"The revolutionary Cubans in
this city are jubilant. Gen. Rafael
Quesads, who has just returned
from Florida aud New Orleans,
says the prospects for free Cuba
were never 30 bright. Under the
system they have organized in the
United States, there is nothing to
prevent the shipment Of arms to
Mexico. The Ward line steamers,
which sailed for Tampico June II,
and the Sugurauca, which left this
port June Is, for Vera Cruz and
Progreso, are said to have carried
consignments Of arms and ammu-

GLADSTONE BACKS OUT.
His Withdrawal From the "Pair"
Construed to Mean Opposition
to the Government.

to the Government.
LONDON, June 19.-The Times
announces this morning that Mr..
Gladstone has withdrawn from his
pairing agreement with the Right
Hon. Charles Villiers, member Of
Parliament, because he wishes to
be regarded as having an open
mind on the Welch church discs
Establishment bill.
In an editorial, commenting on
the announcement, the Times says !:
"Blow upon blow has fallen on
the government recently, but none
can be compared to this, which
means the withdrawal Of Mr.. Glad
stones moral support from Lord
Rosebery's administration. Its ef-
feet will be widespread. The i'm
mediate prestige of his name has
enabled the government to wealth
er some dangerous storms, and it is
the very foundation Of the political
fabric OF the present government.
1t IL hardly possible to escape the
conclusion that he extends his dis
approval to their general policy. 1t
is believed that he wanted more
drastic dealing with the Armenian
question. In any case his act will
complete the disintegration Of the
government, and is portend Of
dissolution that cannot be miscon-
strued."

Nothing Proved Against Lazzar-

one and the Matter is Dropped.
NEW YORK, June 1.-the
Herald says today: "The stewards
OF the Sheepshead Bay meeting,
Messrs Dolner, Galway and Burke,
continued their investigation OF
Lazzarone's running in the Subur.
ban after the last race yesterday
and the meeting lasted until long
after midnight. The decision OF
the stewards amounts to the Scotch
verdict of"Not proven" aud a dis
missal Of the case, as they find
after careful review OF Lszzar-
ones running both at Gravesend
and Sheepshead Bay that there is
no foundation for the charge made
in various quarters that Lazzar-
one was not intended to win in his
Gravesend races.
The change Of jockeys, it is de-
clared, was fully explained by the
ON ners and trainer to the satis-
faction OF the stewards as merely
a matter OF preference.
An apparent irregularity in the
registration OF the horse as shown
by the Jockey club records was
discovered during the investiga-
ton, which will make further in
vestigation necessary by the
stewards.

WASHINGTON, June l9.-Secre-
tary Carlisle has adopted regula-
tions which govern the payment Of
the bounty on sugar under the pro-
visions of the act approved March

United States from maple sap,
beets, sorghum or sugar cane grown
or produced in the United States
prior to Aug. 90, 1894, who COM

grees by the polariscope and Il per
pound on sugars testing between

duced between Aug. %, 1894, and

srs testing not less than so degrees.

LITTLE ROCK Is HOT.

Claims Determinations in Favor Of

LITTLE Rock, Ark, June 10
War is brewing between the city
Of Little Rock and the Iron Noun
tain railroad, and unless the differ
ences are settled on amicable lines
within a very short while open
hostilities are not improbable. The
trouble grows out OF the revised
tariff sheet which discriminates in
favor of Memphis and st. Louis,
and which, the business men Of
this city claim, is, in effect a Chi
nese wall around Little Rock as
fare as commerce with interior
towns Is concerned. The Board Of
Trade and the Commercial League
have combined to resist the unjust
action of the Gould system in
bottling up the Little Rock whole
sale trade and some lively CORES
pondences have passed between
Mayor Woodson and the freight
commissioner of the former road
and Traffic Manager Parker, look
ing to q settlement, but the local
business men are in no mood to
stand halfway measures and say
II they do not receive proper con-
cessions from the Iron Mountain
they will declare war to the knife
against the Gould system.

Baltic-North Sea Canal Opened.

KEEL, June 19.-After eight
years labor and expenditures Of
about 156, 200, 900 marks ($3S SOC, 000)
the great canal which joins the
Baltic sea to the German ocean is
ready for use. The entrance at
both terminals has been provid-
ed with dock gates for the pass
age Of vessels both entering and
leaving the canal. The whole
canal is lighted by electricity, and
is said to be the longest distance
In the world illuminated contin-
uously in that way.
The purpose Of the Baltic canal
is a two fold one, commercial and
naval. AS for the commercial ad-
vantsges the result is plain enough,
since the shortening Of the voyage
hitherto made around Skagarack is
considerable. The military advant-
ages accruing, lie in the fact that
henceforth, in times of war, the
German navy cannot be rent or
kept apart; provisioning in either
the Baltic or North sea cannot be
interrupted or rendered impossible.
Germany had about fifty large and
small vessels Of her imperial navy
at the opening exercises today,
while other nations were well re-
presentedI in all there being about
fifty-two foreign war vessels with
Sl4 officers and IL ,463 men present.
The United States was represented
by four vessels, IS officers and
l.497 men.

"Col. Mola is a member OF one Of

NEW YORK, June ia special
to local paper from Washington
indicates that the government has
demanded that Spain Immediately
pay the Mora claim of one and one
half million dollars or severe meas
ures will be taken for its col.
lection.
Antonio Maxine Mora was an
American citizen owning valuable
sugar property in Cuba. During
an instruction in that island it
was seized by the Spanish govern
ment and in the absence Of its
owner he was condemned and the
property confiscated. Before Spain
admitted its error in thus treating
an American citizen and his prop.
erty, there had been collected from
the estate nearly $2,500,000. When
1t was seen that the United States
government was determined that
there should be a settlement the
Spanish government offered a COM
promise. In place Of the absolute
Indebtedness to Mora, which was
admitted by the offer Of compro-
mise, Spain agreed to pay a sum of
$l,500,000 with interest on such
parts of indemnity awarded as
should be deferred.
Minister Taylor, at Madrid, has
been informed by telegraph of the
insistence of the United States
upon the prompt payment Of the
indemnity and has been directed
to press for settlement and imme-
diate payment, regardless of the
action of the proposed claims con-
vention. The dispatch went to
Minister Taylor several days ago.
The full letter Of instructions will
be in his hands in day or two at
the farthest.
The expectation is that there
will be a prompt and satisfactory
settlement and payment at once.
Should the Spanish government
neglect to properly impress upon
the Cortes the Importance of grant
ing the necessary funds, or should
the Cortes refuse to allow an ap.
preparation for Mora, the United
States government in self respect
will be constrained to try other
means to secure payment. 1t may
become necessary to occupy
Havana and to retain control of
the custom houses there until an
amount equal to the Mora in
demnity has been collected. This
could be done without offense to
international law il the United
States were not opposed by Span
ish fleet and military force at Ha-
Vana.
II 1t should be objected by Spain
on the ground that this is an awk-
ward time for an embarrassed gov
eminent to receive and entertain
such demand as that just sent to
Madrid, it is plain that Spain has
provided its own embarrassment
by presuming upon our good
nature or rather by impertinent
neglect and arrogance. II Spain
cares as much for its own self re-
spect and our good opinion as it
does for the possession of Cuba it
would have paid the Mora IN
demnity years ago. Leaving it to
be settled as 1t must now be, it will
be difficult to avoid the conclusion
that the payment Of the award Is
also the purchase of our Austen
ton from practical Intervention in
behalf of the Cuban instruction.

tends throughout the empire and its
