WOULD AID CUBANS.
General SiCkles Ready to Personally
Dispatch Arms to the Insurgents.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-In an address
on the Cuban question delivered last
night before the Brooklyn Democratic
Club, in Historical Hall, General Daniel
E. Sickles made the announcement that
he was ready to personally take charge
of a consignment of arms for the Gu
ban insurgents. Il will personally dis
patch them" he said. and l will con-
sign them to General Gomez. / will defy
all interference. l Will be ready to ac-
cept all the consequences of my action.
[ make this statement, not in defiance
of law and Of the authorities, but be-
cause I know that such an act would be
perfectly lawful and in line with the
uniform decisions of our courts
During the course of his address Gen
eral Sickles declared that because of
our traditional position of not allowing
any foreign power to interfere with the
Spanish rule of Cuba this country has
assumed the responsibility for what
ever relief shall be given to Cuba from
the oppression and wronS under which
it is now suffering. He insisted that the
United States owes it to civilization to
interfere. He was in favor of recognize
ing the belligerency of insurgents. and
ridiculed the idea that a war with Spain
might result therefrom.

BIG BLAZE AT MARYsvALE.
Incendiary Starts a Fire That Re

Marysvale, Utah, Aug. 6.-Marysvaie has
emerged from what might have been total
humiliation by fire had the wind been
blowing last night
About 1 O'Clock a. m. the blaze sorang
heavenward from the back part of the
roof of the large general merchandise
store of Frank l.. Lyon & Co., and the
town and its surroundings We're !mmedi-
ately aroused by reason of the fact that
there was no water in reach. except what
could be obtained from few wells in the
immediate vicinity. Everyone coming up
on the scene seemed 10 be crazed with
fright, and their heads were gone.
The fire unQuestionably was the work
of an incendiary, and it was well planned
The main store building was about SO feet
long by 2 feet, with shed roof addition
on back about u fee: deep. in which coal
oil and heavy hardware was kept. In the
shed room was where the fire was first
seen, close to a kerosene tank. Your cor
respondent was one of the first upon the
ground and is confident that the fire was
the act of an incendiary. The loss in
stock TO the Lyons store could not have
been much less than $1,000.

New York, Aug. THE Financier
says: The statement of the New York
City banks for the week ending Aug.
z is favorable in every feature, and in
dieative of the better business condi-
tons which prevail, not only at this
center, but over the country generally.
The idle cash was reduced about $4,-
100000 and the surplus reserve, which
IS still in excess of $40, 900, 900 is lower
than at any time since the third weeN
in January. The loss in cash for the
current week was due partly to the
Withdrawals of legal tenders for gold
export purposes, not reflected in the
previous statement. The $40 600, 900
loan negotiated a few days since by
New York City also occasioned some
shifting of funds 1t is important to
note, however, that the banks are not
gaining heavily from the interior move
ment, ana the decline in domestic ex-
change rates still continues. With New
ork funds at a discount the Droba-
blllty of continued shipments becomes
less. The heavy grain movement in
the west and the reviving business
conditions elsewhere must soon make a
demand on balances now maintained
in New York by interior banks, and
the fact that time loan of $1,000, 900
was arranged last week by a well
known house for four months, seems
10 reflect an opinion that rates are
easier now than they will be during
the remainder of the season. The ex-
pansion Of S6,566, 200 in loans as report
ed in the statement is a favorable fea-
ture. 1t would be idle to attribute all
the increase to mercantile demands,
but no less than 81 banks doing di-
Versified business show gains. Three

Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago, Aug. Wheat led the way
to a general decline in prices on the
board of trade today. Foreign markets
failed to respond to the advance in
wheat yesterday. and the cash sales
were very moderate.
Liverpool quotations for futures of
wheat were from cd for September to
SD for December lower than they
closed closed the day before. That was
the reason for a decline here of lie per
bushel to begin with. September,
which was bringing IT'S as the session
ended yesterday. started with sellers
at from 76s@7614. Trade was light.
Those who made handsome profit on
the advance are not disposed to risk
any of il by buying again this side of
a sc or &c decline. A moderate amount
of short selling was evident on the first
bulge to 1873, and grew in proportions
as the session progressed. Chicago re-
ceipts were 125 cars. of which Is were
new spring wheat. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 1873 carloads
against 427 a week go, and PA the cor
responding day of the year before. The
amount inspected out of store was
265, 600 bushels. Chicago receipts for
the week were 10000 bushels, and the
shipments sos, 1926 bushels. The weeks
