INVESTIGATION PROMISED
The Consul General tor tho q. s..
Has Taken tho Matter
In Hand.

HAvANA.-tSpecial.l-Dr. Jose Man
uel Delgado, the American Citizen who
was reported shot and nearly killed by
Spanish troops under command Of
Gen. Melquiz arrived here. He IL 60
seriously injured he had to be carried
on . stretcher.
The captain general promises the
promptest inquiry into the circum-
stances In the case and has given as
suranc that the guilty person will be
severely punished.
Delgado says Q humber Of employees
Of the Dclgado plantation ear Baino
have been killed by troops, including
the brothers Yipia and the two Gusr-
ras, father and son.
Circumstances in the case 80 far as
they be gathered at present seem
to point to q most gross and deliberate
outrage on the part Of the Spanish
sOldiery who were made aware that
Delgado and his aged father were both
American citizens. But this fact ap-
pears to have had no weight With the
Spanish officers and Delgado It Is said
had been bound and shot without
trial and without justification. The
doctor was left for dead and eight Of
his fathers employees killed. United
States Consul General Williams has
taken the matter In hand and nO'stOne
will be left unturned to bring the
guilty Spaniards to justice.

SAN FRANc1sco.-[Special ~ Col. M.
r. Jeffards, an American railway
engineer, who has an agreement with
the concessionaries by which he is to
have the contract for building the
Picking and Hankow railroad, provided
he subscriptions in this coun-
try or in Europe to the amount of
100000 taels (about S3,5W,OOO in
Mexican money! is in the city. There
are in China at present but two short
railways, one of $50 miles and the
other Of sixty-two miles. In January
Hsu YIN Tsiang, mayor of Kuang
Tang. q given BY Prince Kung,
superintendent of military affairs, per-
mission under the authority of the
emperor to construct q railroad from
Peking to Hankow, q distance of $50
miles. The right Is also granted to
build from Picking south to Canton, q
distance Of 600 miles upon completion
of the Hankow road.
One of the conditions is that not
less than two-thirds Of the capital
necessary, which will amount to
about 30,O00,D0O tasls, must be sub
scribed by Chinese.
Col. Jeffards, who was in China ct
the time, secured the agreement from
Hsu YIN, and when he carries out the
terms will give him the contract for
building the road. He came to Cali
fornla to induce the Chinese mer-
chants In San Francisco to subscribe
and to use their influence to dispel
the prejudices Of their countrymen
against railroads and show them their
value.

Tari6 and Silver.

WASHINGTON. - Especial. The fact
developed that some manufacturers
who came to Washington recently to
confer with republican silver senators
had hoped to secure reconsideration
on the part of the senator's who voted
against taking up the Dingley tariff
bill, and of getting an agreement to
allow the tariff to be considered in
dependent of the silver question. They
however met with no encouragement
of the proposition, and left Washing
ton convinced the measure is dead
beyond resurrection.

BAD BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Both Dun and Bradstroet Re.
port Business Slow-Many
Failures.

sNEw YoRK-[Special.]-R. g. DUN
says the movement toward better
things is still the exception. There
has been better business In shoes and
small industries and there has been
squeezing Of short sellers in cotton.
But the general tendency OF indus
tries and prices is not encouraging.
Wooden mills, with prices already
below last years lowest average, and
wool So per cent highed than It vas
then, are not getting business enough
to keep their works in operation.
Clothiers have taken many foreign
goods and they have failed to market
all they produced last fall, and they
have to carry q host OF retailers whose
stocks are not yet sold.
The sharp decline In prices OF cotton
goods is the comment OF the mills on
raising cotton. Goods now average
lower than since May. 1896, having do
clined 40 per cent. for the week. Print
cloths have gone 21<c, which 10 only
one-sixteenth above the lOwert price
On record. The accumulation OF goods
in the face Of the slack and rapidly d.
minishing demand has brought about
the closing Of one Of the largest mills
and others = considering suspension.
The iron industry shows but = slight
average decline In the prices Of last
year, and the demand ID naturally Cur
tailed. Quotations are deceptive be-
cause lower prices rsconstantly made
to secure business. But with ore and
coke combinations demanding high
figures hesitation Is inevitable. Minor
metals have changed but little.
Wheat has been weak while tho move
ment Of corn continues very large and
prices have declined 10 for cash.
Failures in the United States for the
weak were 26l, - against 278 last
week.

Memorial.
ENDS VENEZUELAN MATTER.

Orably On the Final
settlement.

LoNDoN.ISpecail. l-Lord Salisbury
has sent q reply to the memorial in IA.
vor of Anglo American arbitration Of
the Venezuelan question adopted by
the Peace society Al q meeting 10
Queens hall. The reply was addressed
to 1T. Hon. James Stansfeld, ex-mem-
Der Of parliment, who presided at the
meeting. Lord Salisbury says:
II am glad to be able to inform you
that this question is receiving the con-
sideration of the government and that
proposals in the direction indicated by
the memorial are now before the gov
eminent Of the United States"
The Daily News, liberal, has an edi-
torial on Lord Salisbury's reply, in
which it says:
"Lord Salisbury's letter is the most
hopeful word we have had for q long
time from the premier. We hope that
it portends a definite clearing of the
international situation in one OF the
stormiest quarters. We may even
dream that it will pressage a new and
brighter DE in the worlds history.
1t is not perfectly clear whether the
question has been advanced or whether
the government has merely confirmed
and adopted Lord Rosebery's policy,
II Lord Salisbury is able to convert
his words into deeds he will 60 far to
make his present term of office illus.
trious and beneflcent."
The Chronicle, also liberal, echoes
the Daily New and hopes the United
States will reciprocate our good will.
IF So" the Chronicle adds, "there is
no need to trouble ourselves further
about Venezuela"

There is said to be q large number
Of men camped on one-of the Florida

A NOTE OF WARNING.
The Senate Says "Free Silver''
or mo Protective Leg
islatiOn.

WASHINGTON. Especial IA confer
ence was held in this city between the
republican silver senators who voted
against consideration of the house
tariff bill in the senate and q
number Of members, principally OF
Pennsylvania, for the purpose of, IL
possible, arriving at an understanding
on which the silver advocates and
protectionists can unite. The meet
ing was brought aOout largely through
the efforts of William Wilhelm Of
Pottsville, Pa, and II. E. Defenderfer,
the latter q Philadelphia manufac:
turer and secretary Of the national
bimetallic committee. The confer.
ence wac preliminary to others which
will probably be held, and while it re.
suited In no joint declaration those
present expressed themselves as sat
isf1ed the result would be to promote
both interests and that an important
step had been taken in bringing them
nearer together.
In brief speeches the senator's pres.
emit defined their position in such !
manner as to make 1t plain to manu-,
f~acturers that there could be no pro.
ductive tariff legislation, either at THU
session or the next, without rehabili
tation Of silver, and that bimeelllsm
and protection, IS regarded from thei,
standpoint, constituted an individual
issue before the country. Some Of the
manufacturers themselves Endorsed
