that they would soon be driven from tie
Western Hemisphere hardly admits of n
doubt. The navy of the United States is
in splendid trim and there is u general
desire in naval circles to have the eff

tested. Spain would suit as well as any
other country to begin the trial with, and
as Cuba would be the great prize con
tended for the island and all the cap
purtenances" would soon fall into the
hands of the United States.
The patriots have been gaining steadily
since the war ssfor independence began
but it is believed the feeling for annexa-
ton to the United States would become
so strong in the event Of n war between
this country and Spain that as soon rs
hostilities ceased Cuba would drop like
a ripe plum into the lap OF Uncle Sam
a any rate there are brighter times in
store for the people of the unhappy is
land. The power of Spain over Cuba
will soon be broken, and whether it be-
comes an independent republic or IL State
of the American Union, there is certain
to be an early and II rapid development
of it's resources.

The heated atmosphere is tempered by
the breezes of the ocean, and the noun

CONFIDENCE RETURNING

New York, Nov. 1.-THE New York
Financier says this week: The effects of
a return of confidence are plainly shown
in the statement of the clearing house
banks of New York city for the
week ending November H. The expan.
sion of gold has probably never been
cqualled in IL similar time
The movement is now purely volun-
tary, and if the increase of $S,000,00O in
the United States Treasury is added to
the amount received by the New York
banks it will be seen that over SIC, 000,-
COG in gold has already come into sight
since the election from these two sources
alone. How many other banks through
out the country are carrying these there
is no exact means Of knowing but the
total must be enormous. Fer the first
time in weeks domestic change in inter.
Tor points has risen to Il premium and
the banks of New York are now gaining
largely in cash from these sources.
