FLOUR TO CUBA
Pillsbury-Washburn HAN Discusses
the Duty Question.


the Duty Question.
Special to The Journal. -.-...
:, New York, Feb. 20.-George A. Zabris-
;kie, New York manager for the Pillsbury-
Washburn Flour Mill company, which Is
probably the largest exporter Of flour to
Cuba, has Just returned from tour of
hhat island. Discussing the question OF
reduction OF the import duty favorable to
enc United States, he said:
There need be no arguing on that score.
CUBA Will grant any concession we ask for
when at is considered how great a reduction
n the import duty on flour has taken place
since the Spanish regime. However, it hard
~ looks best to ask for further concession
Until four years ago the duty on barrel
OF -four was $780, To-day it is 81 a barrel.
Flour Is worth 81 a barrel. so the tariff is
only 70 per eent-about as small as could
we'll be asked for. The import duty which
we now place on Cuba sugar is 80 per cent.
Before we think Of asking poor little Cuba to
reduce it's duties ON United States imports
think 1t would be more fitting that we grant
them some reduction.
Leo ]. BUSY Of Holt & Co., which also
ships a large quantity of -four to Cuba,
said: 49,.
Whether they make a reduction or not is OF
little consequence to the -four exporters of
this country. The duty comes out of the
pockets of Cuban consumers and as there is
no competition to fight the American dealers
can arrange their prices to suit the duty.
l have no doubt they will grant whatever
concessions we ask for. but as far as our
trade is concerned do not think any will
be asked, ...

purely a Captains Fight.

In short, the question as to which Of the
two men, Admiral Sampson or Admiral
schley, was at the time in command. is Of
merely nominal character. Technically,
Sampson commanded the feet and schley, as
usual, the western division.
The actual fact, the important fact, is that
after the battle was Joined, not a helm. was
shifted, not gun was fired, not a pound
of steam was put on in the engfne-room
aboard any ship actively engaged, in obedi-
snce to the order of either Sampson or Schley,
save Of their own two vessels. It was a
captains fight.
Therefore, the credit to which each OF the
two is entitled rests on matters apart from

Good Word for. Clark.

Personally, feel that, 'irtsview of Captain
Clark's lorg voyage in the Oregon and the
condition in which he brought her to the
scene Of service, as we'll as the way In which
he actually managed her, before and during
the fight 1t would have been well to have
given him the Same advancement as was
given Wainwright.
E But, waiving this, it is evident that Vain
wright was entitled to receive more than any
of the other commanders; and that It was just
to Admiral Sampson that he should receive
a greater advance IN numbers than Admiral
Schley-sthsre was nothing sdone in the battle
that warranted any unusual reward for either.
In short, as regards Admlsals Sampson and
Schley, III Sind that Presidents Mckinley did

no warrant for reversing hisAction.
Both Admiral Sampson aud Admiral schley
are now on the retired lista In concluding

that no further action be had in the matter.

Merely a Technical Question.

The question of command is in this. case

have testified that they regarded him as pres
ent and in command He signalled "close
il" to the feet as soon as the first Spanish
vessel appeared, but his signal was not seen
by any American vessel. He was actually
under fire from the forts and himself fired
couple Of shots at the close Of the action
with the torpedo boats in addition to signal
ling the Indiana just at the close Of the
action.
During the action not single order from
him was received by any Of the ships. that
were actively engaged. Admiral Schley at the
outset of the action hoisted the two signals.

miral Sampson as to what should be done

Until after the close of the first portion
of the fight at the mouth OF the. harbor and
untl after he had made his loop and the
Spanish ships were fleeing to- the westward.
not another American ship noticed signal
from him. When the western pursuit began
the Oregon, and the Oregon only, noticed and
repeated one of HIS signals OF command. The
captain of the Oregon then regarded him as
in command, but did not in any shape or way
execute any movement or any action Of any
kind whatsoever in accordance with any order
from him.

| squadron; for so far as the actual fight was
concerned, neither one nor the other in fact,
exercised any command. Sampson was hard
ly more than technicalyl in the fight. His
real claim for credit rests upon his work
as commander-fn -chief; upon the excellence
| of the blockade = upon the preparedness Of
the squadron: upon the arrangement Of the
| ships head on IN a semi-circle around the

Blemish on Brook1yn's Record.
| Admiral schley is rightly entitled-as is
Captain Cook-to the credit of what the
Brooklyn did in the fight. On the whole, she
| did we'll: but agree with the unanimous
finding Of the: three adnlirals who composed
the court Of inquiry as to the "loop" 1t seri-
Fously marred the Brooklyn's otherwise excel
lent record, being, in fact the one grave
mistake made by any American ship that day.
Had the Brooklyn turned&the westward. that
| is, in the same direction that the Spanish
ships were going, instead of in the con-
|,trary direction. she would undoubtedly have
fbeen more dangerous for them as well as for
| her. j., =
| This kind OF danger must not be too nicely
weighed by those whose trade it is to dare
the danger was certainly not as great as
that which in the selfsame moment menaced
Wainwright's fragile craft as he drove for
ward against the foe. It was not. in my
judgment, as great as the danger to which
the Texas was exposed by the turn as ac-
tually made. It certainly caused both the
Brooklyn and the Texas materially, to lose
position compared, with the fleeing Spanish
vessels
But after the loop had once been taken,
admiral Schley handled the Brooklyn man
fully and well. She and the Oregon were
| then the headmost OF the. American vessels
though the Iowa certainly and seemingly
| the Texas also did as much In hammering
to standstill the Vizeaya, Oquendo and
Teresa; while the Indiana did all her east
ern position and crippled machinery per-;
mitted. Tn the chase Of the Colon the Brook
Ign and Oregon share the credit between,
them. .s..
Under such circumstances It seems to me-
that the recomm endatons, of President Nc
Kinley were eminehtly proper and that so
+ far as Admirals Sampson and Schley were
concerned It would have been unjust for him
to have made other recommendations.
