-------------- HOW IT STANDS.
A Chinese Prince Gives His Version of the Present Japanese
 Chinese War.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-A Central News dispatch from Pekin says that an interview was obtained with Prince Kung at the close of the meeting of the privy council in that city, his fellow councillors remain in g and acquiescing in what the prince said. Prince Kung remarked that Japan had seized Corea and made the Corean troubles pretext for war. The disputes, however, :, could easily have been settled peaceably. He admitted that China had faults, that the war had been managed unw isely and that some of her officers were unfit and in- competent.
 For these disadvantages China must suf- fer. He expressed himself as ignorant as to what Japan wanted or why she was fighting. Upon being told that Japan probably wanted some of the territory she had conquered to get her 400, ,000, ,000 taels indemnity Prince Kung said he questioned very seriously whether 1t would be possible for her to make such claim, adding: "China stands upon principle and Japan upon power. China knows that she is weak from a military point oi view, and has therefore concluded that her only option is to sue for peace. She has sent envoys for that purpose to consult with representatives of Japan and agree to pay the indemnity. China's purpose is sincere. If Japan will meet her in a friendly spirit the conclusion Of peace arrangements will be possible. If her demands are exorbitant China will continue to fight.
 Replying to the suggestion that China must expect defeat, Prince Kung put these queries: tCan Japan overrun All of our provinces? Will heaven permit it7 Will the other nations acquiesce in itf If China is wrong,o he conciuded, "she is willing to suffsr.'
 The foregoing utterances of Prince Kupg undoubteofy express the general sentiment t of the council. It was the dowager empress and Prince Kung who nominated Lii Hung Chang as peace envoy, the other members of the council agreeing 10 the appuin lmant 1. .

DIRE DISTRESS
Staring Inhabitants of Cuba in the Face Relief Must Be Had at Once.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Reports by mail received at the state department today from consuls in Cuba show a deplorable state of affairs there. Consul General Williams sends copy of cablegram, addressed by the provincial deputation of Matanzas on February 16;to the representatives of that province in the cortes at Madrid ,as follows; 1; 'The Mantazas deputation esteenis the sugar crisis as most grave and believes it impossible to finish the crop. Thesus- pension of all taxes on Cuban sugar with its admission into provincial markets for one year is therefore, urgently necessary. -
 Consul General Williams adds:
 ''This telegram expresses the apprehen- sion that the Cuban sugar planters. from the low prices of sugar consequent upon its overproduction, may not be able to finish their present crop, aud asks for the suspension of all taxes on the mauufacturo of sugar and for it's free admission into the Spanish market for one year.''
 A report from Consul Baker, at Sagua LaGrande, says bankruptcy appears inev- itable for nine- -tenths of the growers i4 his district, and the mills may not finish their grinding. He predicts that long contin- uance of present conditions will see q s'direful and disastrous" state of affairs, even with the most prosperous planters, The impoverished condition of the people is verified by the almost daily suspension of Well-known firms.

MILLION DOLLAR BLAZE Halifax, Nova Scotia, Again Visited by the Fiery Element. A STRONG NORTH WIND Aided Materially in the De- structive March of
 the Flames.

HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 17.-Fire started just alter 10 o'clock this morning in the large shed at the outer end of Deep Water wharf. A strong north wind was blowing, |, which famed the flames into fury, and in a short time it was seen the shed, wharf and elevator chute were doomed. Part of the contents of the shed on the upper part of the wharf were removed, but the contents of the outer shed were nearly all lost. It consisted of merchandise for and from steamers, the steamer Iudrani having dis charged quantity of goods last night for points in the west.
 The flames ran quickly along the elevator fue and communicated with the elevator, which was soon mass of flames. Its sides and roof were covered with slate and the heat caused these 10 fly about in danger ous manner, driving the firemen from the scene.
 The Sarmaniau hotel and other houses on the opposite side of Water street caught fire from embers from the elevator, and ia a short time fully dozen houses were ablaZe. The conhagration was almost be- yond control. Fortunately there are no steamers at Deep Water terminus. The steamer Iudrani left early this morning.
 The Dartmouth fire department came to the assistance of the Halifax brigade. The fire Is now under control. The chief loss sustained Is by the Dominion government, i, whose property around Deep Water termi- nus is pretty well destroyed and on which there Is no insurance. The big immigra- tion and other sheds are gone and the long wharf is burned. The grain elevator and the elevator chute are also burned. A block of wooden buildings opposite the elevator are badly scorched, but only one or two small ones are destroyed. Two fire- men were badly injured.
 Four hundred thousand dollars' worth Of goods were stored in the government sheds which were burned, and will bring the loss up to $1 ,000, ,000. Two hundred thousand dollars worth were spring stocks of city firms, who had no insurance. The remain der belong ged to western firms. The cargo of the steamer Indrani was landed here last night. One train load of eight cars left for Montreal this morning before the fire started. ..-.E

BEING TAKEN TO SUPPRESS THE UPRISING
 IN CUBA.
 HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. N.-The repo rt that Gen. Maximo Gomez and Jose Marti i, the exiled revolutionary leaders, have landed in Cuba is absolutely untrue. Gen. Antonio Macco remains in Costa Rica, and the alleged revolutionary movements un. der the direction of these officers are wholly matters of fiction. The bands of insurgents in the district of Santiago De Cuba have become thoroughly discouraged through lack of leaders. The authorities are taking prompt action and measures to suppress the revolt, and to this end martial law waa declared in the provinces of Matanzas and Santiago De Cuba.
 The organized bands of insurgents are in these provinces, and eight days are given them In which to submit to the oonati- tuted authority of the island. The entire island condemns the revolt and oyer wheImingly approves the attitude of the government. The capture of the notorious bandit, Manuel Garcia, has excited general qualification iu this district.

 LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Pail Mall Ga- zette says that the appl cunts for the new American, bonds received letters of aliot- ment today embracing larger amounts than they had expected to receive. The small applicp pnts, the Gazette says, are conceded about 25 per cent more than they were led to believe they would get larger applicants from to 15 per cents Tn excess of their applications.
 Notwithstanding this statement, 1t IS iact that some applicants for large amounts, , who had sold bonds in expectation of re- ceiving substantial allotments, are disap- pointed at the amounts they have received and there has been among them some eager buyers of bonds in order to keep their en- agreements.
 It is learned from reliable sources that subscriptions to the loan in Lonoon amounted to $590, ,000, ,000.
