New York, November 23.-The sec

The prices of green and roasted coffee
are now lower than ever before. Rio
No. on the spot is quoted at SIC a
pound. The market for futures has
also broken fifteen points, owing to the
steady increase in the visible supply
in the United States, which is hrgest in
the history of the trade, being more
than one million bags.
The price of green coffee a year ago
was 10 cents, and that of roasted coffee
1515c. The margin between the two
varieties has therefore been reduced
from size to 21Ac. In other words,
cut in two.
The price of roasted coffee in pack
ages as sold by the Arbuckles and the
Woolson Spice Co. has fallen to nine
cents pound.
A representative of the Arbuckles is
quoted as saying that this price is be-
low cost and representative of the
Haveeyers. who control the Woolson
Spice Company, says there is a profit
in innocent coffee.

NEW YORK, November 23.-George W.
Schiller arrived here to-day from Port
Limon. Mr.. Schifferis a citizen of Buffa-
10, n. Y. He was superintendent Of the
gold mine at Honda, Colombia.
Through ignorance he failed to turn in a
certificate Of the quantity of of liquors

soldiers entered his house in the middle
of the night and attempted to drag him
to jail. He resisted and kept them at bay
until morning. Subsequently he was
dragged in the fierce sun to the court
house at Victoria. A rope was tied about
his neck and he was jeered, insulted and
i'll treated. Schiller instituted suit for
$4,000 against the government.

Madrid, November 23.-Premier Sa
gasta, replying to-day to a Catalan dep
utatlon, formally declared that the gov.
ernment of Spain could in no way mod
ify its programme Of autonomy for
Cuba.
Continuing, the premier expressed the
hope that the Cuban assembly would
select commissions which would co.
operate with Spanish commission in
determining the commercial relations
between Cuba and Spain by consulting
their utual interests.
This is interpreted as meaning that
the cabinet will adopt the scheme Of
Senior Moret, the Minister for the Colo
MES. who, as cabled to the Associated
Press yesterday, announced to Cata-
Ian delegation that he had fully consid-
cred the general interests of the Colo
mics and was convinced that his policy
alone would lead to a peaceful solution.
Continuing, Senior Moret explained to
Tic CdlaIeN utltSdleS tHat IN ueallHS
with the colonies, national, and not
merely certain, industrial interests
must be considered.
In conclusion, the minister announc-
ed his intention TO maintain his opin-
ions before the cabinet, and if his coll
leagues disagreed with him, he was pre-
pared to resign. which step now seems
to have been avoided.
