The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-04-18

The news from Cuba is conflicting.
Havana dispatches say that the rebellion
is practically at an end; that Gomez has
only about fifty or one hundred followers,
and to watch these only few thousand
men are needed. On the other hand, the
Cuban patriots assert that Spiin's finan-
cial resources are about exhausted, and
that the Spanards are almost ready to
abandon the attempt to restore their au.
thority and acknowledge the independ-
ence of the Cuban republic on the pay
ment of an indemnity by the revolutions
lists. While these reports are propagated
by the respective parties in the present
conflict, the real truth seems to he that
on the whole this year the campaign has
been more favorable to Spain than to the
Cubans; but it is still possible that with
the use of puerillas, the war may be in
definitely prolonged by the revolutionists.

London, April 17.-Mr. Gladstone has
written y letter to the Macedonian leader,
Captain Dampzes, in which he says:
Under the present deplorable scheme
all the British government has the right
to do, seemingly, is to plead its opinions
before a tribunal of two youthful despots,
the emperors of Germany and Russia,
and to abide by their help to execute their
final determinations.

GERMAN SEWING NEEDLES.
They Are Making Great Roadway Against
the Product of Other Countries.

! In recent report to the state depart
ment the consul at Annaberg, Germany,
says:
The enormous growth in the produc-
tion of sewing needles in Germany is
principally due to the lively export trade
TO China, where Germany seems to entire
ly control the market OF the entire ex-
port of needles during the first ten months
OF the current year. which amounted to
1919, 100 Kilograms (2,417, 900 pounds),
more than go per cent-namely, 712, 700
Kilograms Q,596, 900 pounds), valued at
nearly 100000 marks Isl, 800, 000), went
to China.
Here is branch of manufacture which
has hitherto been almost entirely neglected
IN the United States. Perhaps the article
appears to be too insignificant, but the
Germans have succeeded in obtaining i'm
pOrtant results from small causes. Under
the protection of their government they
have built up "a needle industry which
commands the respect of the world. At
nrst they initiated the English methods of
manufacture, but their superior technical
training soon enabled them to discover
the defects of the English machinery, and
they adopted new and improved devices
and followed their own course of manu-
faGsllre. The infant industry of a few
years ago has become one of national i'm.
portance The manufacturers go into the
markets OF the world, preferably into new
countries, and compete successfully every
where. 1t is only "a question of a few
years until German sewing thread will re.

LIBERIA NO PLACE TO LIVE.
THIRTEEN OF THE EMIGRANTS OF
1896 RETURN HOME.
Many Who Left Georgia in the Expe-
ditiOn of That Year Now Dead
From Fever and Star.
VatiOn.

Thirteen colored persons, who form
ed part of the 200 sent to Liberia by the
international Emigration Society in
March 1896, have arrived in New York
aboard the steamship Liberia. They
say that the scheme was a total failure
that many of their number died of
starvation and fevers; that the society
did not fulfill their contract, and many
members of the exposition are strand
ed in England, unable to get back to
their homes.
The plan of the African colonial
tion scheme originated early in 1894 in
the mind of Bishop Turner, who was
travelling in the south. 1t was formu-
lated and carried into effect by Jeremie
MILAN, white man of Birmingham,
Ala, who founded what was known
as the international Emigration So
Ciety.
1t was claimed that the president of
Liberia had promised the cOlOHists
land and farming implements. The
advance guard in charge of u. i. John
son, an intelligent cOlored man of Hot
Springs Ark, in November 1894.
started for Liberia. With him was
committee to make arrangements for
the cOlonists. 1t was estimated ar
that time that there were 600 colored
persons who were ready to join the
colony. They expected to build
town which would soon be in a flourish
ing condition. Each cOlOnist was to
pay Sal for his transportation, and was
expected TO have 5000 in gold with him
to lay the foundation Of his fortune in
the new land.
The first large party of cOlOnists,
numbering 200, left Savannah, Ga, in
March, 1896, for their new home, and
after that several smaller par
ties Joined them. Twenty-Five acres
of land for each adult and ten acres
for each child was promised and every
person was to be provided with bar
rel of -four, two barrels of meat, a
quantity Ofsugar and a complete set of
farming implements,
ID. X. Flammer, president Oh the So
Ciety, accompanied the emigrants.
According to the stories told by those
who have returned, when they landed
in Liberia Flammer deserted them,
taking whatever was provided for them
except the land, which they found
thirty-five miles from any town, and
which was incapable of growing any
thing but coffee. Even the successful
growth of coffee would take four to six
years.

SPAIN Is SATISFIED.
The Only Difficulty ~ With Respect
To the CnrIists

MADRID, November GA member Of
the Spanish Cabinet. in an interview Just
published. says the Government Of Spain
is well satisfied with the results of the
publication OF the decree providing for
an autonomic government in Cuba and
Porto Rico. adding that the manner in
which II has been received in the United
states is favorable TO the Spanish.
The Cabinet Minister is further quoted
as saying that the only difficulty to be
apprehended ia in regard TO the position
which tho Carlists will assume. but the
Spanish Government he explained, does
not believe the country will support Don
Carlos, whose ambitions are condemned
BY the Vatican"
The Minister further said that the plans
Of tile Carlists had failed, for lack Of
money. He denied that General Weyler.
the former Captain-General of Cuba. who
is alleged TO be in sympathy with the
Car.ists, had been summoned to Madrid.
Senior Cos-Gaynor, former Minister, in
an interview is said to have asserted
that the Conservatives will not make any
attempt to place difficulties in the way of
the policy of the liberal government in
regard to Cuba and Porto Rico.
