The Cubans of Havana Homer Our
 Navy.
 HAVANA, Dec. 26.-A banquet was given to the officers of the United States fleet yesterday by the Cuban veterans. 1t was q grand demonstra- tion of gratitude on the part of the Gu bans toward the American navy. Gen. eral Carlos Garcia presided. Governor General Wood in proposing toast to the future republic said that when the fleet came again it would find a stable government in Cuba.
 Rear Admiral Higginson thanked the Cubans for their grand outpouring of hospitality and said that the presence of the fleet had no special significance and certainly no political one. It was q source of satisfaction to him, he de- clared, that the navy had been an inn portant factor in bringing about peace in the island.
 Captain McCalla paid high tribute to General Garcia, who had co-operated with him at Santiago, and to the Gu bans for their courage and fortitude during the war.
 According to telegrams printed in Se- nor Estrada Palma's official organs, General Gomez is faring badly on his political tour in favor of Palma. In the Puerto Principe province his meet ings have been broken up, he has been greeted with shouts of ''Traitorv' and stones have been thrown at him. Gen. eral Gomez is mounted on the same horse he used during the war and is accompanied by band of veterans. The Maso feeling is running strong in Puerto Principe.
 The Nacion says Gomez is paid by the government to stump the country. He is met with that accusation on ey- cry hand. Maso's followers have with drawn every one of their candidates, and the feeling in places is bitter.

BREWERS REQUEST.
Internal Revenue Must Be Paid ol

Internal Revenue Must Be Paid on
 Philippine Goods Sent Now.
 Washington, Dec 26-Having the impression that the supreme courts decision changes the regulations con cerning internal revenue taxes on Philippine goods, one of the big Mil waukee brewing companies sent tele- graphic request to the secretary of the treasury for official information rela- tive to the present requirements for paying these charges on forty carloads of case beer which were boxed and ready for shipment to the Philippines. One of the treasury authorities said in reply that until congress enacts some direct law affecting the Philippine cus- toms, which is likely to be done in January, officials will continue to de- mand internal revenue assessments on exports to the Philippines, just as they did before the decision regarding the status of the islands was handed down. Eventually, officials say, the internal revenue taxes will be removed from goods exported to the Philippines, and those already collected will be re- turned to the payer on proper certiilca- ton of the claims. In the meantime, uOWGNGT, Lup TcfRiluG ItAtS ilu5l Oc paid, and when congress legislates it will be possible for the exporters to get drawback from the customs off cers for the amounts due them.
 Tn connection with refunding duties collected on goods brought into this country from the Philippines when no protest was made, one of the officials of the treasury expressed the opinion that congress would authorize the re- funding of these duties, and that pro- vision will be made in the next few weeks for the settlement of all claims for tax rebates, including internal rev. enue and tariff, over which there has been so much controversy in the last six months. Tn view of this expected action of congress it is not thought likely that the comptroller of the treas ury will give an opinion, as requested, regarding the existence of an appropri- ation act under which the duties on Philippine merchandise brought into this country paid without protest could be refunded

A CONFLICT INVERTED.

 Chile and Argentine Sign an Agree
 ment.
 BUENOS AYhA1S, Dec. 26.-A dis patch from Santiago, Chile. says that after fresh conference held last even ing between President Riesco, Foreign Minister Yanez and Senor Portela, the Argentine minister, the new agree. ment was signed, the lrtest modifica- tons to the former proposals being ac- cepted.
 The newspapers say the new proto- col between Chile and Argentina dis pels the immediate danger of war, but that the remedy is not permanent. The armies of the two countries in the meantime are continuing their warlike preparations. Chile has decided upon the erection of new Notifications at Talcahuano and Punta Arenas.
 At q secret session of the Chilean senate Tuesday the government de- handed authority for the expenditure of $l5,o00,oo0 in preparations for de- fense. The sitting was an exciting one, but it was finally decided to au- thorize the floating of a loan for that purpose.
 According to the Diario and the Com mercio, Argentina for her part, in view of the new naval acquisition by Chile, has decided upon the construc- ton in Italy of two warships of 5000 tons, to be ready by the end of 1902. A dispatch from Santiago, Chile says that Prime Minister Tocornal, re- plying to an interpellation in the cham Der of deputies, said the statement that new agreement between Ar gentina and Chile had already been signed was premature. but that com munication had been forwarded.

CASE OF MRS GRIFFEN.
She Was Denied the Poor Debtor
 Oath at New Hayen.

Oath at New Haven.
 Mrs Mary E. Grlffen of this city who has consistently refused to pay Undertaken W. F. Tomlinson $150 for the burial of her daughter Annie. has been condemned to jail by Justice F. NJ. Peasley, thus. denying her the priv ilege of taking the poor debtors oath. This case promises to become famous. It is the first of it's kind i'll the state. Mrs Griffen refused to pay the under taker above named for her daughters funeral Proceedings were taken against her and she scoffed at them. She scared a sheriff when she was wis iting in Litchfield, so that she escaped arrest for fraud for the time being But another sheriff who had more pluck than the first one brought her to the district court and Judgment was given against her. By one step and another ill the courts, the original bill of $150 ran up to almost $500. She repeatedly said she would rot in Jail rather than pay penny of the bill. There was nothing unjust about the bill. She engaged the undertaken herself to conduct the funeral of her daughter, but further than that refused to negotiate with him. The day she was taken to jail, which is now more than a month ago, she took particular care in donning her widows weeds. A friend volunteered to make some ar- engagement with the undertaken by which the bill would be paid, but Mrs Griffen would not listen to the sugges- ton. Her son-in-law, Frederick War ner, and her counsel, J. J. O'Neill, ac- companied her to jail She refused to accept liberty on her son-in-law's bail, but after an hours confinement changed her opinion. She was then admitted to the liberties of the jail, thus throwing herself upon her own resources for support. Had she re- mained in jail, her creditor, the under taker, would have to support her. Jus tice McGrail of New Haven heard her prayer to take the poor debtors oath and granted 1t. The undertaken ap- pealed and that appeal was heard Tuesday by Justice Peasley in New Haven. Mrs Griffen stated that she had spent all the money she had. $1,000, within the past year. In sum- ming up the respective items it was found she had spent more than $1,0O0.' Consequently the justice said her story was unworthy and denied her the poor debtors oath. An appeal has been taken to the superior court. Attorney Church represents Undertaken Tomlin- son.

Labor Leaders Oppose Importation
 From London.

Pittshurg, Pa, Dec 26.-Announce- ment of the selection of Edwin Lemare Of London as city organist to succeed the late Frederick Archer, at a salary of S4,OO0 year, has caused the labor leaders to raise the question of viola tlon of the contract labor laws. MT Lemare is at present the organist of St Margaret's church. London, and there Is considerable i'll feeling over the failure of the institute trustees to select an American organist.
 In addition to the contract labor law point, which the trustees say will not stand, labor leaders say that, as he is an alien, MT Lemare is not eligible to hold city position, the salary be- ing paid by the city.
