Reports From India - Prices VIII
Probably Remain Good Some Time.
London, Nov. "A remarka-
BILE feature Of the situation, one plainly
indicating belief that higher prices
are coming, is that the farmers in the
wheat.growing districts Of England are
firmly holding on to their stock, even
though the figures now obtained are
much higher than they ever hoped to
see again. The continued absence of
rain In the Punjab district and the
measures now being arranged by the
East Indian government to deal with q
possible famine, seem certain to make
large demands on the market next
month.
A correspondent had talk with Mr..
Schamasch, the manager Of the great
firm Of Z. d. Sassoon & Co., Of London
and Bombay, the largest and most i'm
portant London house in the East In
dian trade. 1t was his purchase OF
several cargoes for Bombay last week
that caused the first decided advance
in prices. He sasy:
II consider the prospect Of the mar
ket excellent for some months to come,
Notwithstanding the price Of wheat
shows downward tendency. 1t has
now fallen to 32s, and believe it will
drop to 30s, from which point it will
rise steadily in healthy, stable
manner. The poor potato crop both
here and on the Continent must be
taken into consideration, as an impor-
tant element in predicting the grain
outlook. 1t is almost certain that ON
this account France will become an
importer, and when France begins to
import prices will go mp 2 or 8 shil-
lings in a week. Germany and Hol-
land also have suffered in their potato
crop, so they. too, will become import
ers, which will increase the strength
of the market and maintain prices at a
good level.
AS to India, the pinch of want will
not be felt there for some months. any
way, as they have enough stock to keep
them going. Ii cannot yet be said
with certainty that they will have a
famine at all. Rain may come. and if
it does the crop will be saved. OF
course the stocks in India are held by
speculators, who may manipulate the
market. in which event we shall have
exciting times. The importation of
wheat into India has reached SO far
only moderate proportions bought
three cargoes and another firm bought
one cargo for India. That is all As
to Argentina, we estimate that we
shall get 4,0O0.o00 quarters at least
from there.
THE reaction in the market is due
to stable state of nervousness produc,
ing an incursion of outsiders, when
prices began to improve. This reac-
tion will prove beneficial in shaking
of the weak holders, when trade will
beign to improve, as already explained,
on stable, healthy basis, and prices
will rise steadily"

BRICE WRATHY.
Reused by the Resolutions Passed
DenOuncing Santa Fe Bonds

WASHINGTON March 19.-An interesting
personal controversy between Senator Brice
of Ohio, and Gov. Thornton, of the territory
of New Mexico, enlivened today's meeting Of
the house committee on territories. 1t grew
out of the action of Senator Brce in secur-
Ing senate amendment to a house bill to
validate bonds issued by the territory for
building its new capitol. The Brice amend
ment made the bill include bonds for STR
the Santa Fe railway and dated March l.
1892. When the news of the action reached
New Mexico the people of Santa Fe county
held mass meeting, which was attended
by the governor, adopted resolutions brand
ing the bonds as fraudulent and denouncng
the action of Senator Brice as having been
inspired by personal motives.
Today the house committee gave hearing
to the bond question, which was attended by
Gov. Thornton. Senator Brice arose and
with considerable warmth requested Chair
man Scranton to read a telegram containing
the resolutions which he had received from
New Mexico. This the chairman did.
Senator Brice then made a speech in
which he denounced emphatically that his
action had been dictated by other than proper
motives, and inquired of Gov. Thornton if he
associated him (Brice) with the frauds in
connection with the bonds. Gov. Thornton
replied that he did not in any way as the
frauds occurred in the organization of the
road, before Brice became a party thereto.
The governor explained that he had been
a member of the meeting which adopted the
resolutions and had voted for them, but dis
Senator Brice, and said that he would with
draw any imputations Of personal dishonesty
against the senator so far as he was con-
cer0ed.

NOT QUITE FAST ENOUGH.
ETHEL RED LOST HER BEFORE THE
CHASE WAS WELL BE-

WAS FIRED ON A YEAR Ago
Not the First Time That Shin Has
Been i'm Trouble With the
Spanish Navy.

BOSTON, Mass, March 10. - The
British steamship Ethelred, which ar
rived here from Jamaica today, reports
that she was chased for an hour and
a half by Spanish cruiser on Wednes-
day, March II, while on her outward
passage from this port to Jamaica. The
Ethelred was too fast for the cruiser
which could apparently make only
about nine knots an hour to the steam
er's fifteen knots. The chase began
about p. m, when the Ethelred was
about eight miles off Cape May. The
Spanish vessel hoisted a flag. The Eth
elred did likewise, and continuing on
her voyage, paid no further heed to
the warship. The latter, however.
started in hot pursuit, and continued
the chase for ninety minutes, when
she gave it up, as the Ethelred had
been constantly drawing away from
her. No shots We're fired from the
warship. The passengers on the Ethel
red became greatly excited. The officers
of the steamship claim that they were
outside the three-mle limit, and that
they were justified in evading any at
tempt to detain them. The Ethelred
is notorious from having been fired up
on last summer by a Spanish cruiser.

ity of the prisoner and his defense,
which sought to make NJ o. Hall. pres.

crime. Sentiment around town is di-
vided, but the feeling that Stuckey
has been the victim of persecution is
strengthened by the verdict. Judge
Netheway, of Saltwater, is Stuckey's
attorney.
In today's proceedings Stuckey's tes-
timony was not shaken on the crosse
examination. He explained away Teller
Barnes statement that Stuckey had
claimed in conversation that the s4.5OO
draft was on his uncle. Stuckey meant
that the draft was for Barnes uncle,
meaning President Hall. Photographers
Hall testified to Halls asking HIM
in January what time of the day after
Stuckey skipped Hall came To him
to have pictures of Stuckey taken.
Hall claimed Thompson was wrong,
but finally changed his entries in q
memorandum book. Teller Ask, of the
National Bank of Commerce, testified
to conversation with Hall shortly
after Stuckey's flight, in which Hall
said he had warned Stuckey he would
discharge him if he didn't quit gam
bling, and that he had determined who
would be his successor and that that
was doubtless partly the reason for
his flight. Hall then went on the stand
and denied taking the money. He knew
nothing about the false entry until

PITCHED BATTLE.
Engagement at Pinar del Rio Was Il
Give-and-Talxe Fight.

HAVANA, March ia dispatch from Colon
says that insurgents of that vicinity have
hanged a respectable citizen. Lieut.. Rodrig-
nerez. with detachment of ten soldiers, went
in pursuit, and was surprised. The lieutenant
and four soldiers were killed. During the
storm of Monday last the Spanish gunboat Ar
dalla ran ashore near Trinidad. She has now
been hoated, but is found to have sustained
considerable damage. In a skirmish near
Arroyo Col. Martinezs command killed four
insurgents and captured one officer. A guer-
rilia force at Paso LagunillaS killed FIVE in
surgents. The escort Of an exploring train
also caused the insurgents a loss of three.
Gen. Prats, while reconnoitering near Colon,
killed three insurgents.
Details of the fight between Col. Yucklans
forces and the insurgents under Maceo near
Candelaria are still meager, but the losses
incurred in the Spanish troops are admitted to
have been serious. The engagement was more
in the nature of a pitched battle than any
previous one during the insurrection, and the
attack made by the insurgents was bold and
effective. telegram received today from
Gen. Lnares at Cayajacabos admits this
much, and says the troops are worthy of the
highest praise, as they had to attack in the
open, and the enemy were barricaded behind
stone walls. Gen. Linares also reported that
a column, under Lieut.. Frances, had taken
the insurgent position after a stubborn de-
fense directed by Maceo, Banderas and Del
gate. Maceo was encamped today at the plan
tation OF Lora, west of San Cristobal having
penetrated farther into Pinar Del Rio since
his battle with Col. Yucklan and Hernandez.
Col. Hernandez reports having had two fights
with the insurgents and he has returned
from the plantation of Merced. At Montesine
he reports fighting Maceo, Banderas and Pere-
QuitepereZ with la loss to himself of seven
wounded. The report says that the insurgents
left in both these fights twenty knlled. Gen.
Bernal, while accommodating the planta-
tion of Portugalate left detachment of his
cavalry on the Amelia plantation The latter
fought the insurgent bands of Hernandez
Palacio and Latra. Five insurgents were
killed and many were supposed to be wounded.
1t is very evident that the forces of Gomez
Banderas and Maceo are much the best armed
in the insurgent forces other bands having
only about 30 per cent of their number armed.
The insurgents are disheartened by the wound
ing Of the brothers Garcia, one of them an in
surgent brigadier general, and the other a
