TRAFFIC in HUMAN FLESH
Another Instance OF Spanish Brutality.
Cuban Girls Sold TO the Highest
Bidders at Auction.

Key West, Fla, Feb 14-According
to the Havana newspaper La Lucha,
copy of which was received here by
the last steamer, young Cuban girls,
taken prisoners by the Spaniards, are
being auctioned off in various towns
throughout the island La Lucha is
one of Havana's leading newspapers,
and is controlled by Marquis de Palm
eroia, Weyler's secretary of state In
the issue received here La Lucha's cor
respondent at Artemisa gives an ac-
count of one OF these sales at that
place On Feb s the Spanish column
commanded by Colonel Estruch, re-
turned to Artemisa after raiding a Gu
ban settlement near Cayajabos. The
settlement was destroyed and eighteen
men and five women killed. Eight wo-
men and sixteen children were taken
prisoners, and these We're taken by the
troops to Artemisa. Ten of the chill
dren We're girls ranging in age from 10
to II years and we'll developed, as Gu
ban girls usually are at that age, When
the troops reached Artemsa it was an
nounced that the girls would be sold
at auction on the next day. The sale
took place as advertised in the main
plaza of Artemisia, and a great crowd
was present. One of Colonel Estruch's s
officers acted as auctioneer, and he
described the good points of the girls
as glibly as any crier in the slave
mart OF Constantinople could have
done. The bidding was of the liveliest
character, the women of ill-repute and
notorious debauchees contesting for
possession of the girls. Nine of the
girls We're knocked down to these
characters at prices running from SIS
to $780, and then the tenth prisoner,
who was about IA years old and very
beautiful, was put upon the block, and
her good physical points We're narrated
in the most shameless language by the
auctioneer. The bidding for this girl
was most spirited, but soon narrowed
| down to a contest between one of Col
onel Estruch's sergeants and the
| queen of the half world of Artemisia
| notorious throughout Cuba as a dealer
| in young girls. The price advanced
| rapidly and soon the sergeant Offered
| 800 for the girl. The woman raised
| the sergeant $40, and the latter Offered
| $120. This was too much for the wo-
man and the girl was knocked dowr
| to the sergeant. AS it was known the
latter had no money, inquiry was made
as to whom he represented, and it was
learned that he bid in the girl for Col.
onel Estruch, who had taken a fancy
to her. When the story appeared il
La Lucha it aroused great indignation
among the Catholic clergy of Havana
and the bishop ordered an investiga
tion.
The bishop learned from Father Con
zales, of Artemisia, that the girls haC
been auotioned off as described anC
that the priest had protested in vair
against the traffic in human flesh. Tn,
bishop then went to the place and pro
tested so strongly that he secured al
order on the mayor of Artemisia to re

Wall Street Review.

New York, Feb. 13.-Irregularity was
the chief characteristic of the stock mar
ket at the opening this morning. After
the initial trading, however, speculation
became rather active and prices inclined
sharply in a number of instances.
Sugar fell * to 110A Tobacco, IA to 6Sh
and Leather Preferred 1la to 551a. The
coal and iron stocks were depressed Ten
nessee Coal and Iron fell 23s to 261s The
railway list was weak for a time. Louis
vile and Nashville, Atchison Preferred
and Northern Pacific We're all sold by
foreign houses. The trunk lines and an
thracites showed little of interest. In
the bituminous coalers Hooking Valley
was pressed for sale and fell about points
to 7.
Some of the small bears took their
profits in the afternoon, and this impart-
ed a somewhat steadier tone to specula-
ton. Total sales were 10999l shares.

REAPING A HARVEST NOW.

WestmOreland Operators Not Disposed to
Give Up Their Advantage.
PITTSBURG, July 21.-Great interest is
manifested in the return to the city of
the members of the interstate arbitra-
ton board, as "true uniformity" is
largely dependent upon the success
attained by the members of the board
in their effort to enlist the support of
the operators of their various states in
the movement. General Little wires
from Philadelphia that he has had diff
Guilty in seeing the representatives of
the " estmoreland Coal companies in
regard to the agreement, owing to their
absence from the city.
The situation in the Central Pennsyl-
vania bituminous mining district, ac-
cording to telegram from Phillips
burg, is dependent upon the outcome of
the strike in West Virginia and Mary
land. If the strike becomes genera,
there it is thought that it will extend to
the Central Pennsylvania field, other
wise there will be no suspension of
work. At Barnesbore and Gallitzin,
the miners are out on strike for
higher wages. The operators there fear
that there will be little to do for some
months following the strike, owing to
the large stocks being laid in.
The Westmoreland operators are re-
ported to be doing a land Office business
in coal. One operator estimated that
more coal was shipped from the mines
in Westmoreland county last week
than was sent out during the previous
two months. Three-fourths of this is
going into the Pittsburg and Western
markets. Westmoreland coal is selling
at $1.25 ton.

TROUBLE MAY RESULT.

Two Thousand Strikers Preparing to
March on the Allison Mine.
PITTsBURG, July 21.-The attention
of the miners Of the Pittsburg district
is now riveted on the Allison, Boone
and Enterprise mines near Canonsburg.
The strikers fear that if the Boone and
Allison mines continue in operation it
will induce the Enterprise men to go
back to work. The programme of the
strikers is to make another march on
the Allison mine. The leaders said
during the afternoon that more than
1900 diggers would be massed in the
Panhandle district and another march
made on the mines. If the march is
made the time will be kept secret.
Just at this stage of the strike sensa-
tional developments are expected. The
men are beginning to feel the pangs of
hunger and want and are in condition
bordering on desperation.
1t was learned that organizers have
been secretly at work among the miners
of the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company for several days. One of
them was served with an injunction to
remain off the company's property and
leave the men alone AS nearly as can
be learned concerted effort will be
made in the near future to bring ont
the men at Turtle Croc.-, Sandy Creek
and Plum Creek. Just what procedure
will be resorted to has not yet been de-
cided.

FIRST DAYS PROGRESS.

Conference Report the Tariff Bill
Taken Up in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The tariff
conference report was presented to the
senate during the day, but little prog
ress was made on it beyond the formal
reading of about two-thirds Of the re-
port. There was no indication Of when
the final vote would be reached. Dur
ing the day Mr.. Tillman openly threat
enc6 to filibuster until next December
if cotton bagging and cotton ties were
not restored to the free list. The sugar
amendments occasioned long debate
during which Mr.. Allison stated that
the conference rates were lower than
those of the senate and largely cOnces-
sion to the house. Senators Vest, Jones,
Berry and White questioned this state
ment, arguing that the sugar trust Sc
cured larger benefits from the confer
eEce schedule than from any previ-
OF sly offered. The lumber amendment
also brought out animated criticism
from Senators Teller and Pettigrew.

WHEAT FOR EXPORT.

engagements of 100000 Bushels the
Record for a Day.
NEW YORK, July 21.-The Herald
says: Two circumstances combined to
put up the price of wheat-heavy en-
gagements for export and large fall

The exports and engagements for ex-
port during the day at all the ports and
chief inland points amounted to more
than 100000 bushels; which is by far
the largest amount for any day this
year. OF this amount 100000 bushels
were engaged in New York, 100000
bushels at out ports, 100000 at Chicago
ard 100000 bushels at ST. Louis.
