Spain's New Cuba Policy Ties Cuba to Spain
Washington May 3. The Spanish government adopts a policy to gradually reduce duties on Cuban imports and to bind Cuba closer to Spain by eventual abolition of customs duties, while granting political reforms. The move aims to offset tariff cuts to foreign nations and appease Cuban unrest. General Foster is credited with leveraging the moment to advance U S interests under McKinley era reciprocity norms.

Policy on refunding bonds to be decided by President
The plan to handle the 414 per cent bonds rests with the President after his Western trip. Secretary Foster favors continuing at 2 per cent and using September October surplus to buy 4 per cent bonds, arguing long term savings. If continued, or if not, funds exist for immediate Treasury needs and debt refunding may be limited to a fortnight after his return.
