NEW TARIFF RATES.
Cuba Adds Its Raise TO American
Goods Chiefly


Havana, Feb. 5.-The new tariff rates
are considered more favorable to i'm
porters than to Americans. The latter
hoped that a 30 per cent increase, which
IS the maximum rate allowed by con-
gress. would have been placed on goods,
like linens, which the United States can
not manufacture in competition with Eu-
rope. but which they could hope to sub
stitute to some extent with cotton. The
presidents decree fixes the price on linen,
silks and woolens at - per cent and that
on cottons at 20 per cent.
Under President Palmas schedule the
maximum increases Of 80 per cent are
placed on the food imports from the
United States, among these being poul-
try. game hams fresh meat of all kinds,
butter. cheese eggs, all grains, -four,
vegetables and fruits.
From an official standpoint it is said
that the decree treats the interests of
the United States with great fairness, and
that in any event. none of its provisions is
dictated in the remotest degree by any
feeling of unfriendliness toward the Uni
ted States The statement is made here
that the increased duties on food stufs
will not injure American food exports.
and that the cotton manufacturers of
the United States only asked a couces-
sion of 50 per cent in a reciprocity treaty,
and that 40 was granted. 10 which the de-
cree of today adds S per cent. On the
other hand. ii is pointed out that the
bulk of American cottons have only, 50
per cent reduction in the treaty. the 40
81 20
knitted goods.
1t is conceded that American trade will
not be broken on account of the duties
on foods, but it is argued that burdens
on the masses of Cuban consumers have
been lightened by placing the heaviest
increases on fabrics instead of ON foods

Washington, Feb. 5.-The cabinet meet
ing today was of short duration. No news
had been communicated to the president
from the state department on the far

caused by the resignation of Governor
Taft and the promotions of Profs. Right
and Ide 1t was stated that the choice
had been a person in the United States
government, but that his name is with

URGED A VOTE.
Senator CuIlom p resents the Neces-
sity of Early Ratification.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator Cullom in
executive session of the senate today
again urged the Democrats to permit the
Panama canal treaty to come TO vote
at an early date. This, in effect, was
agreed to by the Democrats, but they
would not bind themselves to any date.
Senator Cullom asked that a time be
fixed within the next two weeks and ar
gued that nothing was to be gained by
delay, as it was evident that there was
little more to be said on either side for
or against the treaty. Few senators
now want to be heard and all thought
that within a week or ten days a vote
may he reached without the formality
of binding the senate to any specific
date
