GERMAN CLAIMS A
PUZZLE TO CUBA

HAVANA, July 1.-The first public
reference to the German claims against
Cuba mentioned 10 the Cuban consul
general at Hamburg by the German for
eign secretary, Baron Won Richthotea,
and of the nature of which nothing is
known here, was made yesterday after
noon in the Discussion" a government
organ, which in an editorial said: III
it is true that Germany intends TO pre-
sent claims against Cuba the senate
should ask itself whether It would not
be advisable that the final decision on
the German communication should fn1
us with our relations with the United
states finally agreed to, for although
this may be a simple question, which.
in our opinion. has an emphatic reply
in the treaty of Paris, it may be a new
pretext taken by Germany to find the
ticklish spots of the Monroe Doctrine"

GREAT BRITAIN WOULD
LOSE IN LONG RUN
Colonel Brigham Talks of Differ
entail Tariff Rates.

Joseph II. Brigham. Assistant Secre-
tary Of Agriculture. does not think that
the scheme OF Colonial Secretary Joseph
Chamberlain to establish differential
tariff rates between England and her
colonies will be accepted by the English
people. Colonel Brigham believes II i'm
practicable. but admits that IL II were
put into operation the loss to American
farmers would be great and number Of
them would seek other methods OF earn
ing living.
Last year the United States had a
surplus Of agricultural products Of about
$3.50 000.0 600 and most OF that went to the
British. The great surplus Of agricul-
tural products in the English colonies
has not been sufficient in past years 10
feed the people OF Great Britain and
when they are hard pressed the United
States has always had to come to the
rescue. as in the case of the Indian
famine. To shut of the American
products would raise the price OF food
stuffs in England TO an appreciable ex-
tent and would cause a fierce protest or
the part Of the masses.
II the British markets we're closed TO
the United States this country wouIl
have to seek other markets for its sur
plus. and as such a market would proDa-
bly, not be found a tariff war would fol-
low which would sooner or later reopen
the markets Of Great Britain.
Exports Of food products TO the United
Kingdom IN 1902 were valued at sJ4s.-
54s.4 Al A large proportion Of these was
made UP Of agricultural products. Gree-
Britain's exports 10 this country were
valued at s165. .745 $50, or little more in
comparison than the value Of the hog
products sent her by the United States.
Should the colonists be given 4 prcfercn-
tial rate IT is argued that # would be an
incentive to Increase the colonial output
which would. TO some extent, replace the
loss Of American products. bat II is not
believed that tho increase would be sufl-
cient 10 replace the American foodstufs
