another white, and the third black.
To add to the interest of the scene,

As the advance division of the Cuban
army, under Gen Rodriguez, is holding the
country and the railway communica tions
between Havana and Matanzas, weyler
cannot pass between the one and the other
without going by sea, and he is such an
abject coward that he never da res DO this

zas now looking into the situation, from
a safe distance Matters are as bad in
MatanZas as at Havana. The surrounding
CtuntTN and the suburbs Of the city are in
possession of the patriots, and there
is constant fear of an assault. The oondi-
tion Of affairs in the Capital is as bad, or
worse. The outskirts are contin inually raid
ed, and stores looted. The Cuhans grow
bolder as their lines extend, connect, and
are strengthened by the gathering Of the
armies in the rear. 1t IL evident that Gen
Gomez is preparing for large movement
of some kind, but whether its objective is
Havana. Matanzas or another place, no
body is able to guess. Weyler appears TO
regard Matanzas as the point most di-
rectIy threatened, and is taking his meas
ures accordingly.

Advices from Louisville give rather sar-
prising est iInates of the condition OF the
Kentucky tobacco crop, which, 1t is said
promises a shortage of sO,0OO,0Oo pounds
compared with the crop OF 1895. Owing 10
low prices in recent years, many farmers
have abandoned the culture, and the area
planted is only about 65 per cent of the
's5 acreage. Recent crops have been:
1884, 1as.76e ,2oe pounds; 1898, 229.-
g72 ,zs2 pounds, and, 1896, 150,527.11l
mounds. The last crop was the smallest
on record in twelve years, that Of 1887
excepted. The stocks on hand in West
ern markets are stated at 65,S6s hogs
heads, with enough more on the seaboard
and in Europe To bring the supply on July
L up TO 235,63O hogsheads. This is
about the equivalent Of one ordinary Ken
tucky crop. and about half the normal
American crop. Shortage and higher prices,
therefore, would seem TO be in sight.

There is one thing significant In the
Japanese position in connection with the
proposed arbitration between that govern
ment and Hawaii. The japanese are re-
ported as cOntending that the United States
ought TO become q patty TO the proceed
ings, to the modest extent OF agreeing
IN advance TO whatever decreesa European
tribunal may choose TO issue. That would
be rather a neat thing for japan, but not
by any means as nice for US. But, TO some
extent, Japan is right. II is both our
privilege and duty to say TO the con testants
m the case: Go to work and arbitrate, al
ways remembering that arbitration must
he subject TO the paramount and protec-
torate rights OF the United States in la waii,
and open to our veto.
