Cigar Manufacturers Alarmed by
Their Decreased Exports.
HAVANA, March 26.-Havana manufact,
urers are still alarmed at the great decrease
in the expectation of cigars. A cablegram
calling the attention of the home govern
ment to this condition of affairs was sent to
the minister Of the colonies, who replied
that the ministers were earnestly consider
ing the best means to be adopted to effect a
change in the ruinous condition Of the Gu

trade the HaUGna Weekly Report says that
good suitable leaf of all kinds continues to

has not sleckened. There is, however, very
little of this left undisposed of. and conse-

A LAND FULL OF PROMISE
THE TWO VIRGINIAS ARE TO BIOS.
SOM LIKs THE ROSE.

Wonderful Development Along the
Line of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Predicted arge Cities and
Important Towns Expected to Spring
Up as if by Magic.
BALTIMORE, March 26.-The Manufact.
tirsT's Record publishes a special two-page
interview with President Ingalls, of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad reviewing
the development Of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia and the work that the Chesapeake and
Ohio company is doing to aid it. President
ingalls, announces his early removal from
Cincinnati to New York, that he may be in
better position to attract capital to the
south. President Ingalls, said that
it is undoubtedly true that the
country traversed by his road will become
as populous and as prosperous and as much
crowded with thriving manufacturing cities
and towns as any part of Pennsylvania now
is. 1t is country OF almost inf1uite
resources. and the work that has been done
during the last two years in the opening up
of this region and the building of towns and
the establishment of manufacturing enter
prises is but the beginning of an advance
ment that will create an enormous amount
of wealth, and will cause the building of
manufacturing cities along the entire line
of road in the two Virginias.
IMPORTANT ITEMS.
Taking the three items of coal, iron and
timber alone, there is basis of latent
wealth In the country drained by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and its branches that will
furnish solid foundation for large num-
Der of big cities, as well as for great many
prosperous industrial towns with popula-
tions of from 5000 to 10000 each. When
60 these advantages are added the great
agricultural resources of the two states,
petroleum, natural gas, fire clay and other
withdrawing resources, it can be readily
healthy advancement of the entire country
from Newport News to Cincinnati.
BUSY WEEK.
The Manufacturers Record also SAYS
that the past week has been one Of the busi-
est in the industrial Advancement of the
south ever known. 1t has been week
crowded with the organization and the pro-
lection of solid industrial enterprises
throughout the whole south and one Of large
investments Of outside capital in manu-
featuring, while comparatively few new
land companies have been reported. So
numerous have been the new enterprises re-
ported that it is difficult to give in q
brief summary a comprehensive idea of the
wide spread activity which the full record
of the week shows. Among the leading
concerns reported is a 81 500 900 company
now being organized in New York to estab-
lish cotton seed oil refineries, q SIS, 900, 900
company to build soap works throughout
the south, using cotton seed products, and a
cooperative town company in Tennessee,
with capitalization OF $10000,000.

SWISS ARBITRATION.
No Negotiations IN Progress Now to
Secure a Treaty.

Secure a Treaty.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-It is learned at
the department of state that there ha Va been
no negotiations with Switzerland for sew
eral years, directly upon the subject of an
arbitration treaty between that country
and the United States. About eight years
ago such a treaty was under con-
sideration, and negotiations proceeded so
for that the treaty was ratified by the
Swiss government. 1t is the practice in
that country to submit the draft of a treaty
to the legislative branch of the government
before 1t can be definitely proposed to the
other party to the treaty, which amounts
to ratification in advance of negotiations
In the case of the arbitration treaty, how,
ever, when it reached Secretary Freling~
huysen he noted number of objections to
the list, finding it generally too vague and
without proper limitations, SO the negotia-
tions lapsed.
THE PAN-AMERICAN TREATY.
When the arbitration agreement was
made between the nations of North, South
and Central America q copy of the treaty
was sent to each European government.
This treaty was much more elaborate aud
specific in its terms than that proposed to
Secretary Frelinghnysen, and therefore
more likely to meet with the approval of
punctilious nations. 1t is presumed at the
department of state that if any
action has recently been taken by the
Swiss government upon the subject,
as reported in the press dispatches,
it was probably the submission by the
President of Switzerland of copy Of the
pan-American treaty to the legislature with
q recommendation that Switzerland signify
her adherence to its provisions in response
to the invitation extended to European ma
tions by the international American confer

A FRANCO-PRUSSIAN ALLIANCE
sCHEME OF 1896.

IL Is Alleged to Have Been Sugges.ed
by the Ex-Chauc sllor to Prince Ma
poleon-It Was to be Offensive and
Dsfensive, and Was Intended to
Dominesr over all Europe.
PARIS, March 26-Marquis de Villeneuye
has sent to the Figaro report Of an inter-
view which be says took place in 1866 be-
tween the late Prince Napoleon and Prince
Bismarck, which that paper publishes to-
day. In this interview it is asserted that
Prince Bismarck proposed close alliance,
offensive and defensive, between Prussia
and France, which would make these two
powers dominating influence in Europe.
The combined powers. according to Prince
Bismarck's plan. should proceed against
Russia and drive the Slavs back Co
the steppes from which they came. Prussia
should absorb the whole of Germany, and
France should make Belgium part of
her empire. Then the great allies should
undertake to weaken the power Of Great
Britain by depriving her of her colonies.
aud should endeavor to reduce Spain and
the Scandinavian countries to the rate of
satellites to themselves. This proposition.
the Marquis de Villeneuve says, was laid
before Emperor Napoleon III. by Prince
Napoleon, but the emperor refused even to
discuss it.
BISMARCK AND Won wALDERsEE.
BERLIN, March 2d.-Prince Bismarck has
gone to Altoona, the headquarters of the
Ninth army corps, to return Gen. Won
Waldersee's visit. When Count Won
Waldersee visited Prince Bismarck at
Freiderichsruhe rumor had it that he went
as the bearer of a concilatory message
from the German emperor TO the ex-
chancellor, as well as to request the re-
turn to the emperor OF a number Of
letters which the latter had written TO the
ex-chancellor during the lifetime OF Em.
peror Frederick. Prince Bismarck was said
to have refused this request, and it was
also reported that his refusal renewed the
strained relations which had existed be-
tween Prince Bismarck and his sovereign.
This was understood to have put an
end to the peace pourparlors, which were,
according to report, going on between the
prince and the emperor.
The visit Of Prince Bismarck to Count
Won Waldersee has given fresh life to the
old rumors and birth to q number Of new
reports, among the old ones being one that
the emperor aud distinguished subject are
upon the eve of a reconciliation, and among
the new ones being one that the ex-ohancel-
lor will, upon certain conditions, return
some of the letters requested.
Prince Bismarck will return to Freider-
ichsruhe tonight

Gus and influential, hope before that time
to arrange TO have the charge changed to

personally to the President for his assistance
TO that end. He interposes no objection to
such an arrangement provided the young
man is punished with fine.
