A GOOD THING FOR CUBA
AMERICAS RECIPROCITY TREATY
WITH SPAIN.
The Spanish Government Compelled to
Sacrifice Home Industries in Order to
Keep the Colonies Under Control.

MADRID, April 2O.-The reciprocity
convention between Spain and the
United States provides that in return
for the privilege of free entry into the
United States of Antilles sugars, mo-
lasgeS coffee and hides, and the reduc-
ton of the duty on tea, America will OBJ
tain exemption from the duties on most
OF her raw and manufactured products,
and reduction of the tariff on cereals
and -four. The negotiations were pro-
tracted on cereals, fours and oils, in
Guiding petroleum and lard. Some ques-
tion in regard to tobacco was also raised,
bpt not coming within the scope OF the
american tariff law it was put aside.
Premier Canovas offered protracted re-
sistance to the abolition of the tariff on
flour, owing to the protests of Spanish
traders. Eventually the representations
that American reciprocity would be inn
possible without the free admission of
American cereals, induced Premier Cano-
vas to assent to such a reduction of the
tariff as will place American -four upon
nearly equal footing with Spanish
-four.
Santander merchants declare that
taking into consideration the cost of
transportation, American -four will
crush out the Spanish product in the
Spanish West Indies. Cuba now con-
sumes 100000 barrels of -four, yearly,
chiefly Spanish, which enters free OF
duty, and pays for it $12 per barrel
The trade in American flour, burdened
with an extra duty of 20 per cent. since
1889, has been completely wiped out to
the advantage of the Spanish product.
Under the new convention the entry of
American -four, practically free of duty,
will lower the price to about IS per bar
rel, and will extinguish the importation
of Spanish -four, while increasing the
Cuba consumption to 100000 barrels
yearly, all of which will be of American
product.
If the pressure of Spanish interests
had not been counteracted by the de-
mands of the Cuban commission, Cano-
vas would have declined to make such
concessions. The prospect of danger
GUS tension of the relations of Spain
with Cuba and Porto Rico, resulting
possibly in civil war, obliged the govern
ment to sacrifice home industries to
colonial interests.
Under the new convention America
will obtain kind of a zollverein with the
Spanish Antilles. Hersswheat, beans,
hous, lard, petroleum, manufactured
products and machinery will enter prac-
tically free of duty. Among other Span
ish exports, olive oil will be replaced by
American lard, and beans now exported
to Cuba in large quantities will cease to
be sent. The advantages resulting to
Cuba will be great, but it is impossible
to estimate the injury to Spanish trade.

: Gus Small Riots in the Coke Region.
Great Trouble Imminent.

ScorTDALE, Pa, April 2O.-Today was
prolific OF excitement and small rio ts
throughout this region. The women
generally are leading and most bitter in
their attacks on the deputies. Hereto
fore they have been silent, but when the
evictors attacked their homes the foreign
women especially were driven wild.
During squabble today, two deputies
were painfully injured. But few evic-
tions were made, eas the sheriffs fear
opposition and are gathering larger
forces of deputies.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 2O.--There was
considerable rioting at Leith and Leisen-
ring No. Q today because of attempted
evictions. The trouble was all caused
by Hungarian women, who fought like
tigers against the sheriff's force. At
one time the sheriff called for troops,
but the trouble quieted down, and the
order was countermanded.
Twenty-six of Saturdays rioters were
arrested today. When the constables
took them to the train to be
brought here, their wives and other
women, to the number of forty or
fifty, poured into the coaches and took
possession. The women refused to pay
their fare, and the trainmen, after in
effectual efforts to eject them, ran the
coaches on a side track, and going to
Vance's junction, reported the situation
to headquarters. Nothing has since
been heard of the train load lett behind.
Late tonight telephone message was
sent from Lemont to Leisenring No. 2,
notifying the deputies and company
officials that 250 strikers had just left
Lemont for Leisenring, and that riot
was imminent.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-James J.
Corbett, who is matched to meet Peter
Jackson before the California Athletic
club May 21st, has sent the following
communication to the press:
Having noticed statement by Peter
Jackson that there is no forfeit up in our
match, beg to inform you that on the
night our match was made the directors
of the California Athletic club asked
both Jackson and myself to put
up $500 each as guaranty that
we would both be on hand
on May 2lst. The treasurer of the Cali
fornia club afterwards came to me and
got my $500, land trusted to the honesty
of the directors of the club to do the
same with Jackson. President Fulda
promised me that the California club
would go security for Jackson. Now if
this match is postponed on Jackson's
account, will look to the directors of
the California club for his $500, and I
will willingly forfeit my money If by ac-
cident am unable to appear May 21st.
When was in the east
/ became sick, and cancelling all
engagements 1 returned to California as
soon as possible, to- get in condition to
train for this match. On the other
hand, Mr.. Jackson hurt his foot three
weeks ago, and instead of trying to get
well, he has been dissipating in every
way since, which assertion l can prove
by several respectable citizens of Oak
land. There is considerable talk as to
whether the match will take place
or not. 1t certainly appears that
Mr.. Jackson is not over-anxious
to meet me. 1t is source
of annoyance to me not to be able to
know whether the match will come off
or not. This is the first time I have
alluded to Mr.. Jackson's ability or cour-
age, and do it now only in behalf of
my friends and myself"

A COwARDLY CRIME.
An Oficer Murdered in Cold Blood b

An Ohicer Murdered in Cold Blood by
Man In Custody.
PREsCoTT, April 20.-Tom Gallagher,
book-keeper for the United Verde Cop
per company, at Jerome, shot and killed
James Hawkins, a constable, yesterday.
Gallagher had been arrested Saturday
and taken before justice of the peace,
charged with resisting an officer. His
trial was to have taken place today, and
he was turned over to the custody of
Constable Hawkins until the trial.
There being no Jail, Hawkins gave him
in charge of a deputy for few hours,
during which Gallagher procured pis-
tol, which he concealed in his clothes.
When Hawkins resumed charge of him,
and while walking along the street with
the prisoner, Gallagher suddenly and
without warning, drew his pistol, anu
placing it against Hawkins's body, fired.
The ball passed through his body, pro-
ducing wound from which he died in a
few hours. Gallagher is in custody, but
refuses to make any statement, further
than to state that he was drunk at the
time
