In New York on March 10 Judge Wheeler of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion that, if upheld, would require the U S government to refund about 5 million dollars to the American Sugar Refining Company. The ruling supports a 20 percent duty reduction on Cuban sugars imported in 1903, applying since ratification of the Cuban treaty. The case traced the sequence from initial assessment to board of appraisers and then to the circuit court, concluding that ratification occurred during the appeals process, warranting the reduced duties.
