Sir Thomas Upton announced last night
that he intended giving his yacht good
speed trial with club tOpsail and all her
other racing canvas on. today The con-
ditions could hardly have been more pro-
pitious for besides the brisk wind, the
sea was a level stretch Of wavel"ts
with no swell at all and the sky was
piled mp with huge masses Of billowy
clouds which seemed laden with bounu-
fuI supplies Of club topsaH breezes.

The challenger bore around the point

NO CHANGE IN CUBA'S TARIFF.
Secretary Root Decides Net to Dis
tUrb the Affairs of the Island.

ttrb the Affairs of the Island.
Tt is probable that no revised Cuban
tariff viii be- put into operation by the
United States as was contemplated some
months ago Secretary Root has careful
ly enuuired into the situation in Cuba and
is Of the opinion that so long as the pres
eut conditions prevail it would be uuwise
t1 disturb the island by changing the tar
iH
Some months ago the President, yield
ing to petitions from Cuban merchants,
appointed "a board TO make mp new tar
iff. General Wood instructed the board
that the new schedules should provide for
q revenue Of $l5.000.O0O annually and a
new schedule was prepared, which was
subr.itted to Colonel Bliss. Collector Of
Customs Of Cuba. for a report as TO
whether it would yield a revenue Of Sl5,-
OOoO00.
Colonel Bliss has so far made no report
upon this subject and probably Will not,
as it is not the desire OF the War Depart
ment officials TO disturb the financial sit
uation by inaugurating a change al this
time.
The tariff now in effect is that promuI-
gated by the President over year ago
and which it was thoJ Eht would expire
the first Of April last. At the time 1t was
promulgated il was announced that 1t
would not be altered fer a year About
the first Of May, however, fl was decided
TO reduce the export duty on tobacco,
and, while Il was thought that this re
duction would greatly reduce the reve-
nues Of the island, such has not proved
To bc the case, and reports from Cuba
show that the island is getting along very
satisfactorily under the present tarin. 50
long as this condition continues. no
change is likely 70 be made.
