MUSTPAYTHECO
A Fiscal Agent Is to Be Appointed
for Cuba to Supervise
Finances.
NOT FOR GLORY THIS time
Revenues of the Island Will he
Drawn upon to Pay the ExDens-
81 of American Occupation
S12,OOO,OOO I'm Treasury.

Washington, Oct. 19.-President
Roosevelt had long conference
Thursday with Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary Bacon, who made
= full report of all that occurred in
Cuba since the United States govern
ment interviewed to restore order.
Conditions in the island and the
views Of the officials as to the future
were discussed, the president des
ing a thorough understanding OF the
situation. The financial feature nj
the Intervention was also taken U
and the possible appointment OF a
fiscal agent for the United States dis
cussed. 1t is expected that some re-
sponsible banking institution will be
selected for this purpose. None OF
the conferees was willing to make
more than general statement re-
garding the conversation.
The appointment Of fiscal agent is
a part of the administrations plan to
make the Cuban people pay the pi-
per' in connection with their revolu-
tionary outbreak. 1t has been serious
" discussed in the administration cir
Gle. and been decided that as the Gu
bans have in the past shown no dis
position to be at all appreciative OF
our efforts in their behalf, 1t will DO
but fair and right for the United
States to look to the Cuban revenues
for reimbursement for the expense in
volved in saving the Cubans from
themselves.
What the total bill Of expense Will
be is difficult to say at this time. The
expense for transports alone, at the
rate of $4,000 per day, will be In ex-
cess of $225 900, and 1t is figured by
those who know that the total expense
Of moving the troops and making ex-
traordinary purchases for the army
will amount to 100000. Under the
present situation the administration
would have to appeal to congress for
a deficiency appropriation, and IN tne
face Of the pending congressional cam
paign this is not discussed at all.
1t is thought most probable that,
when the election is over and the
president has an opportunity Of con-
ferring with congress leaders, plan
will be worked out for making an ar
rangement through which our forces
will not be withdrawn until Cuba
foots the expense bill. The admins
tration is ready and willing to pass
over the responsibility for handling
the Cuban problem to congress, but
1t does not wish TO do 30 until any
endorsements which can be avoided,
are taken into account. With a fiscal
agent representing this government,
on hand to supervise all collections
and expenditures Of money. It will be
possible to have a much closer hold
on Cuban AFFAIRS than could other
wise be secured.

neafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous
Innings Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarnh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
