M'DONNELL'S STORY.
He Was Contemptuously Treated by Gen.
Weyler, in Havana.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Representative
Stallings of Alabama will accompany
Henry w. Mcdonnell of Point Clear,
Ala, who is part owner of large plan
tatiOn near Havana, to the state depart
ment on Monday and aid him in the pre-
sentation of his claim for damages
against Spain for the destruction of his
plantation in Cuba. Mr.. Mcdonnell, who
is minister, arrived here yesterday from
Havana, where he says he was con-
temptuously treated by Gen. Weyler, and
his claimed of American cltlzenship
spurned He went there early in FEB
ruary to look after his property interests.
and found the plantation in ruins and
the machinery gone or destroyed. On his
return to Havana, he gave vent to his
feelings in frank American fashion,; he
says he was arrested and brought before.
Weyler. When he displayed his pass
pOrs and demanded his release Gen.
Weyler took the paper and thrust 1t con-
temptuously aside. saying It was useless
in Havana. Mr.. Mcdonnell says Gen.
Weyler did not, as represented, stamp
the document under foot, nor did the in
cident occur in the presence of Gen. Lee.
Subsequently, at the request of General
Lee, Mr.. Mcdonnell was released, and
he forthwith FASTENED to this city, Mr..
Stallings says his constituent is a min
lister of the gospel and entitled to absolute
credence. SO far as he knows, however,
Mr.. Mcdonnell does not contemplate the
filing of claim for damages for his tenn
pOrary arrest, but only for property de-
strOyed.

LONDON FINANCES

London, Feb 2S.-During the last week
the money market was decidedly better,
frmer prices ruling. But this was likely
to be only temporary. A renewed pc
Rod of cheapness is expected. A pros
pect of an almost peaceful settlement
of the Cretan troubles on conditions sat
isfactOry to the great powers and the
Greeks gave generally better tone to
the market. But business on the Stock
Exchange continues still on the smallest
scale. The weakest market has been
that for African securities. This is
the result of fear that troubles may de-
velop in the Transvaal as the result of
the attitude taken by Mr. Chamberlain,
the secretary of state for the colonies,
and Cecil Rhodes before the South Afri-
can commission. The downward move
ment will continue, unless favorable de-
velOpments in that quarter check it.
Home railways were fat at the be-
ginning of the week, but closed decidedly
better on prospects of the settlement of
the Northwestern Railway strike. Nat
uraly Greek and Spanish securities were
lower as the result of political disturb
ances in Greek and Cuba. Other foreign
securities for the most part showed a
rise during the week of from l to 1 IL.
South Americans and Australians were
also lower. Americans were only trlfie
more active, but the prospect of more
business and better prices is good. The
list shows a rise in Lake Shore of A;
Milwaukee, 1; Louisville, IA; Illinois
Missouri, Northern Pacific preferred, L;
others fractional. .p1.

MANCHESTER MARKET

ther improvement American yarns
We're 1-Sd dearer, and Egyptian lid.
There was large business in the home
trade. There were large consignments
to China and Japan in cloth. The Indian
demand was favorable feature China is
daily in the market, and Japan is taking
moderate lines. Egypt also is a fair buy
er. South America is quiet, though reg

much improved although cloth margins
are poor. The conferences regarding the

jOurned without definite results, but the
