Sugar Trust Would Buy Cuban Island
From Spain.

Sugar Trust Would Buy Cuban Island
From Spain.
New York, June pa dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: A
story is current that the sugar trust has
evolved or accepted an ambitious sug-
gestion that Cuba is substantially for
sale, and might as we'll become sugar
plantation for a gigantic corporation
supported by the sympathy and interest
of our country. In other words, that
we might have West Indian Com
pany, as England had, and Hudson
Bay Company, each of which aided in
the extension Of British empire.
1t is said the Spanish minister to the
United States cabled recently to Madrid
reports Of the disposition of our gov
eminent to decline to interfere by
force and also to support Cuban auton-
omy. and that this cable prevented the
recall of Weyler, when a change in the
Spanish ministry was in the air, and
prevented sending to Cuba Campos,
who, having closed the ten years. war
with cash in hand, might do the same
job now by the same means much
cheaper than Spain can keep 200, 900
soldiers in the field.
Colonel j. J. Cook is the gentleman
credited with the Imagination to con-
ceive the capture of Cuba with cash as
measure of peace.

In the House of Commons.

London, June 23.-The house of
comomns was crowded yesterday, when
the first lord of the treasury, Mr.. Bal
four, moved, and Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, liberal leader, seconded, an
address of congratulation to the queen.
Dillon. chairman of the Irish parlia-
mentary party, protested.
John Redmond, a Parnellite leader,
amid laughter from the conservatives
ard unionists, moved an amendment to
IT, address, and caused an animated
scene. Redmond protested against
Great Britain's rule in Ireland, and
asked that house to adopt an amendment
to the effect that it deemed it duty to
place on record that during the 60 years
of her majesty's reign Ireland had suf-
fered grievously from famine, depopu-
lation, poverty and continued suspen-
sion of constitutional liberties, with
the result that the Irish are discon-
tented and are unable to join in the
celebrat ion.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins . Compsny's Review
Of Trade.


Downing, Hopkins . Compsny's Review
Of Trade.
There were q number Of considera-
tions in the wheat market to unsettie
the ideas of traders. The uneaslnese
over the July deal on account OF the
small stocks has been one of the factors.
It was started by the discovery that
trades in July would not settle with
one Of the prominent elevator concerns.
and the conclusion was at once reached
that this concern had bought enough
July wheat to develop an interesting
situation with local contract stocks OF
wheat SO abnormally low. Not only
are local stocks and the American vlsl-
BILE away below last years level, but
the recent decreases have each week
been greater than expected. On account
of the good cash trade the local out
inspection has been heavy, and each
week a large percentage Of the local
stock is moved out. The position taken
by the board of trade directory on the
elevator question was inclined to add
to the uneasiness regarding the POSI-
bility of July squeeze.
Among the minor considerations
have been the changes in the weather,
the reports of locusts in the North
west, the good spring wheat flour trade.
In general way the market has been
unsettled and easily Influenced in either
direction by a comparatively small
volume of trade.

On San Nicholas Island.

Long Beach, CAL, June 23.-After
nearly three weeks sojourn on the
barren island of San Nicholas, a party
of relic-hunters reached Long Beach
today, loaded with skeletons, skulls and
ancient implements and ornaments of
stone and shells, the remains of pre-
historic tribes.
The party found 81 skulls buried in
the sand of the island, but were only
able to secure three entire. They made
one excavation 20 feet square in which
they found nine skeletons in crouch
ing attitude, as though men, women
and children had been buried alive. In
another place they found the remains
of hundreds of bodies that had been
burned.
Evidence was found that the island
was inhabited by two or more different
races. one of which was of great size, a
peculiar characteristic being gigantic
jawbones.

A new flying machine. similar in
principle to that of Lilienthal, has been
devised by Herr Arthur Stencil of AL
tona, Germany, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. 1t has parabolic wings
in imitation of birds wings, is driven
by the power of compressed carbonic
acid, and has been made to Ego" when
attached for safety to a guiding cable.
With a force of one horse power it
has advanced three meters at each beat
ing of the wings, Of which there are
one and three-tenths per second. With
a horsepower and half the machine
may be, made to fly free from the cable.
The wings are remarkably elastic, and
the inventor thinks that this is one of
the factors of his success. They are
made of unsoldered steel tubes and
bamboo, and are covered with a spe-
cially prepared india-rubber cloth. The
apparatus is directed by rudder which
is not unlike birds tail. AS vet no
passengers have been carried on the ma
chine.

A New PrOiectile.


If Colonel William N. Bells new
projectile performs what its inventor
claims, namely that it can be dis
charged from smooth-bore gun with
as great a velocity as any projectile now
discharged from rif1ed cannon, it will
revolutionize gunnery. Colonel Bell
not only claims this for it, but claims
also that it will neither wabble nor
tumble in the course of it's flight. This
projectile. says the New York Herald,
seems to be the cheapest, surest and
most accurate by far of all yet invented,
and is fired more easily and more accu-
rately and with far greater economy of
power and cost from the old-fashioned
81, 900 smoothbore of the sixties than
from the magnificently expensive rif1ed
wonder of today. What this will mean
In case the government tests soon to be
undertaken prove the accuracy of the
original tests may be gathered from the
fact that 100000 worth of the old
Smoothbores of Rebellion time is lying
loose around the United States-so
much old iron and nothing more. 1t
will be wonderful saving if these can
yet be utilized.

The directors Of the Hanover (0er-
many tramway system have published
an important report, in which they mar
rate their experiences with accumulat-
ors as the source Of the power for their
cars. In Hanover both overhead wires
and aocumulators have been used for q
considerable time, SO that the managers
are in position to institute reliable
comparison. Taking everything into
account, they pronounce in favor of the
storage cell. The cost of maintenance
they say has been determined with the
utmost exactitude possible for the year
1896, and the managers reach the con-
clusion that the additional cost of &C.
cumulators does not exceed one gros-
chen, or q Of a cent per mile. Conse-
quently, it has been decided that the
entire system shall, as soon as the re-
quisite arrangements can be made, be
driven by secondary batteries.

Effect of the Raw on Air.

At recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety of Edinburgh, Lord Kelvin read a
communication on "The Electrifcation
of Air by Roentgen Rays" the out
come, he said, of some experiments
which had occupied his attention for
some months. The primary object of
these investigations, of theoretical
value only, was to ascertain the action of
Roentgen rays upon electrified air; that
is, to see whether the rays had any
electrifying effect on the air. In every
case the experiments showed that air
which had not been previously electri-
fed was negatively electrified, and air
that was positively electrified having
been submitted to the action of X-rays
was found to be either not electrified at
all or slightly negatively electrified.
Thus it will be seen that X-rays have a
decided electrifying action, positively
electrified air losing its positive charge,
and sometimes acquiring instead neg
alive charge.

THE PREMIER DENOUNCED.
Spanish Manifesto Demands That the
Cuban Reign of Terror Cease

Spanish Manifesto Demands That the
Cuban Reign of Terror Cease
London, June 23.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says: The
Spanish liberals have adopted an atti-
tude, which will probably create pro-
found sensation. both here and in the
United States, but which is little cal
culated to improve the situation. At
a meeting of ex-ministers of the liberal
party on Sunday Senior Sagasta made
an energetic speech, denouncing the
home and foreign policy of the premier
and his conduct during the recent crisis,
which Sagasta insisted had led the peo-
pie to criticise the decision of the crown.
The meeting resolved to issue man
ifesto, declaring that the liberals would
persist in abstaining from all relations
with the government, SO long as the
Duke of Tetuan is retained in the cab
met. The manifesto will also assert
that the liberals were the authors OF
the first colonial reform scheme in 1894,
but curtailed it in 1895 in order to OBJ
tain the support of the conservatives.
The manifesto will characterize the
proposed reforms of Canovas as made
quate and suggest the replacement OF
Captain General Weyler by governor
who will continue the war in accord
ance with civilized practices, the stop
ping of the reign of terror and devasta-
ton of property in Cuba, and the APP
pointment of civilian as royal COM
missioner, with full powers distinct
from the military authorities, to exc
cute reforms of the widest autonomy in
political, administrative, economical,
tariff and legislative matters, compati-
BILE with the preservation of the i'm
perial sovereignty.
The manifesto will promise to 60 very
far in the direction of sacrifice OF
Spanish commercial interests, and OF
sharing the burden of colonial war
debts in order to secure peace.
