CUBA ALARMED OVER
ATTITUDE OF PRESIDENT

HAVANA, April 13.-The Diario de
Ia Marina is alarmed over the state
ment of Representative Fordney, of
Michigan, in the Congressional Record
of March Of, saying: president Taft
agreed in my presence that during his
administration he VIII not permit, so
far as he can avoid it, any further
reduction in the sugar schedule. If
we accept this agreement, it will leave
three hundred thousand tons TO come
in free from the Philippines. -
The Diario urges the necessity for
prompt action. In spite of the friend
less words and hopes brought by Vice
President Zayas from Washington, it
says, Cuba s financial ruin is involved
if President Taft does not turn out as
friendly. 1t is believed here that this
article reflects the prevalent anxiety
over the tariff question.

mo; my visit to Honolulu had moth
ing to do with the visit there of Pres
ident Smith. Our missions We're quite
different as 1 understand. His was
probably to escape the pestiferous
anti-liquor element. Mine to recuper-
ate We both succeeded.
President Smith is popular with the
native Hawaiians. He propagated the
religion of his distinguished uncle in
the then called Sandwich Islands a
half century ago, learning the Ian
guage and endearing himself to many
thousands. He afterwards spent quite
a time there, and his recent visit was
attended by warm welcome by those
strange people.
II doubt if there is a more beauti-
full spot than Honolulu and environs.
If this were better known, the stream
of travel that is now witnessed would
increase immensely

with Colonel Harvey, well known
American, who is here on behalf of the
pineapple growers. He says the Payne
bill would be death blow to this new
Cuban industry, which is producing
100000 annually, and will also affect
Americans through the steamship com
panies interested in transportation, as
well as other trades connected with the
business. Colonel Harvey appeals to
the Cuban government to act.
FL Triunfo prints report from the
Agrarian League, signed by Louis Marx
and addressed to President Gomez, on
behalf of the tobacco interests. He
also recommends quick action and says
that as the cost of producing Cuban
tobaccos is the highest in the world
eighty per cent. reduction should be
obtainted instead of the twenty per
cent. granted by the present treaty.
He foresees hard times for Cuba if
America does not give her generous
treatment

However, the catching of the school
unawares served a good purpose, for
the Legislators were able to see matters

ments. This rubber has developed
very materially the last few years
and is now a regular article of COM
merce. The most of the trees or
plants which were originally started
in Ceylon and the Straits Settlements
came from Ceara, so it would be pre-
sumed that the plant is much, if not
exactly, the same as the ones you have
in Hawaii. The market price of the
rubber today is about $1.27 per pound,
less the charges of. say. a brokerage,
bankers commission, ETC., which
would amount to about per cent It
seems to us that this sample is
trifie softer than most of the rubber
coming from Ceylon and the Straits
settlements, but we have no doubt but
what it is the same general quality
and that the people in Hawaii can
produce the same results as the Cey-
Ion and Straits Settlements"

THREE JAPANESE SHOT
LAST NIGHT AT AIEA

Three Japanese at Aiea were shot
and seriously wounded last night by
one Harada. They are being treated
at the hospital there. Harada has sur
rendered himself to the police at Eva
and is confined in the Eva Jail.
The police at Eva telephoned the
news in to headquarters last night,
giving only the bare information of
the shooting and the surrender of the
assailant and his detention.
One of the victims was shot in the

third in the knee. The first one is
said to be in a serious condition. Just
what caused the shooting is not known
to the local police.
1t is thought here that the Harada
mentioned is the Japanese who at one
time was a member of the japanese
gang of loafers who preyed upon
women and bullied the ignorant
classes among the Japanese, holding
them in a state of terror. During
