The oubans Worried.

New YJRK, Jan. 3f.-According TO
the evening edition of World there WAS
conster nation In the Cuban camp to-day
when the leaders saw that ali of de-
tsils'of the secret junta meeting, held
at the Astor House last night, was made
public In the papers to-day, and this
Consideration grew when 1t WAS learned
that report WAS current that the Span
tsh authorities had secured positive evil
dence OF all that transpired an6 of writ
Ing that was said at the meeting in the
shape OF stenographic report, which
they propose to lay before the United
States authorities for the purpose of
proceeding ageinat the junta criminally.
1t Is alleged that. the evidence was Sc
cured by means OF telephone trans
mitter surropitiously placed in the room
in which the meeting was held.

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION

Held Regular Weekly Meeting Yester.
day-Important Matters Considered.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3l.-The Venezu.
elan commission held It's regular
weekly meeting to-day with all Of the
members present. A great portion of
the session was taken up In the con.
siderstion Of matters touching the
merits OF the controversy including a
large number Of maps and quantity of
matter sent from the State Departments
in answer to request, collected by per-
sons specially charged with the task.
Up TO this time the commission has
not received notice from either the
British or the Venezuelan government
OF an intention to svail itself of the in
vitation extended to appear before the
commission through representatives.
Nothing has been determined yet ss to
sending an agent to Europe to collect
evidence there for. the consideration of
the commission. It is said that this
work could not be intelligently UNDER
taken until the mass OF matter already
before the commission has been thor.
oughly digested and knowledge &C :
CURED OF just what gaps rema!n to be
filled from the European archives.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
General Trade 10 Rather Disappoiuffu
In the West and Northwest.

General Trade IL Rather Disappointing
In the West and Northwest.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-Bradstreet's To.
morrow will say: The features of the
week are continued retarded demand for
merchandise and checked industrial
operations. Least satisfac tory ia the
waiting attitude OF some of the more
Important industries. Shoe fac tories at
Philadelphia are shutting down or run
ming on part time; cotton goods makers
regard the outlook for their product un-
promising; there is reaction in the
price OF steel billets; among fifty pig
iron furnaces In tho Pittsburgh and
Shenango districts fourteen are idle.
and the position of WOODEN goods manu-
facturers Is shown by the fact that for
eign WOODEN goods are relatively most
active. 80
General trade at the close of Janusrv
proves disappointing, particularly in
Central Western, Western and North.
western States. where the movement OF
merchandise from iobbers has been
slow and unsatisfactory, it being only
fair at q few points.
Exports of wheat flour included) from
both coasts OF the United STATES this
week show marked falling off, amounts
ing to only 2.550,O bushels compared
with 3,s49.0oO bushels last week. Ex-
ports OF Indian corn hold up we'll,
amounting to 8,107, 600 bushels.
