Tine London Times views with alarm the inr ads of American manufactures that is heing made in the British trade with Mexico. In 1895 English imports into Mex ico amounted to nineteen per cent. while in 1896 they only amo rnted to seventeen per cent. The Ameri- can trade during the same time in creased from forty-five to if y-two and One-half per cent. Mexico dur ing the same time increased her exports l0.0G0.O00$ over imports and under favorable coinage con- ditions will soon become a formid- able competitor in the South Amer ican markets. Manufactures of all kinds are forging ahead and with big milling and smelling plants will soon rival the United States in the production of precious metals and the manufacture of fabrics. Free coinage of silver has worked wonders in the land of manyana.

SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 5.-For some time
past Collector j. c. Fisher has felt sat
isfied that a gang of Chinese smugglers
were operating in this city, and that a
number of the Celestials were being
smuggled here over the border from
Lower California. Yesterday developed
the evidence of this fact, when four
coolies We're arrested when well within
the city limits. Those in charge of the
operations here had sent a Chinese
laundry wagon to meet the smuggled
men, and they were taken aboard.
When within half a mile of their des-
tination the wagon broke down and
witness to the accident reported the
matter at once to police headquarters.
The arrest of the four men, together
with two other Cinnamon in charge of
the wagon, quickly followed, and, they
were taken to the custom house. In
their satchels were found two fine re-
volvers, several long knives, a hand-ax
two or three razors, and lot of Chinese
writing. The six were taken before
United States Commissioner Knowles,
where a charge of unlawfully entering
the United States was entered against
the four, and the other two for aiding
and abetting. They will come up for
trial next Monday.

GEN. SICKLES FOR FREE CUBA



General Daniel E. Sickles made an elo-
quent plea Wednesday night for the rec
ognition of Cuba's independence by the
United States in an address before the
Nineteenth Century club at SherryS S
The news that the club was to discuss
the Cuban question drew an assemblage
that crowded the big white and gold BAN
quet hall. The fact that General Sickles
had been minister to Spain led to his Sc
lection as the speaker to open the dis
cussion.
ANY American" he began, "has le-
gal right to aid the Cuban insurgents in
their struggle for independence by con-
tributing either money, ammunition,
arms or hospital supplies to the patriots" ;"
Then, noticing Col. Ethan Allen in the
audience, he continued:
Either Col. Allen or / will go down to
any pier on the river front and superin-
tend the embarkation upon any vessel
of any shipment of ammunition that
may be contributed addressed to Gen
eral Gomez, commanderin-ch -chief of the
insurgents without the slightest fear of
interference from anybody, although
Spanish spies may be on hand to watch
the whole transaction We can defy any
interference, in fact, because in this act
we would not be violating any law. 1
make this statement because | have eX-
and found no prohibitory enactment"
There was burst of applause al this
unexpected outburst, and General Sick
les got another round of applause when
he followed it up with this statement:
1.-The government can settle this vexed
question today if it wants to, once and
forever, and public opinion demands it,
Civilization, patriotism and humanity
all demand it. l don't mean to advocate
annexation or conquest. There are rea-
sons why believe that, even were Cuba
free and Independent today, we would
hesitate before we annex her to the
United States. Her people have not yet
sufficient knowledge of self-govern-
ment, nor have we the navy that could
guarantee adequate protection to such
a possession. But the American capital
invested in Cuba is fourfold greater than
that invested by any other power, and
that is why America should have an
active interest in Cuba's welfare aside
from sentimental considerations From
the information I have, the insurgent
commanders will never lay down their
arms until they have achieved the alb
solute independence of the island Ac-
ton has been deferred too long. The
promise of reforms by Spain is delusive
The trouble about these reforms is that
they are always promised and never car
ried OUT
The Rev. Father Ducey followed with
a brief plea as Catholic priest for the
liberty of the Cubans. He declared that
no power on earth could prevent the Gu
ban patriots from ultimately attaining
their independence.
