ORE SALES.
Several Important Purchases OF Chandler
and Minnesota Ores

Several Important Purchases OF Chandler
and Minnesota Ores
The beginning of ore purchases by
the chief consumer in the Pittsburg
district is the important event OF the
week in iron ore circles. The bust
ness closed in the past day or two is
said to include considerable amounts
of Chandler and Minnesota ores, the
price of the former being $4.25 and
the latter 1856. The probabilities
are that additional round-lot buying
will follow, though no authentic re-
port can be made on this point. The
Carnegie purchases have been expect
ed to give new stimulus to the ore
market and to be followed by run of
INQUIRY from furnacemen, If this
proves to be the case, the next few

has been some business on non-Bes-
semer ores in the week, but in nc
large way. The prices heretofore

persons believed that Gomez
would be able to enforce his or
der all over the country. Five
months later the second procla-
nation was issued.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF LIBERATION,
TERRITORY OF THE SANcTI SPIRITUs,
Nov, 6, 1895.
Animated by the spirit of Interchangeable
| resolution in defence of the rights of revolu-
ton of redemption of this country of colon
lists, Inundated and despised by Spain, and
in harmony with what has been decreed con-
corning the subject in the circular dated the
LIST of July, have ordered the following:
Article THAT all plantations shall be
totally destroyed, their cane and outbuild-
ings burned, and railroad connections des-
troyed.
Article II-All laborers who shall aid the
sugar factories-these sources OF supplies of
| which we must deprive the enemy-shall be
considered as traitors to their country.
| Article III.-All who are caught in the act,
| or whose violation of Article II. shall be
proved, shall be shot. Let all chiefs of oper-
atoms of the army of liberty comply with
| this order, determined to unfurl triumph
antly. even over ruin and ashes, the flag of
| the republic of Cuba.
| In regard to the manner of waging the
war follow the private instructions that
have already given.
| For the sake of the honor of our arms and
your well-known courage and patriotism, it
is expected that you will strictly comply
| with the above orders.

Then the purpose of Gomez
was attained. To some COM
plants of sugar estate proprie-
tors he replied in another
proclamation under the date of
Nov. II, in which these words
occur:
81 therefore place the res
possibility for so great a ruin
on those who look on impas-
sively and force us to the ex-
IRENE measures which they
then condemn like dolts and
hypocrites that they are. After
so many years of supplication,
humiliations, contumely, ban
ishment, and death, when this
people of it's own will, has
arisen in arms, there remains
nothing else to do but to tri-
umph; it matters not what
means are employed to accom-
complish it."
The severity of these meas
ures was palliated to some ex-
tent by the Provisional Gov
eminent of the republic, and
for the sake of the Cuban fam

Mariel to Majana was passed
before by Maceo himself and
other Cuban leaders with small
forces, and by Gomez three
months ago. Now Weyler has
concentrated there his main
forces, and to do this he has
been obliged to abandon the
other parts of the island, while
Maceo, in possession of the Pi-
mar del Rio province, does not
intend to try. to pass until he
can do it with success. Moth
ing can be better for the Gu
bans than a trocha, the patriots
say. While the Spanish are
kept in one strong line, the Gu
bans, on one side and the other,
without the least disturbance,
levy their taxes and enforce
their laws over the whole coun-
try.
The formidable army which
Spain is obliged to keep in
Cuba is one proof of the
strength of the Cubans and
their control over the country.
Another fact is that they stop
ped sugar grinding throughout
the island. The first order to
stop the grinding was issued in
July, and reads as follows:
GENERAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF
LIBERATION NAJAsA, Camagney July /, 1895.
To the Planters and OUners of Cattle Ranches:
In accordance with the interest OF the rev.
olution for the independence of the country,
for which we are in arms, and whereas all
explorations of any product whatsoever
tend to aid the Government we are fighting,
it has been decided by the General-in-Chief
to issue this general order throughout the
island, that the introduction of articles of
commerce, as well as beef and cattle, into
the towns occupied by the enemy, is abso-
lutely prohibited. The sugar plantations
will stop their labors, and whatsoever shall
attempt to grind the crop, Notwithstanding
this order, will have his cane burned and
his buildings demolished. The person who,
disobeying this order, tries to profit from
the present situation of affairs, will show by
his conduct little respect for the rights of
the revolution, and therefore shall be con-
sidered as an enemy, treated as a traitor,
and tried as such in case of his capture.
MAKING GOMEZ, General-in-Chef.
Nevertheless, throughout the
country preparations were
made for grinding the crop.
The Spanish authorities laugh
ed at the proclamation and few

marching to the Occident prob
ably, with the intention of at
lacking the trocha and aiding
Maceo in passing it. Great
concentrations of Cuban forces
are being made in the province
of Havana, and an important
engagement is expected at any
moment. The battle of Lech-
usa, which was fought a few
days ago and was as brilliant a
triumph for Maceo as Peratejo,
gives hope for a result equally
satisfactory to Cubans in the
future encounter.
From these facts it will be
seen that the Cubans have &C
complished important results,
even if they are not in posses
sion of any important city.
Now, as to their ability to de-
feat the Spaniards, although
fewer in number and under
many disadvantages. 1t can
be explained by two principal
facts. First, superiority of the
Cuban Generals over the Span
ish commanders, and, second
the superiority of the Cuban
soldiers over the Spanish rank
and file. The Cubans are fight
ing for an ideal and the Span
ish because obliged to do so by
by their Government. Gen.
Martinez Campos was bitterly
attacked in Spain for his failure
to stop the revolution. Not
withstanding this, he was a
brave soldier and an able polit-
ical leader. But Gomez is I'm
doubtedly a military genius,
and Maceo has proved the pos
session of no less skill and
courage. After Campos, Weyler
took command of the Spanish
army. He has demonstrated
hiscruelty upon defenseless and
peaceful people, but has not
shown talents as a military
leader. What he is doing is
considered proof of his incapac-
ity by some critics. In the
former ten years war trochas
proved to be a failure from a
military point of view. The
formidable trocha of Moron was
passed by Gomez in 1875. In
this war it was passed again
several times by Gomez and
Maceo. The same trocha from

Concluded from Last Week.
Since that time the Cubans
have had one triumph after an
other. Gen. Maceo invaded the
province of Pinar del Rio, and
on Jan. % took possession OF
Mantua, the most western town
of the island. From Nov. 8,
when he started from Holguin,
to Ian. % he had marched, fight
ing nearly every day against the
Spanish troops, $40 Spanish
leagues, and had captured from
the enemy three cannons and
about 5000 rifles and 10000 car
tridses. He had only 80 men
killed and 100 wounded. From
Feb. 9to March 10 he abandoned
the province of Pinar del Rio
and retired to place near Co.
lon. Then he invaded Plnar
del Rio again, defeating in
every encounter the Spanish
who tried to oppose him. Dur
ing that time he marched 26212
Spanish leagues, capturing sew
eral thousand stand of arms
and much ammunition. The
principal battles of these sue
cessful campaigns are those of
Tobito, Nal TEMPO, Calimete,
Batabano, and Candelaria, all
described in the report of
Brigadier Miro, Chief of Maceo's
staff, published in The Sun.
In the meantime Gomez moved
to the Orient, making also a
successful campaign in Las
Villas. He attacked Santa
Clara, capturing a large supply
of arms and ammunition, but
abstaining from harm to the
city for the sake of the Cuban
families living there.
The present situation is as
follows: In the province of
Pinar del Rio is Maceo, with
more than $4,000 men, encamp-
ed near the trocha or military
wall made by the Spanish from
Mariel to Majana to prevent
him from passing into the pro-
vince of Havana. Gomez is

Perfection in Cake Making.

Housekeepers frequently wonder why 1t
Is that they cannot make biscuit and
cake that are light and palatable and that
taste as delicious as the biscuit and cake
made by their mothers and grandmothers,
the delightful memory of which even to
this day creates a sensation OF pleasure
to the palate. The trouble arises from the
highly adulterated state OF the materials
they have to work with, particularly the
cream-of-tartar and soda used to raise or
leaven the food. Cream-of-tartar and
soda that are now procurable FOR domestic
purposes contain large quantities of lime.

that no person can tell the exact guam

insure perfect results. From using too
much or too little, or because Of the adul-
terants in them. bitter, salt. yellow, or
heavy biscuits or cakes are frequently
made. These adulterants are also injuri-
GUS to health.
All this trouble may be avoided by the
use of the popular Royal Baking Powder.
Where this preparation IL employed in the
place Of cream-of-tartar and soda, it's per-
feet leavening power always insures light,
flaky, digestive biscuit, cakes, and pastry,
that are perfectly wholesome and free
from the impurities invariably present
when the old raising preparations are en-
ployed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are in.
formed by the most reliable scientists, is
perfectly pure, being made from highly
refined ingredients, carefully tested, and
SO exactly proportional and combined
that It never fails to produce the best and
uniform results. An additional advantage
In its employment comes from tho fact
that bread or other food made with II
may be eaten while hot without fear of
indigestion or any unpleasant results,
while being equally sweet, moist, and
grateful to the palate when cold.
