DUTY ON HEMP IS A
SUBJECT OF PROTEST
France Joins Several Other Powers
in Directing to Philippine Levy
of Export Dues.
REPRISAL IS THREATENED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Unless Congress
enacts legislation removing the export duty
on Manila hemp shipped from the Philip
pines to countries other than the United
States France threatens to impose a coun-
tervailing duty on hemp products imported
from this country. At the instance of his
government, which has been appealed to
by various commercial bodies, Ambassador
Jusserand to-day called on Colonel Ed
wards. of the Bureau OF Insular Affairs,
and made representations to him respecting
the export duty levied In the Philippines.
The governments of Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy. Belgium and The
Netherlands have submitted protests TO the
State Department against what they charge
to be an unjust Discrimination in favor of
the United States on Manila hemp and
fiber. Recently the entire correspondence
was transmitted 10 the Senate by acting
Secretary of State Loomis, although the
protests of Great Britain, Germany n
Italy date back TO 1902.
1t is asserted that the open-door policy
with respect to the Philippine trade, as COW
cred by the Paris treaty Of peace. guaran-
standpoint TO all nations trading with those
lege that they are compelled to pay an ex-
port duty of rs cents per 100 kilos, or $3.50
per ton, on Manila hemp, while none is
paid by the United States. This, IL is in
sisted, gives American manufacturers an
unquestionable advantage over foreign COM
p%etitors. The matter is one with which
Congress must deal.

TARIFF BILL PASSED
BY SENATE OF CUBA
Very Satisfactory to American In
~terests, but Is Regarded as
Merely a Makeshift.

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-THE Senate last
night. after a long debate, approved the
bill authorizing President Palma to in
crease duties in his judgment, not to ex-
coed 80 per cent. more than the present
rates, as adopted by the House yesterday.
The bill now goes TO President Palma.
The bill is very satisfactory to American
interests and fairly so to the Spanish and
Cuban commercial interests. The latter,
however. declare that they would have pre-
ferred a permanent settlement Of the ques-
ton and point to the lack of an increase
in importatiOns under the operation OF the
reciprocity treaty as evidence that business
is not likely TO increase while the tariff
question remains unsettled.
The House of representatives was unable
to make a quorum to-day at a private
session held to act on the Senate bill for
the payment of revolutionary bonds. Mem
bers of the House who were officers in the
revolutionary army refuse to assist in such
a consideration of the problem until the
Senate passes the House bill providing FOR
the sale of public lands To revolutionary
veterans, the certificates issued by the SOL
diers pay commission to be accepted as
part payment therefor.

MERCHANTS OBJECT TO
THE PAPER BLOCEADES
Vigorous Protests Regarding San

the State Department. :
ANOTHER SHIP SENT OUT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18th State De-
partment Is In receipt OF some very ener-
getic protests from large importing houses
in New York against the action OF the pro-
~visional government in Santo Domingo. who
interfere with legitimate trade by paper
blockades. Acting Secretary LOOMS has re-
ceived several of these. the general tenor OF
which is that at this particular season. when
the sugar crop is about TO be marketed. the
recognition of these blockades would have q
most pernicious influence on American inter-
ests. as most OF the sugar is marketed here.
1t is further declared that every port In
Santo Domingo. except the capital. is in the
possession OF Jiminez. and that IL the State
Department will direct Minister Powell TO
extend recognition TO General Jiminez a
speedy termination will be put to the sui
oidal strife now going on in the Dominican
republic.
The department has come TO no deter
mination as to the recognition OF any OF the
parties in Santo Domingo. The last advice
is that there are no less than two provi-
sional governments and one revolutionary
government in full swing at this moment.
Therefore, IL Is disposed to continue TO trust
to the discretion OF Minister Powell.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS TO
MEN OF NAVAL MILITIA
Tells Them They Should Agree on
the Kind of Legislation They
Desire.
WILLING TO AID THEM

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE National
Association Of Naval Militia met here to-
day TO frame a basis for legislation TO pro-
mote the naval militia of the country. There
were about fifty delegates from various
States. including Commander Edwin Gear.
Of Baltimore, the president; Lieut.. Z. G.
Willard, Baltimore. secretary, and WASH
ington Irving. New Jersey. treasurer. The
meeting was addressed by Secretary Moody,
Speaker Cannon. Assistant Secretary OAR
ling. Chairman Foss. of the House commit
tee on naval affairs; Representative Day
ton. of West Virginia, a member of that
committee; Rear Admiral Taylor. chief of
the Bureau of Navigation, and Captain
Miller. of the New York naval militia. The
delegates later called on President RooSe-
welt. Lieutenant Commander Usher, u. s.
N. has been detailed by the Navy Depart
ment TO act as advisor of the association.
Admiral Taylor also pledged cooperation.
The President greeted the delegates cor
daily and delivered a brief address TO them
on their work. He said: II have a pc
cultar interest in, and l think L may say
knowledge Of. the naval militia and the
work that IL has done. When L was assist
ant secretary of the navy the interests of
the naval militia came peculiarly within
my province. II is with the naval militia
as IL Is with the National Guard generally.
If they can decide definitely what they
want and agree upon il we can come pretty
near putting their policy through; while If
there is a disagreement il is an extremely
difficult thing TO obtain proper legislation
or administration. 1t is not necessary for
me to say TO a body like this that the DO
sition of the United States as a great world
power, and her ability TO maintain with
dignity and self-respect her position in the
world at large. depend primarily upon the
efficiency or her navy, and that you, by the
work you do in the naval militia, can con-
tribute as no other body of civilians on
land can possibly contribute to make that
efficiency reach a high standard"

PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Amendment Considered by Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations to-day consid-
cred an amendment to the Panama canal
treaty directed to obtaining for the United
States greater concessions in regard TO the
Jurisdiction over the harbors adjacent to
the cities of Panama and Colon. These har-
bors are within the canal zone described in
the treaty, but il is provided that they shall
not be included in the grant of the zone
TO the United States in perpetuity. The
phraseology OF the amendment was dis
cussed at length and IL was agreed il
would have TO be perfected before the
amendment can be accepted. Both the
Democratic and Republican members of the
committee admit that the treaty does not
guard the interests OF the United States as
fully as could be desired in the matter of
harbor privileges. II is believed the amend
ment IN another form will be accepted by
the committee when IL meets again to-
morrow.

the Senate in executive session to-day to
confirm the nominations of Brig. Gems. VIM.
a. Kobbe, Joseph 2. Sanger, Alfred L.
Bates and Wallace A. Randolph to be major
generals and then placed on the retired list
resulted in the circulation Of a report that
they would not be given their advanced rank
before retirement. Members of the military
committee disposed of the rumor. however,
by the statement that the nominations
would be confirmed tomorrow. 1t was de-
clared that no opposition had been raised to
their confirmation. The Senate confirmed
the nomination of Brig. Gen. George l.. Gil
lespie, chief of engineers. TO be major gem
eral on the active list. and this gave i'm
petus TO the rumors which were started i'm
mediately on the announcement that no ac-
ton had been taken on the brigadier gen.
erals to be promoted and retired. 1t appears
from inquiry that the nomination lists be-
came mixed through an error in the report
of the Senate committee on military af-
fairs.
