l906, for above purposes ..-... 5o,VVU
 The necessary expenditure for above objects, and for others necessary to the due administration of the provisional government, are contemplated to be made from time to time. The purpose for such expenditures is necessary to carry out the beneficial objects of our intervention and are deemed to be properly payable from the revenues of Cuba, and not of the government of the United States.
 The only question which arises is whether the revenues of the government of Cuba are sufficient to pay the or dirary expenses of its government and these military expenses besides. think 1t might be well to authorize the President or secretary of war to re- ceive from the Cuban treasury and de- posit in the treasury of the United States such sums as the President shall determine to be equitable and available from the Cuban revenues. and thus re- imburse the treasury of the United States for the expenditures incurred by the United States in the military oc- cupation of the island.
 Sentiment for ProlongatiOn of occupa- tion.
 | Persons in Washington who make it part of their affairs to keep as close | ly abreast as possible of public opinion l in Cuba have been impressed by the 1 growth of a sentiment in the island favoring the indefinite prolongation of the intervention and of the American l Provisional government This sentiment | is shared alike by the Liberals, who were the revolutionists In the last in surrecton, and by the conservative business interests of Cuba. When Sec retary Taft said at Oyster Bay the other day that Governor Magoon might not remain in Havana more than eigh- teen months longer, his remark was telegraphed to Cuba. The Diario de la Marina, commenting on this remark of MT Taft. said:
 Tt will not be strange if this an Inouncement increases the uneasiness' of which La Lucha is speaking now, | and the lack of financial credit prevail ing in the Cuba market It simply means that those who have lent money on the prospects of future developments of the industrial and commercial wealth of Cuba should take care to get it back before the expiration of eighteen months, when "new trial of the 1 throat-cutting, cane burning, and hang the President business will be granted to local politicians as an eloquent tes- timony of the United States govern ment's altruistic feelings.
 At Calabazar, Havana province, the Liberal leader Hernandez yesterday shot through the left arm the Libera' leader Lopez Garcia, after lively ifs. ticuff tournament, in which theil friends participated, to decide the re. spective merits of Zayas and Gomez At the same time both factions were engaged at Rodas, Santa Clara province calling names and pelting each other in the streets. This situation Is the same in every city and town of Cuba and while the majority of the popula' ton stands aloof and pays no atten' ton to the politicians they are very apprehensive now that their fate i' again to be put at the mercy of thu conflicting cliques,
 "The universal opinion of non-parti. sans here, who are in an overwhelm ing majority, is that if the new trial is going to be expermented in goot faith; if the American administration really desires to prepare Cuba for al orderly and effective republic. thu Provisional government should last longer"
