RICHMOND, Va, t'eb. 13.-"If Estrada
Palma, newly chosen president of Cuba,
ever lands on that island, there will fol-
low Immediately a revolution between
the whites and the blacks there which
will again tear the island to pieces" says
DR.. Leonel de Peau, now in this city. Dr.
de Peau has the honor of having been
physician to Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
now president during the war in the
island between the Spanish and American
forces.
Further, Dr. de Peau says that Palma
was never wanted as president by the
better element; and that the moment the
United States troops are withdrawn there
will be another conflict.
Annexation, says DIR. de Peau, is the
only solution of the present situation In
Cuba. Because Of the tariff against Cuba
sugar planters cannot move They have
no money and no means of raising any
without giving from is to % per cent on
1t, and he thinks the spirit of internal
dissension will tear the island to pieces
and that the United States will be COM
PEELED to take hold again. This is what Is
desired by the better element, Spanish
and Cuban alike he declares, and he is
now on his way to Washington to see
President Roosevelt, personal friend,
and ~ the execution CT his more direct
mission to tell him about the conditions
on the island.
Senor de Peau came to the United
States to see President Roosevelt per-
sonally about the loss of his family
fortune in Cuba. Vast tracts Of land
which Spain never owned, he says, have
been sold there, and among them the
private interests of hundreds Of residents
Of the island Now he says hundreds are
starving on the island and the United
States is pouring "a flood of labor there
instead of utilizing the labor at hand,
and the result is that, although some
three years have elapsed since lne close
OF the war, Cuba has made little progress
because Of the fact that there is no
money there.
Further" said DR.. de Peau, "the situ-
alton there is growing worse. With the

FIGHTING COMMISSIONS
PASSENGER AGENTS INSIST THAT
STEAMSHIP MEN MUST QUIT
PAYING THEM

CHICAGO, Feb. Blake steamship
companies and the railroads are engaged
in a struggle over the payment of COM
missions, which is likely to sever the
friendly relations that have hitherto
existed between them.
A secret meeting was held here today
at which were representatives Of the
passenger departments of nearly all the
Western and Eastern lines and Of all
steamship lines. The railroad men in
sisted that the payment of commissions
by steamship lines should cease and the
threat was made that if it o4d not, the
roads would withdraw their connections
with the lake transportation companies.
Neither side thus far has given ground
and the matter rests where it was
previous to the meeting. The representa-
tives of the lake lines insist that as
their season is short and competition IS
sharp they must pay commissions or fan
to get living buiness.

Charlton has given notice of the follow

house of cOmons:
THAT this house is of the opinion that
the Canadian port duties should be ar
ranged upon the principle of reciprocity
in trade conditions so far as may be
consistent with Canadian interest. That
a rebate of less than 40 per cent of
the amount of the duties imposed should
be made on dutiable imports from ma
tions or countries admitting Canadian
material products into their markets
free of duty, and that the scale of Cana
dian duties should be sufficiently high to
avoid injury upon Canadian interests in
cases where rebate of 40 per cent or
more shall be made under the conditions
aforesaid. >.
