THE STATE DEPARTMENT ENDEAVOR-
ING TO SETTLE THE TARIFF con
TROVERSY AMICABLY.

Washington. June 22.-The State Department
has addressed to the Russian Government. as
represented by Count Cassn its ambassador
such representations respecting the sugar and
petroleum tariff controversy as are deemed
necessary To meet the Russian action. The
purpose of the letter is to smooth away. If pos
sibe, the friction that has been engendered be-
tween the two governments in the handling OF
these two subjects and in particular To divest
the exchanges OF any personal character To
that end said in Secretary Cages state
ment issued yesterday. effort is made 10
show that what has been done by the United
States Government brought about by the
automatic operation of the American tariff laws
The facts set out in the Treasury statement as
10 the provisions OF the countervailing duty
section of the Dingley law recited together
W. h the circulars and instructions OF the Treas

sian sugar Imports into tile United States. pas
ticuIar attention is given TO that subject and
reasons are adducetf TO bring the Russian Gov
ernment 20 believe II should remit the increased
duties American goods.
The Russian Ambassador received Secretary
Hays note this afternoon, and took steps 10
communicate II to the imperial government.
This closes the Incident for the present. and 1t
probably will be some weeks. or perhaps
months. before any further development occurs.
In the mean time Count Cassni will In person
discuss the subject with the officials at st.
Petersburg. and this gives hope OF a salts

no opportunity in his service in Washington 70

possible measure of cooperation between the
two countries. He will leave Washington on
Monday afternoon. and sail from NewYOrk on
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse on Tuesday. Mr..
Rogestvensky, the ambassadors confidential
diplomatic secretary, will accompany him. The
trip was arranged two months ago. and the
departure would have been made last month
had il not been for the pending negotiations in
China AS these indicate that the troublesome
indemnity question will be settled by July l, the
ambassador is at liberty to leave his post
here.
Count Cassini Is quite confident that no i'll
effect can come out of the tariff incident, and
his efforts will he directed toward removing this
and other small causes of irritation. Among
State Department officials 1t is felt 10 be fort
unate circumstance that Count Cassini Will be
in St Petersburg when the subject is taken up.

AN HAVANA PAPER SAYS IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT THE TRUTH BE KNOWN


Havana. June 22-With reference to the bonds
issued by the revolutionary government of Cuba,
the "Realidad" says that DIR. Estrada Palma was
the only person authorized 10 issue bonds, and
that il should not be difficult to obtain informa-
ton regarding the amount issued. Besides II is
alleged that statement of the number
issued and OF the amount of money received was
submitted TO the Senate Committee Foreign
Relations al the time of the Spanish by
Seniors Palma and Guerra.
The "Realidad" maintains that a cloud hangs
ever the issue. and that there is something mys-
teTious about the whole business and says:
II is important that the truth should be known
The republic cannot accept a debt of millions
while entirely ignorant of the purpose of the
issue. 1t does not suffice TO say the money
used to provide the revolutionary army with
supplies. These cost only a few thousand dol
lars. the greater part of the contribution being
made by planters, merchants and workingmen.
