Obligation Laid On Cuba.

In return for this concession. the Cuban
government is required to make an equal
cut in the duties upon American products
imported into that island. and. stranger
than all, 1t is made obligatory upon Cuba
to enact immigration laws similar to our
own for the exclusion of cheap labor.
The underlying motive of this legisla
tion is not. said the Nevada Representa-
tive. very hard to find. In the first place.
the Republican party, in utter disregard
of the Teller resolution. has sharply cur
tailed the independence of Cuba by forcing
upon it the adoption of the Platt amend
ment. By this amendment the United
States is given certain supervision over
the treaty making and debt-contracting
power of the Cuban government. also the
right to intervene for the preservation OF
order and good sanitation. besides which
we are to have military and naval sta
tions on the Cuban coasts.

The difficulty of the Commission in get

posts in the Philippines still continues
In view of this fact the letter OF the board
which is in the island. outlining the con-
ditions there, should be of material as
sistance in enabling the Commission to
enlist recruits
In its letter to the Commission the
board states that unless the Spanish

Women Stenographers Not Wanted.
The Commission is informed that it is
not advisable to appoint large numbers ii
women to positions as stenographers AMI

the board is unable to state them with

Accompanying the latter were num-

received in one days mail by the Philip

aminatons. The object in sending these
enquiries in this form was that the Com
mission might issue a statement which
could be used as an answer to all of
them.
The manual of information printed by
the board contains information relative to
the conditions under which appointments
are made to the Philippine civil service
The scope and character of the principal
examinations are outlined and much in
formation is given upon other matters
which are usually the subject of corre-
