A French authority gives some inter
esting figures as to the annual produc
ton of books. In 1895, according tc
this statement, oslo new books and
new editions we're issued in Great Brit
ain, 5,469 in the United States, 23.s07 in
Germany, 12,4s5 in France and e.43T in
Italy. These are remarkable figures,
but before any deductions are made
from them II would be desirable 10 have
some further information as 10 the man.

piled Does anyone seriously suppose
that more books are printed and pub

States? The fact is that the biblio-
graphical methods Of the countries

comparison is impossible. The lists of
given in the British trade
journals are VIGOROUSLY incomplete.

CUBAN AFFAIRS.

HAVANA (via Key WesD, June 70
A stage coach bound from Havana for
San Jose de Las Lajas, a nearby set
tlement, was stopped on the road by a
large band of insurgents, who killed
with their machetes the eighteen scouts
who were escorting the coach, six
guerrillas, one Spanish officer, q doc
tor, a carpenter and three other pas
sengers who attempted to save their
lives by flight The only occupants of
the coach who were not killed by the
insurgents were a woman and child.
The insurgents captured cons1dera-
BILE amount of private booty, $4,000
worth of medicine and $4,000 in cash.
They also secured a convoy consisting
of two carts laden with provisions and
supplies.
General Weyler has liberated four
teen women and fifteen children who
were taken prisoners in an insurgent
camp.
La Lucha' has a dispatch from Tu-
mas stating that in the last engagement
between the Spanish forces and the
insurgents under General Gomez, the
horse ridden by Gomez was shot under
him.
MADRID, June GA report that
has been circulated to the effect that an
alliance had been formed between the
Governments of Spain and Japan for
the purpose of resisting interference by
the United States in Cuba, and the an
nexation by that Government of the
Hawaiian Islands is denied in official
circles
