I asked how, with the country in its present state, and the government unable to enforce taxation In the country districts, a revenue of was to be obtained. I was told by increasing the custom house duties. This idea is simply midsummer madness.

With the industries of the country ruined and the inhabitants starving, to make any such proposition is absolutely cruel. If Spain continues to remain In Cuba under present conditions, her expenditures will doubtless be not less than $92 000,000, and her revenues cannot exceed $10,000,000. The deficit for the coming twelve months of $82,000,000, or say 16.000,000, will have to corns out of the Spanish treasury. The Spanish people will probably begin to understand the affairs and condition of Cuba when they are called upon to pay taxes this amount. The municipality of Havana have also similar ideas of how to mak both ends meet, and during the pt week a decree has been issued raising the tax on all Industrial business by 5 Ir cent.

Here Is a story he related yesterday of an episode dating back to those days: "I have now a very distinct recollection of being severely snowballed at FChool one day by an elder boy. I was then about 12 years old, but I vowed I would whip that boy for snowballing nve if I ever met him face to face again. Thirty years elapsed, when on one occasion I sent my card to Congressman Dingley. He remembered me and our meeting was quite cordial. said I.
