"A PROTEST FROM SPAIN.
The Meetings of Cubans in This Country
vigorously Criticized.

MADRID, Aug. 24.-In regard to the news
that Estrada and other Cuban insurgent
leaders are allowed to hold q meeting in a
Forester hall, with the flag of the Cuban
republic flying alongside the stars and
strlpes, caluminating Spain, her army and
Cuba, collecting money and recruiting
men for rebellion" as announced in q
dispatch received here, the impartial says:
The government of America and it's
representatives may think as they like of
this mode of understanding that neutral
ity TO which they are bound, but outside
of them there is no man who supports fair
play who will not censure the conduct of
the government of the United States If
they continue to authorize such meeting gs
in which Spain and her army are insulted
and funds collected for expeditions against
us, our course is clear and Europe shall be
made acquainted with how the United
States understand their international OBJ
legations. Deeds and not words, acts and
not promises are what we want. Let us
sacrifice everything rather than the honor
of our country. Let us reach the most ex-
treme disasters, If such is our lot, but let
us not either be deceived or degraded by
any weakness,
The semi-offlcial El Nacional says that
the government has decided to dispatch
100000 men and all the ships necessary to
blockade the island of Cuba, and crush
the rebellion during the first months Of
1890.
General Salcedo has arrived at Corunna.
He states that it is only question of time
and weather when Captain Martinez
Campos will Sweep the rebels into the

Maxine Gomez, the insurgent leader,

OUR DASHING DEFENDER
The Builder Of the New Yacht Re-
flutes Published Statements.
EXCEEDS THEIR EXPECTATIONS.

MIR. HerrsschofT Declares That the Racer
Any Way. and win be Prepared to De-
fend Americas Cup.
BRISTOL r.. l., Aug 2I-The many ru-
mors and reports which have been printed
and circulated by other means in many
quarters during the past few days regard
ing the condition of the yacht Defender
were answered last evening by positive
statement made to an Associated Press
reporter by PresidentJ J ohm b Herreschoff,
of the HerreschoG Manufacturing com
pany, in which he not only denied EN-
phatically that there was any truth in
these reports but declared that the boat
had more than met the highest expecta.
tions of her builders.
The several recent accidents which have
happened to the Defender, including the
fact that she has been aground twice since
the unfortunate accident at the time of
her launching, and her withdrawal last
Tuesdayfrom the race with the Gould boat
have led many people to believe that the
designers and builders were sadly disap-
pointed at the outcome of their labors.
Although the Herreschoffs and members
| VI blO lhlCdbb nave bbbh lNlll OOEhlAhhV
of public opinion, they have heretofore
| strenuously declined to make any denial.
/ Mr.. Herreschoff deplored the fact that
such reports had found their way into
print and said that in many of the pub
lished stories there had not been par
ticle Of truth.
There is nothing the matter with the
| Defender, and never has been any serious
trouble with her." said Mr.. Herreschotf.
1.-THE boat was as sound as dollar when
taken off of the ways, and is just as sound
today. The reports that her hull has
been wrenched either on the ways or in
running aground, or in any of the trial
/ spins or races, are unqualifedly without
foundation.
"The breaking of the first spar and
many of the slight accidents" Mr.. Her
reschoff continued, "were unavoidable,
and were not unexpected in new boat.
| The breaking of the gaff was the only
serious accident that has occurred. Aside
/ from this everything has stood as firmly
as it could be expected to stand on a new
/ boat"
Last Tuesday, in the race" Mr. Here
schoff went on, "it became apparent that
the mast stepped after the previous acci.
dent was scarcely strong enough for the
new rigging, and especially in the weather
that prevailed at that time. and in order
to prevent any possible accident the De
fender withdrew and was brought back
to Bristol thai she might be thorough y
overhauled and have everything dDnt
that could be done to anticipate any fu
ture accident, especially after she Should
be rugged with her steel boom and gafI.
"AS soon as the new mast is put in DO
sition the steel boom will be put on, anC
the Defender will then be ready to do he
duty in protecting the Americas cul
from the Valllyrie ILL.,
Mr.. Herreschoif remarked in conclusion
"rhere is one thing that l want to maxi
as impressive us possible and that is thu
} the Defender has more than met the high
: est expectations of her builders"

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Industrial Troubles Less Threatening and
Prospects Good for Fall Trade.


NEW YORK, Aug. 24-R. G. Dun Sc
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
volume of business shrinks, as is natural in
AT gust, and the shrinkage seems rather
larger than usual because transactions
in July were somewhat inflated for that
month. Some industries are doing more
than ever before in August, and the pros
poets for fall trade is good in others, al
though much depends on the crops, and
the outcome is less clear than speculators
on either side are disposed to admit In
dustrial troubles have not entirely ceased,
but during the past week have become
much less threatening.
1t is certainly relief to turn to the
great in lustries, in which the enormous
orders placed some weeks or months ago
cause phenomenal activity for the season.
In iron, Notwithstanding some uneasi-
ness because the output has greatly in
creased, heavy purchases by two leading
companies have advanced the price of
Bessemer steel fifty cents, and a new COM
bination has raised galvanized barbed
| wire to $1.S0, while combinations are
being formed in wire rods and common
wire, and advance in prices is expected
Failures for the week have been 222 in
the United States, against 234 for the same
week last year, and 43 in Canada against
83 last year sssss .ss:ss
/ Bradstreets' review says: The volume
/ of general trade throughout the east,
south, southwest and on the Pacific coast
is no larger In volume. In fact, at sew
eral southern and eastern centers rather
more of quiet is reported than week ago.
At western and central western points,
with some exceptions, signs are conspicu-
GUS of the favorable influence on business

crop and the very large harvest of spring

The 470, s67, ,769 tons of soft coal which have
been mined during the past fifteen years,
therefore, represent only about one-fourth
per cent. of what remains At the rate of

PENNsYLYANIA,s WEALTH.

Some facts and figures recently set forth by
government geologists concerning the fuel
resources of the country, and particularly of
our own state, make interesting reading.
It is shown that the production of coal in
this country in the past fifteen years has
reached an aggregate of 1,7ss, ,s74,2A gross
tons The anthracite region in Eastern
Pennsylvania, which covers only four hun
dred and eighty square miles, yielded 5l9,s7O,-
25s tons, or nearly thirty per cent. of this
total, and the 5000 square miles of bitumin-
GUS coal area in Pennsylvania produced 47O,-
s67, ,769 gross tons. OF both bituminOus and
anthracite coal Pennsylvania has produced
during the past fifteen years 800 23s, ,O37 gross
tons, or over ifty-fve per cent. of the entire
output of the country.
The first thought of the average reader Oh
contemplating these enormous figures natur
ally is that such drain upon the supply mus
in comparatively short time exhaust thu
latter But the calculations Of DR.. II. NJ
Chance, of the Pennsylvania geological
survey, are likely to dispel fears on tina
part
DR.. Chance asserts that the untouched re
serve of bituminous coal in Pennsylyani
mounts to about 1854, OOO,O 600 gross tons
