A Probable Result.

the American Refining company,
known as the Sugar trust. has secured
the Woolson Spice company of Toledo
be true. it is not improbable that the
result may be a compromise between
the trust and Arbuckle Brothers. The
ArbuckleS may abandon their intention
to build a sugar refinery in considsra-
ton of the Sugar trust turning over
to them the Woolson company. The
ArbuckleS proposed to build a refinery
with capacity of 1000 barrels a day,
or practically 100000 barrels a year.
This is a big trade to lose. There
would be more money for the trust in
keeping it than in going into the cof-
fee-roasting and grinding business in
opposition to the Arbuckles. There is
some reason for the trust engaging in
distilling of spirits, for it can utilize a
by-product of its sugar refineries,
which now largely go to waste. 1t has
not yet started up its distillery in
Brooklyn.
The fight between the Sugar trust
and the Arbuckles began about a year
ago. At that time, the Arbuckles
wanted particularly large lot of sugar
for their coffee trade. which the trust
could not or would not furnish. The
Arbuckles were provoked. and at once
began planning TO make sugar for
themselves. They opened negotiations
for the purchase of the Camden, n. j.,
sugar refinery. which was in course of
construction. and was recently finished.
The trust stepped in and bought the
refinery. whereupon the Arbuckles de-
clared their intention to build a re-
finery adjacent to their coffee works in
Brooklyn. The trust decided TO make
war on the ArbuckleS. 1t fitted up one
of its idle refineries with a coffee-roast-
iLt; outfit. This outfit stands idle, to-
day, because the trust found a better
move could be made by buying out
the Arbuckle's principal competitor,
the Woolson company. Before this was
done, it is said the trust learned that
the Arbuckles had undertaken a bull
deal in coffee and had loaded up with
a large lot of green coffee. The trust
saw its opportunity to force down
coffee. The first drop took place last
week. The Sugar trust has offered to
exchange its common stock dollar for
dollar, for the stock of the Baltimore
Sugar refinery, and to pay part in cash
for the preferred stock. The offer has
been accepted.

Havana, Dec. 20.-The demonstra-
tions Of joy over the death of Maceo
have not yet ended. There was a
largely attended excursion TODAY from
Havana TO Punta Bravo, in honor of
Major Ciruiedas' column, which killed

and would not discuss the latest phase
of the Cuban situation.

here today from Louisville, where he
was taken when arrested to prevent

San Francisco, Dec. 2O.-Bob Fitz-

leave for New York on Monday or
Tuesday. Fitzsimmons said last even
ing that Corbett will be accommodated
with a good side wager, and that he
will see him in a week or two to ar
range particulars.
IF Corbett is not satisfied with a
side wager of $4,000, 1 think 1 can

simmons. in a pleasant sort of way.

secured such good financial support
that he will fight all the better. 1 am

Cleveland Distributes Some Fat Ones
Among Members of the Cabinet.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-The president
returned to the White House at s
o'clock this morning and attended
church little later with Mrs Cleve-
land. He appeared much benefited by
his outing and brought back numerous
fat ducks, which he caused to be dis
tributed among the members of his
cabinet and his personal friends Sec
rotary Thurber called to see him and
spent some time telling him of events
that had occurred during his absence,
but no official business was taken up
and it is not believed that the presi
dent feels called upon to add anything
TO the Cuban controversy at present
During the day Secretary Olney made
his appearance at the executive man
sion and had brief consultation with
the president, and while there is no
official guarantee for the assertion, it
is not to be questioned that their con-
versation referred almost solely to the
latest phase in the Cuban situation.

IT WILL BE A
BATTLE ROYAL
Fight Now on Between Have
meyer and ArbuckIe.
IT IS SUGAR VS.. COFFEE
JUST WHERE THE END WILL BE
is PRoBLEMATICAL.
There Are Those Who Believe That
the Result Will Be Compromise
How the Fight Between the
Monopolists Began-It Is Case,
Apparently, of Greer Meeting
Greek.

Chicago, Dec. pa special from To-
ledo, O., says. The immense deal by
which the sugar trust comes into pos
session of the Woolson Spice company
has been closed and the money paid
over. Notwithstanding the fact that
Havemeyer's agents have been in To-
ledo for over month. nobody but the
directors of the Woolson company was
aware of the fact. Lawrence Newman
has been in New York for week to
close the details of the transfer. One
singular fact is that, Notwithstanding
the big price paid, the Woolson people
were forced into making the deal
Havemeyer desired to make fight on
Arbuckle, and TO do it it was necessary
that he should meet him in his own
field-coffee.
When first approached, the Woolson
people asked $500 a share.
Havemeyer refused to treat on such
terms. He would give $1,000 Have
meyer was willing TO pay 100000 or
Whereabouts in the purchase of club
with which to thrash Arbuckle. This
was some weeks ago. 1t was found
that the book value of the stock was
over $1,000. He threatened to establish
a coffee plant and go into the business
on a large scale. He would cut prices
so that the competition would hurt
the Woolson company quite as much
as it would the Arbuckle.
Mr.. Newman went on TO New York
and saw Mr.. Havemeyer, and an agree
ment was reached. 1t Was that the
sugar trust people should get LOO of
the 1900 shares of stock at 81, 80 per
share. So the sale in round numbers
was 81 PCS, 900 for eleven eighteenths Of
the entire stock. So secretly were the
negotiations conducted that it IS said
that some of the smaller stockholders
were not aware of the deal until they
read it in the papers yesterday.
1t is understood in Toledo when
Havemeyer gets through with Ar
buckle the property will revert back to
the Toledo owners.

MR.. PERKINS IDEA.
Thinks Nothing Will Be Done Before
March 18th.

Chicago. Dec "A number OF con-
gressmen on their way home for the hoii-
days spent Sunday in Chicago. Repre-
sentative Perkins OF Iowa was seen by a
United Associated Presses representative
and sasked regarding the Cameron resolu-
ton
1.-The chances are" said he that con-
gress will do nothing with the Cameron
resolution before the 4th of March. The
house of representatives is disposed to be
more conservative than some of the
newspapers make it. My observation is
that public opinion is in favor of consider
ing the matter carefully. and IL the
speaker is not in favor of the resolution
it may never get out of the committed
It is likely, too. that ii may not come
over from the senate much before the
LIST OF February"
The belief IS current among the western
members of congress who were here to-
day that Major Mckinley would not look
with satisfaction upon any action by con-
gress on the Cuban question which
savored of haste and undue excitement.

Berlin, Dec 20.-The situation in re-

the foreign relations committee of the
United States senate, in agreeing to a
resolution recognizing the indeDend-
ence of the island, caused the Berlin

Especial to The Herald.)


Washington, Dec. 2O-Neither Sena-
tor Sherman, chairman of the foreign
relations committee. nor Senator Nor
gan Of that committee believe that
there is any danger of war with Spain
as a result of the possible adoption of
the Cameron resolution. Both of them
were interviewed by The Herald cor
respondent tonight.
sHERMAN's VIEWS.
Senator Sherman thinks the resolu-
ton is simply a recognition of the re
public of Cuba" and as such gives
that country authority to send repre-
sentatives to the United States. Con-
tinuing, he said: I'VE recognized the
independence of Mexico, Peru, Bolivia
and Chill and of other South American
republics while they were still strug-
Cling against Spain. and that was not
considered a cause for war on the part
of that country. Spain recognized the
independence Of the confederacy in 1861
before a single battle had been fought,
if we except the firing on Fort Stump
ter. and yet that was not considered
cause for war
Senator Sherman said that in case
the president vetoed the resolution it
could be passed over his head.
MoRGAN's VIEWS.
Senator Morgan, in speaking of the
possibility Of Spain securing the aid
of some other European power in war
against the United States, said: Il do
not think she could secure the assist
ahce of any power against us. You
must remember that Europe is an
armed camp. There are millions of
men under arms over there, and for
What2 To watch each other. The
moment any one OF them interfered.
she would find herself harrassed at
home. But this is no reason why Spain
should become involved in war with
us, simply because we recognize the
independence of the Cubans. You
probably noticed that the resolution
was amended to read the republic of
Cuba, but the second section leaves a
way out for Spain, because it says
that the United States will use its
friendly offices TO bring the war to a
conclusion There viii be no undue
haste in pressing the resolutions to a
vote. When laid before the senate it

trouble today from internal dissensions
than she does from rebellions in Cuba
and in the Philippines.

Spain, and any act of the present gov

about its downfall will be taken ad-

laration on that part of the document
which refers 10 the Cuban question
Conferences have been held during
the past few days between the most
prominent men in political life III Spain
with the object of seeking a solution
of the problem which cOnfronts the
government and which might cause a
var with the United States. 1t is con-
Ceded IN al political circles that the
situation is grave, but il is thought
that the willingness of Spain to grant
reforms in the Spanish West Indies
should tend to avert any display of
aggressiveness on the part of the
United States. One point is settled
upon. and that is that no reforms shall
be put into effect in Cuba until the in
surrection shall be suppressed, for it is
held that to offer reforms with the Gu
bans still in arms would indicate weak
ness on the part of SDain and would
also be derOgatory tc her honor.
