PARIS Oct. "a special correspond
ent of the Figaro has written au ar
ticle, which is published in that paper,
on the mission of Gen. Stewart l..
Woodford, the United States minister
to Spain.
The writer says the attitude of Gen.
Woodford has thus far been ire
proachable, and after reiterating the
supposed plans of the United States, he
concludes:
"Senor Sagasta's responsibility is
heavy and b. no means enviable. 1t
is dangerous to admit in the negotia-
tions with the Cubans the interference
of the United States, as the latter
would thereby acquire a kind of right
to control the affairs of the island. 1t
is, moreover, impossible to mistake the
aims of American diplomacy, which de-
sires to gradually detach Cuba from
Spain. The latter is entitled to the
solicitude of Europe, which is herself
threatened in regard to her colonial Sc
curity,'

II is comfortable day when cotton
does not fall an eighth. Cotton has de.

ing that time flour has risen more than
81 per barrel, and almost everything

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
No Cotton at All.

Vicksburgs cotton exchange and
oard of trade asked local health au-
5horities to admit cotton products from
uninfected points south of that city.
These authorities, unwilling to grant
privileges to offers which are denied
planters Of the county, decided TO ad-
points except Kinds county, which
,reated great popular discomfort, re-
sulting in an appeal to the State board
Of health, which at once issued instruc-
tions that no cotton, etc, should be ad-
mitted into Vicksburg. Local authori-
lies are content to let the matter rest
there, but observe that they merely fol-
lowed the footsteps Of the State board,
which but few days ago sanctioned
shipments of cotton from all uninfected
points except Jackscn, Harrison, Kinds
and Hancock counties. Many business
men object to cotton coming from War
rem county. but want it to be permitted
to come in from points north.
