taken by our government. |. is stated
that there is no hurry even in the event
that IL shall be decided to invite Great
Britain to join us in fresh negotiations
as to the isthmian canal, congress not
being in session to consider "a treaty.

there will be further negotiations soon

EXPORT DUTIES OFF.
Cuban Tobacco Can Leave The Island

The president has issued an execu-
tive order abolishing the Cuban export
duties on tobacco from April / next.
This action was taken on the earnest
recommendation OF the Cuban economic
commission, which recently visited
Washington, and WAS Endorsed by ten
eral Wood, A previous order had been
issued fixing an export duty Of so per
cent on Cuban tobacco from April /.
Today's action removes the export
duty entirely.
General Woods approval of the abol-
ition of this duty is practically an ex-
preston of his belief that the Cuban
revenues from other sources are suffi-
cient for the needs of the insular gov
eminent. The original idea was that
the tobacco tax was necessary TO fully
meet the financial requirements OF the
government.

Lord Kitchener has been authorized to
offer amnesty to both the Beers and

cry is clearly proven. Cape rebels are
only to be punished by disfranchise
ment.
Loans are to be granted 10 the
Beers for rebuilding and restocking
their farms, and, finally, the govern
ment will offer to establish some kind
of civil government as soon as all the

y The black cloud had been hanging
in the southwest all morning. The at
mosphere was heavy and at intervals
there had been clustering showers Of
rain. II was just at noon when there
was a roar of rumbling thunder, a puff
of wind, and the air was thick with
flying timbers. The storm came from
the southwest and held to a straight
northeast course. Its path was about
800 yards wide. 1t struck the north
west quarter of the town in the resi-
dence section. No house is left whole.
Those that are not irreparably ruined
are in the minority. Most OF them are
demolished. Household furniture and
utensils are strewn farther than the
Eye can reach and they mark the
