In a Nice Condition to Go TO War,
Are We Not? - q

The revenues continue TO fall Of, and
the rallying from the effect Of the panic
has not been as rapid as was hoped and
expected. For the quarter ending Sept.
80 the revenue exceeded the expenditures
by $e,O0OOO0. During October the rev
enues fell off $S,OO0000, and for this
month the decrease will be probably
$5,OOOOOO. Since Oct. 1.-THE expenditures
have exceeded the receipts, and the ratio
Of this excess 10 increasing each day. At
the same time the estimates ol receipts
from customs and from internal revenue
will be less by several millions than last
year. while the estimates from the depart.
Inents will exceed those OF last year by
about $10,000,000. These facts are re-
garded OF the Treasury as having Q very
marked bearing upon the question Of war
with Spain, since even II the country re-
mains at peace the annual expenditures
must be cut down and taxation increased
10 meet current expenses, while In case Of
war the burden ofetaxation, In view Of
the present financial condition OF the
country, must at once become oppressive.

Annual Meeting of the American
Iron and Steel Association.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-The annual
meeting Of the American Iron and Steel
Association was held here to-day, Sam'l
j. Reeves, President, In the chair. The
Secretary submitted statistical report,
embracing q general review Of the iron
trade. 1t states that the present financial
crisis has destroyed the whole business,
and that the prices Of iron have declined,
reaching in some lines far below the cost
oil production. At the beginning Of No
vember fully onethird Of the furnaces and
mills were idle, and by the end Of the
month one'halt Of the furnaces will be
blown out. The nail mills ore bare oi or.
ders and their stock Of pig iron Is accu-
mulating, with no sales at any price.
Thousands OF iron workers are out Of
work, and those yet employed have &C.
cepted a reduction Of fifteen per cent In
their wages. Under these circumstances,
says the report, 1t Is proper to consider
whether 1t Ia wise TO continue the en-.
couragement of importation oI foreign
iron twice repeated by Congress In re.
ducing the duties within the past four
years. An increase Of the duty on pig
iron from SO 80 to 80 per ton. and pro
portionately on other classes would be q
wise measure oil relief by Congress. 1t Is
better to have O. reduced revenue than
cold and hunger in the homes, of Amer
lean workingmen. uE -
Resolutions were adopted attributed the
past prosperity Of the iron trade Of the
country 10 the tariff policy olthe Govern.
ment which has iostered home industry;
asking Congress TO adopt q financial sys.
TEN adequate TO the largely increased and
increasing business Of the country; declar.
ing the reduction Of ten per cent Of du'
ties by the last Congress unwise; asking
Congress for q revision OF the National
bank system and means for an adequate
supply Of currency; declaring that the
custom laws should have uniform con,
struction at all U. 8. ports; denouncing
free trade 10 ships; affirming that The
bankrupt law should be so amended as to
give three.fourths OF the creditors the
right to control the settlement OF affairs
Of an insolvent and prevent them from
being thrown into bankruptcy.

In Cuba numbers $4,000 men. M
MADRID, Nov. 20.-Senor Pieltain, late
Captain General OF Cuba, arrived In this
city to-day and has since been In close
consultation with President CASTELAR,.
The report that Senior Solor, Colonial
Minister, who was sent on q special mis-
SION to Cuba, has been summoned 10 re.
turn Immediately TO Spain, Is contra
dicted. i-...
The lmparcial asserts that the Virgin.
ias was openly equipped in the port Of
New York.
The Spanish press generally praise
President Grants moderation in reserving
for Congress the settlement OF the ques.
tlons which have arisen between the
United States and Spain. s
Il erald Cable Special b.. ~. .......'
MADRID, Nov. 20.-The situation Is
grave. There Is o serious misunderstood.
ing between Minister Sickles and the
Spanish Cabinet. On the arrival Of the
news OF the capture of the Virginius,
President CASTELAR, called at the U. 8. LIE.
CATION and expressed regret, and ordered
suspension Of sentence. When Secre.
tary Fish telegraphed the news Of the
execution, General Sickles sent a note at
Q o'clock In the morning demanding q
stay. The foreign Secretary answered
questioning the accuracy Of the informa.
tion, and intimating that General Sickles'
action was not authorized. Thereupon
General Sickles, In the name Of the Uni.
ted States, addressed q formal protest
against the inhuman butchery and insult
to the United States flag, and demanded
that Spain should enforce obedience to her
orders In Cuba, and insisted on the rights
OF Americans 10 trial under treaty Of 1895.
He complained that the American Con-
sui at Santiago was prevented from using
the telegraph to Washington. The Span.
ish Secretary answered that the matter
was wholly municipal affair between
Spain and tho Virginius pirates and Spain
could not tolerate American interference.
The interview ended by Gen. Sickles de.
that Spain should enforce the
order OF the Cabinet 10 Cuba for q sus-
pension OF executions.
The Spanish Minister Of Foreign AZ
fairs haughtily declined to permit Gen.
Sickles 10 discuss the municipal affairs Of
Cuba, and the interview terminated an
grily, Gen. Sickles saying he would hold
no more personal, only official relations
with that Minister. Public feeling runs
high. The Spauiards blame the United
States for the Cuban insurrection, and say
they will welcome war.
Minister Sickles says does not see how |
war can be avoided as Spain will concede
nothing, and pnblic opinion will prevent |
President Casteler from making any con.
There Is no use In the |
United States trifling any more on the
'ubject, Spanish stubborness making con.
,essions impossible. Tho extreme Re-
oublicans favor the views Of the United
States In the affair.

From the Philadelphia Ledger of the 10Th
Yesterday was the 18th day Of Novem.
Der, exactly Eve months from the time OF
the failure OF Jay Cooke & Co., followed
closely by the failure of several other
large banking houses, banks and trust
companies. Many millions OF dollars were
involved In these failures, and not few
millions IN market values were swept out
of existch:e. Hundreds have been car
ried 10 ltretrievable ruin, and great pecu-
mary distress has been imposed upon,thou,.
sands who had felt reasonably secure in a
competence for life. The industrial inter.
ests OF the country have felt a severe
shock, but so vast Is our wealth and so
vigorous the enterprise that chsracterizes
almost every department Of industry, we
are already, in these Two short. months,
fast assuming our normal condition, and
in two months more trade and credit will
have been so nearly established as TO
leave scarcely q trace Of the crisis that
seemed Tor the time so formidable and In
its consequences, threatened TO be 80
lasting. The financial position is much
improved Money as, in easy COM
mand and at moderate rates. The banks
arc all paying out freely Of currency, so
that almost all premium upon itis Elost.
Traffic Of all kindsiis reviving, q sure ev-
idence that prices for the present have
generally touched their lowest point.
lrhe iron workers and,the manufacturers
of all sorts who. had shut their doors upon
their thousands of employees are In some
cases recalling them, and the tone and
temper all aronnd indicates a cheerful
ness that cannot fail to- sdlspel all appre-
hension OF want OF, distress. There isnot
only an improvement in the amount Of
business doing, but there is an assured
feeling that there will be no going back
on the advance made. The cotton and
western produce markets are gradually
emerging from the depression they suffer
