CUBAN CRITICISM.
La Luchs Makes Allusion TO American
Congressional JinEoes.

HAVANA, Jan. 30.-Consul General Lee
yesterday made an official visit to the jail.
While there he saw DR.. Casper Betan-
court. the dentist, accused of complioity
in the insurreotion and four other Ameri.
can citizens, awaiting hearing before
the local courts.
La Lucha, sditorially commenting upon
tho reforms planned by Spain for Cuba,
says: Whether those reforms are accepted
by the rebel bushmen or not they cannot
fail to have q great moral effect upon
Europe, and the policy adopted by the
Spanish government will strengthen the
executive at Washington, no matter
whether Cleveland or Mckinley, against
senatorial and congressional jingoes."
The concensus of opinion on the part Of
the newspapers here Is that the proposed
autonomy measure Is masterly diplo.
matte stroke on the part of Canovas del
Castillo, the Spanish premier, and that II
is calculated to avert a possible conflict
between Spain, and possibly other Euro.
pean countries, and the United States.
The Daily Commercial publishes violent
attack upon the Madrid impartial and
other Spanish papers, because Of the re-
cent criticisms directed by those journals
against Captain General Weyler, and the
methods which he has adopted in carry
ing on the campaign. Captain General
Weyier has reached Las Cruces, province
Of Santa Clara

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Reports Of the Mercantile Agencies Show
No Improvement in Trade.

No Improvement in Trade.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8O.-Dun's review Of
trade says: January has been month Of
disappointment Nearly everybody had
promised himself land of milk and
honey after New Years, and the slow pro-
gress looks like standing still to mon in
such frame of mind. Prices fail as yet
to brnA them profit. The decline in
wheat wins over six cents in spite of an Off.
cial report of yield far below estimates.
When two bushels Of corn can be had for
less than one bushel of wheat 1t is largely
preferred in European markets, and in
January 7s59,127 bushels of corn have
gone abroad from Atlantic ports, against
6,3O5, $40 last year
The iron and steel manufacture shows
little gain, production having increased
and the gradual enlargement of demand
for finished has not overtaken that in
crease. Lower prices result for bessemeI
pig, grey forge and for southern iron al
Chicago; for angles and for cut nails
and the average of all quotations is the
lowest since early last year.
Failures for the week have been 391 in
the United States, against 4Oi last year,
and 81 in Canada, against 70 last year.
Bradstreets' says: There has been a fall
ing off in general trade owing to the heavy
fall of snow and cold weather. There is a
moderate increase in distribution of heavy
winter goods, but buyers are even more
conservative than earlier In the month,
and wholesale trading in January, except
in lines specified, is smaller than for years
Mercantile collections are interrupted,
and the improvement looked for in iron
and steel is not in sight. The most favor
able feature of the business week is the
sudden and sharp falling off in the total
number of business failures in the United

Boy Killed in a University Row,

ATHENS, Jan. 30.--Trouble has been
brewing at the university for several days
past owing to a quarrel between the stu.
dents and Professor GalvanL. The stu.
dents finally took possession of the prem.
ises. 1t was estimated that fully 800 stu.
dents were within the walls of the uni
verslty. Those within the buildings were
allowed to leave at any time but admls-
sion was absolutely refused by the troops.
A demonstration by the students who re.
mained on the streets was accordingly
planned. The police and the troops re-
sisted the student mob and the authori.
ties finally ordered firearms discharged In
the air. The ytudents returned the fire,
In the main using rovolyers. During tho
alterations boy was killed and several
other persons wounded.

Ago-No One Was Injured.
PORTLAND Ore, Jan. 30 The north.
bound overland train which left San Fran
cisco "Wednesday and due here yesterday
was held up two miles west Of Roseburg,
Ore, early in the morning, AS soon as pos
sible after the holdup began the fireman,
Hendricks Of the train crew. slipped out
OF the engine and ran on to Roseburg and
gave the alarm Arming him self he started
back to the scene Of the trouble Superin'
tendent Field, of the Southern Pacific
road, who was at Roseburg, quickly took
posse of men and an engine and started
for the scene.
Heavy explosions of dynamite or powder
were distinctly heard at Roseburg. Dur.
ing the progress OF the holdup the light OF
either fire or torch was seen. Fireman
Hendricks stated that the train was first
tagged by the highwsymen. The express
car was then looted and burned and the
safe blown open. No one was hurt and
the highwaymen succeeded in making
their escape.
Postal Inspector Thrall comments on
its similarity to that when the same train
was held up on the night OF July /, 1895.
thirty miles south of the scene Of this
affair On that occasion the robbers ope-
rated in the same manner In order to stop
the train, and Thrall believes the same
parties are responsible for both holdups
Five men were concerned in the first rob-
berry and two mon were arrested for their
participation in it.
They were John Case and John Pool.
After trial in the United States district
court of Portland the jury found them
guilty. A new trial was demanded and
Judge Sellinger granted new trial,
stating that in his opinion there was not
sufficient evidence to convict. AS the
postal officials had no further evidence
the cases were dismissed Case and Pool
have since been indicted by the state
court, but have not been arrested,
The Southern Pacific train which was
held up near Roseburg arrived here last
night, Charles Piper, the postal clerk in
charge Of tho mail car said Two men
did all the work of holding up the train,
but think there were five in the gang.
They exploded dynamite bombs In the ex-
press car and half dozen on the outside.
When the express car took fire | realized
that my car, which was next to the ex-
press, was in danger One Of the robbers
drew his revolver on me while he went
through the mail. Tho express car was
soon a mass of flames and set about to
save my car If possible by carrying water
from pond near at hand. The entire end
of the mail car was burned out"

Threatened Strike of Glassworkers

PITTsBURG, Jan. 30-A strike of win.
dow glassworkors in this city is threat
ened. Yesterday President Burns was
elected from McKee's factory for endeav.
oring to have the men strike because OF
the refusal of the firm to deduct 10 per
cont. of their wages for credit certificates
Mr.. Burns claims the refusals to make
the deductions is violation of the wage
scale, and, If persisted in by the manu-.
facturers, general strike will be ordered.
These certificates were given by the men
for money advanced to them by the asso.
citation during idleness. He says he is
being backed by kilograms from all over
the country asking him to maintain his
position In the matter, as well as the
dignity of the association.
