KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 12.-Reports

Saturday sacked Cavalrous, less than
ten miles from the city, drove out the
Spanish garrison of 700, burned nearly
half the place, seized a large amount
of supplies, destroyed all they could
not carry off and spiked two fine field
pieces that they could not take away.
These two guns had just been received
by Weyler only last week. They bore
Weyler's name and the inscription, ITO
aid Weylers glorious deeds" The 1e-
tlrlng Cubans defaced the inscription
and placed a placard on it reading
Butchers need only cleavers."
Two hundred wounded soldiers came
into Havana Friday and Saturday. All
information regarding them was re-
fused, and they were hastily sent to
the hospitals.
Advices from Havana today bring
further confirmation of the death of
Maceo. An intimate friend of the late
lnsurgent leader has received a letter
and package from one of the patriot
chleftains. The package contained
Maceo's carbine, which he desired to
be sent to the friend referred to. in

WeyIer Carrying Out the Task He
Set for Himself.

WASHINGTON Jan. 12.-The ad-
vices from Cuba satisfy officials of. the
Spanish legation here that pacification
is progressing rapidly. A cable dis
patch just received from Gen. Weyler
says that the province of Pinar del Rio,
which has been the storm center Of
conflict is pacified. This is regarded
as not only important itself, but as
completely contradictirg a published
statement made by Mr.. Money that
Pinar del Rio WAS not and could not
be pacified. Gen. Weyler, in his dis
patch explicitly refers to and contra
diets this published statement
In this connection it is pointed out
by theSpanish officials that claims were
made that Cacarajicarca, the strate-
gic point of Pinar del Rio could not
be taken without a loss of 10000 Span
ish troops, whereas this point, said to
be impregnable, has passed into the
hands of Gen. Weyler, with only 26
men. This pacification of Pinar del
Rio as reported by Gen. Weyler, marks
an important step in the advance of
the general plan of applying autonomy
to the island. Reports that the prov
inces Of Matanzas and Havana have
been pacified are confinently expected
by the legation.

OLNEY EXPLAINS THE FORCE OF
THE NEW TREATY TO
RUSSIA.
GREAT BRITAIN COMMITTED
By IT'S TERMS TO THE SUPPORT OF
THE MONROE DOC
TRINE.
MATTER OF DEEPEST IMPORTANCE
This the View Expressed by the Lon
don Chronicle I'm Comment
ing on the Statement,

LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Chronicles
Washington correspondent says: Secre-
tary Olney. replying to a question Of
the Russian minister, E. de Kotzebue,
as to whether the arbitration treaty
with England was offensive and defens-
i've, or anything in the nature of an
alliance, said that the question might
be answered yes and no. That in theory
and diplomatic acceptance it is not an
alliance, but that it is an alliance in
support of the Monroe doctrine, which
England recognized by the terms of the
Venezuelan treaty.
IF the arbitration treaty is ratified"
Mr.. Olney said, sit practically means
Great Britain is our ally for the main
tenance and enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine"
The correspondent Of the Chronicle
commenting upon the above, says: "Mr.
Olney recognizes that England is the
more natural ally Of America than
Russia, whose hitherto professed
friendship for the United States is
merely hatred of England. 1t is prob
able that Russia will do her best to
persuade the senate not to ratify the
treaty"
The Chronicle, in an editorial, re-
CARDS the foregoing matter as Of the
deepest Importance, and says that it
desires nothing better than that Rus.
sia should take the course indicated.
''The scales will then fall from Amer
ica's eyes," it concludes.
The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeit-
ung, according to a Berlin dispatch to
the Standard, thinks the European
powers are not likely to follow the
example set by Great Britain and the
United States in the arbitration treaty.
Ordinary diplomacy" it says, will
suffice to settle money disputes, while
territorial questions are of very diff
ferent Importance to Europe than to
England and America, who are sep
arated by the ocean,"

CURRENCY
ELASTICITY.
lNFERiORITY OF OUR OWN AS CON-
PARED WITH SCOTCH AND CANA
DIAN CURRENCY SYSTEMS.

Need For More Money to Move Crops Is
AT Once Supplied In Other Countries
but Not In This-Red Tape, Cost and
Delay In Obtaining Currency Make Our
System Inelastic and Increase Rate of
Interest In August and september-Bet-
ter Banking and Currency Systems Alone
Can Rid Us of the Silver Question.
Secretary of the Treasury Window
said in his treasury report for 1890:
GIN my Judgment TIE gravest defect
in our present financial system is its
lack of elasticity. y X The demand for
money, in this county, is so irregular
that an amount Of circulation which
will be ample during ten months of the
year will frequently prove so deficient
during the other two months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster
The crops of the country have reached
proportions so immense that their move
ment to market, in August and Septem-
Der, annually causes a dangerous alb
sorption of money. The lack of a suffi-
cient supply to meet the increased de-
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
well as upon other business interest. "
How hard and inelastic is our present
unscientiic currency system, or lack of
system, is apparent when a comparison
is made with the currency systems of
other countries. In pamphlet recently
I h,, .
of the Reform club Mr. L. Carroll Root
illustrates the relativ elasticity of 90
different banking systems in l6 different
countries. He says:
1.-THE data secured includes weekly or
monthly statements of the outstanding
circulation of the leading bank currency
systems of the world. The period COW
cred in each case is the two years 1894
and 1895 The method of preparation
of diagrams has been to take the mini
mum circulation of the period as a base
line and to reduce the amounts ON other
dates to percentages of this. In this way
common measure has been secured,
and comparison of one diagram with
another is facilitated. 3"
We reproduce below three of Mr..
Roots diagrams which show in a strik
ing way the great difference in elasticity
of currencies in Scotland, Canada and
the United States.

people and give them advantages over
others, he does not understand equality
under the law.
This is very true. But, in demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to

not Mr.. Bryan advocating the very in
equality under the law which he re-
bukes2 Would not free coinage of silver

lion in this country are very few indeed
Again Mr. Bryan says mo just gov
eminent ought to enable or permit one
citizen to injure another citizen.
True. But would not the government
do this if it enabled one class of citizens
the debtors, TO discharge their obliga-
tions to another class, the creditors, in
dollars worth only half as much as were
the dollars loaned? If the government
were to make wampum or cOnch shells
legal tender for the payment of debt,
would it not enable one class of citizens
to injure another class? And would it
not do the same in depreciating the cur
rency of the country to so cent basis?

UNITED STATES NATIoNAL BANKS
EXCLUSIVE OF BANKS OWN NOTES ON HAND

These diagrams show that in Scotland
there is about 90 per cent more of cur
rency In circulation in November than
in February In Canada there is % per
cent more currency in circulation in Oc-
tober than in May In the United States
there was only per cent change in cir
culation during the two years 1894 and
1895, and the most of this change is &C
counted for not by the changing needs
for currency at different periods of the
year, but by the sales of United States
bonds, which made it convenient for
banks to increase their circulation. Mr..
Root thus explains the changes in Can
ada and ScOtland:
For instance, on comparing the cir
culation of Canada and Scotland, the
first thing noticed is that in Scotland
there are two upward movements, one
eliminating in May and the other IN
November. while in Canada the former
movement is entirely absent and the
