BY SHEER FORCE OF ARMS.
What Cuban Editor Has to Say About
the Island.


New York, Nov. 19.-Manuel NJ Co.
ranado, the editor of the Cuban patriot
newspaper La Discussion published in
Havana, who escaped from that city in
the last days of October, after General
Weyler had ordered his arrest, reached
New York this morning and went to the
home of his brother, Francisco Coronado.
He brought with him important news
for the junta in this city and early in the
afternoon visited the.headquarters.
When he learned by private tips that
Weyler had ordered his arrest he disguised
himself and while troops surrounded his
house made n thrilling escape and ship
ped as Il sailor to New Orleans and COM
ing on to New York by rail, arriving this
morning. In reply to Il question as to the
general feeling of people living in Cuba
he said through an interpreter:
'Span holds Cuba by sheer force of
arms The whole country, Spanish and
Cuban alike desire peace even ut almost
any sacrifice, and although it may seem
strange the Spanish element is quite as
pronounced in this feeling rs the Cuban
and wish peace and independence of Cuba.
lit is thought that Cuba again under
Spanish rule would be unable to pay the
enormous war debt, already incurred, or
to stand the tremendous taxation which
'''A'' S'ietepiS pC iiiipcSCu ny bOpulll
upon Cuba and another uprising would
under those conditions follow. Spain
would have to expend great sums of
money to keep Cuba in submission. The
war debt now is estimated Mt $500, 000,-
600 and is accommodating at the rate of
81, 100000 month
IF Cuba gained her independence in
the struggle, and 1 hope and maintain
that she will, she will start afresh with
wonderful possibilities before her Spain
will soon be forced by lack of funds to
withdraw her troops.
''Weyler does as he pleases His latest
edict is that all persons, men, women
and children, who are found outside of
the Spanish lines, shall be considered
rebels and shot rs such. This edict was
published only in the official gazette in
Havana, which circulates among Spanish
officers and officials only. There was no
way in which those outside of these cir
cles could learn of the edict. There is
no railroad to Pinar del Rio from Ha
vana, land it is this province that the edct
has cost the greatest loss of life People
taken under this--edict are marched ont
side the gates of the city and shot down
by the soldiers. The reports of prisoners
captured by Weyler are only the capture
of these poor devilsn

COTTON MARKET CONDITIONS

New York, Nov. 19.--The cables at
hand when the cotton market opened this
morning did not reflect the weakness in
Liverpool expected to follow the sharp
decline of the previous day here. The
first call, therefore, was at unchanged
prices to an advance of , points. Later
cables were unfavorable and the market
sold off 10a11 points on the more active
positions. The decline was assisted by
unsatisfactory reports from Southern
spot markets and by indications of a con-
tinued heavy movement of cotton at the
ports 1t is believed, however, that liqui-
dation has been quite thorough and few
buying orders turned the market for an
advance of 5a7 points on the more active
months, with the market finally steady
and the net changes sh owing point de-
cline to point advance.
