MORE SUGAR TESTIMONY.
Truman g. Palmer and Heywsrd L. Leavitt
Before the Senate Committee ON
Cuban Relations,

Washington, June 1o.-Truman G,
Palmer yesterday gave further testi.
mony before the senate committee
on relations with Cuba. Senator
Platt. Of Connecticut, sought to have
the witness admit that he had over
estimated the output Of cane on the
Cuban lands owned by Americans.
Mr.. Palmer said that in cases where
it had been necessary to make esti-
mates he had not attempted to give
the present output Of the lands in
question because he did not know
whether they were in actual cultiva-
ton, but had only indicated the ca
pacity Of the lands.
Mr.. Palmer then was excused and
Hayward G. Leavitt, Of Nebraska,
was reintroduced to make a further
statement concerning the compare
tive price of sugar in the different
markets. He contended that his
former statement that the American
refners had absorbed the counter
vailing duties placed on European
sugars had not been disproved. Mr..
Leavitt said there is to-day much
less raw sugar than usual at this
time of the year in the United States,
and he drew the inference that the
American refiners had withheld their
bids because of the hope of securing
a reduction in price through the en-
actment of the pending legislation.
He concluded by saying that if he
did not believe, after a thorough and
conscientious investigation. that the
American refners would secure the
entire benefit of the proposed reduc-
ton, he would not oppose it.
