American Academy of Political and So
cial Science held a notable meeting in

the past and present conditions and the
prospects for the future in Cuba and in

In anticipation of hearing the Cuban
vice president on an American rostrum
IL large number of members of the acad-
envy and guests were present The vice
president received cordial reception.

science at the University of Pennsyl-
vania and president of the academy,
in introducing Vice President Zavas
said that. rightly or wrongly. Cuba
is now looked upon as the testing
ground of popular institutions, and that
the hopes and wishes of the American
people are with the present government

Address of Senior Zayas.
Vice President Zayas declared that
from political point of view the pres
ent conditions of the newly made island
republic seem to insure growing
strength and stability to her institutions:
that the so-called social questions do not
have in Cuba the transcendency that they
have in other countries, although they
are of some importance, and that the
principal needs of Cuba from the eco
homie standpoint are to increase her
fixed population. to facilitate her inter-
nal communications and to- assure an
ample and steady market for her pro-
ducts.
He devoted considerable part of his
speech to the question of the present re-
vision of tariff in the United States as il
would affect Cuban producers. In this
connection he declared that at the pres
ent time Cuban producers are worried
because, on the one hand they consider
II urgent and necessary to take steps to
bring about new commercial treaty
with the United States on the basis of
cause they fear that they will be in
jured by the adoption of new rates i'm

SAN JUAN. p. r.. March 21.-Santiago
lglesias general organizer of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor for Porto Rico.
has sent the following dispatch TO Presi-
dent Taft:
THE American Federation of Labor as
sembied. resolved to oppose the commits
sion of the house of delegates which is
seeking more political powers. The COM
mission represents the anti-Americans
who defeated legislation designed for the
welfare of the people.
"A change in the form of government
would create rule of tyranny and would
mean hardships for the laboring masses,
destroying American institutions
Mission of Commission.
The commission appointed by the house
of delegates is now in Washington, where
it is urging an amendment of the organic
law of Porto Rico separating the execu-
tive powers from the legislative powers
held by the executive council and he
vesting of sole legislative authority in two
bodies to be elected by the people.
A: second commission, representing the
insular government, is also in Washing
ton to oppose this plan.
The commission of delegates has called
on several government officials, laying
them tnelT IDEAS. WHICH are IN the
main that American rule in the island is
responsible for much trouble. The mem
bers of the commission declare that be-
fore the Spanish-American war the island
was better governed than ii ever has been
under American rule and that the bust
ness of the island, particularly the coffee
and sugar trade, has been seriously Grip
pied. They say that coffee has fallen
from $33 ton to - a ton, a price al
which it is almost impossible to do any
business with profit.
Executive Council Blamed.
The executive council, corresponding
somewhat to the United States Senate,
and composed largely of Americans, is
blamed for the present situation in the
islands legislative affairs, which amounts
to a deadlock. The lower house says
that the upper house rejects legislation on
matters of vital interest to all the people
of the island.
The commission of the house of dele
gates claims that the executive council
seeks to do away with the only charity
school on the island.
