THE SHELTER COMBINE.
Meeting to be Held in New York to Eject
an Organizations.

New York, Nov. 22.-Representative
of several big silver mining and re-
Gning works of the United States and
Mexico will meet in New York during
this week to form If possible a COM
bination selling agency to control the
price of silver futures. The price OF
silver for future delivery is always
less than the price of cash silver, and
the smelters want to equalze prices
1t is said the smelters hope by their
combination to stiifen the price of sill
Yer and eventually reduce the output,
although they deny the report that
they intend to try to form silver
trust.
Among the works to be REPRESENTED
at the coming conference are the In

company OF Omaha, the National Mex

A FAULT OF ARBITRATION.
Lord Nnh,bury Says Its Delays May be as
bad ns Those of "a Court of Chanccry.

London, Nov. ga dispatch to the
DAILY News from Pretoria says:
II is understood here that the award
OF the Berne tribunal in the Delagoa
Bay case is in favor of the McMurdo
claim Tor n sum under 1000 900 pounds
sterling, and that Portugal has COM
pleted arrangements for settlement.
The Delagoa Bay company arbtra-
ton, to give it its full title. is an out
come OF the negotiations between
Great Britain and Portugal as to the
action of the latter In east Africa. The
company claimed compensation for the
seizure of It's line by Portugal on June
20, 1883. The case involved also the in
terest OF Col. McMurdo. The matter
was referred to Joseph BlazZi vice.
president to the Swiss federal tribunal.
Charles Sedan. president of the coun-
ell OF state In the Canton Devaud. and
Andrew Heussler, professor Of law at
Basic university as arbitrators the gov
eminent of Portugal having presented
counter claim. To this the company
sent reply and the government Of
Portugal made a rejoinder. There the
matter rested for years. nothing APP

LOWERING COURT MARTIAL.
Trial of the Brutal oHicer Begun ut Fort
Sheridan Today.

Chicago. Nov. 22.-The court martial
OF Captain Leonard y. Lowering began
at Fort Sheridan today. The court Will
try to ascertain whether Captain Low
ering did anything "prejudicial to good
order and military discipline" when he
ordered that prisoner Hammond should
be dragged by the heels to n summary
court for trial. In view of the fact
that the recent court of inquiry was
not long in considering the evidence.
pro and con, II seems to be the general
opinion that this trial board OF officers
will push its work and seal up It's we'd
dict inside OF three days.
Col. A. ]. Hunter who is stationed at
Fort Smelling near st, Paul, MINI, will
act as Judge advocate of the court. He
has been ut Fort Sheridan for two days
looking over the ground and checking
up witnesses.
The president of the court Ia Brik.
Gen. j. +. Wade. commanding the de-
partment OF Dakota. The other mem
beers of the court In order of rank are:
Lieutenant-C Colonel j. n Haskell,
Seventeenth infantry, Lieutenant Col-
onel a. b. Chaffe. Third cavalry; Major
@. w. Miner. Sixth infantry: Major
Forse. First cavalry; Major w. r. Cas-
key. Twentieth infantry; Captain c. s.

The attempt of prisoner Hammond to

change of officials has let this out
through the intense hatred of the
Spanish reformist for the Spanish con-
servative. An income tax of 8 per cent
'v''-d Cor thu care of the hungry,
and collected. The present officers
charge the former officials with put
.ins most Of IT into their pockets
The amount raised was consider
able, the work done was next to moth
ing.
Six thousand dollars went in wages
at 10 cents n day and downward for
swamp filling. Two hundred men
worked on a boulevard two weeks and
paid most of their money back to the
officials for the food they were COM
PEELED to buy in certain places. With
in a week, leading Spanish merchant
slapped the former mayors face after
taxing him and the former governor
with this and other stealings.
Another example is the barracks
built for the concentrates, which APP
pears on the books to have cost $4,000.
The material was taken from dis
mantled buildings, the labor was COM
pulsory, and the barracks could not
have cost more than $1,000. With such II
record and the boast"We are not going
to pay any attention to Blanco's or
ders," the Spanish authorities OF Ma
tnnzaS cannot be expected to give to
the starving the care they require.
To show how cheaply the dead could
have been kept alive, but glance is
necessary at the books of the United
States agent who Is caring for desti-
tute American citizens.
There have been 5000 persons of the
reconcentrado class. Up to May cath,
many of them We're in want Since
the American agent came on that date
only half dozen have died, and II has
cost but 10 cents a day for each per-
son at war prices for food bought in
Matanzas city.
The daily ration is six ounces of
potatoes, rice, cadflsh or jerked beef,
six ounces of cornmeal. four ounces of
sugar,two ounces of lard and an ounce
and u half of beans.
The Cuban physicians prescrlb,
gratis and the Cuban druggists sell
at cost. Such ration and medical
attendance would save $500 souls in
Matanzas and tens and tens of thou
sands in western Cuba.
The Red Cross society has permit
from Weyler to so even into the rebel
camps. Gen. l}lanco doubtless would
extend every facility for its work now,
as 1t must be done only in the forth
He'd towns and only for obedlent sub
1ects of Spain. Fifteen cents n day
ana the Red Cross should save n life.
rev thousand dollars would save the
remains of the rural population of
