after the landing Of the troops, the
queens cabinet called on Minister Stevens
to ask the aid of the United States

answered:
"Genllemeu, these men were landed

cannot use this force for sustaining the
queen or anybody else. !"
This remark was made and this assur-
ance given before the Queen had been de-
posed, and her cabinet knew that the
United States troops would not interfere
in the affair in any way.
Thirty two armed citizens OF the Com

THEY CAUGHT TIE GANG Officers Bodeker and EIIard Arr rest a Nest of Burglars. MEAT FROM A BOILING POT Will Be Used in Evidence-A Smooth Piece of Detective Work by the Birmingham
 Police.

Officers Ellard and Bodeker are strict ly up-to-date when it comes to appre- hending criminals. Wednesday his t the wholesale house of B. F. Roden 6 Co., was burglarized. Entrance was effected from the rear, on Morris avenue, by prizing open the back doors. Once in the burglars put out their lights and made general raid. In the office, on account of the warm weather, they found three fine overcoats hanging on the pegs, where the clerks had left them. These they slipped over their Unprotected shoulders, and with the coming warmth they made @ raid on the stock of goods. They took away with them kits of cheese and packages of beef tongue.
 Next morning, yesterday, the burglary was reported to police headquarters as soon as the theft was learned.
 Chief Mcdonald summoned his shrewd officers, Bodeker and Ellard, and before o'clock the burglars were behind the bars and the stolen property recovered, even to the beef tongue, which Officer Bodeker plucked from a boiling pot in Buzzard Roost, to be used as evidence.
 To smart officials the capture was easy Bodeker saw one of the negroes wearing descriptive overcoat on First avenue He immediately arrested him and put the screws to him, which means that the prisoner readily gave up all in formation in his knowledge concerning the burglary. Trouble might be expect ed in the arrest of the others, so Bode- ker requested Ellard to accompany him to Buzzard Roost. There the brave po- lice found the other members of the bur glarzing party, and the pot scene with it's boiled tongue was unexpectedly dis turbed.
 The bold burglars captured are all colored, as follows: Jack Clark, alias Charley Cleveland. This is not the Charley Cleveland who has figured prominently in Birmingham politics. Henry Sassine, Will Howard. alias Will Daniels. Lulu Williams was arrested for receiving the stolen property.
 Some of the goods were recovered that had been taken recently Srom Geor- gia Pacific railway car.
 Two cases were entered against the woman.
 The negro Sassine, it is said, is wanted in Atlanta for killing another negro. The information is that he shot at a woman and hit negro man.

GOOD NEWS FROM CUBA.
The Insurgents Are We'll Armed and Dis ciplined-Hayana is Panic {
 Stricken.

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 2-New light on the actual numerical strength of the Cuban insurgent army under the direct command of Generals Gomez and Maceo, and concerning the great destruction of crops, was furnished upon the arrival in Philadelphia today of the British steam CT Ardandhu, which sailed from Havana on December 29 last. This information is to the effect that these two generals alone had 23,0 900 men massed under them, and that Havana was in great state of confusion and excitement.
 During the first part of the steamships s voyage along the Cuban coasts fields of blazing corn and cane could be seen for a long distance. The scene of devasta ton extended all the way from Havana to Cardenas and millions of dollars worth of property was soon reduced to ashes.
 There is financial panic impending in Havana, it is said, owing to Spains lack of both money and credit The young military reserves, who have not been paid for months and have survived the yellow jacket, openly curse the cause or Spain and threaten to revolt.
 John c. Deemer, an American civil en- gineer, who was passenger on the Ardandhu, had been on railroad traln that was stopped by the insurgent army five miles from Cardenas. Instead or there being only 5000 insurgents, as re- ported from Spanish sources, there were, he says, at least 1SO00 men under the command of Gomez, and 5000 some dis tance in the rear under Maceo Some idea of the army, he says, may be gath cred from the fact that the troops were three hours and forty minutes in march- ing across the railroad. There was also a train of 100 mules loaded with provis- ions and ammunition. He says the sol diers were ragged after their march through the forests, but well armed and disciplined. The passengers on the train were not disturbed, but the official mails were seized and passed into the possess sion of Gomez. The other postal matter was carried to Havana on board the Ardandhu

AGAINST A WAR.
The New York Chamber of Commerce Re-
 solves to Keep Out of It.

Iue NeW Ork CnamD6r or commerce tt0 solves to Keep Out oft.
 New York, Jan. 2.-At the regular monthly meeting of the chamber of com merce today MT. Francis B. Thurber, chairman of the committee on foreign commerce and the revenue laws, sub mitted report on the Venezuelan ques- ton, which says in part:
 Since the last meeting of the chamber sudden and deplorable check has been given to our growing prosperity by an oc- currence which no foresight could antici- pate and from quarter whence such blow was least to have been expected. The special message of the president upon the dispute as to the boundary be- tween Venezuela and British Guiana came as sudden and unwelcome sur prise to the commercial world, causing the apprehension of war to take the place of the calm spirit of confidence. The losses caused by the rude Arrangement of business and by the fall in merchandise and of securities are too painfully fresh to require discussion. The chamber should express its profound regret that the contingency of war between the two great English speaking nations should have been suggested ais a possible out come of the pending correspondence in controversy in which the American peo- pie have now and proba bly, can have no more than a sentimental and passing in- terest.
 The following resolution was attached to the report:
 Resolved. That the chamber of con- merce of the state of New York, being profoundly impressed with the gravity of the situation which threatens the peace now happily so long existing between Great Britain and the United States, ap- peals to the country to avert the calam- ity of war by resort to arbitration or other friendly negotiation, which has so often been found to be a sufficient and satisfactory mode of settling disputes and to which both governments stand committed by profession, precedent and the humanitarian spirit of the age. Carl SchurZ submitted a resolution that the president of the chamber appoint special committee of members, of whom the president shall be one to consider the expedlency of an effort to be made on it's part, in conjunction with similar organi- zations, in the interest of international peace and good understanding and to propose joint committee to be compos- ed of citizens of the United States and England, to be presided over by some man of eminent ability to be agreed upon by both sides, the commission to be con- sidered as an advisory council.
 Both resolutions were adopted with only a half dozen dissenting voices.

 We have less to fear from Cuba than formerly, and we see no reason to fear any fatal competition if it should be an- nexed to the United States. That there would be a great impetus and develop ment of the Cuban sugar industry under the American dominion will De admitted by all It is in a thoroughly bad condi- tion now under Spanish oppression and taxation The revolutionists also have been destroying the plantations, burning the sugar houses and setting fire to the cane. If the war, therefore, ends in Gu ban independence, it will see the Cuban planters in very much the same condition as those of Louisiana were after the civil war We believe that American methods and American capital would develop the country and assure much larger sugar crop than the island has ever before raised; but the Cuban planters would be- come the allies of the Louisiana planters rather than their enemies, having the same interests at stake, to secure friendly igislation from congress and to get good that is to say, fair price for their sugar. They are receiving very little for it now but we would at once see an ad- vance in the price of the Cuban product, which would prevent 1t ,undercutting or injuring Louisiana. It would cost more to raise sugar, because of the abolition of slavery and the higher wages paid under the American dominion. This difference in cost between free and slave labor and American and Spanish wages would more than offset the fact that the Cuban sugar would be admitted duty free. It would sell, with the freight added. for just what the Louisiana product does. It would not depreciate values, and it would not over stock the market. 1t would give us an ally in this country which we sorely need, for the Louisiana industry has been weak politically because it is confined to such a limited area and has so few friends out cfda of the state.

Cuba and Sugar.
cans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans TimeS-Democrat.
 Cuba, of course, produces great deal more sugar than Louisiana. It's crop in 1S93-94 was 5000OO tons, while Louisiana produced ,737 tons, the Cuban crop be- ing not quite three times as large as ours. Together the two countries produced about 1,150, 900 tons, whereas we imported 2,172,6S5 tons that year. This, with the Louisiana product, brought the total amount of sugar in this country up to F. 470, 322 tons. Our average consumption is about 2,300, 900 tons, or more than twice as much as Louisiana and Cuba produce to- gether.
 It is a mistake to imagine that we are altogether or chiefly dependent on Cuba for our sugar. There was a time when this was so but that time has long since passed. The imports of the last ten months, given in the table below, show that Cuba is no longer the largest ex- porter to the United States, and furnishes today only one-third of the sugar we use:

AN APPEAL FOR CLOTHING
This Time 1t Comes From the Territory Of
Oklahoma.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
A direct appeal has been made to the
ladies of the Unitarian Aid society, en-
Eorsed by reliable citizens, who are well
known, for assistance to four families in
Oklahoma, who are in extremely needy
circumstances. These families have suf-
flcient food, but are almost without
clothing, and suffering in consequence.
1t may be said that these people are be-
yond thd immediate neighborhood, whose
wants we feel most keenly, but they are
the living answer to that question: Who
is my neighbour" Will not a few kind
hearted friends look over their old gar
enents-especially their Undertaking.
and see if they cannot donate something
to the ladies of this society for this es-
pecial purpose. These ladies have reliev-
ed many cases of distress already in the
city, and by careful inquiry, have been
enabled to assist none but the worthy.
They have hesitated to go beyond what
hight be called their proper jurisdiction.
hut the urgency of these cases seems to-
justify this appeal. Any one having
garments to spare, who will bring or
send them to the sewing room of this
society, in the court house, next Thurs
day, between go and o'clock. or will
leave them with Mrs. DR.. Matthews, 835
North Market street, will perform
worthy deed. Any other donation for
cases Of need in the city will be thank
fully received. It is rapidly approaching
severe weather, and, while the receiving
of charity should never be encouraged.
and is but a poor remedy for diseased
social conditions, there are cases where
humane feelings must pronounce it the
highest wisdom. w. G. TODD.
