present, but so far as noise was concerned
there might have been n thousand. Leading

was granted plenary powers to negotiate

vesting the same power In the committee rs

A LARGE FAILURE.
The Diamond Match and New York Bis

Speculative deals In Diamond Match and
New York Biscuit stocks has come to an
end. The Moore Brothers have failed. The
greatest speculation ever known In Chicago
has eliminated in the failure of the people
who were behind the deal.
The speculative deal OF which the failure
Is the elimination Is by all odds the most
important In the history Of the Chicago stock
exchange affairs. II began early in this
year. The stock OF the Diamond Match
company had been selling all along Mt 1870
for quite time, and there had been special
activity In the market. Just prior to the
Venezuelan incident the tip had gone out on
inside circles thar there were to be some i'm
portant European d, ,velopments In connec-
tion with Diamond Match affairs and the
buying Of the stock commenced by strong
people.

speculation and the stock dropped during

A break came, and the Moore's became

know that the Diamond Match failure will
cause loss OF almost $4,000, 900 to the

RIOTS in SPAIN.
Serious Disturbances Have Occurred in
Valencia


Trouble OF serious nature Il being
fomented In Spain, particularly In the prov
lnce Of Valencia, by agents OF the Cuban In
surgents The minister OF the interior,
senor Cos-Gayon, replying to question In
the Chamber Of Deputies, admitted that d
number OF riots had occurred In Valencia,
and when asked TO explain the cause OF the
disturbances, said that they we're caused by
friends of the Cuban insurgents who hoped
thereby TO prevent the departure OF further
reinforcements Of troops to Cuba. Hither-
to the popular demonstrations have
been attributed TO protest against
the imposition OF new taxes,
step made necessary by the financial strain
the government has been subjected 10
through carrying on the campaign against
the insurgents of Cuba. But, while the gov.
ernment Is only willing to admit that the
riots have been instigated by the agents OF
the Cuban revolutionists, II Is generally ad-
mitted that the roots OF the trouble are much
deeper and that II Is being nourished by the
natural feeling Of alarm and dismay at the
apparent inability Of the government to cope
with the situation In Cuba. That the large
Spanish army in Cuba must be still further
and heavily reinforced Is looked upon here
rs being u confession OF weakness upon the
part OF the administration, and as an admis-
sion OF the growing strength OF the Cubans.
