THE TRADE or SPAIN.
Statistics Misleading While Cubnn
War Continues.

WASHINGTON, October 7.-Consul-
General Bowen has reported TO the State
Department on the commercial conditions
in Spain. He says that from the figures,
it would appear that SPANS trade has
not yet been affected by her military
operations in Cuba and the Philippine
Islands. Still, there would be very APP
parent decrease in the total expectations
if the amount OF supplies Of all kinds
sent out to the Spanish troops could De

ended all statistics of SPANS trade, the
Consul says, must be accepted as some
what misleading.
mercial travellers that there Is consider
ably less demand for foreign goods IN
Spain than q year ago, ana that the
trade outlook Is not bright.
United States exports TO Spain consist
chiefly Of cotton, petroleum, ana slaves
in normal times amount TO about SlS,VJ, :
600. but during The present year Will
amount 10 about S14OO,OW only. Inc
Spaniards care little for our agricultural
Implements and machinery our wheat
they consider too fine, and what or IL
they buy they mix with coarser Russian
grades. They consider our bicycles the
best i'm the world, but as they are more
expensive than English, French, and Ger
man makes, fewer are imported.
SPAIN the Consul says, mas hlSn pro-
tectlve tariff, and II operates adversely

Another serious question Is that OF eN-

Probably "a New Spanish Parliament
to lie Elected

MADRID. october 1T is semi-oflcial-
ly announced to-day that Captain-Gene-
raj Weyler will be recalled from Cuba
this month. and that 1t is probable the
Cortes will be dissolved in December
and a new parliament be elected
LIBERAL MAJORITY SOUGHT.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. October 1.-THE
State Department has not yet been Of
ficially informed OF the purpose OF the
Spanish Government TO dissolve the Cor
ties in December, as indicated in Madrid
cablegrams.
1t was expected, however, that IT would
be found necessary for the Cabinet to
go before the country, to secure the
support of a majority for the Liberal
policy toward Cuba, inasmuch as the
present Cortes has a clear Conservative
majority whenever that party's elements
are brought together.
Disappointment is felt at the remote
date set for the converting of the new
Cortes, for IL is presumed that any new
programme for the settlement Of Cuban
affairs must be ratified by the Cortes.
and IL this Is not to meet until next
March, the long delay, n Is feared, will
give rise TO irritation, and perhaps be
beyond the power OF endurance Of the
present administration. 1t is possible.
however, that by a prompt declaration
OF policy toward Cuba, couched in such
terms and made public in such fashion as
to bind the government beyond doubt,
the delay will not be serious in result

quarters Of the Spaniards, govern
ment force has ambushed and captured
a boat having on board 207 boxes of am
munition and has also seized 2i9 boxes

vince Of Habana. Lieutenant Colonel
Allan was wounded during the engage
ment.
Coloel Rotgert, an official dispatch says,
has been engaged with an insurgent
force at Carmen. this province. The
enemy, the Spaniards say. occupied high
positions in the interior of the noun
tains in that vicinity, and in this manner
they explain the fact that Colonel Rot
CERT lost 200 Of his soldiers and two OF
his officers, while many were wounded.
Altogether, the Spaniard5 admit a loss
Of nearly 800 men killed and wounded.

claim that the insurgents left one cap

CUBAN AFFAIRS
LONDON. October S.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times, referring to the
Cabinet Council yesterday Thursday,
says:
'The Cabinet was unanimous I'm the
opinion that the system OF warfare in
Cuba must be completely changed. Spe-
clal attention was drawn TO the deplor-
able condition of the sick and wounded
soldiers now arriving. This aspect of the
case was considered at the direct insti-
CATION of the Queen Regent.
Regarding the finances, although the

sufficient resources may be counted upon,
