A Radical Change.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The announce
ment of the appointment of General Val
eriano Weyler as captain general OF
Cuba was received at Cuban headquar-
tiers here as confirmatory of the view
they had already expressed upon the
news Of Campos' retirement, that there
has been a radical change in the policy
of the Spanish cabinet and that hence
forth there is to be a reign of blood and
terror in Cuba. The change in the cab
met itself, in the retirement of the Duke
OF Tetuan and the succession of Senior
Ell Buayen as minister of foreign affairs,
is regarded as still further confirming
this idea. General Weyler is a veteran
soldier and has had his own experience
in Cuban revolutions, for he followed
Cuba for years during the last revolu-
ton. with the rank of colonel and earned
for himself a dreadful reputation as a
man of blood and iron.
Moreover, the Cuban leaders here hint
at action of cruelty to women and de-
fenseless prisoners in his past in fash
ion that augurs i'll for the rebels who
come within his power and they predict
that he will soon become involved in
trouble with the United States govern
ment as the result of i'll treatment of
American citizens who may be unfortuu-
ate enough to fall under suspicion. Gen
eral Weyler quilted Cuban ground soon
after the suppression of the last rebel
lion and has since dwelt in Spain, holding
the important position of captain general
of the province of Catalonia.

THREE DIVIDENDS.

The directors Of the Kaysville Coop
erative Mercantile Institution have de-
clared dividend Of 10 per cent on their
capital stock of $4,000. According to
the secretary's annual report the in
stitution is in a f1ourishing condition.
The volume of business transacted
during 1895 was about rer cent in ex-
cess of that done in 1894, and this is
made more noticeable by the fact that
the first six months of 1895 showed a
decrease of per cent compared with
the corresponding period of the year
previous The last six months has
more than made up the deficiency.
The Barnes Banking company have
declared a 4 per cent dividend on their
capital stock of $4,000, and in addition
to this $1,000 were added to their indi-
Vidual profits.
The stockholders meetings of both
of these institutions will be held next
Monday for the purpose of eIecting
boards of directors for the ensuing
year.

Gently declared a regular semi-annual
dividend of 4 per cent. The Institution

ket is found for all its products

Strengthening the NAVY.

Whatever may be the moving cause, the
House Committee on Naval Affairs is
nianifesting a spirit of oommendable lib
crafty on the subject of increasing the
strength of the navy. 1t is given out that
at least four, perhaps even six new battle
ships viii be provided for, and also a

sion will be given for Tie enlistment of one
thousand more men, as requested 10y Secre-

will have assumed proportions that will
give 1t comma nding status among the
naFies OF the world. The increase, how
ever, should not be drawn out over too
long a period, but ought to be carried on

ST. PAUL READY AGAIN.
Report OF the Inspectors Sustains

Captain Jamison.
Philadelphia, Feb. 19.-The American
line steamer st. Paul, now in dry dock
at Newport News, will leave that port on
Sunday next for New York. and will sail
for Southampton on Wednesday, the 26th in
stant, rcsuming her regular place in the
service.
This Information was given by Mr.. Hardy,
secretary to General Manager Higbee, at
the company's office, today. Regarding
the steamers injuries by her renIa rka ble
experiences on the Long Branch beach, Mr..
Hardy said:
The st. Paul sustained no material
damage. Two of her keel plates had
small dents in them, which / understand
can he Strengthened out without taking out
the plates. The story about her machinery
being out of line is all rot. Every bolt.
pin. bar and rivet in the machinery has
been carefully examined and tested; her
engines are in as good condition as they
were on the day she started on her maiden
voyage.
New York, Feb. 19.-Capt. Samuel G..
Fairchild and Thomas II. Barrett of the
local board of United States inspectors of
steam vessels, have finished their report
upon the stranding of the American line
steamer st. Paul. 1t is n lengthy docu-
ment, dealing largely with technicalities,
and in conclusion, says:
I'VE find that Capt. Jamison was not
unskilied in the navigation of his ship,
nor negligent of his duty, and we are salts

that his long experience and successful
career as ship master suggested.

TO put them out OF commission for a time.
This policy is dictated by true economy.
and is pursued by all the great maritime
powers.
The growth of the navy, however, con-
ditions other things. In keeping step with
the increasing numbers of its vessels the
government ought to have more dock yards
especially on the Pacific coast, where
ships can be promptly overhauIed or re-
paired. 1t ought to have naval and coal
ing stations i'll the oceans of the world
SO that its ships need not be dependent
upon the good graces OF other governments
for supplying their necessities nor paw
eXorbitant prices for their fuel While
the United States should not 20 into the
iaBd-grabbing business, like Great Britain.
it should seek to acquire by purchase or
negotiation sufficient number of naval
stations to accommodate our vessels as
they are on their cruises.
1t is idle folly for the United States to at
tempt to stand on one leg, SO to speak. The
naval establishment of a nation like ours
includes all the essentials pointed out
above.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. FEBRUARY 90 1896.
ANOTHER BOASTFUL
CLAIM EXPOSED.
The Star Cannot Verify Its
Statement, and Is There
fore a Silly Braggart.

fOre a Silly Braggart.
Yesterday the Star stated
that its circulation reached
S2I per cent of all the occu-
pied houses in Washington,
which is a claim as false as it
is absurd and as absurd as
anything lacking sense could
possibly be. At the time of
the publication of the deIin-
quent tax list for 1894 it was
eStim ated atthe District Build
ing that there were $4,000 oc-
cupied houses ia the city of
Washington. If he entire cir
culation Of the Star were de-
livered to occupies houses it
wouia require a daily average
of Al, ,25O to place a single
copy i'm S2K per cent of the
number Of houses on record
in the Commissioners office,
and as the Star only claims in
its last sworn statement a
daily average circulation of
81, SAT it is difficult TO see
how it can make that number
go around.
To make the falSity of the
Stars boaStful claim still more
apparent it should be remem-
bered that nearly one-half the
circulation Of every daily
newspaper is absorbed by
street and newsstand sales.
and suburban and mail and
exchange lists, a large pro-
portion of which never e1terS
the homes of resident citi-
zens. But admitting that 2O,-
600 of the Stars circulation
reaches the occupied houses
of Washington, it will be seen
that its boast must be cut in
twain to stand the test of in
Vestigation.
The truth is that The Times
has the largest bona-fide cir
culation in Washington. A
comparison of its sworn state
ment with that of the Star
verifies this assertion, and an
inquiry among the people will
still further prove its correct
ness. There was a time when
the Star could ride rough shod
over the public and insolently
claim everything in sight. but
fortunately for the good of
Washington that day is no
longer here. Perhaps our eve
ming contemporary is begin
ming to realize that fact.

Mir. Mills asked Mr.. Martin if he smoked,
and, receiving an affirmative reply, took
a cigar from his POCKET and handed it to
him. The cigar itself was presumably of
such superior quality that it was care

Of the burning tobacco was strongly fla

whole District an enormous SUM TO grade
