THE NEW CUBAN TARIFF.
European Ian porters FaUored Rather
than american.

Havana. Feb. 5.-President Palma's decree in
creasing the rates Of customs duties in accord
ance with the authority given him by Congress
was promulgated to-day and viii take effect
tomorrow.
The new rates are considered to be more IA
Vorable to European importers than TO Amer
lean. The Americans hoped that so per cent
increase, which is the maximum rate allowed by
Congress would have been placed goods like
linens. which the United States cannot manu-
facture in competition with Europe. but for
which they could hope TO substitute TO some
tent cotton. The americans also hoped for more
radical increase IN the duties on co;tons which
would have enabled United States goods to COM
pete with British and European cottons.
The Presidents decree fixes the increase on
linens silks and wooilans nj Il per cent and
that on cottons at 20 per cent.
The Senates tariff biII which failed TO pass
granted from 30 to 100 per cent increase on
linens
Under President Palma's decree the maximum
Increases Of 30 per cent are placed on all the
main food imports from the United States.
among these being poultry, game, lard. tallow,
bacon. fresh meats of all kinds butter cheese
condensed milk, all fish, oysters. eggs. all grains
nouT, potatoes and other vegetables. fruits,
liquors, alcohol beers and biscuits and also on
shoes etc.
From an official standpoint It is said that the
decree treats the interests of the United States
win great fairness, and that, in any event none
OF us provisions are dictated in the remotest de-
gree by any feeling Of unfriendliness toward
the United states. The statements made
here that the increased duties foodstuffs will
not inJure American food exports and that the
cotton manufacturers of the United States asked
only for a concession of 10 per cent i'm a rec-
procity treaty, and that 40 was granted, to
which the decree Of to-day adds : per cent. On
The other hand. il is pointed out that the bulk
or American cottons have only 30 per cent re-
cucuon in the treaty, the 10 pc recent reduc-
ton being confined TO knitted goods.
II is conceded that American trade will not
be injured by the increased duties on foods,
but It is argued that the burdens Of Cuban
consumers might have been lightened by plac-
ing the heaviest Increases on fabrics instead OF
foods
