The Flour Output Declines Water Now
Going to Waste.
There was quitca heavy decline iu the
flour output last week. snysthe NoriAmest-
EN- MiNer. Only twelve mills ran, and
their aggregate production was 111,6i0
barrels-averaging 1867 barrels daily
against 137, $50 barrels the week before.
and 81, $50 barrels for the corresponding
time in 1889. About the same number of
mills aud the same capacity are in opera.
ton this week, the daily output being not
far from 1880 barrels. Several of the
mills are down pending the completion
of work on races running underneath
them, and the date on which they will re-
sume is uncertain. The river is now at a
fair stage, and considerable water is run
ming to waste. This makes the millers
impatient to cut OFF steam, and there is
talk of the water being let into the West
Side canal about May 1. The advance in
wheat has infused considerable strength
into the domestic market aud there has
been un increased demand. The export
market is wholly devoid of life. The Min
neapolis mills made more -four during
March than in February, by over 10000
barrels. The figures also exceeded those
of March for two wears past.

is GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE

The Annexation Sentiment Constantly
OGrOwing in Cuba,
A correspondent of the New York Her.
AID, writing from Havana under date Of
April s, says:
The question Of the annexation of Cuba
to the United States is daily growing more
serious and the government commences to
be alarmed at the propagation that more
or less openly is being carried on. with re.
suits that will soon be known. The CAM
paign that has been opened by several
leading papers is courageously sustained in
remarkable editions, n having gone so
far as to assert, some weeks ago, that the
Spanish government, through its disgrace
full and ruinous administration, is doing
more than ANYBODY else to throw Cuba into
the arms Of the United States.
I'm another remarkable editorial, whose
author was arranged, it was said some
time ago that the only way annexation
could be avoided was to Immediately pro-
claim the autonomy Of Cuba aud that the
conservative party should join the liberals
in their efforts to obtain from Spain self.
government forthe Island.
"The fact beyond all doubt is that there
are a large number of anne~xationists in
Cuba and some in the United States.
The question now is to know whether any
Of the members Of the government at
Washington would be willing to favor the
movement just initiated in Cuba"
