Ml F.leet iolift.a
Washington, April 2. The sub-oom-niittee
of the senate, consisting of Sena
tors Piatt, of Connecticut; Aldrich and
Teller, which went to Culm for the pur
pose of jiersonidly investigating condi
tions on the island with a view to intel
ligent uctiou by congress with respect to
Culm, returned to Washington. Senn
tor Piatt, chairman of the snb-cominit-tee,
authorized a statement concerning
tho sub-committee's observations, in
which ho said in part:
"Wo were in Havana in all five days.
We also visited the provinces of Pinai
del Rio, Mutauzas and Santa Clara, be
ing unable to go to Santiago aud Puerto
Prmeipe, as we very much wished.
"It may bo said of all classes iu Cuba
that they are looking to the establish
ment of an independent govi-rrneut, a
Cuban republic. A few are iin patient
and wish for immediate independence.
Others are less impatient, believing that
sufficient timo should bo taken to avoid
mistakes ami to set up the new govern
ment uiKin such a firm basis as to in
sure its success and permaneuco. All
are looking forward to the municipal
elections that are to tako placo in the
latter part of May, regarding such elec
tions as the step toward the establish
ment of the new government. Much
will depend on the result of these elec
tions. If they take place without dis
order and good officials are elected, that
will go far to prove tho capacity of tho
people for self-government, and steps
can be taken without great delay for
further progress in Mutt direction. The
problem is complicated by the fact that
self-government is tin untried experi
ment, by a people who have hod little
opiHirtunity to study its principles or
details, its necessities or its responsi
bilities. Many of the more conserva
tive citizens and business men, unfor
tunately, show too much disjiosition to
hold aloof."
Tho administration of Governor Gen
ernl Wood is highly praised by Senator
Piatt. Ho then said in part:
"It is not too mn"h to say that tho
people of Cuba, in resect to the forma
tion of a stable and beneficent govern
ment, are very much like children who
have to be taught and led. They re
gard tho Unit.'d States as their friend
and teacher, and as a wholo are quito
wilhug to be guided.
"There are great possibilities in the
island. It is fertile, has great natural
resources, and is capable of supporting a
population four or five times larger than
it numbers at present. On tho whole,
there has been marvelous recuperation
since the declaration of peace, but. it
needs American capital and American
enterprise, which hesitate as yet to go
there. English and Gorman capital
seemo more confident aud is being in
vested. Surely onr own people ought
to have as much confidence in tho f u
turo of Cnlia as foreigners have."
DINGLEY TARIFF

Capital mid Ijihor.
San Juan, Porto Rico, April 2. Mr.
W. T. Townes, president of tho Porto
Ricon Tobacco company, who already
had declared that the projiosed tariffs
would keep Porto Rico out of the Amer
can market, and thnt as tho result of it
she would sell to nroM China and
Japan, instead of the United States, do
dared that l.'i per cent of the Dingley
rates would prohibit Porto Ricon manu
factured tobacco Felling in tho United
States. The raw leaf would pay an
average of 5' cents ier xmnd, and fin
ished goods 77'.j cents ier pound. This
would be discriminating iu favor of tho
United States manufactures to the ex
tent of $72" on each 1,000 pounds.
"Skilled labor," ho said,' "is higher
here than in tho United States, and the
passage of tho proposed bill would do an
injustice to tho Porto Ricon manufact
urer. It. would lio a crime against tho
labor and capital of Porto Rico. If con
gress is sincere in its purjxiso only to
raise revenue for tho island, it cannot
honestly take tho Dingley bill as a Imsis.
The differential ruto between finished
and raw prtxlucts will protect the United

REAL PROGRESS WAS MADE.
Dun' Review Note Itetter Condition o
Stoek Thau a Year Ago.
The Failure.
New Yohk, March 31.- II. G. Dun &
Co. 's weekly review of trulo, issued to
day, said in part:
Progress toward Ix-tter things has
been unmistakable. It was a year afro
that the frenzied speculation in indus
trial stocks reached its culmination with
prices averaging higher than at any
time since, while railroad stx;k after
some decline rose $1.18 per share higher
in SeptemlxT, and after the fall in both
which ended iu Decemlxr, have now
risen 18.35 per share to the highest
point of this year. Tho advance dur
ing the past week has been remarkably
vigorous, and with more public support
than before.
Wheat exports fall far below last
year's, amounting in four weeks to 9,
7)fi,W)l bushels, against 14,105,880 hist
year. Tho price has advanced 2I-4 cents
with statements that the crop of France
is greatly reduced, though it is rather
early to make any such estimate. The
exports of corn again prove tlift magni
tude of foreign demand for ceruds, as
the extrartrdinary movement of last year
is closely approaehed, 11,7!4,S75 bush
els having gone ubroad in four weeks,
against 13,102,811 hist year. Tho west
ern receipts nre nearly three times as
large as in tho same week hist year, in
dicating an abundant supply on hand,
but tho price has risen l1 cents.
Wool has declined fully 1 cent on tho
average of revised quotations, and moro
for fleece and fine or fine medium terri
tory, which sells at 55 cents clean, with
medium clothing nt 60 cents. The goods
market is quiet and orders are limited,
and outside the favorites prices are ir
regular, with 4 per cent decline in some
medium woolens and fine worsteds.
Iron is growing weaker, except in Bes
semer pig, which is held nt $24.!)0 at
Pittsburg, in spito of small sales of east
ern at lower figures. Anthracite No. 1
has sold little above $23.00, and basic at
$22.50, with eastern forge offered at
$20.50 at Pittsburg.
In finished products no further clianga
apiKuirs except in refined btirs, which
sell in largo orders close to 2 cents at
Philadelphia, and plates which are sell
ing at 2 cents or less at both markets.
Better prices aro expected from the
consolidation in sheets. But it will not
be easy nor in the end profitable to hold
prices after supplies so far exceed de
mand that material can bo bought at
lower cost.
Transactions throngh clearing houses
show a much smaller volume of busi
ness than a year ago, the daily average
for March being 14.3 per cent smaller
than last year, but 34.4 per cent larger
than in 1808.
Fuilures for the week were 203 in the
United States, against liW hist year, and
33 111 Canada, against 20 last year.
