CUBA ASKS HECIUROCITY.
188 HOME GOVERNMENT URGED
TO NEGOTIATE A TREATY.
A Petition to That Effect Forwarded
by the Tobacco Growera and Cigar
make 1 ' 8 ’ Union—The Tobacco Indus
try of the Island Threatened With
Ruin if Action is Not Taken at Once
by the Authorities at Madrid.
Washington. Oct. 30.— The department
of state has reoeived a copy of a petition
forwarded by the Tobacco Growers and
Cigar Manufacturers’ Union of Cuba, to
the Spanish government, urging the nego
tiation of a reciprocity treaty between the
island of Cuba and the United States. The
petitioners assert that they are confronted
with a simple problem: “On one side ruin,
stagnation, misery and vague hopes; and
on the other side abundance, wealth and a
promising future.”
• A DEADLY BLOW.
The Spanish law protecting Spanish pro
ducts, the petition says, deals Cuba a deadly
blow,’w hile at the same time the produc
tion of Spain receives no benefit from it.
The greater part of the Spanish goods im
ported, it is asserted, do not need the pro
tection' given them. The petition, after
ter urging the repeal of the la v of 1882 as
a necessary preliminary to the negotiation
of a reciprocity treaty, says: “The United
States buv from us tobacco and
sugar to tbe extent of $51,000,000,
and it is uot strange that the American
:overnment should mate itself strong on
the absolute necessity we have of that mar
jet so as to de and recipro al concessions,
or. which is the same thing, exemption for
their flour, lard, machinery, hardware and
other articles iu our tariff, so as to increase
their exports to ihis island.
WHAT BLAINE WANTS.
“In one word, they want to pay us for the
tobacco aud sugar tney consume with goods
thao they produce. To-day they only sell
to us $10,01X1,000 or $12,000,000, and they
ilesire to increase this amount to the $51,-
OUti.OOO they buv from us. This is what the
| McKinley bill amounts to. For sugar it
I will be effective on July 1, prox., but in re
gard to tobacco the reform is to be applied
immediately, and so terrible, so radical it
is, that it is equivalent to the closing of
that market to us.
AMERICA’S CONSUMPTION.
“We will lose a market that consumes
100,000,000 to 110,000,000 cigars annually,
with a value of $5,000,000 to $5,500,000, and
over 100,000 bales of tobacco; just exactly
hair of our commerce in tais line. And we
will lose a great deal more, because if cer
tain grades of cigars of special quality and
color, particularly adapted to that market,
are not consumed there, we will not be able
to supply other consumers of other murkets
with the grades they require without im
mense prejudice.
THE DAMAGE INESTIMABLE.
"The damage we shall suffer can’t be
overestimated; the cultivation of rich leaf
will diminish to one-half; the greater num
ber of our factories will disappear aud those
that remain will have to greatly reduce thoir
operations; thousands of souls dependent
jlw a livelihood on the factories will he left
h complete want, and a prosperous and
flourishing industry will come to ruin and
bankruptcy.
MUST BE WARDED OFF.
“It is necessary avoid so much harm and
ward off such calamities, and we find no
other way but a commercial treaty with
Ihe United States, accepting the reciprocity
lhat our neighbor proposes. There is no
lime to be lost in making this treaty. The
fusiae s crisis that threatens us is terribly
Imminent, and its consequences embrace
■ery serious dangers.”

Kirsing the action of the Havana Chamber

HEROES OF THE JEANNETTE.
A Monument to Their Memory Un
veiled at Annapolis.
Annapolis. Md., Oct. 30.—A number of
naval officers in Washington decided to
ereot at the Naval Academy oemetary at
Annapolis a monument to thsir heroic com
rades of the Jeannette exploring expedi
tion of 1881. The responses to their appeals
for contributions to the fund were both
numerous and generous, and tbe monument
was in due time erected, and was unveiled
to-day. So far as has been practicable the
design of this monament follows that of the
one erected in the Lena delta, where per
ished many of the men whose memory it is
designed to perpetuate.
THE DESIGN.
Its base is 22 feet long, 12 feet wide and
10 feet high. It is built of square-shaped
piers of granite, strongly cemented to
gether. The upper portion of the monu
ment is constructed of white marble, tx
oept a bronze anchor that rests against the
foot of the cross. On each face of
the die is a bronze table',
one bearing the names of tbe
dead, and on the other side is this
inscription: “Commemurative of the heroic
officers and men of the United States navy,
who perished in the Jeannette exploring
expedition, 1881.1 A nice cross, twelve feet
high, surmounts the whole. A distinguished
party of officers were present at the cere
mony of unveilment. Prof. Joseph R. Soley,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, delivered
the address.
GOTHaM'3 POPULATION.
Another Demand for a Reoount Made
by Mayor Grant.
New York, Oct. 30. —Gov. Hill to-night
held a conference at the headquarters of
the democratic state committee with Mayor
Grant,Police Commissioner Martin,Richard
Croker, and other democrats. Subse
quently Mayor Grant sent to the Secretary
of the Interior another letter demanding a
recou it of the population of the people of
New York city. Apended to the mayor’s
letter is an explanation of the method of
computing the population usoir by the
board of health, the death rate by wards,
contouring the federal census of 1889 with
the federal census of 1890, a comparison of
registered voters in 1880 with 1888, and a
statement showing the number of tenement
houses and dwellings erected and the num
ber of families which these provided addi
tional accomodation for, and a comparison
of the directory ratio to tbe population.
NATURAL GAS QOB3 UP.
The Price of Fuel Raised 50 Per Cent,
at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Oct. 30.—The Philadelphia
Natural Gas Company to-day announces a
50 per oent. increase in the price of natural
gas as a fuel. This is supposed to be the
result of the cutting off of ihe gas supply
from over 500 puddling furnaces recently,
as the oompany has determined
that their revenue comes from residences
alone. The Philadelphia company furnishes
gas fuel to 30,000 residences in this oity,
and it is estimated that fully two-thirds of
these will withdraw and go back to the use
of coal. The cost of gas aud coal are now
about on a par, while coal at least has the
element of certainty.
CRUISE OF THE PHILADELPHIA.
The Vessel Leaves New York for a
Trial at Sea.
New York, Oot. 30.—The United States
cruiser Philadelphia went on a trial cruise
to-day. She passed the quarantine station
at 7:35 o’ciock, and cleared Sandy Hook at

Philadelphia is in charge of Rear Admiral
Kimberly, and has on board the inspection
board, who will pass judgment upon the
vessel.
The Enterprise will leave this evening
and will relieve the Kearsage in South
American waters. Commander G. A. Con
verse has the old berth of Commander
McCalla on the vessel.

SAVANNAH, GA„ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1890.
CASH FOR THE CAMPAIGN’.!
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS
MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS.
Theodore Roosevelt Couples FUs With
a Request That It be Used for Legiti
mate Campaign Expenses -Commis
sioner Thompson Sends His Party’s
Committee SSO-Roosevelt’a Expla
nation.
Washington, Oct 30.—A well-known
republican leader not now in office, but
prominently connected with the congres
sional campaign committee, has reoeived
from Theodore K osevelt, civil service
commissioner, a contribution of SBO
to be Used for legitimate campaign expenses
in any congressional district where it is
needed.
Ex-Gov. Thompson, also a member of the
commission, has sent in a contribution in
aid of the democratic cause.
ROOSEVELT’S EXPLANATION.
In conversation to-day Mr. Roosevelt
said: “Thare is no reason why, under a re
publican administration, all contributions
should be made to the republican campaign
funi, and under a democratic administra
tion they should all 1 e to the democratic
fund. Clerks are as much at liberty to con
tribute to one party as to another, and they
are perfectly safe and free to make no con
tribution if they so prefer. Within the
classified service the employes are under
obligat on to no party. Gov. Thompson is
a democrat, serving under this administra
tion. He makes a contribution to nid his
party. lam a republican; I aid mine. If
we did not want to contribute we would
not. No one can force a government em
ploye to contribute, nor if he desires to con
tribute compel him to contribute to this
party rather than to that.
PROHIBITION OF SOLICITATION.
“That is all there is in the question, ex
cept that no employe shall solicit directly or
indirectly from any other employe, and
none shall give to or take from another
employe. “If there are political clubs of
which government employes are members,
there is no reason why they should not be
democratic as well as republican. But all
of them will be prosecuted if we have evi
dence of their trying to force contributions
by intimidation.’’
MEXICO'S NSW DUTIES.
The Department of State Still Doubts
the Reports.
Washington, OcL 30. The department
of state is without information respecting
the alleged imposition by Mexico of a dis
criminating duty of SSOO per carload on
American cattle which is reported from the
west. Acting Secretary Adee says that
when tbe Mexican Government,'by a decree
issued a year ago, increased the duties on
imported cattle and swine (which, by tbe
way, were general duties and not directed
especially against the United States) the
Department of State was Informed of the
action within twenty-four hours, and, while
he cannot deny the last reported action, he
is compelled to doubt it.
THE REPORT FALSE.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct 80.—Regarding
the prohibitory Mexican duties on Ameri
can cattle, the following dispatch received
here to-day seems to be authoritative :
City of Mexico, Oct. 80, 1890.
There is no additional duty on livestock otner
than that which has been enforced during the
past twelve months. The tariff is being revised,
and should anew duty be irooosed by the gov
ernment due notice and time will be given snip
lid's- “The Two Republics.”
MURUAGA’B RECALL.
it was Owing to a Change of Adminis
tration in Bpain.
Washington, Oct. 30. Secretary Blaine
desires a statement made that he did not
request the recall of Senor Muruaga as
minister of Spain to the United States. He
gays that it is not true that the relations
between himself and the late minister had
become strained, aud that, on the contrary,
their relations were friendly and pleasant.
Tbe minister’s recall, Secretary Blaine says,
was due solelv to a change of administra
tion in the Spanish government.

but the city council refused to go to the ex
pense of hack hire to the station. When
the delegation got here there were only
two men waiting to meet them
at tbe station. Tne declined all civic atten
tion and said they bad been grossly insulted.
Col. Holland, a member of the institute,

cities, aud that they would not think of
marring the sue ess of affairs by accept
ing any sort of hospitality in Canada.

He said that Mr. Gladstone’s torrent of
words did not afford his followers the
slightest guidance. The speaker did uot
fear the general election. The government
would continue its Irish policy
and would uphold the Scottish eburen.
He objected to any meddling with the
working hours of the adult laborer, even in
the case of miners, but he warned railway
ootnpanies that legislation would interfere
if they overworked their men to the danger
of the public. The speaker exon
erated America from auy de
sire to injure England with the
new tariff law. Similar attempts In the
past, he said, had only expanded our trade,
and it was not likely that we
should have to put up our shutters
now. The heavy duties on tin plates
would only be detrimental to the American
fruit trade. Home changes in the tariff
would tend distinctly in our favor,
such as freeing raw sugar, which,
besides giving au impetus to
the West Indian trade directly,
would benefit our trade. Then wo would
benefit with increased tr..de with Canada.
So long as we avoided labor troubles and
continued to open new markets we would
have nothing to fear.

slight advantages to France, but under the

mum tariff privileges must grant c insider
able rrductions in existing duties, besides
placing France in as favorable a position as
