Campos Said to He In Bad Position and
Greatly Worried.
NEW YORK, July 1.-The Ward
line steamer Santiago has arrived from
Cuban ports. She brings So passengers
from st. Jago Among these are sew
eral residents of St. Jago, who were
compelled to fee for safety, owing to
the disturbed condition of affairs in
that vicinity. The news Of the land
ing of reinforcements for the insur-
gents cause was confirmed by one Of
the Santiago's passengers who stated
that the expedition from Florida sue
ceeded in making safe landing on
June 2l. General Campos is also

rounded by the insurgents. Spanish
war vessels patrol the Cuban coast on

4 Coin That Would Help American Com.
merce In the Orient.
TACOMA, Wash, July 1.-Repre-
sentative VIII. Doolittle left for Wash
ington to spend the summer there,
transacting business of Importance to
the state. AS result of his recent
Oriental trip, he will work to secure
the enactment next winter of measures
providing for the coming of ''chop"
dollars, for use in the transaction of
business in the Orient-in Japan and
China especially. Mr.. Doolittle says:
Great Britain has been long coming
these dollars, placing the japanese
chop, or characters representing the
silver, in the place, on one side, and
the British stamp on the>'other.
This currency has been of great
service to British merchants
transacting business in China and
Japan and hence to the British nation
at large. Our trade dollars might have
served the same purpose, but lacking
the Chinese chop or character indl-
eating value, the Chinese and japanese
did not understand them and would
not use them The measure, think,
congress will enact, will provide for the
coinage Of these dollars with the eagle
on one side and the japanese chop on
the other. The piece will be irredeem'
able in gold and will contain about the
same amount Of silver as the American
dollar. It will purchase in Japan
about double the amount gold dolla.
will purchase in this country.

SHOULD co HIGHER
Short Wheat Crop in Europe
Ought to Affect Prices
in America.
WE HAVE LITTLE TO EXPORT.
Our Surplus This Season Will
Be Less Than Any Year
Since 1890.

NEW YORK, July 1.-Bradstreets
says: Dominating business conditions
Of the week are the continuation Of the
large demand for and further increase
in prices for iron and steel, which have
surprised even the trade. The jump in
rail prices and scarcity of and higher
quotations for plates and nails have
tended to produce temporary scarcity.
Improving wheat conditions have
finally convinced many in the trade
that there are likely to be fully 49,
900, 600 bushels harvested in the United
States this year, which, with probable
availabie surplus Of 100000 bushels
being carried over at this time, points
to only 100. 600, 900. possibly 110, 600, 600
bushels, available for export during the
next 12 months, which is less than any
year since 1890. With short crops

1t will doubtless prove disappointing to
learn that the exports OF wheat (and
-four as wheat) both coasts of the
United States and from Montreal, have
amounted to only l.946, 402 bushels
this week against 1857 900 bushels last
week. There are few evidences of re-
vivals Of general trade at the South. but
merchants at almost all leading cities
in that region report that demand con-
tinues very moderate and collections
are slow. General business on the
Pacific coast continues in contrast to
that elsewhere. Increases are reported

The Venezuelan government has long
been anxious for a modern line, and
when Mr.. Grant made his first trip
there last winter he was offered all
sorts of inducements to undertake the
task. He has now agreed to do so under
the terms of the new railroad subsidy
act passed at his suggestion by the
Venezuelan congress. Soon after the

Venezuelan government repudi.
