 Senor Tamayo's report was in line with the Platt amendment allowing the United States to make Cuba a base of operations in case of war, in return for which the United States should guarantee the permanent independence of Cuba, but should not intervene ex- ot 1o of +1,o gress.

TO STOP MULE SHIPMENTS.
The British War Office Instructs Its
New Orleans Agent.

NEW ORLEANS. April 5.-The British
War Office has cabled to its agents at
New Orleans to make no further pur-
chases of mules and horses for South Af-
rica, but to close up their business here.
They were also instructed to hurry for

rapidly as possible. May has been fixed
as the date for the closure of business
here.
1t is stated by the British officer here
that the closing of the New Orleans office
is not due to the suit brought in the
court by General Pearson and Edward

the shipment of mules to the British
army in South Africa be prohibited by
injunction. as the order was issued be-

The total number of horses and mules

THE HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE.
Legislative Relief Sought Through
Senator Raipes' Measure

| senator Raines' Measure.
! NEW YORK, April 5.-The bill intro
| duced in the Senate by Senator Raines
and known as the Raines Bridge bill has
! for its nominal object the Improvement
! of commerce at the port of New York.
Its real object is to enable the New York
and New Jersey Bridge Company, of
which Gen. James S. Clarkson is presi-
| dent, to begin the construction of bridge
| across the Hudson River from that part
of New Jersey known as West New York
to the foot of West Fifty-ninth Street,
| Manhattan
The bridge company has acquired prop
erty for it's New Jersey and New York
approaches. 1t has also acquired all
rights of way for it's passenger business.
| What 1t has been trying to get from the
| city authorities is u right of way for its
freight traffic
According to amended plans the bridge
will be what is known as a double-decked
viaduct. On the lower deck full gauge
railroad will be built, over which regular
steam. freight, and passenger trains will
run The upper deck will be used for a
trolley line. bicycles, and wagon traffic.
and accommodation will be made for foot
passengers.
From the foot of Fifty-ninth Street an
elevated railroad structure will be built
to West Fifty-second Street. AT that
point the road will cross Eleventh Ave
nue. and run along between F'iftieth and
Fifty-first Streets to Ninth Avenue
where it will run through a union station
and on to Broadway. where passengers
will be discharged
Rights and privileges for constructing
the elevated railroad structure and the
gfafa
the idea being to run trains from all rail
roads with Eastern terminals in Jersey
City, Weehawl1en, and Hoboken over the
bridge to New York
But besides this the bridge company
wishes to have facilities for taking care
of it's freight business, and to that end it
purposes to construct steel viaduct
from the foot of Fifty-ninth Street south
along the marginal street or wharf west
of West Street to the Battery.
It Is the purpose of the bridge company.
If it can acquire the necessary rights and
privileges, so to construct it's steel via
duct 20 the Battery that when it reaches
West Street it's easterly line will be FIVE
feet west of the west line of West Street.
OF course. If such a viaduct was construct
ed it is easy to see that the advantages
accruing to New York commerce might
be much greater than the loss of such
parts of the marginal street to the pub
lie would be taken up by the supports
of the structure.
SO far as anybody knows the only per-
sons opposed to the bridge company's pro-
ject are some of the city officials. A year
or two ago a committee reported to the
Sinking Fund Commission that a proper
return to the city for the rights and privi-
leges asked for would be 4 per cent for
the first five years. per cent for the sec
ond five years. and per cent thereafter.
The company said that it was willing to
accept the suggestion made in the report,
but since then the Sinking Fund Com
mission has held the matter up, and be-

BRADSTREETS ON THE WEEK.
The Spring Trade Outlook Consid.
cred Generally Encouraging.


NEW YORK, April 5.-Bradstreet' to-
morrow win say:
Speculative activity seeking express
sion In the markets FOR securities. cereals.
raw cotton and some hog products. has
rather tended TO obscure interest in gen
eral dstributive trade. which has. how
ever. been temporarily disturbed. in re-
tail lines at least. by widespread unfavor-
able weather conditions.
While the general tendency of this
speculation has been ,bulish. a marked
exception was that furnished by bearish
movements in wheat and corn, which
have lowered the level of these products
for the time being. The general consensus
is that retail Easter trade has been to
some extent eurtailed by rains i'm the
cities, and bad roads in the country dis
tricts, but, as above noted these are
really only temporary phases, and the
general outlook alike as to crops and as
to spring trade as a whole. is in a high
degree encOurag ging.
Additional evidence as to the results
of the first quarters business coming TO
hand this week confirms this latter view.

The textile trades continue a source
of encouragement to manufacturers, but

recurring weakness, shows that at pres

that staple has developed some friends
Liquidation of tired holders in wheat and
a drive against the leading Chicago bull
interests in corn have brought about
lower range of values, but it is worth
noting that heavy export business has
been done in wheat at the decline, and
both of these cereals closed above the
lowest.
Weather conditions, except in the
Northwest, have been rather unfavor-
able to planting and ground preparation.
This is particularly true in the South.
where cotton planting is retarded. Cot
