would ask Portugal TO exercise
grea, care in the future reception of any
bodies of citizens for any purpose at Lo-
reno Marquee.
