MADE A FORTUNE QUICKLY.
Ex-Polceman Haywood Comes Back
From Klondike Rich.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 22.-Ex-Ser-
geant of City Police Wallace Haywood
returned from the Klondike, having
probably made fortune faster than
any other adventurer in that district.
He left here in May, and reached Circle
City just on the day of the big STAN
pede to the Klondike. He purchased
a third interest in claim No. So, on Bon
ANA creek, and owns outright a very
rich claim on Dominion creek. His
claim on Bonanza creek has been sold
and Haywood refuses to state the price.
1t is understood he got 100000 for his
interest.
He left, last Tuesday, for New York,
to close the dial. He intends to return
to the Klondike in the spring. He fully
corroborates the story regarding priva-
ton at Dawson, this winter, and
strongly advises every one to wait until
spring before going up.

From the report it appears that they
defeated a much larger force than them
selves, capturing the Spanish captain and
taking a provision train that the Spanish
detachment was guarding. The battle
took place last week, probably on Fri
day, judging by the date Of the letter re-
ceived at Palinca, south of Cristobal. A
detachment of 800 Spanish cavalry was
escorting train load of provisions when
the Texans, who numbered only 106 men,
ambushed both sides of the road. Tents,
arms, ammunition and provisions were
captured The Spaniards left five dead
and forty wounded on the field while the
Texans had FIVE killed and fourteen
wounded.

FINANCIAL.
STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, Jan. 1.-THE stock specu-
lation was narrow today, with the
bulk of the very limited dealings in a
few specialties, which, as class, are
usually affected by pecuniary considera-
tons. The general trend of prices was
covering of short contracts. A few
stocks ran counter to the movement,
notably Wheeling and Lake Erie, and
Baltimore and Ohio. In both cases
liquidation was clearly evident. The
decline was due to the circulation OF
rumors suggesting the probability or an
impending receivership as result OF
severe losses by the continued dcmorali-
cation in freight rates and prices for
bituminous coal. Officials of the com
pany denied the reports and stated that
no such step had been contemplated up
to the present time, which caused rally
of 1 3-S per cent in the preferred. The
general market was superior to the
except for brief interval around mid
day, when pressure against Manhattan
and the Southwesterns caused some re-
cessions in price. The afternoon mar,
ket lacked important features until
around delivery hour, when support was
given to some of the higher-prced in
dustrials. Covering of the shorts was
noted in the grangers, Manhattan, Ten
nessee Coal, Leather preferred, Della
ware and Hudson and Tobacco, common
and preferred, the last two gaining a
point each. The closing was strong and
active at marked gains in many respects.
The bond market continued to display
strength on investment purchases for
local and foreign account. The dealings
today were marked by an increased trad
ing in the usually inactive mortgages
and subsequently improved gains over
preceding sales. Sales, $1,5S3,O00. st.
Louis and San Francisco trust IS de-
clined 2 IL per cent. Union Pacific, Den

CUBAN WAR NOTES.

Havana, Jan. 9-Advices have been
received from Trinidad to the effect that
Maxine Gomez was encamped at farm
near that city. Insurgent Generals
Lapua and Gomez passed the plantation
in company with several other insurgent
commanders. Reports from Cienfuegos
state that ON January they started in
the direction of EsperanZa and Bachuello.
Over 500 families are reported to have
been burned out of their homes owing to
the recent orders to destroy property, and
even the homes of pacificios were burned.
Many of these persons have been unable
to save their clothing. Mothers are
hurrying with their babes in arms from
the spot, without food and resting place.
Many of them are not liable TO live,
owing to the prolonged period of suffer
ing, and many of them will starve to
death.
The sugar plantations of Hermargo,
Parquiterillo, Lumba and Saco, all be-
longing to foreigners and located in the
Cienfuegos district, have received orders
to suspend the grinding of cane. They
hope to commence again on January II.
The colony of Ell Toino, near Esperan-
zas, has also been burned by the insur-
gents, and the destruction of property is
reported as being very extensive.
A large number Of huts in the vicinity
of San Felipe were burned on the night
of January 8, leaving many country fami-
lies destitute and homeless.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Wheat sold below
so cents today, but rallied later and
closed strong at so 7-S cents, or 3-4c
above the closing figures of yesterday.
Good cash buying and renewed reports
of the Argentine crop failure were fea-
lures in the advance. Corn and oats
followed wheat, making advance OF
lac each. Provisions were weak and
lost Zoe to 15c.
In wheat, Liverpool opened only lid
to I'D lower than it closed the day be-
fore, Notwithstanding the 3-Sc decline
here. Because of such relative firm
ness abroad the market opened firm, at
from 80 3-Sc to 80 LIE for May, or from
lac to $50 above the point it closed at
on Monday. AS the northwestern re-
ceipts, however, gave indications OF in
creasing, the foreign news was 7 not
found to be sufficient to maintain the
advance against the vigorous selling
May yielded slowly, but surely until it
reached Soc and then dropped another
lac to 20 3-4c in about half Il minute,
the lowest price it has sold at for some
time. That was the turning point,
however; for, as the first selling furry
ceased, the news of the day began to
have its effect, and the price recovered
cent almost as fast as it had gone the
other way. One of the strong features
was an Argentine cable from the repre-
sentative of the Deering Harvesting
company, in Argentine, who reported
that the crop there was failure and
that the export surplus would not reach
100000 bushels and would probably
not be more than 100000. Another
encouraging factor was the sale of 100,-
600 bushels of cash wheat here for
prompt shipment to the seaboard by rail,
as well as the repetition of crop damage
news from Europe. This was intluen-
tial enough to put the price up to so 5-Sc
bs II o'clock. There was some reaction
after that On realizing, but in the main
the session. May finally went to 50
7-Sc and closed at that figure.
Corn was firm, but dull; the strength
coming principally from the advance in
wheat. The only bearish item was the
local receipts, which were 800 cars, but
they are expected to be light tomorrow.
Oats-The opening was firm and the
feeling throughout the session was in
dicative of strength. This feeling was
mainly in sympathy with wheat. yet
good short buying assisted materially in
advancing prices.
The run of provisions rather disguised
the bulls. At the close pork was 1Oc
lower, May lard lie and ribs &c lower.
