London, Aug. 16.-Col. Gerald c.
kitson has been appointed Governor

necessity of radical changes in the
administration of the college. 1t is
hoped that Col Kitson's study of the
West Point Academy while he was

COAL SCHOONERS TIED UP.

Thirty-twO Await at Baltimore
BnrSes They Can't Get.
Baltimore. Aug. 16.-Thirty-two
schooners, with a carrying capacity of
nearly $4,000 tons, are in this port
awaiting cargoes of soft coal. Some
of the vessels have been tied up for
nearly three weeks and, with poor
prospects of soon getting away.
Scarcity of rolling stock on the Bal
timore and Ohio, owing to the require
ments for moving grain in the West,
is assigned as the cause of shortage
of coal here. Very few vessels are be-
ing loaded, and it will be several weeks
before the schooners will be able 10
get away al the rate they are being
supplied with coal.

HEAVY DUTIES Will no coon
So Thinks La Discussion of New
Cuban Imports.

Havana, Aug. 16.-LaDiscussion. dis
cussing the increased customs duties
voted by the Senate, says they serve
three purposes: To increase the rev.
enue. to put Cuba in a better position
TO negotiate a commercial treaty with
the United States, and to protect local
industries.
The paper says the increase of so
per cent. in the duty on flour should
increase the receipts, which in 1901
were $500 202, to 1908, 1903 in 1908, though
the increase of 20 per cent. in the duty
on wines cannot be expected to pro-
duce $1,013,S00, which would be the pro-
purtlonate increase compared to 1901
The total increase in revenues from
the new customs duties, 1t is estimated,
will be 5000, 900.
