Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association Op-
posed to Free Trade with Cuba.

NEW YORK, May THE third annual
conference of the National Cigar Leaf
Tobacco Association was continued this
afternoon. John r. Young. of Illinois. pre-
sided. One resolution presented said the
association was credibly informed that
manufacturers in various parts of the coun-
try. and notably in Cincinnati were doing
a leaf tobacco business without having
paid the special tax required of dealers in
leaf tobacco; that they avoid this tax by
taking refuge under the section OF the law
which permits manufacturers to sell TO
other manufacturers such leaf tobacco as
may be unsuitable for their own use.
The following resolution was passed TO
meet this situation: THAT the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association protests
against the continuance of this evil and
requests the internal revenue authorities
TO investigate the matter and TO apply the
proper remedy. so that all manufacturers
of leaf tobacco and leaf-tcbacco dealers
shall be on an unprejudiced and equitable

OPEN MART MOVEMENT.
Proposition of the United States Ap-
proved by Several Other Powers.

WASHINGTON, May Tt has devel-
oped. that the movement for the extensive
opening of China TO foreign commerce and
trade has the approval not only of the
United States and several other leading
powers, but also of Chinese officials. About
the only doubt as TO the formal position OF
China is that caused by the Empress dow
ayers recent creation of council of state.
How far this council will have authority
TO check the action of the peace plenipo-
tentiaries is not yet clear, but the nego-
tiations are proceeding with the prospect
of uniting the various branches of the
Chinese authority in support of the present
plan. The attitude of Russia also is the
source of some solicitude, although the ne
gotiations are being so framed as to OBJ
viate any objection which Russia might
raise if the opening of commerce was TO
apply principally to Manchuria.
BERLIN. May THE Lokal Anzeiger,
commenting upon the announcement from
Washington that the United States govern
ment is working towards the opening of all
China to the trade of the world, assumes
that plan includes Manchuria, and adds:
Here we have new points of friction which
do not concern Germany inasmuch as she
has no interests in Manchuria.' The pa
pers generally print the Washington re-
port.

CUBANS MAKE REPORT
TELL OF THEIR RECEPTION BY
OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON.
Little Doubt that the PIatt Amend
/ ment VIII he Accepted by the
Havana Convention.

HAVANA. May THE special committee
OF the Cuban constitutional convention,
which returned here from Washington May
5. made no recommendations TO the conven-
ton Although the majority of the COM
missioners are in favor of accepting the
Platt amendment, the report covered only
the facts of the conference at Washington.
The commission, at the secret session, to-
oay presented an extensive report of their
conferences with President Mckinley and
Secretary Root and a glowing account Of
the banquets and receptions rendered them.
Senor Gilberga objected TO Incorporating
an account of the social programme in the
report, but the commission insisted on this
point.
In reference TO the third clause of the
Platt amendment the report stated that
the United States would not intervene un-
less Cuba were attacked by foreign
power or unless there existed in Cuba a
condition of affairs similar to that which
existed under Spain at the time Of Amer
lean intervention.
Regarding coaling stations, the report set
forth that the places so desired by the
United States were Capes Maysi and San
Antonio and other points commanding the
entrance TO the Gulf of Mexico. These
would be definitely determined on when
drawing up the treaty, and the object
of these stations would be the maintenance
of the independence of Cuba, we'll as
the protection of the United States.
The report also said that the United
States would in no way interfere in the
local government, and that President Nc
KinIey had promised TO appoint commits
sion TO meet a Cuban commission TO discuss
the economic question and 10 draw up a
commercial treaty as soon as the republic
is established, and that he advised the Gu
bans in the meantime TO study the situa-
tion in this respect. - The report announced
that Secretary Root had said there was
nothing in the Platt amendment TO prevent
cuba having diplomatic representatives in
foreign countries
The report has evidently made a good i'm
preston. and only few radicals will con-
tinue to oppose its acceptance.
Senior villuenda, in an open letter declar-
ing his intention TO accept the amendment
said he first thought that. il the conven-
ton rejected the amendment. Washington
might change its policy, as he then be-
Iieved the amendment was the work OF
n party Il now believe" says Senor Vii
Iuenda, THAT the amendment is the work
OF the Nation There is use in objecting

or a republic with an amendment. and /

ernment. by insisting upon the amendment,

day.

Warning Of a Briton at Meeting of
LeyIand-Line Shareholders.

LONDON, May simultaneously with
to-day's meeting of the Leyland line share
holders to vote on the agreement with J..
Pierpont Morgan comes reiteration OF
the statement that the Morgans are about
to acquire the Red Star line, well as the
Atlantic Transport line. The report WAS
denied, however. The Leyland line share
holders unanimously confirmed the Morgan
Ellerman agreement. Mr.. Ellerman severe
ly criticised the antiquated British navy
laws, which put British vessels at an in
creasing disadvantage in competition with
foreigners.
Mr.. Mattinson said the Americans were
evidently in the transatlantic trade to stay.
Trade does not follow the flag. 1t follows
capital And conditions favor their success.
The fact that this purchase has been
possible should be grave warning to Great
Britain TO revise the navigation regula-
tions, which threaten her supremacy.
