The secretary of war has called for
bids from private steamship COM
panies for furnishing transportation
for the government between New
York, Cuba and Porto Rico. The
idea is to see whether it is more eco
nomical to patronize them than to
continue the present transport service,
which is expensive. The dock charges
alone amount to $780, 600 year.
During the last three months 1,276
passengers and 5,726 tons of cargo
were carried by the transports. and
the quartermaster department knows
the exact cost, which has been very
large, single voyage costing from
$l2, 900 to SIS 1000 Bids are invited
for the next three months upon the
basis of the passengers and freight
carried during the last three months.

From Cuba in Any
Desired Shape.
Desired Shape
(Ey Associated Prcsg.)

WASHINGTON, March S.-The Presi-
dent to- day issued an executive order
abolshing the Cuban export duty on to-
bacco from April list next. This action
was taken on the earnest recommendation
of the Cuban Economic Commission,
which recently visited Washington, en-
dorsed by General Wood
General Woods approval of the aboli-
tion OF the export duty is practically An
expression of his belief that the Cuban
revenues from other sources are sufficient
for the needs OF the InSular Government.
The abolition OF the duty affects cigars
and cigarettes, as well as tobacco in leaf
filler or cut, all of the various classes
of tobacco, raw and manufactured, hay
ing heretofore been subject to various
rates of duty. That on cigars has been
$1.3o per thousand, on cigarettes in boxes
90 cents per thousand, cut tobacco s.. 10
per 100 itiloS. Leaf or filler tobacco $5.::;5
per 100 llilos, except that harvested in the
province of Santiago de Cuba, and eX-
ported through the custom house at
Santiago, Gibrara, which paid s. per 100
kilos.
1t is estimated that this abrosation of
duties Will cause an sSC0, geo to 81 1000, 900
loss in revenue per year, but it is said
that this VII! be offset by production.
The extent of the trade affected by the
order is Very large. the tobacco exports
amounting to about $4,000. 900 a year.
1t was announced at the War Depart
ment that the Secretary OF War has de-
cided that all provisions of the present
Cuban tariff. unless amended by proper
authority, shall remain in effect until
the proposed revision by the Havana
Commission becomes operative.

The country is TO be Gevided into six
districts, each representing an army

be disastrous. The government could
not hope to get rid of European entanSle-
ments. It could not shut out the posi-
bility of having to dispatch forces to de-
fend the British possessions abroad
The object in dividing the country into
six districts was to ceutralize the re-
sponsib,lity and deCentraii2e the adj

regulars would be stationed at Aldershot.

The government, III addition, proposes
to raise eight battaIons for garrison
duty from men about to enter the reserve,
to establish reserve militia and to raise
a force OF s., 900 Yeomanry to be armed
