M More StAfe Among Members Of
Congress-
OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS ENDED
Palms's Message Suggests Perpetual
Debt to Meee Financial Difficulties
Country Nos Has $500 Schools and
10000 PupRA

Havana, Nos. S.-The winter session
Of congress oUened Monday promis-
lngly. In shay contrast to the rows
and disinclin.aeoA to legislate which
characterized no summer session. the
members of IN minority party occu-
pied their seats In full force. Nation
alist leaders have informed the Asso-
ciated Press tAat It is not their inten-
ton to pursue aksAr former obstructive
tactics. There wore less than half a
dozen absenseas in each house and
the proceedings wore characterized by
friendliness.
In his message President Palma. az
ter a lengthy review OF the condition
Of the repussso outlined leading mat
tiers requiring action by congress. The
message made no reference to the po-
litical situation.
In mentioning the progress that has
been made in paying off the 90 per
cent Of what Is due the veterans, the
total amounting to 28,300,000, Presi-
dent Palma asked congress to decide
in what manner the remaining half
should be raised or to suggest other
mode of settlement.
The president called attention to
the fact that the Plat amendment
would not permit Cuba to incur debt
unless the ordinary receipts OF the
treasury were Sufficient to pay off the
sinking fund and interest, adding that
as the present resources above the or
binary expenses are practically alb
sorbed by the first loan, Cuba cannot
create new loan except through in
creasing taxes. The president suS-
gested that the difficulty might be OBJ
Waited by the creation of a perpetual
debt bearing interest at 3 per cent
per annum, which the government
could be authorized tc sink after TWEEN
ty-five years or to liquidate sooner II
the means became available.
President Palma submitted the bud
get Of expenses for next year, amount
ing TO S19,000000 Of which he pro
posed 20 devote 81, 100000 for the con-
struction Of sew roads and bridges.
The message stated that if the Gus
toms revenues continue as heavy as at
present the executive will ask $4,000
o0C for 1906. The special information
al tax on liquors, matches, ETC., etc.
levied for the payment Of the present
loan now yields $3,360,00O annually,
with a surplus of $4,000 above the
amount needed.
The number Of schools has reached
$500, with 10000 pupils, an increase
for the year of 10000 pupils. The agri.
cultural station, under the manage
ment of United States agricultural en-
perts, is developing high degree OF

Gen. Kurolki's Headquarters, Nov. 5,
via Fusan, Nov. THE positions OF
the two armies are unchanged. The
Russians continue infrequent and in
elfectual bombardment, principally at
night or in the early morning, with
heavy guns, devoting their energies
chiefly to the Japanese left, whore the
lines are nearer than elsewhere The
Japanese refrain from replying. There
is a sharp exchange, indicating firing
somewhere on the lines almost every
night.
The cold weather of the past week
has eliminated In a sharp wind and
hurries OF snow. The ground is frozen
and the soldiers build few fires for
warmth, lest they draw the Russian
shots. They have remarkably and in
geniously well-constructed shelters OF
cornstalks whenever they are unable
to occupy Chinese houses. Fur over
coats are being used.
ST. Petersburg, Nov. THE army

commanders in the far east, Including

the latest dispatches from the front in
