Tho Cuban Patriots Now Have Two Very
Effective Field Pieces.
Two new dynamite guns, the first OF
their kind, are being used by Gen.
Maceo in western Cuba to tease Gen.
Weyler, and with startling effect. The
accompanying picture shows the new
Held piece, which is an American, the
Simms-Dudley dynamite rifle. 1t uses
smokeless powder, and the projectie
force is compressed air, consequently
Its operation is invisible and inaudible
Mt long distance. At night it shows no
light at the discharge. At Pinar del
Rio the shells from one of these guns
tore open the Spanish breastworlSs and
then exploded, scattering the dead and
dying in all directions. Sometimes
the shells bury themselves in the ground
before exploding. They have fuses and
lie quiet awhile, then send everybody
In the neighborhood to Kingdom

does not weigh much over ton, and is
transported so quickly that the enemy
cannot find it.
Recent reports indicate that Weyler
is unable to keep Gen. Gomez penned up

at the west end of the island, and that
the latter has pushed eastward even
to the Province of Havana, which the in
surgent forces have lately reached from
the other direction. If this be true, the
rebels have come pretty near getting
the Spanish forces shut up in Havana.
Weyler's commanders in Cuba have
been shooting down rebel prisoners in
lots of 20 and 40, while Maceo's men re
turn Spanish prisoners unhurt. The
Spanish soldiers shot beautiful young
girl and two older women, not long
pgo, but not until one of the women
while hidden in the bush had killed II OF
their men with her rifle.

The Price of silver.

Bradstreets' takes the position that
the only apparent cause for the firm
ness of silver quotations, is the en-
larged production of gold This means
that gold is getting cheaper. If that be
true what becomes Of the "fxed value
of gold which is the only argument ever
made in favor of the gold standard.
If the production of gold should con-
tinue to increase and that Of silver re-
main stationary, or increase, there is no
doubt that measured in gold the value
of silver will rise. But an increased de-
mand for silver would have the same
effect. The reopening of the American
Mint to the white metal would certain
ly increase the demand for it, and just
as certainly raise its value. At the
same time it would reduce the demand
for gold and lessen its value Thus sill
yer would rise and gold fall. Hence it
is reasonable to believe that they would
come together at the rate of is TO l.

Honor 70 a orea4 New.paper.

All honor to Joseph Pulitzer, and his
matchless newspaper, the New York
World. 1t was his genius and the in,
strumentality Of his paper under the
heroic cry of Publicity, Publicity, Pub
1icity, which brought the President and
his Secretary of the Treasury to halt.
The people Of the land, through his eff
forts, tireless and unceasing, were given
the chance to display their patriotism
as principle and the full measure of
faith in a nation governed by the pop
ular will. All honor to such an agency
which sienced forever fear that a ma
TONS credit is not as fully as safe re-
posed in its people as in the hrnds of
a speculative and designing coterie of
bankers
When the Government was about to
float this latest loan, sinister influences
were at work to turn it over to a
charmed circle. The New York World
began its yeoman work and a fearless
crusade against fovoritismin the award
In one day it made it plain that people
were to be trusted. Through the efforts
of its untiring proprietor, responses
came to his thousands of kilograms
covering every section of this broad
land that the people were ready if Civ
en- chance. His own bid for one mil
lion dollars Of the bonds, made good.
too, at q top-notch price, was not
small share Of the inspiration.
The result of the warfare made for
the people against spectators and
mone-changers disclosed Wednesday.
A loan, which the President expected
to fail, is more than five times sub
scribed. The very syndicate which
bagged previous loan at a trihe over
104, on Wednesday offered to take an
amount equal to one hundred millions
at fraction over 10. These figures
carry their own lesson. The bonds Of
this issue are identical with the install
ment given to the syndicate. The head
of the syndicate, when put in competi-
ton; when put under the light of Pub
Lefty, Publicity, Publicity; when shown
no special fayors, is compelled TO raise
his price more than six points.
1t does not require any deep logic to
cause and effect. 1t requires
only ordinary mathematics to now fix
the enormous profit of Mr.. Cleveland's
dealing in the dark under a
secret contract.
