The anthracite trade is in a somewhat
mixed condition, owing to the overproduc-
ton of coal during the past three months.
the open winter we have had thus far this
season and the desire of one or more Of the
larger producing and transporting interests
to mine more coal this month than the con-
dition Of the weather and already over
stocked markets require. 1t is well known
that there are at least one million tons of
unsOid coal at tidewater shipping and dis
tributirg points, and this coupled with the
needs foi ready cash by some operators, has
led to heavy cutting OF prices and the CON
sequent unsettled condition of the markets
for anthracite. Efforts are now being made
to stop the useless competition by radically
restricting the output of coal this and next
month. There was a conference of the man
ayers of the several companies controlling
the mining and carrying of anthracite held
at New York last week, and it is confidently
believed that a more stable condition of the
trade will result therefrom.

What might have been frightful accident,
had it not been for the promptness of a by
standor, took place at the Lehigh station this
morning. Among the passengers for the
Now York bound train for his native country
was a Polish man, who had been accompanied
to the train by his brother and wife. After
bidding farewell to their native countryman
on the car platform they both repaired to the
station platform and burst into toars. As the
train pulled out they started to cross the
tracks, walking directly in front of another
train which was rolling into the station.
Through the prompt action Of a commercial
man who grssped both Of them by the necks
and threw them aside, a frightful accident
was avoided.

New YORK, Jan. 19.-The Cuban junta
has something like $40, 900 tied up in de.
posits with the United States governments,
made in lieu of real estate security for
the appearance of several members Of the
revolutionary party who are charged with
violation Of the neutrality laws. Cash
bail was given because real estate owners
were unwilling to assume the risk of be-
coming surety for a flibuster who might
be called out Of the country just at the
time set for trial. Knowing this, the
Spanish government has sought to en-
barrass the junta by causing arrests to be
made on old and almost forgotten
charges, so that it would be necessary to
devote to bail purposes the capital might
be advantageously used in the purchase of
arms and ammunition.
The resources of the Cubans, however.
are greater than the Spaniards imagine.
Said a Cuban leader;
'Instead of being crippled financially bv
these arrests, the Cubans can meet them
as fast as they come Contributions have
been coming in more literally since the
death of MaceO than before from all over
the United States. A generous donation
came recently from Paris. We are in the
position Of solvent merchants, while Spain
is a bankrupt"

HAVANA, Jan. 10. - Captain General
Weyler has issued . circular a%mplifying
article 2 Of his edict Of Jan. 1. It says that
the Spanish authorities must not permit
groceries, dry goods or medicines to leave
a town unless the remittors Of each To-
cality guarantee the loyalty and standing
of the purchasers and vouch for their
actual need Of the goods. The military
authorities are required to sign each in
voice in duplicate, and one of them will
serve as a guide for the Spanish author.
tiles until the consignment arrives at its
destination. This step has been taken to
still further do away with the possibility
of the insurgents being able to purchase
supplies in the towns, and there's no deny
ing that the work of starving the insur-
gents into subsection Is being pushed with
more vigor and success than the work Of
subduing them by force Of arms.
The insurgents have attacked Santiago
de las Vegas, this province, from several
points. Their fire was arrested by the
Spanish garrison in the trenches, and a
government force under Captain Echen.
ique attacked the enemy outside the town,
with the result that the insurgents re-
treated.
Senior Maceiras, editor Of La Patria, Of
Santa Clara, has been imprisoned by or
der of the governor Of that province. He
Is charged with circulating false charges
against the authorities. The publication
OF La Patria has been stopped.
1t Is reported that Gomez has sent a spe-
cial messenger to General Ruiz Rivera,
the insurgent leader in the province Of
Pinar del Rio, urging him at all hazards
to create q diversion in that part Of the
island, SO as to prevent the captain gen
eral from sending an overwhelming force
against the insurgent army which is adj
vancing from the eastern part Of Santa
Clara towerd Matanzas, with the inten-
ton, 1t is said, Of pushing on as near as
possible to the capital.
The %gunboats Centinela and Relampago
left Manzillo on the night of Jan. 10, with
the object Of going up the river Canto to
Fort Guamo, in compliance with the or.
ders Of General Borch. At 10 o'clock in
the morning of Jan. IL both gunboats
were near Mango landing when an explo-
sion of a torpedo, which had been we'll
placed in the river, sunk the Relampago.
Those of the crew who survived swan to-
ward shore, but were fired on from the
banks. At the critical moment a boat
was launched from the Centinela. which
rescued the men in the water. The expe-
ditiOn had to return to ManzilIo. Six of
the Relampago's officers and crew were
killed outright, and all of the rest received
wounds of more or less severity. On the
Centtnela the commander, Senior Puerta,
was seriously wounded, while Of the crew
one was killed and nine wounded.
