Made and Duties Increased.
New York. June 21.-President Pal
ma and his cabinet have decided oa
plan which they hope will relieve the
economic situation in the country, says
Havana dispatch to The Tribune. A
message will be sent to congress prob.
ably next week for that body to pass
upon, which sets forth the comments
tions OF President Palma and the Sec
Tetary OF agriculture for the amelto-
ration of the conditions of affairs
This measure calls for the expendi.
ture of $3,500OO0, to be distributed
among the sugar growers and cattle
raisers. Three millions is to be ad-
vanced to sugar planters at the rate
of so cents an arroba, or 25 pounds,
to be returned in two installments IL
February and March. The cattle
breeders will be paid a premium of S.
for each COW imported for breeding
purposes up to 100000 Further than
this all such cattle will be admitted
free of duty
There also Is to be an increased tar
if on many articles imported now IN
der small duties. To raise money to
be distributed an internal loan, Sc
cured by bonds, will be necessary.
President Palma, in discussing the
matter, said:
''We are afraid the senate will not
act on the reciprocity question at this
session, and Cuba needs immediate
help. There are thousands of men
idle and the conditions are bad. We
must take some steps to save the sug-
ar industry and stimulate the cattle
industry, which we hope to bring back
TO it's former prosperous condition.
"The loan will be taken up in two
years. We have worked day and
night in the last month to improve the
prevailing conditions. Sugar growers
can secure no money from the banks
for the coming crop. so that the gov
ernment Is compelled to come to tlsir
rescue by loaning to them enough to
raise next seasons cane"

When the story of Chinese atrocities
filed the papers and shocked the world,
it was the women who drew the pity and
sympathy of all. Doubtless many wife
who heard her husbands s words of SYM
pathy for these women thought, with a
pang, of the blindness of men to the suf-
fering under their very eyes. 1t is true.
The suffering of women in China was
severe but short. Many a wife suffers
for years with daily agony of pain, her
nerves shattered, her strength almost
gone, and never hears word of SYM
pathy.
To women such as these DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription brings the oppor-
tunity of a new life of health and happi-

it would cause little surprise if the
