sional President Ramon Grau San
Martin predicted today that a
solution of Cuba's political crisis
would be reached before the
afternoon was over, and indi-
Gated he might surrender the
presidency.
Receiving the foreign press, DR..
Grau San Martin, appearing ia
tigued but smiling, declared: THE
person who occupies the govern
ment is unimportant; fulfllment
of the revolutionary program is
the principal thing"
His prediction of a solution Of the
crisis came as labor troubles were in
creasing, and as Americans throughout
the island were described as nervous"
under the threat of new strikes.
"All non-political sectors are collab-
Grating with the Government in an
effort to bring about harmonious So
luticn. the prospects for which are
bright. the President told the foreign
correspondents.

proposals and will present their solu-
ton this afternoon, at which time am
most sure tnat an agreement will be
reached
Commenting on his interview with
United States Ambassador Summer
Welles, DR.. Grau San Martin said the
talk was most cordial" and it had re-
suited in reaffirmation Of the good
feeling between the two nations and
their peoples" He said he recognized
Mr.. Welles' high motives toward
Cuba"
The purpose of the present regime,
DR.. Grau San Martin continued, IS TO
lead the country non-polltlcally untii
the constitution assembly has been held,
sfter which all political tendencies can
express themselves"
He voiced the belief that this task
would be carried out in less than year,
possibly in six months.
The labor problem and the prob
lem of hunger will be resolved with
the help of the government and the
army" he continued. The problem
of strikes is bettering momentarily. Our
economic difficulties will be less press
ing Immediately after political stability
returns"

Communist demonstration with rifle
fire. Army officials announced they
intended to act energetically against
Communist leaders attempting to seize
mills No casualties were reported In
the Manzanillo brush.
The American consul was informed
that Communist agitation throughout
the entire Province of Oriente centered
in Manzanillo.
The general strike called there by the
Labor Federation began at o'clock

HUGE SUM TO WORK ON.
Final Agreement Must Be Approved by
Congress.

Final Agreement Must Be Approved by
Congress.
BY the Associated Press.
When British and American fiscal
experts gather to discuss revision of
United States they will have the huge
figure of $9,658, $4,000 at which to
whittle.
Representing both principal and In
terest, payments were spread over the
next 81 years by the funding agreement
Of 1923.
Less than half this amount, s4,465,-
&c, 900, represents principal. The re-
mainder is interest, paid at a rate
which changes with the years, but
averages 1906 per cent. -.
Whatever the final agreement, 1t
cannot become effective until approved
by Congress, frankly hostile to any
reduction in war debts.
In approving the Hoover moratorium
in December, 1881, a preponderant ma
jority attached rider saying it was
the sentiment Of the national leg1s-
lature that no further moratorium and
no reduction in amounts due be
granted.
Payment Of the debt to America has
become in the interim as great a SUBJ
ject of public agitation abroad as COL
lection Of the debts has grown to be In
America.
Several Nations Defaulted.
Attempting to formulate a compro-
mise between payment and non-pay-
mert factions, the British government
last June offered the United States
$40 900 900 on a total instalment OF
SIS 900 900 pending q revision Of the
funding agreement.
Several other nations also made par
tial payments and seven, notably
France, Poland and Belgium, defaulted
entirely on the instalments then due.
President Roosevelt received the par
tial payment, but only with the stipu-
lation that it was accompanied by a
clear acknowledgment of the validity OF
Americas claim to the unpaid balance
and other sums due throughout the
years.
He held, however, that the plea OF in
ability to pay advanced by the debtor
nations should be needed and they be
given an opportunity to present their
cases.
Under no circumstances would he
permit the debts of all the nations to
be made the subject of one genera!
conference. Any discussion of debt re-
vision must be undertaken, he ruled,
with each nation separately and in
Washington.
He foreclosed the defaulting nations

PAYING
ON TAX BILLS
REDUCES COST
Commission Urges Citizens to
Pay up So Interest on Out
standing Warrants Can be
Curtailed

Immediate payment of taxes as
a means of hating the deprecia-
ton of municipal credits and lift
government finances out of the
limbo was urged by the state tax
ing commission in direct state
ment today.
The request, directed to Wash
ington taxpayers, followed on the
heels of an appeal from Governor
Clarence ID. Martin Monday for
statewide cooperation in meeting
the tax payment problem.
Immediate payment of taxes
will aid materially in funding out
standing state, county, municipal
and school obligations and by so
doing will halt the growing tend
ency to discount warrants issued
by those agencies, a practice which
is not only increasing government
al costs but is also placing heavy
burden on government employees"
members of the commission said.
Necessary economies have slash
ed normal total budget of. more
than $s0,000,000 to S66, 00O, 900.
With approximately $45, 0O0, 900 in
warranted Indebtedness outstand-
ing at six percent governmental
are expanding more than
two and one-half million much
needed dollars in interest.
Payment of taxes will not only
cut off a major portion of interest
costs but will place the warrants
of virtually all governmental de-
partments back at par and their
ready acceptance at face value will
go far to stimulate industrial and
commercial activities within the
state"
As proof of their contentious
members of the commission point
ed to King county, one of the
hardest hit financially in the state
until a concerted tax payment
drive halted warrant discount prac-
tees and placed most county, city
and school warrants on a par ba-
sis, readily acceptable by banks.
The commission urged immediate
payment of current taxes even
when payments on delinquent ac-
counts were not possible. Payment
Of current taxes paves the way to
cancellation of interest on delin-
luent installments for 1892 and
prior years with a five percent re-
,ate if paid on or before November
70. 1888.
