New York.

to cross the bow of the Hindoo in order
to take the swash channel, but did not
allow room enough to clear.
Although the Hindoo's engines were
reversed at full speed, her stem struck
the Creole anidships ON the port side,
carrying away the davitts The Creole
went to anchor In the lower bay after
the collision, and the Hindoo returned
to quarantine, leaking forward.

between the two forces has become
so strong that they are waging bloody
Warfare. The battle-ground is marsh

have taken place led the police to-day
to take hand.

each other. Many of the bows have
armed themselves with revolvers, guns
and other weapons, while the balance
use stones and clubs. This afternoon

There Is no Government so decidedly

pie at this time as the Spanish This is
because its methods Of management In
Cuba come very near to our own shores.
Whether our Indignation, political or
actual, would be as deep IL Cuba were
5000 miles away, Is an open question,
for much that is said and done In Con-
gress and out Of it savors greatly of poll
tics and wire-pulling, while real sympa-
thy never savors of either.
So, though by letter I have been
asked for an expression Of opinion upon
the Cuban question, I shall not give 1t
Cat any rate not yeti, for the great ones
of the country still feel uncertain Of the
right thing to do. However, II your
readers will allow me, will spend a
short time considering Spain as a ma
ton. It's desperate methods In Cuba
may then be more clearly understood.
To consider an individual carefully, to
weigh his faults and strength. is always
interesting. To do the same thing to a
nation Is always interesting also, but
more complicated. may, therefore, be
in error in my judgments. That I leave

clined l-16c with sales of 200 bales for ex-
port and 231 for spinning.
The speculation today was moderately ac-
tive, but there was more disposition to sell
than to buy and prices declined. The news
was, in the main, of bullish nature, Liv-
erpool was higher. the receipts at the ports
We're light, the exports were fairly large.
the spot markets in this country were gen
orally steady and the Mississippi is still ris-
ing. But weak longs sold out and prices
receded. Some stop-loss orders were re-
ported, which accelerated the decline.
There was some buying at the decline for
outside and southern account, but the de-
mand was small and prices closed at about
the lowest figures OF the day. 1t is believed
by some that with more favorable. weather
the receipts will increase materially.

New York, March 4.-The cotton market
today broke away from the dizziness of the
last fortnight and was quite active, but
the activity was at the expense of values.
Liverpool cabled an advance of one-half
sixty-fourths in that market and prices
here at the opening were one point higher
than last nights closing figures. The re-
ceipts were very light and the market held
steady for time. But the commission
houses had orders to sell and the bears
quickly noticing this, pounded the market
vigorously all day. There were few buy
ers to take care of the offerings and de-
cline of 10 points ensued. May opened at
706, declined to $50. rallied to SIS and closed
at 6.97@6.9S with the tone quiet and steady.
The failure of prices to respond to news
which usually stimulates the market is a
sore disappointment to the bulls and many
of them unoaded today. Unless Liverpool
should break sharply, we think today S
break will prove but temporary.
