AGAINST PORTO RICO
RULING HANDED DOWN BY ACTING
SOLICITOR REEVE, OF THE
TREASURY
CAN'T HAVE DUTY ON COFFEE
Protection Desired by Planters of
the Island Is BARRED by the
Terms of the For
alker Act.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Felix A.
Reeve, acting solicitor of the treasury,
has rendered an opinion on the question
raised by Federico Degetan, resident COM
missioner from Porto Rico, as to whether
a customs duty of 5 cents a pounds
should net be imposed on all coffees i'm
ported into Porto Rico from the United
States under the terms of the Foraker
act. The solicitor holds adversely to MI.
Degetan's contention, and in the course
of his opinion says:
'It is evident from the care with which
coffee was excluded in the Foraker act
from the free list In respect to importa-
tions from foreign countries, and in re-
spect to importations from the United
States during the existence OF the 10 per
cent duty system, that it was the tnten-
ton of congress to recognize and protect
the coffee industry of Porto Rico. 1t can
hardly be doubted, also, that it was not
the purpose of congress that such pro-
lection should cease on the enactment
and installation of local system of
taxation in Porto Rico. The duty of .
cents per pound on coffee was, think,
distinctly a protective measure. But L
regret to say that l see no escape from
the conclusion that the broad and unre-
stricted provision of section 3, aDollShlng
"all tariff duties on merchandise and ar
ticles going into Porto Rico from the
United States" upon the enactment of a
local system of taxation, etc, embraces
the duty on coffee, as well as the duty
on any other sort Of merchandise. The
case seems to me to be one of mere IN
advertence on the part Of congress. Ihey
of coffee from the free list applicable as
we'll as the adoption of the new system
of taxation as during the existence or the
Is per cent duty system"

cable message has been received by the

Venezuela, in reply to a dispatch ad
dressed to the president asking him for
statement on the Venezuela-C Colombia
situation:
Caracas, Venezuela, Aug. lin the

reply to your cablegram in the follow
ing terms;
The. government of Venezuela, presided
over by Gen. Castro, is fully justified in
all Its works and actions. It is essentially
liberal in It's practices. It Is of the opin-
Ion that the Conservatives of Colombia
probably led by ruinous and wicked pas
SONS, have resolved to assist in a rev
olutionary movement against Venezuela
and her goVernn ent.
All of this has actually been proved by
the official publication issued by the cab
met in Bogota. They date from the LIST
OF April. This view has not been de-
MED either by the Conservative govern
ment OF Colombia, nor by her envoy ex-
itraordlnary and minister plenipotentiary

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 17.-President
Search. of the National Association of
Manufacturers, has called a meeting of
the executive committee of the organi-
cation for Sept. 4, for the purpose of TAX
ing up reciprocity. The subject will be
considered In all. its phases, and a call

as the result of dissatisfaction among
manufacturers, and the congress at its
next session will be asked to give the
desired relief. The sentiment of the man
ufacturers, says President Search. is in
favor Of securing treaties OF commercial
reciprocity with other countries with
view to the extension of Amer

in the past few months, he
says, Russia, Italy, and some other
countries, have dealt heavy blow to
our foreign trade by the levying of a
countervaluing duty It will be endeavor-
ed to show the congress that American
industries have suffered by the present
tariff laws and their interpretations, and
congress will be asked to give the re-
CURED remedy.
