TO CuBA'S RESCUE.
Men Enllsting, Notwithstanding the
Heavy Risk They Run,

Washington, Dec. 15.-The attention
of the officials here has been attracted by
the stories coming from all portions of
the country indicating that enlistments
are going on of parties of men to go to
Cuba to join the insurgents in their
struggle against the Spaniards. These
enlistments are in direct violation of the
neutrality laws, and are prohibited under
severe penalties.
For accepting II commission to serve
against Spain, Il country with which the
United States is now at peace, the penalty
prescribed by section J2S1, revised
,statutes,i is $4,000 fine and three years inn
prisonment, while for enlistment to serve
against Spain or hiring any one to enlist,
the penalty is almost as heavy, being n
maximum of 81 900 fine and three years
imprisonment.
The enforcement of these laws natur-
ally falls within the functions of the
United States officials to whose knowl-
edge the attempt at infringement is
brought, but if the movements continue
on n large scale as reported, it is probable
that the Department of Justice will send
instructions of n special character to all
of its agents, calling their attention to
the proclamation issued by the President
last spring, and enjoining upon them II
strict enforcement OF the neutrality laws.
The Government doubtless will be
Obliged to DO this l.. order to manifest its
purpose to meet the requirements of inter-
national law, just as it has warned the
shipping interests against taking part in
1ilibustering movements, and has sent
rigid instructions to judicial officers mt
Atlantic ports to prevent the infraction
of the laws in that respect
THE COLORADO TROOP
Denver, Col, Dec. 15.-Aside from the
regiment of Cuban volunteers that is be.
ing organized here, under the leadership
of Attorney McAndrew,a company of 300
men has been quietly raised by DR..
Homer l.. Darpell, Il surgeon of the Oar
nell Sanitarium, and is ready to start for
Cuba rs soon rs arrangements can he
made for their transportation from the
Atlantic coast to the island. The MEM
bers of the company are all said to be
men of means, and have armed and
equipped themselves ut their own eX-
pense, and only ask that the Cuban junta
at New York arrange for their safe land
ing on Cuban soil \ brother of DR..
Darnell is in New York to perfect ar
rangments for the transportation Of the
company.
RAISING MONEY IN ST. PAUL.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Deco. 1.-THE physi-
clans of st. Paul, aroused by the reports
OF suffering among the Cubans, have
started subscription list throughout the
profession for money with which to buy
medicine and bandages to send imme-
date by way of Tampa, Fla, direct to
the camps and towns of the patriots. The
affair started with DR.. w. ID. Kelly, DR..
10. Boecock, DR. Charles a. Wheaton.
The list is growing among the ply siclans
this afternoon, and by tomorrow it is ex-
pected that IL large sum will be realized,
as Others also are subscribing. The ply
sicians sintend to buy all the medicine $,
bnndages, material, and express it to

Cincinnati, Dec. 15.-Pursuant to Il call
ISSUED by J. II. Defebaugh, publisher of

the same paper, $50 delegates, represent
ing twenty seven States, assembled here
this morning, when the national conven-
tion of lumber interests was called TO
order Previous to perfccting IL tenn
rary organization, Messrs. Judson and
Defebaugh made elaborate addresses, eX-
planning the purpose of the conventions
the requests for the call and the present
condition of the lumber business. They
appealed to the delegates from the
Southern States, which section was
largely represented. Most of the
Southern delegates have been free traders.
but in responding to the welcome adj
dresses of Judson and Defcbaugh, these
delegates insisted that if there is to be IL
protective tariff, lumber should not be
Disseminated against and they would do
ali they could TO secure Il tariff on lum-
Der.
At the afternoon session Slas Gardiner,
of Iowa, read carefully prepared paper

Il advocate that II petition II graud
petition, representing the lumber inter
ests of the entire country be sent up to
Congress asking that some reparation be
made for the incalcuable damage that

Sullivan said he voted Tor Bryan and
Pomeroy for Mckinley, and if Pomcroy

would not have been heard of. This
brought Woodbury. and dozens of others
to their feet with such Interruptions that
O,Sullivan could not proceed. Robert

followed with speeches against pomeroy.
When the previous Question was or.
dcred to shut off the clamor, Delegate

day to get the contestee's statement,
Pomcroy called upon his attendant to get

SUMMARY.
ON 'CHANGE
Business Transacted ana t>r.ces Paid at Hom G
and Abroad

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l.-The stock market
today, as judged by recent averages, was
fairly active and the distribution of busi-
ness was satisfactory. The speculation ex-
hibited considerable spirit at intervals and
the shorts We're compelled to cover in g
rather lively fashion. The paramount bull
influence was the steadily increasing move
ment of gold to this country. which has al
ready reached imposing proportions and re-
lieves, to considerable extent, the ap-
prehension caused by the ruling stringency
and the impending heavy crop handling re-
quirements. The market was all the more
encouraging to the bulls, as It proved SUI
perior to rather persistent selling of some
stocks by London and rather dlscourpging
quotations for American securities in the
early dealings. The deposits of gold in the
sub-treasury amounting to $4,000, 900 exerted
a decidedly favorable influence. Aside from
mission inquiry was noted. The traders
appeared to attach some Importance also
TO the increase reported in east-bound
shipments. Late in the day the market
was adversely affected to an extent by a
firmer tone to the. exchange market and a
per cent. The specialties were rather
prominent In the upward movement and
the ,coalers reflected increasing confidence
The news of the dissolution of the in
junction restraining the cutting of south
ern transportation rates fell rather flat on
were: Industrials, 1d3 per cent the last
rise in Burlington; coaIers'' iil@sH, and
trading reactions caused recessions from
the highest figures. The closing was steady
at sharp fractional gains on the day. The
bond market sympathiZed with the firm
ness in stocks and grains were noted of 1I
for the day aggregated sS14 .000 Govern
ments ruled strong and higher on purchases
