Discriminating Duty Clause Will
Not Be Decided by Attorney
General McKenna.
Sufficiently Important to Receive
the Attention of the Entire
Cabinet.
The President Will Cut Short
Hiss Outing and Return to
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. President
Mckinley and the entire membership
of the cabinet will probably be consulted
before Attorney General McKenna an
sounces his opinion as to the construc-
tic" % be placed upon section % of the
Ulngley law, imposing discriminating
duties.
The attorney general had expected tc
announce his decision by this time, but
now the understanding is that it is to
be held back few days, and in the
meantime the president will cut short
his outing and return to Washington.
It is probable that the question will be
the subject of general exchange OF
views at meeting of the cabinet before
the opinion is written. The questions
involved are SO important that all the
light possible is to be thrown on them
before the administration is committed
to construction which might demor'
alize the entire foreign commerce OF
the country, and which involves mat
ter of about $50, 1000, 900 per year in Gus
toms revenues, according to the calcula
tons of the officials of the treasury
department..
This calculation is made on the basis
Of last years imports and on the as
sumption that the imports under thu
discriminating duty would be practic
J ally the same in value and would come
in ships of the same nationalities
British ships bringing goods from othe1
countries than British territories il
Europe, would be the heaviest sufferer
and it is expected that one result of tn
imposition of this duty would be thu
transfer of many British ships to th'
flags of nations having moro favorabl

Previous Activity in All Lines of Business
is Maintained.
New YORK, Sept. 6.-Bradstreets
says: Previous activity in all lines OF
trade is maintained. There is better
tone to the demand from 1obbers and
volume of business in wool, leather,
clothing, hats, groceries and light hard
ware has increased. There is a better
request for woolen and cotton goods and
rubber goods and for boots and shoes.
Some wholesale merchants at Western
centers report the largest volume of
August trade on record. There has
been an increased consumption of cot
ton by Southern mills. Western iron
and steel mills have orders to keep them
busy until Jan. l. In the central West
ern states the bituminous coal stike has
had further depressing effect upon the
general industrial situation. At the
Northwest some commercial houses
Have Had to Work Overtime
to meet the demand for goods, and the
warm weather is reported to have prac'
tically assured the Indian corn crop
On the Pacific coast wheat exports have
been checked by inability to secure
crews for vessels. Mercantile collec

MISERY IN CUBA
Official Reports of the Most Sc
rious Character Reach
Washington,
In Consequence of Which Mr..
Sherman Issues Special In
structiOns to COnsuls.
One Consul Reports Great Num-
bers of Women and Chill
dren Starving.

CHICAGO, May 5.-A special to The
Tribune from Washington says:
Official reports of the most serious
character have recently come to the
state department regarding the starva-
ton and misery in Cuba, and Secretary
Sherman has issued special instruc.
tions to all the consular officers In
Cuba, requesting detailed reports as to
the situation in their districts. In the
course of long confidential report
from Matanzas, United States Consul
Alexander c. Brice said:
"Over 1000 persons have been con.
centrated at this place, three-quarters
of whom are entirely without means
of support. Women and children are
dying on the streets from starvation.
Death and misery walk hand in
hand. Among these people, there are
several Americans. Yellow fever,
smallpox, and other diseases are pre-.
valent. All this is the result of Gen
eral Weyler's inhuman policy. Aid
for these sufferers should promptly
come from the United States
Other reports of a similar character
have been received from the regularly
accredited agents of the United States
and have been placed before President
Mckinley.

mite gun into play. The insurgents
sacked the government cOmmissary,
liberated Cubans in the prisons, and
supplied themselves with all the arms
and ammunition that the garrison con-
tanned They nailed the Cuban colors
to the Flagstaff, on the city hall, and
were about to evacuate the city and
bear of the plunder, when Rey's
forces hove in sight.
Robi's forces were still in Bayamo
when Rey's advance was discovered.
Fleeing volunteers had taken the news
Of the attack ON BayalAo to Rey at
Manzanilla, and the Spanish general,
on the point of embarking with his
command for Havana and thence to
Spain, decided to hurry back to Bay
amo to the relief of the garrison.
Dynamic. Gun Did tho Work.
Robi took up position beyond the
CITY and awaited the coming Of the
Spanish hosts. Before Rey's men
could fire shot the dynamite gun was
opened ON them and rafting fire Of
musketry followed. The Spaniards,
though taken by surprise, pushed on
bravely.
The terrific work Of the dynamite
gun, which was used with frightful
effect, however, at length dismayed
them, and panic was soon the result.
The terrorized men retreated in dis
order, and were far beyond the control
of their officers
The slaughter of the Spanish troops
by the dynamite gun was terrible. The
insurgents were practically unscathed,
the enemy having scarcely chance to
fire on them. Garcia decided no to hold
Bayamo, having need of the men for
| more important work.

woods of the third class were raised.
The dividing line i'll this latter class
was placed at 10 cents value, woods un-

The most intensely interesting people of the world just at this moment are the millions of famine and plague stricken India. But little is known of this region by the people of the United States. Such reports as come to us are the things seen through British glasses. What has been the effect of British rule in India? Why these terrible famInes? Why plaques? Julian Hawthorne has been sent by The Cosmopolital Magazine to India to ob- tain answers to these questions at first hand and depict the situation as it ap- pears to an American. The March Cos mopoIitan contains the first of what is probably the most important series of articles ever presented ID this magazine. Nothing has been published which gives an adequate idea of the larger operations of busness-at least nothing by the class of men fitted for such work by thorough familiarity with the subjects of which they write. The article in the March Cosmopolitan on "The Methods of Bank ing" by the president of one of the largest banks of New York-a man of widest business xperience-former Post master General James-is one which every person, however humble his clerk ship or high his place in the financial world, will find interesting and instruc, tive This series will constitute very complete course of business training, and every young man just entering business life and every old man will alike find it of immense value.

The intending purchasers are Chicago people and the price is said to be 500000$ The sale hin ged on the re suit of a test run on fifty tons, which was completed last Saturday. The Chicago parties agreed to take the mine if the plates would show anything from 6$ to 8$.
