MUNICIPAL TAXATION.
Event-r511 Brooke's Order Denounced.
Praise For General VVood.-
SANTIAGO, Cuba, April 21.———The spe-
cial committee appointed by the board
of trade to inquire into the municipal
tax situation made its report at a public
meeting yesterday afternoon at the San
Carlos club.
According to the committee, General
Brooke’s order abolishes licenses and all
taxes except 8 per cent on the incomes
from land. At present only seven plan-
tations are operating in the province,
and practically no houses are being
rented in the towns. The municipal
revenues have been reduced from $20,000
to $3,000 per month in Santiago, and
there have been similar reductions in
other towns. Public works and schools
of. employment, and as soon as the’
small surplus is exhausted it will be
necessary to resume the free distribu—
tion of food in order to prevent starva-
tion. Outlawry is almost certain to
follow.
It was also shown in the report that,
while the actual revenues of the island
are $15,000,000 a year, Santiago prov-
ince, representing one-third of the area
and one—fifth of the population and col-
lecting $300,000 a month, receives of this
total only $90,000 from Havana and,
moreover, is not allowed to collect ad—
ditional taxes of a. self imposed nature.
Major General Wood’s plan of fur-
nishing employment to large numbers
General Rafael Portuondo,‘ who was
president of the executive committee of
the late military assembly, arrived yes-
terday and attended the meeting, mak-
ing a' speech in which he highly compli—
mented the military governor. He said,
however, he was afraid that the stop~
ping of public works would be a great
stimulant to brigandage, and he ex-
pressed oonfidence that the Washington
government, if the matter were brought
fairly before it, would give the needed
relief. Porluondo’s remarks were of a
very conciliatory character. '
Other speakers adopted a bitter tone,
taking their cue from the local news—]
papers, all of which. while applauding
General Wood. vigorously denounce
General Brooke’s taxation order.

The Kidney complexion.
The pale, sallow, sunken-checked,
distressed-looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com-
plexion.” _ ,
Their kidneys are turning to a pars-
nip color. So is their complexmn.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-
haustion, and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kid-
ne '5.
Usually the sufferer. from kidney
disease does not find out What the
trouble is until it is almost too late, be-
cause the first symptoms are so like
mild sickness that they do not, think
they§need a medicine or a doctor until
theyfind themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their Weak and dis-
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their com-
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.

LONGEST Known. .
The Lengthy Sentence That Was
Pronounced Upon an Ital-
inm Swindlcr.
The tribunal of Modica, in the Sicilian
province of Syracusgha’s just pro-
nounced a. sentence which is declared
to have no parallel in the judicial an—
nals of Italy, as it has probably few in
those of any other country. A man
named Lupo Salvatore, of Comiso, had
passed himself off as an advocate, and
hadwith consummate skill committed
63 different. acts of serious fraud in
which he succeeded. in using the ma-
chinery of the law. He had forged the
signatures of the president and judges
of the high court. of the king’s procur—
ator, and of the chancellor of the court.
From this last-mentioned official he had
even, with splendid audacity, stolen for
a short, time the seal of the Chancery,
which he needed to give effect to his
fraudulent documents. The sentence is
even more remarkable than the crimes.
Salvatore was condemned to three
years’ imprisouncnt on each of the 03'
cases. which bring s the total of the sen-
tence to 189 years. though the longest
incarceration which the convict can be
legallymade to undergo is 39 years.
The penalty inflictedis in each ‘case the
minimum for the offense. Had the
court decided upon the maximum, which
is ten years. the aggregate term of im-
prisonment. would have been 630 years.
Menelik to Be a Doctor.
It is said that Emperor Menelik of
Abyssinia, who has for a long time
given great attention to western civ-
ilization, has recently turned his in-
terest to fitting himself for the work
of a physician. He spends a large part
of his time in a hospital, watching with
keen interest the surgical operations.
The emperor often expresses astonish—
ment at the skill of-the surgeons, and
is most pleased when he can be of some
service to them, holding a limb or a
roll of bandages. He is at present plan-
ning to build an immense hospital at
Adis Ahcda, the capital of his nation,
and when it is finished he intends to
take the entire control of the surgical
department.

The association has
been incorporated. under the laws of
New Jersey, and proposes to act as a

securing information and distributing
