Rioting Scares the lee OF the
Government.


Trouble of a serious nature is being
iomented in Spain, particularly in the
province OF Valencia.
That the large Spanish army in Cuba
must be still further and heavily re-en-
forced is looked upon as a confession OF
weakness and an admission of the grow
ing strength of the Cubans. In addition
many letters have been received by the
relatives of the Spanish soldiers in Cuba
that tell such a terrible tale Of sickness,
privation, incom potency, mismana@e-
ment anG lack of pay that a dangerous
feeling against the Government has arisen
among the Republicans, as we'll AS tie
Cuban sympathizers, the latter taking adj
vantage of the situation TO push their
propaganda, and the combined move
ments are making more Roadway with
the masses thar the Government will adj
nit.
Madrid up to the present has been
quiet, but signs are not wanting that a
spirit of discomfort is around, and the
efforts OF the Government TO gain support
by trying 20 throw the blame for every
thing upon the United States is the chief
bugaboo OF the Spanish politicians, n
Will not much longer avail.

r.. G.. Dim e Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade says: The sensational collapse Of
spectators at Chicago who controlled
Diamond Match aud New York Biscuit
stocks, and had hoisted them to fame y
prices, with the consequent closing OF the
Chicago stock exchange for a period yet
indefinite, though followed by remark
ably few failures, brings a sudden change
in monetary conditions throughout The
country. The collapse also increased the
caution of bankers and other lenders re-
garding loans on securities of a similar
character.
1t is important that the increase of mer-
chandise exports, $500, 900 or II per cent.
over last year for the week, and the de-
crease Of imports, 500, 900, or ~ per cent.
still continues to limit the sum payable
abroad. In i've weeks the increase of eX-
ports has been $4,000 or l6 per cent,
and the decrease of imports 5000, 600, or
Is per cent, which helps to balance ac-
counts. The movement of wheat is again
large. Atlantic exports being l.Ttl ,033
bushels for The week, lour included,

crop reports are as numerous and noisy

winter wheat to 300, 00J, Goa bushels, and
the movement tends 10 sustain such esti-
mates, Tor since July ! western receipts
have been II, 633, So bushels, against g.

that with prices 10 cents lower than a

A curious story ome from Berlin.
A lieutenant of a uhlan regiment made
a bet about six months ago that he
would train a young OK within six
months so that it would obey the word
of command like a cavalry horse. The
trial took place a few days ago on the
drill ground of the uhlan barracks in
the Invalidenstrasse. 1t seemed at
first as though the officer would win his
bet. The OK trotted, galloped right
galloped left, and did everything per-
fectly till it came to the vaulting. In
this the animal failed, and the Officer
lost his bet. He vas congratulated
however, on his perseverance and sue
cess in training SO unpromising ar
animal.
