been any remarkable increase In bush

pcted improvement has hardly been re-
allied, while throughout the west the
improvement Is irregular Some pro-
ducts are going ahead and others aro
still quite slow. Pig iron sales Eener-
ally are increasing, although the Chicn-
80 market this week Is less active than
II wns three weeks since. Even In that
market. however, orders taken for de-
livery during the entire year are about
81 % above present current rates.
At Wheeling, Cincinnati and Clevc-
land. the consumption Of pig iron Is
increasing. and IN the New York mar
ltct prices OF pig Iron are increasing. In
many cases deferred shipments are be-
Ing called FOR. At some points manu-
facturcd iron Is In better demand, and

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Manuel N.
Coronado. the editor Of the Cuban Pa
triot Newspaper La Discussion. pub
llshed in Havana, who escaped from
that city In the last days OF October,
after General Weyler had ordered his
arrest, reached New York this morn
Ing and went 10 the home OF his broth
er. Francisco Coronado. He brought
with him important news for the juDta
in this city, and early In the afternoon
visited the headquarters.
In reply to question as to the gen.
craI feeling OF people living in Cuba,he
said. through an interpreter:
To-day we might say that Spain
holds Cuba by sheer force OF arms. This
whole country, Spanish and Cuban
alike. desire peace even ut almost any
sacrifice, and although II may seem
strange, the Spanish element Is quite as
pronounced in this feeling as the Cuban
and wish peace and independence OF
Cuba,
1T is thought that Cuba under Span
ish rule would be unable to pay the
enormous debt, already incurred, or to
stand the tremendous taxation which
would invariably be imposed by Spain
upon Cuba, and another uprising would
under those conditions follow. Spa!p
would have to expend great sums OF
money 10 keep Cuba in submission. Tho
war debts now Is estimated at $500. .000.-
900 and Is accommodating at the rate OF
sl2.00o.0o0 4 month.
If Cuba gained her independence in
this struggle, and hope and maintain
that she will, she will start afrcsh with
wonderful possibilities before her..
Spain Will soon be forced by lack OF
funds to withdraw her troops.
THE Spaniards express this opinion
in private only, as public expression Of
1t would Insure their execution al re-
bells. Weyler does as he pleaseS. His
latest edct Is that all persons, men.
women and children, who are found
outside OF the Spanish lines shall be
considered rebels and shot as such.
This edict was published only IN the
official gazette In Havana which cir
culates among Spanish officers and
officials only. Tkare was no way In
which those outside OF these circles
could learn OF the edict. There Is no
railroad to Pinlr del Rio from Havana
and II Is IN this province that the cdict
has cost the greatest loss OF life. Peo-
PIE taken under this cdict are march,
cd outside 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 devils"
