WASHINGTON. June 17.-Ever since
the war seven monitors have been ly.
ing at Richmond in the James river.
The United States has been protecting
them at cost of about $50, 900 a year,
and has now determined to send them
away, Notwithstanding the Richmond
citizens protest.
One already has been sent, and the
Raleigh and Ajax have been ordered
to the Portsmouth navy-yard for ex-
animation, to see if they can, by the
use of heavy rified cannon, be used for
defensive operations. 1t has been sug-
gested that the other four could be
placed in New York harbor, be given
heavy new guns, and be effective as a
battery.

ment printing Office rules assigned by
the president provide for the grouping
of the forces into classes, on basis

act passed by congress giving to the
states arid lands, on condition that the
states by irrigation make them fertile.
This will affect Colorado, California,
Montana, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Wy
oming, North and South Dakota and
even Kansas. Irrigation will make

permitted to purchase 160 acres, on
condition that they cultivate them.

opening of these millions of acres
means more competition, and at the
same time increase the grain produc'
ton of the United States. Senator Du-
bois says that in Idaho alone 100, ,OO1

New YORK, June 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, says:
SIT is no longer question of whether

have our reports from all parts of the
country been so uniformly favora BILE.
The daily average of bank clearings in
June is 24.s per cent. larger than last
year, though liza per cent. less than
in 1892. The most potent influence
has been the receipts of more favor

Even official statements helped, be-

previous rumors. Labor troubles are
getting out of the way, wages in many
establishments are rising. and with
the iron industry just now leading

ployment in business, especially at the
west, and the volume of commercial
loans steadily rises. and is now fair for
this season. even in a good year.
The government crop reports were
so much less dismal than was expected
that they really eEtinguished for a
time a host of calamitous rumors.
The decidedly cheering outlook for
spring wheat. which our own and
other private advices confirm, goes far
to balance reports of loss in the winter
wheat regions. and even these, in the
light of the demonstrated deficiency
of official returns of acreage, were
found far more encouraging than
previous accounts. Western receipts
for two weeks of June were

were seen in the official report of May
exports, showing decrease of 1,OOO,-

Cubans In America Like the Presfdencs
Proclamation-No Filibsuterins Expedi-
tion from American Ports of Consequence.

Cubans in America Like the Presidencs
Proclamation-No Filibsutering Expedi-
tion from American Ports Of Consequence.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Friends of
the Cuban revolutionists are greatly
encouraged by the latest developments
In the neutrality proclamation of
President Cleveland, instigated, as it
was, by earnest representations on the
part of the Spanish government, they
see the first official recognition of the
belligerency of the island, and take
hope accordingly.
During all the months of guerrilla
warfare the Spanish government has
scrupulously refrained from making
any utterance which could be con-
strued into recognition of the fact
that large portion of the population
of the Queen of the Antilles was in in
surrection against Spanish rule. If it
had not been for the extraordinary
headway made by the revolutionists
since the arrival of Martinez Campos,
with his consignment of government
troops, no such representations would
have been made to the United States
by the Spanish authorities as those
which have led to the neutrality
proclamation just issued.
There have been no filibustering exc
peditions from American ports of any
consequence, and there are not likely
to be. The revolutionists have carried
on their campaign largely out of their
own resources, until they have driven
their Spanish oppressors to a point
of desperation where every approach
ing vessel is looked upon as an incen-
diary contribution TO the fires of re-
bellion.
All information received here is to
the effect that the forces of the revo-
| lutionists are receiving daily acces.
sons of strength, and that they are al.
ready in position from which they can
not be dislodged by any force at the dis
| posal of Gen. Campos. The install
ments of Spanish troops which have
landed on Cuban shores have proved
utterly inadequate for the emergency
and every evidence of inferiority or
their part has served to invigorate the
cause of the revolutionists, and te
bring to it new support.
Thousands of the most prominent
citizens of Cuba who in the earlier
stages of the insurrection held aloof
and discouraged the attempt at liber
alton on the ground that it must be {
failure, have within the last few weeks
leaders of their sympathy with tn,
cause, and of their willingness to lenc
any support which may be needed.

BILE Woodlands of West Virginia.
ELKINs, w. Va, June l5.-Reports
from the interior state that forest fires
are raging with great violence and the
loss of property thus far has been very
large. Nearly all the timber on the
Crawford, Hart and Harrison tracts
has been destroyed and 500 acres of the
Golf tract, part of 1000 acres for
which Mabie & Mcclure recently paid
$500, 900, are a total loss. At this time
