Signs of Good Times.

II. G.. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: ''The end of uncertainty re-
garding duties on imports gives greater
confidence alike to those who have OPP
posed and those who have favored the
change. The great strength in stocks,
particularly in those of the granger list,
reflects assurance of heavy crops. The
remarkable rise in wheat, notwithstand-
ing that assurance, is based on heavy
buying for export and belief that foreign
demands will be large. The one retarding
force, the strike of coal miners, has caus-
ed the closing of n few manufacturing
works for want of fuel, but negotiations
for settlement are still pushed with hope"

Dreams of n Repubiic Vanish.


The st. Louis Globe-Democrat has this
from Washington: "An intense desire
for peace characterizes the Cuban situa-
ton. 1t has obtained such a hold in the
insurgent ranks that the movement for
independence seems to be on the verge of
collapse. This is the information that
reaches the State Department. 1t is fully
confirmed by the reports received through
private channels. Insurgent leaders write
in the most discouraging tone Of the pros
poets for independence. Gomez and few
OF his followers are still maintaining
bold front, but they write confdentially
that the spirit of compromise Is growing
SO strong that there is danger Of the in
surgent forces breaking up. The number
surrendering and taking amnesty is larger
than at any previous period In the history
OF the revolution. A letter was received
from one of the foremost Of the native
Cuban generals, in which he describes the
situation as most gloomy. IL 1t were not
for the foreign-born commanders OF in
surgent troops 1t is doubtful IL the insur-
rection would last much longer. The ma
tive Cubans are sick of the war and it's
horrors, and are willing to accept the best
terms they can get. The failure of this
country to recognize belligerency has dis
heartened those who dreamed of a re-
public. The certainty that the admin
istrati0ns efforts at Madrid are to be
directed along the line Of compromise,
with autonomy, has practically ended all
hope at this time of complete severance
of relations with Spain. Feeling that this
is to be the conclusion of the war, the in
surgents are anxious to see 1t realized
with as little additional bloodshed and
misery as possible"

According to the returns published by

their injuries to the bites of cats afflicted
with hydrophobia. These wounds are
considered by the medical officers in at
tendance to present greater degree Of
danger than the bites of mad dogs.
