declare that the strikers at Barcelo.
ma have attempted TO sack the town
market in that city. That troops
were stationed at the streets leading
to the market. That serious con-
Aict took place between the troops
and the strikers.
The strikers attempted to rush the
troops swho desperately defended
themselves, and when ordered to
sheet fired directly INFO the midst of
the crowd. Ten strikers were killed
outright with the first volley.
Fifty five were wounded, many of
them mortally, and three hundred
were placed under arrest. The 81
tuation at this time is very alarming
and re Inducements are being
hurried to assist the troops now

dicates that Congress will not bother
with the question of Cuban relief at
this session. The adherents of the
Cuban program have about given
up in despair. The Cuban Commit
tee has left Washington for New
York en- route to Havana. In an
interview published in a Washing
ton daily this morning. a leading
member of the Administration party
stated that the President and Sc
cretary of War had exhausted all
measures for the passage of a Cuban
relief bill, and that the action of the
lower House yesterday plainly in-
dicated that there was no desire to
pass any such measures. . 1t is gen.

War Tax Repeal Bill
Passes The House.;
About Eighty Millions Saved
To Taxpayers.
Cuba Left Entirely
Out Of The Question.
Tax On Wheat And Its Products
Still In Force.
SPECIAL cablegram to Boletin .Mercantil)

Especial cablegram to Boletin .Mercantil)
New York, February 18th. Ad.
vices received in this city to day
declare that the House at a very
late hour yesterday afternoon passed
the var tax repeal bill by very
large majority. The bill as finally
passed is almost the same as origin
ally recommended by the Ways and
Means Committee with the exception
of the clauses relating to wheat and
its products. The tax on this product
while still remaining, has been alter
ed both as to amount and the form
in which it should he paid.
All attempts to introduce the
Cuban tax or impost question into
the discussion of the bill failed. The
passage of this law means an annual
saving Of about eighty million
Dollars to tax payers all over the
country, mostly merchants and man
ufac'urers.
Notwithstanding the passage OF
the bill by the House it is generally
assumed that however complaisant
the House of Representatives might
be in accepting the revenue reduc-
ton programme of its Ways and
Means Committee, the Senate would
take an entirely different attitude,
radically changing the measure.
This, the more enthusiastic protec.
tionists of the House declare to day,
will not be the'case they profess to
believe that the Senate will pass the
Payne bill in substantially the
present form, and they quote SEN
ator Allison as an authority for their
prediction. The argument in favor
OF it there will be the same one
presented in the House Committee
that flat repeal OF the war taxes
would avoid opening Iup the vsxed
tariff controversy, carrying with it
indirectly an internal revenue and
a Cuban controversy. This predic.
ton is SO contrary to the general
expectation and the quoted views
of many Seua orial leaders that it
naturally occasions surprise.
