MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York. June I.-Lquidations were
the order Of the day at the Stock Ex-
change and the lowest figures Of the
week were made In q number OF instances.
At the opening the market was inclined to
frmness because of higher cables from
London, but the improvement was uniin-
portant. The frmness was short-nved,
and before the expiration Of the first half
hour Of business the entire list was on the
down grade. The lack Of demand from
outside sources was again quite pro-
nounced and the dealers for foreign ac-
count insignificant.
This left the market practically In the
hands Of the traders and as this class Is
bearing for the moment. prices yielded

day. All the prominent issues participate

commented upon by the bear traders. The

ONE THOUSAND A DAY
Weyler's Loss 1000 Killed
in Two Days.
OVER THREE THOUSAND WOUNDED
Premier Canovas Grows Angry WheE
the United States Is spoken of
as a Mediator.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The Tribune's spe-
cial from Jacksonville, Fla, says:
Colonel Jose Reyes, aid.de-camp OF
General Maceo, wounded and en- route
to New York for medical treatment, and
with dispatches to. the junta, passed
through here yesterday. He says the
fighting in the Rubbi hills of Pinar del
Rio was the most sanguinary battle of
the war. He claims 1000 of Weyler's
men killed in two days, and twice as
many wounded.
Weyler went to the field with 81, 200
men in three columns, one of $4,000 un-
der himself; one of 15 900 under General
Echague, and third of 5000 under Gen
eral Munoz. They found Maceo en-
trenched in a creecent-shaped range of
hills. When at the foot of the hills the
Spaniards met a withering fire that
cut gaps in their ranks. Maceo's men
shot from behind rocks and trees, and
gradually gave way before the Spaniards,
who, encouraged by what they thought
to be victory, pursued them.
Suddenly deafening explosion rent

like the mine horror at Petersburg dur
ing the civil war. Horses and mel
were blown high in the air and fell to
the earth dead and mangled. The dy-
Mantle mine was touched off by John
Linn, formerly of this city, who IS Ma
ceo's electrician. Maceo then loosened
his dynamite guns, prepared by Linn,
and more havoc WAS wrought.
In the mine explosion, Colonel Reyes
says, Weyler lost 700 men killed, and
500 more in charging, besides 1900
wounded.
Next day, Maceo, knowing of the re-
serve force under Weyler, retreated to
even a stronger position. Then he was
attacked by the column under Echague,
who was roundly thrashed and driven
from the field, losing 800 men killed, be-
sides 1900 wounded.
Next day Maceo retreated again
maneuvering all the while to entrap
Weyler into field that had been honey
combed with dynamite. Meanwhile
however, General Weyler, hearing that
there was danger of an uprising in Ha.
vana, because of his failure to crush Ma.
Geo, hastened back to that city.

The Unemployed in Canada.

TORONTO, Nov. 25.-At an immense
mass meeting of the unemployed held
last night, some very strong language
was used by the speakers against the
government city council. Resolutions
were passed favorably to abolition of
the monopoly in land by removing all
taxation on building and personal prop
erty; the spending by the Ontario gov
ernment of 10000, 900, the surplus to be
used in developing Canada's mineral re-
sources and settling the unemployed on
free lands; the currency to be taken out
of the hands of the banks and be Issued
by the government; that the govern
ment establish by law a minimum
rate of wages of 10 cents per hour, and
provide approximation fund for Cana
dian laboringmen in their old age.

that if Spain loses Cuba, the United
States will pay Spain what Cuba is
worth. The Moro damages is now cost
ing them dear. The indemnities which
Spain has asked of them amount to a
hundred times more. They threaten
Europe with the Monroe doctrine, and
Spain. in the interest of Europe, will
take up the gauntlet. Do not speak to
me about the United States mediating.
Spain will fight, and if they do not wish
the Spanish flag to float in Cuba, they
will have to obtain it after glorious
Trafalgar at the gates of Havana
