lpart of the meat was for the army
and that after the rest of it had
passed into Cuba duty free 1t was
sold in the open market at prices
which made competition impossible
for other dealers and importers who
were compelled to pay the regular
duty. The further charge is made
that American pianos brought in on
the transport Fitzpatrick for Ameri-
can officers, and which were admit
ted duty free, have been sold In the
market at low prices. 1t Is also as
serted that the same is true of large
amounts of condensed milk, sold by
merchants near Camp Columbia,
who bought 1t fIom army officers at
S cents Il quart. whereas in Havana,
1t cannot be sold at profit for less
than 10 or IL cents. Matches are
also mentioned in connection with
this alleged smuggling fraud.
There is some fear here that the
investigation will bring to light a
big scandal in the American army.
The court has ordered the customs
officials to produce the alleged state
ments from the commissariat and to
declare the exact amount of meat
brought in by the Swift and Armour
firms
Up to the Yankees
Concerning the affair, Cuba. a To-
cal newspaper, says:
American warships, with all they
bring, are exempted from the juris-
diction of our custom houses, coming
under the jurisdiction of an Ameri-
can funcuonary, the quartermaster
of the army of pacification. Legis-
lat!on now in force provides that
whenever suspicious arise that goods
subject to duty have been landed by
an American naval vessel the ques-
tion of their arriving therefrom shall
be decided by the said quartermaster.
1t follows, therefore, that the inves-
tigation of possible customs frauds
committed by the American military
are solely within the jurisdiction of
the Yankee authorities. If the Gu
ban courts possessed investigating
jurisdiction they would likewise pos
sess sanctloning and punitive juris-
diction."
Governor Magoon's prompt decls-
ion that the scandal be investigated
and either the cplprits or the false
accusers punished is favorably com
mented upon in all expressions Of
public opinion. The Diario de Ia Ma
rina and La Lucha both disapprove
OF the attitude of the Spanish ele-
ments, who are charged with inter
tering in Cuban politics and causing
incidents like the riot over the Span
ish flag at Guanes.
