CUBAN TOBACCO SHORT.
WEYLER's PROCLAMATION KNOCK

1t Will Shut Down Cigar Manufactures

CHICAGO, May 20.-The Times
Herald says: "With few excep-
tions every mandatory in Chi
cago engaged in making Havana
cigars will be shut down within
ninety days, as result Of General
Weyler's order forbiding the expor-
tation Of leaf tobacco from Cuba.
This is the opinion expressed by
some Of the largest tobacco i'm
porters in the city, who are thor
oughly posted on the market. A
result Of the Spanish generals
proclamation will be the enforced
idleness OF thousands Of cigarmak-
ers until the embargo is removed.
"What the result will be here
may also apply elsewhere in the

vana tobacco in the United States
can not last longer than three
months. There is plenty Of filler

Some Hidden Purpose in View.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 90
The state department has received
a report of United States Consul
General Laarel, at st. Petersburg,
in relation to the amount of Amer
lean gold held by the Russian gov
eminent. The consul general says
he has seen no less than $50, 769,ll0
in United States gold coin in the
Golfers of the Russian government.
That was on the first day of last
January, when the consul general
was invited with consuls of other
countries at st. Petersburg to
witness the transfer OF large sum
of gold from the Russian treasury
to the exchange fund of the govern
ment bank, where it was needed
for the redemption of paper rou-
bles. No other nation save Rus
STA itself came anywhere near the
store contributed by the United
States to the Russian Golfers.
When the consul asked how that
amount of United States gold came
into possession OF the Russia n
bank the governor informed him
that the Russian minister Of
finance had purchased it at differ
emit times in Berlin, Paris and Lon
don.

Kiss and Make Up In Armenia.

NEW YORK, May 20.-A special
to the Herald from London says {:
1t Is learned on the highest au-
thority that the Armenian ques-
tion is about to enter q new phase.
At this moment a movement is on
foot here, in Paris and in Brus-
sells, in favor OF a reconciliation Of
the Armenians with Turkey.
There is every reason to believe
that this movement has been
started with the consent and even
at the desire of the sultan. His
maj esty has been WILDLY affected
by the state of affairs In Anatolia
created by the massacres Of the
past year. 1t is necessary, how
ever, that the well intentioned
section Of Armenians should come
forward honestly and endeavor to
forget the past and boldly make
an appeal to the personal senti-
ments of the sultan; in other
words, grasp the hand which is al
ready as good as rendered. This
turn OF affairs would be received
with a great sense OF relief among
English politicians Of both parties.

JAPANESE TRADE.
LOCOMOTIVES OF AMERICAN MANU-

The Contract for the Construction of Four
Big Battle Ships Will Likely be
Given to q. s. Firms.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Per-
haps inspired by the frequent re-
ferences in congress and the news
papers to the probability OF jap
anese competing in the future with
our own manufacturers, the statis-
tical bureau OF the state depart
ment some time ago called upon
United States Minister Dunn, at
Toxic, to report upon "the pros
poets OF competition by American
manufacturer for contracts in the
Japanese empire"
The minister in the course OF his
response which will appear in the
next number of the consular re-
ports says, that while there has until
recently been a large difference in
favor OF the British in cost of pro-
duction this is rapidly disappear.
ing and there are now fair pros
poets Of some articles of American
manufacture superceding the Eng
lish and other European makes.
This fact is owing more to superior
fineness and excellence rather
than in the price Of American
goods. American locomotives are
coming into favor in spite Of OBJ
stacles arising from the fact that
British machines have been used
and the shops are unsuited for the
repair Of American engines. Mr..
Dunn gives some. advice to the

necessity OF their studying the
wants of the Japanese, as done by
the British, instead of trying to
educate them to use our standards,
and he adds that after all the
greatest competitors not only the
American but the European has in
Japan is the growth Of the home
industries. With unlimited cheap
skilled labor, an abundance of coal
and magnificent water power, the
indications are that in the near fu-
ture the manufacturing industries
in Japan will increase. When the
new treaty comes into operation
there will, however, be moth
ing to hinder American enter
prise from taking advantages OF
these great opportunities by start.

Japan government, the minister
continues, is about to contract for
the construction OF four big battle
ships abroad and some Of these
will 60 to the United States IL the
diet approves. The Japanese gov
eminent is we'll disposed to pat
ronize American shipbuilders and
they feel that it would be wise to
place some contracts with Japan's
best customer and friend. AS most
Of the Japanese naval officers and
constructors have been educated in
England, they naturally strongly
prefer British ships to any others,
but the government believes that
the placing of orders in the United
States would be gratifying to the
American people and they are anx-
ious Of testifying in some tangible
manner their appreciation OF the
friendship of the Americans to-
ward the Japanese. The minister
speaks Of the recent visit Of spe-
cial Japanese agents to Cramps
and the Union iron works and
says they left the country we'll en-
couraged.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The Chi
nese government has awakened to
the fact that their recent defeat by
their smaller but more highly edu-
Gated neighbor, Japan, was due
entirely to the incubation in the
latter navy of western methods.
In view of possible future compli-
cations, the Chinese have decided
to recognize the superiority Of
foreign training. AS result twen-
ty Chinese boys ranging in age
from 10 to II years will make their
appearance in this country. I'm
like their predecessors, these new
visitors come as children, to become
skilled in mechanical arts. The
youngsters will come over in care
of Rev. Hui Kin, superintendent Of
the Presbyterian Chinese Church
mission, who is graduate of an
American college and the third
Chinaman to be ordained in this
country.
Rev. Kin left for Japan in jan
uary aud, according to the re-
ports sent in by him, preached the
gospel with great success in Toxic.
Then he went to China. He found
that government busy with the
problem of the advanced education
of its young men. Three thousand
of its young men were being sent
at government expense to Ger
many and others to France. Mr..
Kin saw what the Chinese officials
had not seen-that to properly
educate the Orientals in western
methods he must be brought here
while very young. Finally as an
experimental was decided to per-
NIT the minister to bring back
with him to America twenty boys.
He selected the sons of farmers as
being better fitted physically to
enter into mechanical training.
The expenses of the pupils are paid
by the fathers. The party left
China some time ago and will. ar.
rive in San FRANCISCO next week,
reaching this city early in June.
The boys will be Immediately
taken to some nearby country
place where they will remain dur
ing the summer under the watch
full eye Of Rev. Kin. During the
summer they will be taught the
rudiments of the English language
and on their return to the city in
the fall will take up their mechan-
ical studies. Mr.. Kin's plans are
not yet known to the people in
charge of the mission, but it is un-
derstood the lads are to remain
here for some years and return to
China with a liberal mechanical
and scientific education. China, 1t
is believed, will also apply soon to
this government for the privilege
to send one or more of its youths
to West Point and Annapolis.
Other nations have enjoyed that
privilege for many years, but Chi
ma had not been awakened to the
advantages to be derived from
that course until the recent disas-
trous struggle. The youngsters
who are on their way will remain
here under bonds to return to their
native country, and every precau-
tion will be taken against the vio-
lation OF our anti-Chinese laws.

Cholera in Calves.

There seems to be some complaint
from this cause lately, and we give a
remedy as given by correspondent in
Hoard's Dairyman: Equal parts tine
ture of cayenne, tincture of opium,
tincture of rhubarb, essence of pepper
mint and spirits of camphor. Mix well.
Dose, one teaspoonful in wine glass
of milk three times day. We have
never tried it, but as it comes from
very good authority we would have no
hesitation in doing so in case we had a
calf with the cholera. In looking over
some old papers, not long since, we
came across the following recipe, which
was labeled sure cure for cholera,
and all summer complaints in people
Rhubarb, pulverized, two scruples;
saleratus, two scruples; essence of pep
permint, two scruples; boiling water,
one-half pint. Dose, one or two table,
spoonfuls from fifteen minutes to two
hours, according to the case to be
treated. From the similarity of the two
remedies we judge that there may be
some virtue in the ingredients pre-
scribed, and we should recommend that
copy be kept for future need.-Na-
tional Stockman.
