ment intervened to restore order.

spOnsible banking institution Will be
selected for tbs purpose None of
the cOnferees was willing To make
mere than a general statement re-
garding the conversation.
The appointment of fiscal agent is
a part OF the administration plan TO
make the Cuban people "pay the pi-
per" in connection with the revolu-
ticnary outbreak. It has been serious
ly discussed in the administration cir
Gle. and been decided that as the Gu

Because the postal administration.
has imposed duty of five pfennigs-
instead Of two on postal cards intend
ed for urban delivery, the citizens OF
Hanover have inaugurated a singular
strike against the postal authorities.
Instead Of writing postal cards, they
all write letters, and, not satisfied
with sending their effusions in an en-
velope. they fill it with newspaper so
as to bring the weight of the letter to
the maximum of $50 grams. AS the
envelopes they now use are Of the
maximum size tolerated it is easy to
