TROUBLE WITH THE CUBANS,

Shafter’s Army has Remain TO KEEP cian! ne THEIR NEW SUBJECTS.

A Dark Outlook With Regard to

Cuban Insurgents.

[Seeciat to Tak Examiner.)

Wasutxctrox, July 20.—The War De- partment officials feel that they are fully justified in theirdecision t9 retain practi- cally all of Shafter’s army in Santiago, by reports that reached them, indicating the between the

troops,

ot serious friction American forces and the Cuban growing out ofthe later’s exclusion from Santiago by General Shafter’s orders.

It is realized that the present situation | is full of difficulties and the future is dark owing to the disposition evinced by the Cubans to ignore or refuse to be bound by the amenities of modern war-fare.

POSTAL NOTE SYSTEM.

Arrangements Completed for its

Introduction.

{[Specta, to Toe Examiner.)

Orrawa, July 20.—The official money order department has completed arrange ments for the establishment of a postal note system, and within a few days three denominations will be on sale. There will be sixteen denominations altogether, ranging from twenty cents to five dollars» but owing to the delay of the American Bank Note Co., it is not possible to issue all at the same time. The commission will be one cent on orders up to 40 cents: twocents up to twodollars and a half; three cents up to five dollars.

TARIFF FOR SANTIAGO. Uniform Rates Adopted.

HOW ABOUT TAXATION WITH- OUT REPRESENTATION ?

Waeuninetron, July 19.—The President bas signed the war tariff for Santiago, and it takes eflect today. It adopts in general the privileged rates now given Spain there aod makes that tariff uniform for all coun- tries, including the United States.

The tariff was signed by President McKinley after a orief conference Jate this afternoon with Secretary Gage and Alger. The instructions were imme~ diately cabled to the authorities in charge of Santiago by Secretary Alger 80 that the tariff can be put ia force to-mor- row morning. The new tariff abolishes the discriminative tariff in operation now there, the rates for ditferent countries at Cuban ports varying. This country took as ite basis the races accorded products of Spain and applies them to all countries, net even excepting the United States.

The most important charge effected is reduction of the tonnage duty on ships carrying 2,060 tons or more, which go 10

{ and out of the por: from the present rate

of $l a ton to a rate of 20 cents per ton. This old prohibitive tonnage tax, under the Spanish custom, has been additional to eustoms dues. In contrast to the 20 cent rate declared for Santiago is our tonnage of 3 cents and that of most of the other countries of three or four times that much. The heavy export duty on tobacco and certain other Cuban products and the5 cent export tax on iron are retained for a while at least.

A VICTORY FOR CHAMBERLAIN.

His Strong Attitude on the Imperial Penny Post,

OUTWARD TO AUSTRALIA.

TO

ee

New York, July 18.—A London spe- Post ss A

cial to the Evening eays : timely illustration of the present Eng- lish feeling toward America is to be

found in the suggestion that the Jm- perial penny postag , jast secured, be extended toinclude tne United States, 8) that a hal/sounce letter might pass from any ove part of Anglo~Saxondom to any ether part for two cents. Though so quiei~ ly accomplished, this Imperial penny post age scheme probably will live in history as one of Mr. Chamberlain’s great achieve~ ments in Imperial politics. For a dozen or more years this dream cf a common postage witihn the Empire has beeu agitated in vain both here and in the colouies. Permanent officialdom in the treasury and the post office opposed the change, and permanent officialdom generelly is powerful enough to kill anything in Eng- land. There is indeed only one living man who can coerce permavent officialdom, and that man is Mr. Chamberlain, and Canada having given him the aecessary lead in this postage matter, as recently in the matter of the German and Belgian treaties, he has accomplished it this week.

GREAT OPPOSITION.

“The officials carried their opposition to incredible lengths. One day their at- titude in the Inter-Imperial Conference which has been in session here, wae al- most mutinous; but he stood his ground, avd in a few weeks the Queen’s peony will take the place of the present twopence half-penny, and earry cc, ‘founce letter to or from any part of the United Kingdom, Canada, Newfoundland, Cape Coiony, Natal, and the Crown colonies, The Australasian colonies pleaded financial reasons against a penny rate to England, but on the first of January a penny out- ward rate to Australasia will be establish~ ed leaving each colony to take its own course regarding the homeward rate.”

News Notes.

The U.S., bicycle race managers as wel} us the baseball magnates} complain that the public will not attend their gatherings The war has given the public something new to think about, and there are some signs thatthe public is a little short ot cash, asituation the war may have done something to produce. At any rate, the people are cutting off their luxu-ies, spec- tacular as well as the other kinds. The interest in the end of the war will be quite as lively as in the beginning,

General Miles, in his despatches to Washington, gives pra se t) General Shaf- ter for the manner in which he conducted the Santiago campaign. He also left ir General Shefter’s nands the conduct of the surrender negotiations.

He wa always luckier on the turf than in the par- liameptary arena, and his repeated suc cesses in the field wi)l not make bis returr to the Liberal leadership any the easier.
