SEEK GERMAN CONTROL.

The Recent VisitiGf Dr. Lsyds to
Berlin, It Is NoR Said, Was for the
Purpose Of Placing the Transvaal
Undsr German Control Rather
Than Submit to 4 British Ruler, as
the Ultimate Outcome Of the War
Was Conceded to Be Fatal 70 the
Republic.
NEW YORK, Feb, 1s.-A special to
the Herald from Washington. says:
A report Is current in diplomatic cir
cles in this city that Or. Leyds had for
his sole purpose in going to Germany
the establishment Of a German protec-
torate over the Boer republic.
The German emperor, It Is believed,
has been approached to ask to take
charge Of the Boer republic. The BosrS,
It Is said. seem to realize that their de-
feat at the hands OF England viii be the
ultimate result Of the present war.
Rather than submit to subsection 70
Great Britain they viii voluntarily
come under the sovereignty Of German
empire under certain stipulatlons. which
win guarantee their local self
government. It is stated that
President Kruger. realizing that
the liberties of his people are in danger
and that the continuance of the repub-
lie is threatened, prefers German em-
peror rather than an English ruler. Tho
overture to the German emperor was
made In the hrst place. 1t is reported,
with view to creating u rupture be-
tween England and Germany, This,
however. was avoided, as It is under
stood that Emperor William declined to
consider the proposition at least for the
present. According to the report, Or.
Leyds, before leaving Berlin, prepared
a secret treaty with Germany, in which
that country was guaranteed certain
rights. Although the text Of the treaty
is not known, It is said to give the Ger
man empire the greatest possible privi-
leges, amounting almost to ownership

To1sptatlvs Payps. Of New York, chair
man Of the ways and means committee
and Republican door leader, opened the
debate on the Porto Rico tariff bill. He
said, In part;
.An Incident TO the late war with
Spain was the Invasion Of Puerto Rico.
From the moment the American army
set It's foot on Porto Rican soil the
people seemed to receive them with
demonstrations of Joy. and the nag Of
the United States was received with
delight. Whatever differences there
may have been as I the policy of an
nexing the Philippine Islands. ! know
Of no opposition anywhere to the an
uexation OF this gem Of the Antilles
'This bill, BY It's terms, relates only to
'he island of Porto Rico. 1t cannot be
taken as a precedent of any legislative
action In reference to the Philippine is
lands when the present insurrection
SSH have been overcome, except In so
far as we assert in It our view of our
power under the American constItu-
ton.
Our Duty to Porto Rico.
IAN agree that the FIRST and most
Important duty we owe the Porto Rlcans
Is to open IN markets for them. In no
other way can we allay the feeling of
discomfort likely TO arise among q peo-
pie who have realized SO littls In the
change from Spanish oppression Of four
hundred years to the prosperity and
liberty which follows the American
nag.
The original bill introduced on the
18th day of January last, provided that
the customs laws OF the United States
and the internal revenue laws be ex-
tended to Porto Rico. The idea was to
give the producer of sugar the free en-
trance Of this staple into the United
States, saving duty of over $50 ton.
Under that bill the duty saved upon to-
bacco would be thirty-ave cents per
pound for the main portion of the crop
and for the wrapper 81 So per pound.
The Revenue Needed.
after consultation with General Da-
Wis, the present military governor, who
has made a careful study Of the cOndl-
tons in Porto Rico. 1t was found that
this action would not produce sufficient
revenue to meet the expenses Of the
government. He estimated that not
more than a million dollars could be
collected from both customs duties and
internal revenue tax. This sum would
not pay the bare expenses OF the gov
eminent without apprcprlating a dol
lar for the public schools or roads. The
substitute was then brought forward,
which imposes duty equal to our
own tariff upon all articles imported
from abroad, other than those Of the
United States, into Porto Rico, and a
duty equal to is per eentum of the
rates of our own tariff laws on all ar
ticles imported into Porto Rico from
the United States or from Porto Rico
Into tho United States, The best estl-
mates that can be obtained show that
this will produce a revenue of Sl,75o,OOO
from customs duties, which, added TO
the internal revenues of the islands,
win produce S2,5OO.OOO, sum sufficient
to pay all the expenses of the govern
ment, including the postal service. and
also 1925. 600 for the public schools. The
