cuBANs OPPOSE STAMP TAX.
Nearly All the Drug Stores in Ha-
vana Closed Yesterday.

A dispatch from Havana last night says:
Protests are being made throughout the
entire island against the taxes imposed by
the newly created provincial governments.
The drug stores OF Havana and its suburbs
almost without exception were closed to-
day in protest against the stamp tax Of 2
cents on every package of patent medicine
sold. The druggists. following the example
of the theater managers. have sought to
have this tax rescinded, but the provincial
council has refused their request. Today 1t
was almost impossible to procure medi-
cines in Havana except at the free mu-
nicipal dispensaries, of which there is one
in every ward. Many of the druggists de-
clare they are ready to remain closed until
Gen. Nunez, civil governor of Havana, or
President Palma vetoes the tax. Gen. Nu-
nez has informed the representative of the
Associated Press that he approves Of these
taxes. which have been Imposed where they
are least burdensome, namely upon amuse-
ments. gambling and the sale of patent
medicines.
A big demonstration was held In the
plaza at Matanzas this evening to protest
against the imposition of these taxes in
Matanzas province; here the taxes are upon
certain articles Of necessity, and they are
declared to be contrary to the purpose of
the new provincial law. Some of the radi-
cal opposition newspapers are advoca ting
the adjustment of the provincial govern
ments.
