The present had been about th'

done--actually sell his textbooks and

something, he thought, that struck

Fulano, as one having no defense,
offered not a word of explanation or

SECRETARY ROOT AND WOOD|
Cuban Amendment Discussed By Them Last Night.

General Wood Will Now Ease Up in
 His Efforts on the Cuban Constitu-
 tion Question-Ownership of the Isle
 of Pines May Be Source of Con-
 siderable Trouble.
 New York, Feb 27.-According to q special to the Times from Washington. Secretary Root was in communication with General Wood last night, and there was q long conference between them on the subject of the Cuban amendment to the army appropriation bill. The communication was by di- rect wire.
 The conference was a protracted one and in the course of it Secretary Root gave the governor the full text of the amendment. After hearing his views on the subject he gave him cer- tain instructions. the nature of which is not divulged. It is understood, though. that General Wood will now cease his efforts to, hurry the Cuban convention in it's formulation of d plan of international relations. Orig inally it was the design of the admin istration that the first proposition should come from Cuba, but now that the United States is taking the in- itiative there is not the same motive for haste that there was before.
 The principal reason for giving Gen. eral Wood the full text of the resolu- tiOns at once was to forestall con- ments on the American policy which would have resulted from a partial report of the amendment in the Ha- vana papers to-day.
 An erroneous impression seems to exist regarding the clause of the amendment which postponeS the QueS- ton of the ownership of the Isle of Pines and provides that it shall be de cided by treaty. It has been inti- mated that this indicates purpose on the part of the United States to claim the Isle of Pines or to hold ii for the eXaction of further favors. Ii is stated on high authority that the clause was inserted as a concession to the Cubans.
 The American right to the Isle of Pines is Undoubted. Spain having ceded it to us by the Paris treaty. But the Cubans have so plainly indicated their desire to possess it that the ad- minis tra ton proposes. as q compro. mise, to let the question go over until after the Cuban government shall be in opera tiOn

 10 Gents q Barrel

Washington. Feb P. A complete agreement has been reached by the republican conferees on the most inn portant items of the war revenue re- duction bill. On beer the house wins it's contention and the senate yields.

 The house also comes out ahead on bank checks. The house repealed the entire tax on checks, but the senate did not accept this action. The sen- ate cCnfereeS now concede the house provisions, The reduction in the rev enue will be $7,OOO,OOO account of this action.

NEW REVENUE LAW.
Affects Number of Staples of I'm
 nortance tO American pro1ucars

Affects a Number of Staples of I'm
 portance to American Producers.
 Washington. Feb 21.-The new rev enue law of Brazil. which went into effect on the first of the year. greatly affects number of staples of import ance to American producers. Import ant administrative changes also are made in the existing law and Consul Furniss at Bahia has supplied these to the state department.
 A remarkable provision of the law is the extensive power conferred upon the president For instance, he may do as he pleaSes with the government railroads, leasing or selling them. He may impose differential tariffs to se- cure concessions for Brazilian produce He also is authorized to impose q spe- cial duty on shipping to meet harbor improvements. to provide for the in Spection of insurance companies and to lease the MonaZite sands territory. Other legislation requires customs dues to be paid at least 9 per cent ill gold instead of 15 per cent. as at present. and makes number of important changes in the shipping relations.
 British Honduras also has made con- siderable changes in the tariff. as re- ported by Consul Avery from Belise. The new tariff reduces the duties on articles not specified from 12k to 10 per cent and slightly increases some specific duties.
