THE NEW CUBAN TARIFF
GOVERNOR GENERAL WOOD TO AP-
POINT A COMMISSION.
Rates VIII He Uniform Against All
Nations, Including the
United 9tates.

Action under the Spooner and Platt
amendments to the army bill will soon be
considered by the President and his ad-
visers. with a view to establishing per-
manent form Of government in the Philip
pines and harmonious relations with Cuba
1t Is recognized that an important and
exacting work is before the administra-
ton and advice will be sought from all
responsible quarters. The Philippine COM
mIssiOners, headed by Judge Taft, will be
asked 20 submit their views as promptly
as theroughness will permit. regarding the
form of government best adapted to the
various parts of the Philippine archipel-
ago. Work is already under way upon
new tarin systems, which will be an Incl
dental part of the American organization
Of the finances of the dependencies 1t is
hoped that tariffs can be put in op-
Grafton in both Cuba and the Philippines
some time during the summer The Phil
ippine tariff is already before the public
for suggestions, and amendments Will be
made at the War Department which seem
to be justified by the suggestions received
The date of April - has been set by Col
Edwards, chief of the insular division of
the War Department. for closing the re-
ceipt of suggestions and beginning work
upon the revision OF the rates. In Cuba a
board of five. of whom at least two will
be Cubans. will shortly be announced by
Governor General Wood to make a COM
plete revision of the tariff. 1t Is hoped
that the work can be completed before
June 10. when the present tariff expires
IL the new schedules will be complete and
ready to go into operation at 50 early
date. but it is expected that they will be
established some time in July. Mr.. Louis

ANCIENTS bad SENSE.
Dated Beginning of Year from
Opening Of Spring
When All Things in Nature Start
Afresh.
Some Other Things in Which the
Ancients Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year with
the advent of spring. How much more
appropriate thus to begin the New Year
with the new life OF nature in the
awakening spring. At this season all
processes throughout the natural world
start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacity and appreciation Of the great
changes and active processes of spring
time, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy in the
human system. They well knew that
the blood should be cleansed from
impurities and the nerves re-invigo-
rated at this season. Hence the estab-
lishment of the custom Of taking q
good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy Gus
tom is followed by almost everybody
at the present day, few people of in
telligence venturing to 60 through this
trying time of change from winter to
summer without taking a spring med
icine.
The unanimity on this subject il =
settled fact the only question hereto

CUBAN RADICALS HOPEFUL.
They Think the Plat Amendment
VIII Be Imperative.


A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
Although the political demonstrations have
ended, the radical element in the Cuban
constitutional convention has not given
up hope that the United States will recede
from the position taken regarding the Platt
amendment The radical press is doing
everything in it's power to keep this view
before the public. 1t attributes the action
of the United States Congress to the inf1u-
ence of the trusts, declaring that the
American people "are in favor Of giving
Cuba absolute independence and Of rebuk-
Ing the action of the administration. Ar
ticles from American newspapers which
seem to sustain the attitude of the conven-
ton are given wide publicity.
Senior Gualberto Gomez says in La Patria
"Let us, the champions of our country's
independence and sovereignty, preserve
the calm, dignifed attitude we have as
sumed.' Do not let us lose our calm Judg-
ment. Let us maintain our energetic reso-
luton to be Free but let us avoid furnish
ing the slightest pretext for the unhealthy
imperialism which Is corrupting the blood
of a generous people and inclining them to
trample upon our rights.
Let us still have faith in the justice Of
our cause and in the honor of the country
which produced Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln
At street corners in various public places
placards have been posted which read:
ITO the People of the United States:
"Do not make any promises that you are
not sure to keep, and never go back on
the word you have given.
GEORGE WASHINGTON"
This is recommended to the consideration
of "all worthy compatriots to the great
American"
Thus far the radical members of the con-
vention remain firm in their determination
not to accept the Platt amendment. The
committee on foreign relations will meet
tomorrow but final report is not expected
for several days. ...
