WASHINGTON, March 8—The Presi- dent to-day Istued an executive order abolishing the Cuban export duty on to- bacco from April 1 next. This action was taken on the earnest recommendation of the Cuban Economic Commission, which recently visited Washington, indorsed by General Woed. A previous order had been issued fixing an export duty of 50 per cent on Cuban tobacco from April 1. To- action removes the export duty en- General Wood’s approval of the aboli- | tion of this export duty is practically an expression of his belief that the Cuban revenues from other sources are sufficient for the needs of the insular government. The original idea was that the tobacco tax s necessary to fully meet the financial requirements of the Government. | The abolition of the duty affects cigars | and ci ettes as well as tobacco in leaf, filler or cut, all of the various classes of tobacco, raw and manufactured, having heretofore been subject to various rates ot duties. That on cigars has been $1 35 per thousand; on cigarettes in boxes % cents per thousand; cut tobacco, $3 75 per i% kilos; leaf or fillar tobacco, $6 35 per 10 kilos, except that harvested in the pro vince of Santiago de Cuba and exported through the customs-l:ouses at Santiago, Gibrara or Manzanillo, which paid $2 20 per 100 kilos. All of these duties are abol- | ished under the order of to-day | It is estimated by the War Department | officials that the abrogation of the tobacc duties will cause a loss of revenue of about $500,000 or $1,000,000 per year. But It | is said that this loss will be more than offset by the encouragement given to the planters in Cuba to increase their produc- tion. The extent of trade affected by the order is very large, the tol » exports amounting to about 320,000,000 a year. Of this by far the larger part came to the i The value of unmanufac- tured tobacco exported within the seven months ended July 21 last was 35,202,000, and of this the export to the United States amounted to $4,802,00.
