THE CUBAN SUGAR QUESTION
[San Francisco Chronicle.I

San Francisco Chronicle.l
The advocates of promoting the in.
terestS of the sugar trust at the ex.
pense of our sugar producers by the
reduction of duties on Cuban sugar
seem to be despairing of success. At
any rate they have now made another
proposition which is well calculated,
II adopted, to get us into hotter mess
than anything which have yet fooled
with. German and Austrian sugar is
controlled by trusts which are able, un.
der the tariff laws, to compel the con.
sumers of those countries to pay for
sugar at prices which enable a bounty
to be paid from the trust treasury on
all sugar sent out of the country.
These bounties are not, as in Russia,
the result of legislation limiting pro.
duction for domestic sale, and provid.
ing, by law. methods by which 1t can
be made profitable to pay export boun,
ties. They are purely trade arrange,
ments, such as are possible and in
lact practiced by our own trusts, which
dump surpluses on foreign countries
at cost or less. The bounties paid by
these "kartels," as they are called, are
in addition to the Government boun.
ties. Against the Government boun.
! ties we now levy "countervailing
duty" and the proposition of the sugar
trust Is that we increase that duty by
the amount Of bounty paid by tho
trusts.
1t is evident that this Is to invite
tariff war which would be promptly
forthcoming. II would, 1t is said, by
raising our duty on sugar from our
largest sources of supply, be equiva.
lent to reduction of 20 per cent in
the duty on Cuban sugar and would be
satisfactory. Probably the proposal
has no chance of serious considera.
ton, and the fact of its presentation
Is perhaps only evidence that the su.
gar trust does not expect to secure di.
rect concessions for Cuban sugar. II
ought not to secure them. The Cuban
planters are doing well enough. In
1900 the average price of sugar ex
ported from Cuba, nearly all of which
| came to this country, was 200 cents
per pound. That was more than the
German manufacturers received In
1899, which was considered a prosper
NAe ~ Nv "'Ni"bN piiNN OpNaii'h
by Germans for the year was 2.24
cents, which, as we understand 1t, in
cluded bOunties. II was the price
received by the factories. Our Consul
at Magdeburg reported in August, that
being the end Of the season, that "the
good prices secured for raw sugar dur
ing the month of August (2.43 cents
per pound more than compensated
for the low prices ruling earlier in the
season." II the German people, with
their stubborn soil and cold winter
climate, involving many expenses can
produce raw sugar at 2.24 cents a
pound and call it very satisfactory,
and consider 2,43 cents a pound a
really good thing, then the Cuban peo
pie, with warm climate, a low stan,
dard Of life and without necessity for
planting oftener than once in three
years, have no business to pose as
paupers when they can sell all they
produce at 2,GO cents per pound. And
| especially they have no right to ex
pect us to engage in commercial war
in order that they may get more.

DEALING WITH CARTHS

London, Feb S.-The delegates to
the international sugar conference ara
cow more hopeful OF a successful out
come of their labors than at any pre-
vious stage of the proceedings, II APP
pears that Great Britains threat Of
imposing countervailing duties, back.
ed up by similar representations from
France, has worked so well that vari.
Gus delegates have found /. necessary
to reconsider their position. The pres
ent delay is chiefly due to Austria,
whose delegates were compelled to re.
turn to Vienna for further instruG
tions. That all the bounties and car.
tells will be abolished is scarcely eX'
pected, but the British authorities be
lieve that the condition of the industry
must be greatly improved If the com,
promise arrangements which are now
under consideration by the govern.
ments are accepted.

RETURN INDEMNITY MONEY

Chiago. Feb. "A special to the
Record.Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain has announced her de-
termination to abide by the policy de-
termined upon by the United States
with respect to the return to China
of that portion of the Boxer indem-
nifty which may be in excess of actual
injuries and expenses. This declnra.
ton is stated in a report of W. w.
Rockhill, late Commissioner to China,
which will be made public in few
days.
THE British Government proposes"
Rockhill states, ito return to the f1nan-
cial committee at Shanghai to be
| disposed of as the powers decide. any
balance of its share of the indemnity
in excess Of the adjusted claims -
Great Britain's share OF the elGr.
nous indemnity demanded of CHM
was $25,SOO,000. During the negotia-
tons the British Government was op
posed to the eXaction of such a sum
as would embarrass the Chinese Gov.
eminent, and Rockhill reports that she
suggested the scaling of the indem.
nifty to S250000.000, China to make n
loan in the open market sufficient tn
pay half of that amount, and to make
arrangements with the powers as to
the mode and time of the payment of
the other half. But the British. as
well as the American, proposal to fix
the indemnity at $250.000,0O0 was not
adopted by the diplomatic corps.
Subsequently Great Britain suggest.
ed that the indemnity be fixed at
1927, 100000. Secretary Hay author,
lied Rockhill to accept the British
proposition If nothing better could be
agreed upon. 1t failed, however, in
consequence of its abandonment by
the British Government, and the pow
ers then agreed to demand an indem
nifty of 1897, 100000.

GERMANY WAS FRIEND
WHO BLOCKED BRITISH

Berlin. Feb. S.-The critics OF Great
Britain here are disposed to let Lord
Pauncefotes note of April IA, 1898.
drop with the explanation, cabled from
Washington. but nothing unfriendly to
the United States was meant thereby
They say the fact stands that Great
Britain did initiate a second proposal
, for European remonstrance. Tho
explanation that President Mckinley
was privy to Lord PaunCefote's pur'.
pose and approved the British appeal
before it was made, is not accepted
here. A person who is in position to
know the opinion of the German For
eign Office, said: I'VE are disinclined
to discuss Lord Pauncefotes motives,
We simply nail the fact that Lord
Pauncefote took step unpleasant for
the United States and II was Germanys
refusal to participate that frustrated
the movement. Moreover, documen,
tary proof that Great Britain took such
a step exists in the files OF European
cables"
The Berliner Neuste Nachrichten
prints a statement regarding Lord
Pauncefote's note of April IA, 1898,
similar to the one given above, adding:
Let the people of England and Ameri-
ca believe this and not compel official
quarters in Berlin to prove the truth OF
the statement made here by publishing
documents. All the suspicious raised
against Germany in this matter must
fall fiat to the ground before the india
putable facts"

B. c. Pettingill has invented gly-

of the invention is a secret, and Pettin-

the device. The matter will be con-
sidered by the ordnance department.
The invention, Pettingill says, is a
shell that will carry without the least
conclusion from fifty II two hundred
pounds of glycerine oil as far as the
ordinary shell can be fired by ordinary

ing the existence of a state of war and the dismissal of the present fictition.
 senor Ojeda.t the Spanish minister. and Baron Monecheur. the Belgian minister, have not received official advices rela- tive to the joint note their Governments have addressed to President Castro ask ing that in the event of a settlement of the claims of the allied powers, Spain and Belgium be given similar treatment. D The Spanish minister denies that there Is the slightest probability of further ac- ton on ths spart of Spain unless events in Caracas make 1t necessary for the Spanish representative to withdraw.
 Minister OJeda does not anticipate this in view of the strong ties of frisn6ship that exist between his Government and the South American Republics. Baron Moncheur regards the position of his country as thus far neutral but in case circumstances change this attitude, 1t is likely that Minister Bowen will be re- quested to look after Belgian interests in the. Venezuelan capital, Belgium hav- ing no navy, 1t will not be possible for that country to join the naval demon stration of the allied fleet.
 Minister Bowens position Is realised to be one of extraordinary dificulty. He is now in charge of the interests of Great Britain. Germany. Italy and Holland. besides those of the United States, and nay be called upon to take charge of those of the remainder of the European countries, with the possible exception of France, which remains on pleasant rela- tions with Venezuela
