THE IRON OUTPUT.
The Production for 1895 Was 9,446,308 Tons, Eclipsing All Previous Amer-
 can Records.

Philadelphia, Jan. 20.-The bulletin of the American Iron and Steel association issued today says:
 The American Iron and Steel associa- ton has received from the manufactur- CTS complete returns of the production of pig iron in the United States in 1895 and also complete returns of the stocks of unsold pig iron in the hands of makers or their agents at the close of the year.
 The total production of pig iron in 1895 was the largest in our iron making his tory, amounting to 9,446,308 gross tons, against 6,657,3 1888 tons in 1884, 7,124,502 tons in 1893, 9,157, 900 tons in 1892, 8,279,- S7O tons in 1891 and 9,202, 703 tons in 1890. The production in 1895 was 2.78S,920 tons, or nearly 42 per cent, more than in 1884, and 223,605 tons more than in 1890, when our largest previous production was at- tained.
 All the large pig iron producing states shared in the greatly increased produc- tion in 1895 over 1894. As might be ex- pected, the most notable increase was in Pennsylvania, which produced 4,701 ,163 tons, or 49.7 per cent of the total produc- tion, Allegheny county alone producing 2,045,O85 tons, which was 590,7 tons more than the production of Ohio, more than double that of Illinois and nearly two and a half times that of Alabama; and yet Ohio, Illinois, Ohio and Alabama made splendid records in 1895 as compared with 1894. Allegheny county made 437 per cent of the total production of Penn sylvania in 1895. The Shenango and Ma honing valleys also made remarkably large gains in production in 1895 over 1894. Five states made less pig iron in 1895 than in 1894-Connecticut New Jer- sey, Georgia, Michigan and Colorado
 The production of Bessemer pig iron in 1895 was 5,623,645 tons, against 3,808,567 tons in 1894, an increase of 1,81512S tons. The great increase in the total production of pig iron in 1895 over 1894 was largely caused by the extraordinary demand for Bessemer pig iron, which demand was in turn chiefly caused by the extraordinary demand for structural steel.
 The stocks of pig iron which were un- sold in the hands of manufacturers or their agents on December 31, 1893, and which were not intended for their con- sumption, amounted to 662.06S gross tons, and on December 31, 1895, they amounted to 444, ,332 tons.

Washington, Jan. 20-Major- General Miles commanding the United States army, states that he has heard nothing of the extraordinary rumor telegraphed from Florida that the state militia had been ordered out at the request of the president of the United States as a pre- 1minary to probable recognition of the Cuban insurgents If any such order had been issued it would of necessity have passed through General Miles hands. Secretary Lamont had not reached the war department up to noon today, and therefore no authentic de- nial could be obtained from him, but all the other leading officials of the war de- partment united in discrediting the sen- sational rumors sent out. Secretary Lamont later in the day declined to dig nifty what he termed the absurd. imposs- ble story of calling out the Florida mili- tia by the secretary of war.

A Nashville House Fails.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 20.-The Rosen- helm company, one of the largest dry goods houses in the south, made gener- al assignment late this afternoon for the benefit of creditors.

 They claim that the assets will far ex- ceed the liabilities, and that they will pay dollar for dollar. Practically all the creditors are in the east J. c. Bradford is named as assignee.

It Will Benefit the Cubans.

New York, Jan. 20-Passengers arriv- ing per the Ward line steamer Vigilancia from Havana today were intensely in- terested when told that Campos had been recalled and succeeded in the command of the Spanish army In Cuba. Some of them were confident that the movement was a good one for the insurgents, be- cause Campos, by his humane and con- siderate acts, had won for himself the genuine regard of many natives who, on this account, had been loath to join the ranks of the insurgents. although in- clined in favor of their cause. Now, how- ever, that Campos was to be superseded, no doubt many of these Cubans would declare themselves on the right of the freedom of Cuba,

They Believe It Ia True.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 20.--In spite of the semi-denials from Washington, the story that the governor of Florida, in connection with the governors of other states, has been requested by the United States war department to see that the militia is in readiness for service Is gen. erally credited in this state. Judge M. A. Dzialinski, who presides over the city court of Jacksonville, and who Is one of the most reputable men in Florida, started the story here, and he insists that his information was derived from an attache of Adjutant-General Houston's office. In Tallahassee the story was widely current Saturday and yesterday, so much so that on Sunday morning one of the ministers alluded to 1t in his open- ing prayer, and implored God to avert the horrors of war.
 Dispatches from several points in the state indicate that the report was not confined to Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Efforts today to obtain official eonfirma- tion or denial of the story have failed, the men who could shed light on 1t de- cltning to be interviewed. That orders of some kind have been issued to the state troops is certain, though of course the officers refuse to disclose their char acter Throughout the state 1t is gener- ally believed these orders relate to keep ing the troops in readiness, and that they have been inspired by the Washington authorities in view of the threatening nature of our foreign relations. The de- nials and professions of Ignorance by the Washington authorities and the state officials carry little weight here, as the people generally expected these gentle men to poo-pooh the story for diplo- matic reasons.
 Whether the story be true or not, its sponsors certainly believe 1t has good foundation and 1t Is fact that 1t has gained wide currency throughout the state and Is generally believed. A sig nif1cant fact Is that the story seems to have become known in every town where there Is a militia company at about the same time.
 The excitement 1t has caused is Florida Is very great, and the war fever Is higher today than ever.
