SINGT.JE COPY FIVE CENTS. : PREPARING TO RETALIATE ' 'Prcs1dent Gathering Information on Trto with the Spanish Wt Indies , TRADE EMBARGO WOULD CRIPPLE THEMm J Any Acton 1 1 Tnken It I ! lely to ne Under the 011 "Illcrlnlnnlnl rhlg" &ntuto lt the : lorrl Tnlt I lt , WAShINGTON , Dec. 2G.-Unless the Span- 4q hh govcrnment wlhln n very short tme In- . . dlcates Its purpso to remove Urn rcstrlctons now placed on American commerce with thc Spanish West mules by thc Imposiion of thc maxImum tarlr on American commodites I Is probable the president will Issue a pro- clamaton ) Imposing "discriminating nag Ilu. ties" upon 811anlsh Cuban anll Porto Rican Imports Into the Unlte.1 States. The Intma- ton of thl5 purpose on the part of the pre1. dent Is Ilstncty conveyed In a rcquest ro- celvell by the Treasury department from the Department of State to furnish ! It with iJe talell Information ns to the amount of such I , Imports a 01 ( a lst of vessels carrying the i Spanish nag which trade with our ports. I was the original intention of the State depart ment to have recourse to the pOwer uf Ilrohl- ) bi Ion of Sllanlsh trade conveyed by the act L ot 1890 but as thi ) power has never beer I exercised , and as It probably has been deemed I best to follow In the line of rrecedent , It Is I quite clear that the delmrtment has falen back upon section 4,228 of the revised Eat- utes. A paragraph of the oht Merrill tnrlf act , which still stanlIs ( O ; the statute books , Imposes a duty ot 10 11er cent In additon teal nit other duties upon goods brought Into the United States In slIP ! or rorelgn countries , unless they arc expressly relieved front the additional duty by treat ) ' . These are known as "dlscrlmlnatln flag dutes ; " section 4.228 , above referred to , authorize ! the president to suspenll ) the htnen ! conferred by the " d1s - criminating nag" statute on being Ftsned that any country Is tlscrlmlnatn aalnst , J the United States In the mater of trafie. I I . b. Is a singular fact the only country which hns I so far felt the force of thl ! Provision ot law I ! the very oeo against which It Is to he again tiled. In IS8G our relations wih Spain were so strlnell that President Clove land issued a proclamation reciting that Spain hac 1 taied to carry out the first article of the commercial agreement signed at Madrid February - mary 13. 1884. which stIpulated that the differential lag duties shou\1 le removed at once from the United States products enterIng - . lug Cuba and Porto Rico. Being satsnell that higher anti discriminatng .Iute ! hall been Imposed , he therefore Invoked the dI I- tl ! criminating custom duties Imposed In the port ot the United States upon CiialI and Porto Rican products coming under the Spar Ish flag. The effect of this action hy the president was almost Instantaneous , for In I fourteen day thereafter he issued another . _ proclamation stating that by nn ngreemeii eIentered Into that day ( October 27 , agreement ) Il had removed the source of our complaint and ho consequently again restored her to treatJcnt under the favored nation claw : ot our treaties . I VOLUME OF SPANISH TRADE Treasury oOclals , at the relluest of thI State department , are engagell In colectng statstc ! showing the volume of the trade thatl'\ould le affected by a repetition of hl ' ; action In IS8G by the president. I appears I that the Spanish colonies would get much the worl or it. The labels show that during ; JJhe fiscal year ended June 30 last Cuba alone 2/cxported to the United States goods of the ( t , . aggregate value of $75G78I , and took from us goods to the amount of only $19,855,237. Porto RIco sent us In the same time goods 1 valued at $ $3145,634 , and received tme retur goods to the amount or ' $2,705,646. With the direct trade with Spain the case was revered - vered , for exports to that country were $11 I- , } $3- 104,07G , as against Imports amounting to amountng $4,255,875.
