An effoit Is to be made to seeuie leg islation this winter taxing unthiacite coal ii cents a ton at the mines, the tax to be paid by the mine owneis when shipped to the inatkets. If this pioposltioii Is can led out the payments would be made to the state monthly or semi-monthly, mid would affoid Imme diate relict to the tiemiuty. This scheme was tiled In Pennsylvania riming the war and continued eaily In the seven ties. An effoit will also be made to In cieaso the tax on the actual value of the capital stock of domestic- Insurance companies They now pay Ii mills on theli capital and S mills on their gross piemlums. It Is pioposed to make the tate unifoim by lKing it at S mills on each. The total pioductlon of anthiaeite coal in Pennsylvania for 1S0G was 13, 'Jl'.i SPC tons, in 1S93, 4C292.443 tons; in ISI'4. 41,231, ID!) tons. It w ill be seen that a 5 cent pei ton tax on the pioduct would pioduce a lnrgp and Juicy lev enue. FUNDS ARE SHORT. Ifnless state expenses aie gieatly cm tailed Pennsylvania will llnd heiself with an empty ttcasmy. Reductions will have to be made In all the appio pilations and new somces of levenue hae to be found. The annual nppro piiatlon of $3,000,000 Is likely to be chopped down a million or two. If It Is not some of the state piivate chari ties will be left without a penny. Those Institutions entiiely dependent upon state aid will find that their icquests will be shaved constdeiably.

WEYLER' S VICTIMS Hundreds of Innocent and Peaceable Citizens of Cuba Are Driven from Tbcir Homes. Key West, Jan. 15. Advices from Havana state that the effect of Wey ler's famous Bnyate edict ol the Hist Instant Is being felt with moie Intensity In the piovinces of Havana and Matuu zas than that of Plnar Del Rio, since these piovinces, being mote thickly populated and with mote farms and estutes than the fotmer, the wholesale abandonment ot the piopeitles and the couceutt ation of the people in the tow ns will not only augment the misery al leadv prevailing, but also piesent the serious Inconvenience of lodging so many people in towns alieady full to oei flowing. Without discussing Wey lei's unhii man measuie In dpiling peaceful and unoflendlng citizens of their tlghtful means of existence, and huddling them in alieady ciowded spaces, exposed to all the ilgois of hunger and disease, simply for the sake of dealing the coun tiy of so-called lebel sympalhieis, a legal point has been spiling by the for eign piopeity ownets, especially the Amei leans, who own large piopeitles In the provinces of Havana and Matanzas, which will surely lead to complication:, and claims on the Spanish government. Weyler distinctly states In his decree that those who wish to remain on their piopeitles must exhibit the last tax bill paid. As taxes aie only levied on pioduttlve Industiies, and thee plant el s have not been able to woik on ac count of the abnoimal conditions! in the piovinces since Gomez's Invasion In De cember, 18U3, no taxes have been col lected since that time, the government admitting such unusual ciicumstances or being poweiless to collect them be cause the lebels weie In possession of the country, did not pi ess their collec tion, consequently no taxes have been paid in the countiy since the date men tioned. Resides that, Wey let has un officially otdeted that no sugai ciop should be made and now he wants the sugar planleis to pay taxes on an In dustry which they have not been able to pioduce. One tesult was that the managei of the sugnr estate "San An tonio" near Madi'ig,, Havnnn, owned by Mr. Antonio Teiiy, an Amei lean citizen lesldlng In Pails, piesented him self to Consul Lee, demanding piotec tion, because the mllltaiy commandei of Mldtuga otdeted him to abandon the placp, one ot the most valued estates lu the pioince, and woith at least half a million dollais, because he did not piesent the tequlied tax bill. Consul Lee at once took the case In hand and simultaneously piesonted the same to the captain-genoinl and the state de pai tinent at Washington. No leplles have been terelved yet, either from Weyler or from Secietniy Olney. To depict tlie situation in Plnar Del Rio, nothing can be better said than to translate the lepoit of a tilp made to the city of that name by a cone spondent of La Lucha. All the way travel sed by the rallioad from Artemlsa to Consolaclon Del Sur, is, without exaggeiatlon, the most chastised and undoubtedly has suffeied most from the i Igors of wnr. The fields wasted and abandoned, the bushes and tiees burnt, and the yellow arid decayed leaves stiewn by the wind, the huts destioyed, the stone houses, in other times happy homes, converted by the hands of lebels and Spaniards alike into heaps of ruins, the black and fal len walls of which only serve as a refuge of the lis-airis and owls, the cane Helds dtled up and coveted with bushes, by the lavages of fire, the towns, the uuthoiities of which aie making great eflotts to tcniedy the ne cessities ot the tesldents, full of people, of poor families, who dally tioops down from the hills, extenuated by hunger nnd emaciated by the revet s In such a way that they resemble skeletons ilon out of their tombs to appear before the final judgment; to the light and left of the toad, as much as the ttaln winds Its rapid mutch, the tiaveler obsetves with painful anguish the desolation and lulu wlUiln the Inextinguishable poetry of their exuberant ileitis, always gieen with the eternal 'otdllie or apt lug, as if God, with His eloquence would point us that the onlv thing we men can do Is to desttoy the beauties which surged from His bounteous will.
