CUBANS WIN VICTORIES.

Reports From Santa Clara Tell Of Several
Most Important engagements.
CHICAGO, March IA special to The
Tribune from Havana, via Key West,
Fla, says: Advices from Santa Clara
are that in the battle at Ceniza the loss
of the Spanish under General Weyler
amounted to 500 killed and wounded.
In the battles at Calabazas and Cabal-
guam the Spanish losses are reported to
have been equally as large, but the
Spanish dead and wounded were sent
to Sancti Spiritus and definite figures
cannot be obtained. In these two bat
ties General Gomez commanded i'll per-
son. The fighting has been continuous
on Weyler's march through Santa
Clara and the Cuban patriots have
Scored Numerous Victories.
The battle of Ceniza resulted in a COM
plete rout for the Spanish commanded
by General Legura. He was met by
the patriots under General Carrillo and
Colonel Mirabal, and his two battal-
ions were held i'll check and then
forced back, the Cubans charging with
their machetes. One field piece,
mounted ON an eminence, did terrible
execution. General Legura reformed
his forces, and with two new battal-
ions again charged the Cuban forces
and was again repulsed with heavy
losses. In this battle Captain John
Linn, young American from Jackson
vile, Fla, who landed in Cuba with
the second expedition carried by the
Three Friends, commanded a dyha-
mite gun in General Carillo's COM
mand, and with this terrible weapon
Literally Moved Down the Spanish.
The Spanish government officials lay
the blame of the Spanish defeat to the
work Of this gun, which Captain Linn
had placed in position to command a
defile through which the Spaniards had
to pass. In this battle AZ Spaniards
are known to have been killed and
more than 100 wounded have been
brought into Havana.
One Of the most disastrous engage
ments of the present campaign for the
Spanish was the battle at Valdez Hill,
near Vaguajay, in which the Spanish
force under Colonel Cozes was slaugh.
tered by the hundreds with machetes
in the hands of the infuriated Cubans.
No quarter was given. The Spanish
cavalry was cut down, horses and men
being piled together and hacked to
pieces.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

Placing of Immense Orders for Rails tho
Most Important Feature.
NEW YORK, March 1.-Bradstreets
says: The placing of orders for nearly
/ 800, 900 tons of steel within the past
three weeks is the most important in
fluence for improvement in general
trade since the November election The
contracts for steel rails since the break
in price, together with expenditure
necessary to lay the rails, means the
placing in circulation of no less than
$50, 10000 The rush for rails appears
to be about over and the outlook is for
higher prices. Many woolen mills in
New England have started up. Manu-
facturers are buying in expectation of
a duty being placed on raw wool. Re-
cent improvement in cotton goods is
maintained.
At most cities there has been no
change in the volume or temper of
trade. Demand has been quiet, and
while expectations favor an early i'm
provement, progress thus far has been
somewhat disappointing.

BRUSSELS AND TAPESTRY.
The Difference Between These Two Kinds
of Carpets Explained.

By placing a brussels and tapestry
carpet side by side a clearness and
sharpness are noticed about the brussels
carpet which are absent from the tapes
try In the latter there is mistiness
about the colors, and the pattern lacks
that sharpness and delicacy which char
acterize the former This is due to the
process of manufacture A brussels is a
yarn dyed, and tapestry may be de-
scribed as a printed fabric, but the print
ing is done upon the yarn before the
process Of weaving.
The whole method of manufacture is
most ingenious In the making of five
frame brussels no fewer than |, $50 ends
of face yarns are required for the weav
ing of one piece of standard quality,
each frame consisting of 256 bobbins,
and 256 ends only can come to the face
at each pick of the pattern. Therefore
l,024 ends of yarn are hidden in the
body of the fabric There are many
qualities Of tapestry, but in the produc-
tion Of the standard quality only 216
ends of face yarn are required, instead
Of |, $50, which shows at once that the
brussels carpet has the great advantage
Of being thicker, softer and altogether a
more durable cloth apart from other ad.
vantages which it possesses. There is
limitation in the number of colors used
in brussels. In tapestry there is no
limit. In the brussels the whole Of the
colors used show more or less striped
appearance at the back Of the fabric
In tapestry they do not show at the
back at all. This fact is made use of by
householders in purchasing carpets, this
being about the only way the average
person can tell the difference between
them. In order to pass off tapestry as
brussels some ingenious makers have
resorted to the stripping in regular
manner Of the backs of the former. The
stripy effect in the latter is broken and
irregular. A casual observation Of the
clearly defined character of a brussels
pattern should enable buyer to distin.
guish between the two fabrics Fur.

MONEY MAKING.
The Quickest Way TO Pile Up Wealth In
This business Era.

The reason of the modern differences
in favor of business as an instrument OF
money making is not far TO seek. lt is
the enormous growth in the scale of ev-
erything in which business can be done.
The enterprise of merchant, OF con-
tractor, of mine dealer, even of shop
keeper, may now cover the whole world
and may be carried on, moreover, MAIN
ly upon credit 1t may be doubted
whether, except in those transactions
which are called financial, and which
really mean the taking of heavy brides
for pecuniary support, any one transac-
ton ever yields quite as much as the
same transactions would have yielded
60 years ago; whether for example, any
cargo ever produces ton for ton an equal
margin of profit, or whether any Gus
toner in shop pays quite so heavy
percentage ON the goods he buys.
1t is the magnitude and multiplied
ton of cargoes which yield fortunes,
the thousands instead of hundreds Of
customers whom clever dealers may in
duce to spend money. The new system
of rapid turnover is, of course, precisely
the same thing-the dealer selling four
times what he did and using only the
same capital. This advantage Of scale is
almost entirely wanting to the profess
sional man, for the obvious reason that
he is hampered by limitations of time.
There are only 600 minutes in a hard
worked day, and the seeker after in
10. III he,
cided or as rapid, must give some OF
those minutes to each client or patient
or contractor with difficulty to meet.
II he does not. he loses custom, and
with custom income rapidly slips away.
There are no doubt favorite lawyers,
doctors md even engineers whose ad-
vice is sought at great expense, when
equally good advice is procurable much
cheaper, but still the favorites must give
their advice and lose their days in doing
IL, or they will speedily be deserted.
Nothing can alter this first law, while
the exaggeration Of professional fees is
kept down in the case Of solicitors by
positive statute, in that of doctors by an
etiquette difficult to define or explain
there seems to be no reason why great
physician should not charge according
to skill-and In that of Sbarristers and
engineers. by a competition, which,
though never acknowledged, is none the
less real and effective. We can not see
what is to alter this condition of affairs,
and do not believe that, however civil
lization may develop itself, professional
skill will ever again be the quickest
road to large accommodations. London
