REPUBLIC TO GAIN ALL AND LOSE NOTHING UXITED STATES TO OFFER A IIORI ZOKTAL CUT IX DIJTGLEY TARIFF RATES In Retnrn the Island Import Rates Are to Remain the Same Toward America Bat Raised to All Other Countries Special DUpattfc to the Cbronlel NEW YORK November It A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says The proposed reciprocity treaty with Cuba which General Bliss has gone to Havana as minister plenipotentiary to negotiate provides that in exchange for a generous horizontal reduction of the Dlngley tariff rates which the United States will make on all Cuban products imported into this country Cuba Is to maintain her existing tariff on United States products and increase the rates on most of her imports from other countries according to schedules which are Incorporated in the treaty In other words Cuba is to possess a differential tariff with maximum and minimum rates similar to that provided for the Island by Spain and the United States Is to enjoy preferential rates as Spain did but In return Is to compenT sate Cuba by Important tariff concessions which Spain did not The differential moreover is nothing like so great as Spain prescribed and its design is not to tax Cuban resources for supporting a distant throne but to promote the prosperity and development of the island General Bliss is authorized to suggest that the concession ipade to Cuba may be greater than the 20 per cent reduc tion which was considered last winter In view of the growing sentiment for a reduction some of ibetariff schedules and the strong public sentiment in favor generous treatment of Cuba President Roosevelt is disposed to believe that a reduction of 25 per cent in favor of imports from Cuba might be made In the proposed treaty without Jeopardizing its approval by Congress This however is one of the details which has not yet been definitely decided on The spirit with which the Cuban Government responds to the propositions made by General Bliss will have considerable weight in securing the greater concessions from the United States General Bliss is also to Im press on the Cubans the fact that the United States In proposing this tariff arrangement Is working for Cubas welfare that while Cuba is not to sur render a cent of her revenues the United States is to give up annually a large sum In customs revenues and that the purpose constantly had in view is to bring the United States and Cuba Into closer commercial relations and assure the prosperity of the new nation In the same connection he Is to dis courage any tendency on the part of the Cuban Government to undertake the negotiation of commercial treaties with other nations at this time insisting that nothing of that kind shall be done until the arrangement with the United States has been completed and put into operation He may even go so far as to give as surances that If this treaty is carried through promptly some of the rights which this Government acquired under the Piatt amendment may not be exerted in a manner to affect the patriotic sensibilities of any considerable element of the Cuban people The pending proposition provides at the outset for a uniform reduction of 20 per cent In United States duties on all imports from Cuba In return for this Cuba is to admit goods from the United States in most cases at exactly the rates provided in the existing Cuban tariff law and 1b to Impose higher duties on similar goods imported Into the island from other countries These Increases are not uniform but each section of the Cuban tariff in many cases each item has had separate consideration The treaty provides that the concession made by the United States to Cuba shall become effective on the enactment by the Cuban Congress and the putting into effect of a tariff law providing forjthe maximum and minimum schedules set forth in the treaty In which the United States is to haye exclusive advantage of the minimum rates CUBAN ATTITUDE ON GENERAL BLISS VISIT HAVANA November It Commenting on the mission of General Tasker Bliss ta investigate ths industrial situation and the fiscal possibilities of Cuba the Discussion Intimates that the appearance of General Bliss will be apt to complicate matters and will give color 6 the dominant fear of a restora tion of military government The newspaper recognizes the Gen eraTs ability in questions relating to the tariff but expresses the belief that If he must come to Cuba he should come to consult with Minister Squkrs and sot as a minister plenipotentiary Cuban merchants fend planters are elated at the news of General Bliss coming and are hopeful that the result will be a speedy solution of the commercial treaty negotiations RESCUED Tell Tale of Terrible Suffering Endured onv San Nicolas Island ABANDONED
