SPAIN SEES a CHANCE.

May Ask America to Rcpress Active
Cuban Societies.
Following upon the almost universal ex-
pressions of disapprobation shown by the
American press Mt large at the savage
methods of warfare used by Gen. Gomez
in the matter of the assassination Of
Lieut. Col. Ruiz, Madrid correspondent
says he has the best authority for stating
that the Spanish Government thinks the
moment proptious for approaching that
of Washington and asking the latter to
use oil means possible to rcpress revolu-
tionary societies in the United States
which are giving active assistance to Co
mez's force.
All the Spanish Government asks is the
application of the rule laid down by Pres
ident Grant as the duty of one friendly
nation toward another. If that is applied
the Government considers the termination
of the revolution will occur within a short
time. The indignation was twice as great
when the news reached Madrid that Ruiz
was not even permitted soldiers death,
but was hanged.

Latest Cattle Census.


The latest cattle census showed that the
bovine population of the country had un-
dergone a shrinkage of nearly 2,OOO,OOO
head. 1t is also well known that heavy
percentage Of that shrinkage has taken
place in the so-called corn belt States,
which is better understood as Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The
prime cause of the shrinkage in beef cat
tie was the very low figures for the same
beginning two years ago, and only ending
about the middle of this year. Then farm
crs and feeders began to skirmish for
young cattle to feed; to find something to
consume the big corn crops Of the past
two years. Every inch Of territory in this
country and Canada was searched for the
young steers ready to go on grass and
corn afterwards; prices were run up to
the highest range known In the trade, and
yet the farmers wanted more. The ranch
men saw here their way to get out of the
misfortune they had met on account or
destructive winter and disappointing
spring season; their cattle coming in In
IN emaciated condition to meet a scant
and wasted pasturage; the season for
feeding going out rapidly, so that they
were unfit to send to market for beeves.
Especially were these the conditions in
the British Northwest, Montana and
North Dakota. However, by selling their
thin cattle to Kansas and Nebraska, also
to the feeders at the big distilleries Of
Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, realizing
n steady demand at prices that seemed
low, but ut the same time doing better
than II they had undertaken to crowd
them on the barket as beeves.

RUssIA,s LATEST SCHEME.
To Correct the Baltic and Black Seas
by Canal.

The Russian Government will begin
next spring upon stupendous piece of
engineering work. The project contem-
plates the construction of canal con-
Meeting the Baltic and Black seas, which
can be traversed by battle ships of the
heaviest tonnage ut six knots per hour.
BY means of this canal Russia will be
able to mobilize huge fleet in the Baltic
in 1877 hours by bringing to that sea the
Black Sea squadron, or can collect in the
Black Sea in the same time the Baltic
and Black Sea fleets. In case of gen.
eral European war over the division of
China at the time Of the completion of
the canal it would not be difficult matter
for Russia to send her fleet through the
Bosporus, the Sea of Marmora and the
Dardanelles into the Mediterranean, down
the Suez canal, across the Indian ocean
to China, while she could utilize the trans
Siberian Railroad to transport troops.
