MINISTER sQUIERs REPORTS.
Cuba's Receipts for August Less Than
the EXPENSES.

The State Department made public today
an interesting mail report from United
States Minister Sauiers at Havana, dated
portant happenings in the Island of Cuba.
The minister states that the house of rep
resentatives has passed a measure increas-
ing the duty paid by coffee from s12I5 to
$50 per 100 kilograms. The measure, he
says, is intended for the protection of the
coffee growers of Santiago province
Cuba has been recognized by the republic
of Bolivia, a communication to that effect
having been received at Havana from the
Bolivian minister for foreign affairs Auto
graph letters of recognition Of the Cuban
republic have been received from the EN-
peror of Austria, the King of Greece and
the President Of Brazil.
An important portion of the minister's
report Is statement showing the receipts
and expenditures of the Cuban government
from August to August IS. 1862. The re-
ceipts for this period are set down as
4i6A2-a difference of So, 129.41. On July
81, however. the amount on hand was
81 061. 1852, and that left over amount.
together with the receipts during August,
gives a balance of 1884 .027.41.
Mr.. Squiers states that the efforts of the
Cuban government to have the Spanish gov
eminent of1cially take up the Isabel coins,
fractional coins which are In lcirculatiOn
In Cuba-were futile, The Spanish Bank,
however, he says, announced that the coins
would be received from September TO Is,
1902, at a 8 per cent discount.
The minister reports that the strike Of
the stevedores, lightermen and ldraymen
has been satisfactorily Terminated through
