La ,Lachuna is Only LunV.

NEW YORK, June "A dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says:
La l. achuns, the recognized per-
sonal organ Of Cap. Gen. Weyler,
discredits the report that Spain is
ready to accept Cleveland's good
offices to induce the rebels to &C
cept home rule.
La Lachuna adds: "Proffered
American mediation is the best
proof that the insurgent move
ment here is really inspired by the
Washington government, In the
hope OF forcing Spain into a new
trade treaty amounting to virtual
annexation of the Island OF Cuba
to the United States. Spanish
statesmen, however, are too
shrewd to fall into the trap"

FRANC0-SPAIN.
THE SPANIARDS RELY ON FRANCE
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
Commercial Reasons, Trade Interests and
Financial Considerations All Make
France the National Ally
of Spain.

NEW YORK, June A dispatch
to the World from Madrid says:
Among the reasons that have en-
couraged the Spanish to look to
France for assistance is the fact
that at every stage Of their diff
culties with the United States dur.
ing the past II months the French
press has shown more sympathy
than the press Of any other ma
ton. The Spanish press argue
that the French and Spanish never
had so many interests in common.
In Algiers, in the Mediterranean
and in Egypt, their financial and
commercial connections alone
would justify general under
standing. Three-quarters OF all
the shares and bonds of the
Spanish railways are in the hands
of French capitalists, who also
have invested several hundred
millions Of dollars in Spanish pub
lie works, gas and electric COM
panies, mines and wine growing
estates and municipal loans. Last
but not least, French investors
hold about $4,000, 900 Of the Span
ish per cent debt and about the
same amount of Cuban bonds.
French bankers advanced last
year 100000 to the Cuban &C
count, and since then they have
made further advances on Cuban
bonds for war expenses. Besides
the financial connection, Spain
has q considerable commercial
connection with France, as 40 per
cent of her total imports come
from France and about SO per cent
Of the total exports 60 to France.
The Spaniards believe that France
must assist her some day, because
of her American colonies, because
Of her pan-American canal scheme,
and because her trade with Cuba
and Porto Rico has suffered more
from competition with American,
all of which make her all the more
liable to resent American interior
ence in Cuban affairs.

EGYPTIAN COTTON
Now in Competition With the American
Product,

Now in Competition With the American
Product
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Inspired
by the high prices realized by the
cottvn crop in 1866, the Egyp-
tian planters have this spring in
creased the area to the maximum
limit permitted by the country's
irrigation facilities. The exact
figures are not procurable, but the
estimated increase OF the acreage
is from to S per cent, and
this seasons area approximates
1,150,000 acres. The greatest per-
centage of increase is in the prov
inces OF South Cairo. Conserva-
tive forecasters believe the crop
will yield 10000 bales, $4,000 be-
ing equivalent to 1,125,0OC Ameri-
can bales, and the largest ever
raised in the Nile valley. 1t Is
predicted on account of the heavy
increase in the shipments to Amer
lea, probably the United States
will buy $1,000 bales OF the Egyp-
tian crop, equal to about lOO,O
bales In American weight. These
facts are reported to the state de-
partment by United States Consul
General Penfield, at Cairo.

the hugle sounded for us to be up.
We were preparing to break camp
when suddenly there was q call to
arms. A moment later there came
a perfect rain OF bullets. Then the
insurgents began to close In upon
us. Several times they came down
upon us with tremendous fury,
swinging machettes above their
heads, but 1t was impossible for
them to stand before the fire OF
our mausers.
awe were under the constant
menace of the machetts until past
noon, when the enemy apparently
withdrew. A consultation was
held by our officers, and it was
learned that retreat was cut OF.

"sThus we fought on, our boys
falling about us in dreadful man

distant boom Of a cannon. We
knew that assistance had arrived
from Bahia Honda and the enemy
was being attacked in the rear.
"'The insurgent squad fire was
