A BRIEF ON THE SUBJECT SUBMITTED
TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Federico Degetau, resi-
dent commissioner from Porto Rico has iled with
the Secretary Of the Treasury a brief in support
Of his contention that under the provisions Of the
Foraker act a duty of five cents pound should be
imposed on all coffee imported into Porto Rico. In
the course OF HIS argument Mr.. Degetau says that
Section Of the Foraker act places the territory
Porto Rico in it's relation with foreign com
merce in our general tariff system. and immed-
ately follows with three provisos establishing the
exceptions peculiar 10 the island.
The first proviso directed that upon 6ll coffee i'm
ported into the island a duty of five cents pound
should be coected. The second and third provisos
direct that spanish scientific. literary and artistic
works shall be admitted free.
The plain purpose of these exceptions, it is con-
tended Is to establish the exceptions TO the gen
eral tariff system: Referring TO the President $
proclamation, Mr. Degetau says that its object and
purpose was not to abolish the duty imposed by
Section l of the act upon all coffee il has been
understood, but according to the language of the
law to repeal the Is per- cent duty on all mer-
chandse passing between the United States and
Porto Rico.
