has been repeatedly called, exports from
New York for two weeks having been
20 per ceot. larger and imports here 2l
per eeat. smaller shau last year. The
rapid movement of grain. and the un-
usually early marketing of cotton, tends
strongly to aid the bank syndicate which
has undertaken to regulate foreign ex-
changes. Withdrawals Of money to the
interior are rather large. and CONNER
cial loans are hard to place, aud this
difficulty checks macy new enterprises
and business in macy departments
Bank clearings are small. for the week

Americans Will Not be Shot and
Imprisoned-He is CleveIaud's Mil
itary Commissioners.
The appointment of General Fitz-
hugh Lee as consul general to Cuba
has met with almost universal endorse
ment, and he Is regarded on all sides
who will give President Cleveland q
true insight to the actual state of
affairs in Cuba. The intelligent COR
respondent of the Southern Associated
Press, who is located in Havana, sends
the following statement in connection
with Lees appointment
The appointment of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee to succeed Consul General Will
liams is understood by Americans here,
as we'll as by the authorities at the
palace, as an adroit way of sending q
military commissioner from the States
to Cuba. When there was au intima-
tion a fortnight ago that Mr.. Cleve-
land contemplated sending o commits
sion here to learn officially what was
going on, the officials at Madrid said
very plainly that no military or other
commission would be accepted by
them, or permitted to pry into affairs
in Cuba. There is, therefore, some
curiosity as to how General Lee will
be received and as to what facilities
will be accorded him for learning what
is transporting outside of the city OF
Babana.
The Spanish officials with whom I
have talked will not discuss any other
mission he may be- supposed to have.
They have got along SO smoothly with
Ramon .. Williams, who has devoted
himself assiduously to viewing bills of
lading and allowed Americans in Jail
to rot there and others to be shot
down and their property destroyed,
that there may be trouble when a live
American comes here to represent
Uncle Sam.
1t goes without saying that the
American residents will welcom. Gen,
eral Lee with open arms. He will moi
be long in discovering that a state oi
war exists in Cuba, that it is an army
and not a mob of bandits who are
winning battles against the troops OF
side and prisoners set free, while or
the other a war of DETERMINATION
against all Cubans is waged, prisoner,
Of war shot, unarmed peasants shot
and cut to pieces and political suspects
imprisoned by thousands. He will
learn that Spain is ~powerless to pro
tect American property throughout
the island, that millions OF dollars
worth of property belonging to oul
citizens has been destroyed, and the
prospect Of recompense is as shadowy
as castles in Spain. He will hear O.
Americans who have been shot dowr
by Spanish troops, and will find other;
imprisoned in dungeons with no pros,
poet of trial or release. He will Learn
in short what the newspaper readers
of the United States have known fol

officially ignorant. His eyes will bt

The Associated Press dispatch from
Washington announced the arrest Of
Diaz as follows THE State depart
ment has received % brief cable mes
sage from Consul General Williams at
Havana announcing the arrest OF Pro-
testant Bishop Alberto Jesus Diaz,
who Is well known throughout the
South and to many church people In all
paris OF the United States. Diaz is a
n~aturalized American and of strong
insist that his work in Cuba has been
confined to PROSECUTING for the church,
and they deny participation in the re-
belliOn On his part. The message from
Consul General Williams contained no
details.
1.-The case will be closely followed
up by the representatives OF the United
States who will take the customary
steps to protect the interests of an
American citizen. The consul general
will insist on a civil trial should the
matter go to the length Of a trial. 1t
may be that his release can be- OBJ
tanned without the necessity OF u trial,
but on this point nothing can be said
in advance of an investigation which
Mr.. Williams will make into the cir
cumstances leading up to the CASE"
A special to The New York World
from Havana,'Cuba gives the following
additional details about the arrest OF
Rev. Mr., Diaz:
ALBERT j. Diaz. o missionary Of the
Southern Baptist church Of the United
States, has been arrested and taken
to tho Spanish headquarters. His
residence was thoroughly searched,
Consul General Williams promptly
made inquiries.
"Diaz Is a native creole. He has

he (Diaz) was supervising bishop of th'

controversy with the Roman Catholi,
