TALK ABOUT FINANCES.
Cabinet Devoted Most of Its SEES
sion to Departmental
Estimates,

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-The cabi-
net was in session for two hours today.
Most of the time was devoted to a discus
sion of the financial operations of the
government. This included both receipts
and expenditures. The latter were the
especial object Of consideration, as il is
the wish of the administration to keep
the expenditures from exceeding the re-
ceipts. The different heads of depart
ments and efforts are being made
to have reductions made wherever posi-
bic In both the war and navy depart
ments there is pressure for larger ex-
penditures for coast defenses, rivers AID
harbors and for increase of the navy.
The recommendations of bureau officers
in these departments have been scanned
very closely and reductions will be made
if found compatible with the public in
terest. In the other departments there
is 10 urgent demand for increases. Va
rious other departmental matters were
brought before the cabinet and several
members remained after the meeting 20
consider them with the President.

THE FALL OF LA TUNAS.
One of the Biggest Victories and
Bloodest Contests in Gu
ban Revolution.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. ia letter
has been received from Fred Funston,
son of ewCongressman Funston of Kan
sas, lieutenant in the Cuban army,
giving a graphic description of the cap
ture of Las Tunas, in which he took
conspicuous part. Col. Funston writes:
I'VE have just won the biggest victory
of this revolution by capturing the, city
of Las TunaS, with it's tWenty-One forts,
with entire garrison and armament. Inc
fight lasted three days and two nights
nnd was a fearfully bloody affair. On
the night of the 9th we threw up en-
trenchments on the north side Of the
town, the nearest fort being 400 yards
distant, and placed therein four breech-
loading field guns and a Slm-Dudley
pneumatic dynamite gun. The pneumat-
ic dynamite gun did wonders, wrecklng
the cavalry headquarters in two shots
and blowing the top off Fort Conception.
cat 10 a. m. on the 2Sth, Lieut.-Col.
Calixto Enamorado, with a few men, car
ried the works by assault, losing one
third of his men by the fire Of adjoining
forts. AT II o'clock came the grand
feature of the siege. Chief of Staff
Menocal ordered the bugle to sound the
charge. Hardly had the notes died away
before Enamorado, with 200 men, left
the shelter of the hill crest and started
for the fort. Many men fell, but on they
pushed until checked by a tangle of
barbed wire fence, where, in the open,
they held their position, firing at the
Spanish in the trenches of the fort, until
Lieut.-Col. Carlos Garcia, son of the gen
eral led up 80 men to his support. Then
there was wild rush for the fort. The
men cut the barbed wire with their
machetes, and Lieut.-Col. Garcia, with
the Cuban flag in one hand and sword in
the other, leaped the moat, the men fol-
lowing. 1t was like the battles of the
story books and it was worth years of
humdrum life to see it. All was over
in a moment, and when the hated red and
yellow flag gave way to the Cuban ban
ner we were in the Entertainments only
400 yards away, cheering ourselves
hoarse.
THE morning of the 30th saw the end
at hand. After an hours bombardment
the flag of truce was sent from the in
fantry. Quartet and the plucky COM
mander having been killed, his men sur
rendered and the fight was over, but at
fearful cost, one-third of the Cubans
having fallen. The Spaniards had
fought as heroes, losing 40 per cent. of
the garrison in the defense. We cap
tured twenty-one forts, 1850 rifles and
100000 rounds of ammunition, two
Krupp cannon and trainload of pro-
visions"

UNITED STATES is SUPREME.
Cities Better Not Try to Stop Carrying of
Mail on Street Cars.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-Should
the city authorities in Chicago undertake
to stop the carrying of mails on the street
cars they may find themselves in conflict
with the entire power of the United
States and their police may be confront
ed by soldiers
No official information has reached the
postoffice department regarding the de-
cision of the corporation counsel of Chi
cage that the carrying of mails was a
violation of the street railway charters,
hut the officials are very much interested
in the case, and are awaiting develop
mentS.
The department will deal only with the
street railway companies with which it
has contracts. 1t is III no way concerned
with any question that may arise be-
tween the companies and the city.
There is no question as to the right
of the government TO send mails over any
highway in the United States, and while
it cannot compel any transportation COM

authority for the protection of any COM
pany which may undertake to transport

W. C. T. US STANDARD.
Has Not Been Lowered, NotWith-
standing Assertions by Lady
Henry Somerset.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 16-The following
of Lady Henry Somerset, has been
mailed to the leaders of the w. c. L. T.:
To Our White Ribbon Sisters: The an
nual address of the president at Toronto
and Buffalo and the resolutions adopted by
the conventions will show beyond all con-
troversy that neither in respect to total adj
stinence prohibition or legal regulation of
est particular lowered its standard. AS
these conventions are so soon to assemble lt
has been thought best to let their current
and authoritative declara tons OF principle
and method go forth to the public rather
than the statements of officers and indiyld-
ualS.
The Union Signal published a brief state
ment of the situation in England as soon as
possible after Miss Stacks arrival, and by
it's commentary showed that 1t disagreed
with Lady Henry SomerSet'S view. But it
did not forget that she is a comrade, be-
loved and honOred. whose devotion, ceaselesS
work and remarkable abilities have been OF
at heart and one who is entitled to the ten
dereSt consideration of us all. That she
will receive this consideration from the
great body of our thoughtful and self-re-
speeding White Ribboners are persuaded.
1t seems to US that as there is no need to
fear any lowering of the standards always
maintained by the w. G. L. T., it will be the
better part of wisdom to await the authOri-
tative utteranceS of the great conventions
so soon TO meet. Lady Henry Somerset is far
from well, and we would not, we are sure
add to her anXietieS and cares.
Be it our part evermore, with malice to-
wards none with charity to all, to hold
the light up higher, higher"

LIVE WEEK IN STOCKS.
Extensive LiQuioa alton to Stop
Losses-Bulls will be at it
Again Soon.

New York, Oct. 16.-The week in the
stock market has been one of successive
raids by the bears and extensive liquida-
ton of long holding to stop losses on the
declining market. The bear contingent
made their attack with the knowledge of
extensive selling orders placed in the
market az various points below the level
of prices. They have greater success in
uncoyering the stop-loss orders and III
wiping out the margins on specula tive
holdings of stocks than at any time dur
ing the current decline.
Many holders who had, up to this
week held on in the confidence that the
market would make an early turn up
wards, have grown discouraged and
thrown over their holdings. Commits
sion houses have executed large commits
sions house orders, showing the DISPOSE
ton of outside holders to iquidate.
The powerful interests whose buying
carried prices to the high level and who
Hquidated their holdings at that level,
have watched the decline with equanimi-
ty. 1t is believed that they are only
waiting for the reaction to run its course
in order to try again at the low level.
There has been no evidence that they
have yet commenced buying again.
The bears have had several factors of
more or less Importance to aid them in
their war on prices. The semi-official
outline of SPANS reply to the request of
the United States minister, Woodford,
that the probable duration of the Cuban
war should be indicated, declining to set
a date, was one factor.
The slump in Chicago Gas on the

THE BRITISH CABINET.
IMPORTANT FOREIGN AFFAIRS
ARE DISCUSSED.
Quite Certain that Indian MINIS will Not
be Opened-NO Monetary
Conference.

London, Oct. 16-The British cabinet
this morning held its first autumn meet
ing at the foreign office. The premier,
Lord Salisbury, presided and all the min
listers with the exception Of Lord James,
the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster;
Viscount Cross, lord of the privy seal,
and Walter Long, the president of the
board of agriculture, were in attendance
The meeting lasted two hours. 1t is
understood that the question of reopenlng
the Indian minis for the coinage of sill
yer was not decided, but, it is added, the
matter was discussed and will shortly
form the subject of further communica-
tons between the chancellor of the eX-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, and
the United States monetary commission.
In addition to discussing the silver
question, it is understood that the cabi-
net ministers were in deliberation upon
the Anglo-Frcnch stua ton in West At
RIGA and in reviewing the Cretan ar
engagements.
In spite of the sta tement that the ques-
ton of the reopening of the Indian minis
for the coinage Of silver will form the
subject of further communications be-
tween the chancellor of the exchequer
and the United States monetary commits
sion, it is believed that the British gov
eminent has reached the decision not to
enter into an international monetary con
ference. Further meetings with the
American commissioners will be held
simply because they were previously ar
ranged, as cabled last week.
In regard to India, it may be regarded
as certain that the minis will not be re-
opened at present, or until the Indian au-
thorities are fully prepared, and though
the decision rests with Downing street,
it is certain that the views of the Simla
will prevail and it is known that the
Indian authorities oppose the step.

WOODFORD'S INSTRUCTIONS.
Spain Warned that Action Must be TakeI
Befora ConRress Meets.

New York, Oct 15.-The Herald pub
fishes the following, based on high au-
thorty, which it claims is substantially
the instructions issued by President Ne
Kinley to Minister Woodford to the
Spanish Queen:
''None but the most kindly relations OK
ist between the present administration
and Spain, and so far as lies In the power
of the administration, they will continue:
The bclligerency resolution which passed
the Senate and the last session of Con-
gress merely bore evidence of the 'te-
mendous popular feeling throughout this
country in favor of Cuba. The House,
to be sure. voted down the resolutions
passed by the Senate This was wlth a
view TO postponing the issue and net
doing anything for the moment that
could be construed as hostile to Spain.
The House, like the Senate, is strong :
in sympathy with Cuba. This feeling Of
sympathy throughout the United States
will undoubtedly take shape as soon as
Congress convenes, and 1t will be nec2S-
sary for the President to communicate 10
Congress such recommendations as he
deems best to make in regard to Cub IN
affairs. Under these circumstances tho
government Of the United States tenders
its best offices to mediate SO as to bring
war to an end on such terms as Will be
honorable to both parties. This govern
ment expresses the hope that Spain VII
reply by the end of October, SO as to give
the President a chance to report to Goa
gresS by the time it cOnyenes.
The sIerald also publishes the follow
ing, which, it claims, details the lea
circumstances which led to the downfall
of the old cabinet:
NEARLY all of the Spanish bonds have
been fioated in France and the recent
loans were placed there, but the latest
aDplication for further loans have not
been favorably responded to. The Bank
of Spain declined to make further adj
vances to the government several weeks
ago, and the cabinet thereupOn removed
the governor of the bank. The recently
appointed governor of the bank then
tried to force the banks committee or
board of directors to grant the applica-
ton of the government for additional
loans, but his efforts failed. This was
followed by the determination Of the cab
met to take steps to reduce the interest
rate on the government bonds from 6 to
5 per cent, to 3 and 2la per cent. respect
lively.
'Immediately the cabinet was deluged
with protests. Some of these objections
came from persons high in authority and
in a position to dictate terms to Spain.
The combined weight Of conservative in
fiuence in Spain which embraced as in
dictated the bulk of the holders Of Span
ish bonds, whose interest would be cut
in two, Immediately answered this propo-
sition with the suggestion that it would
be far better to stop all war expenses
than to adopt such a radical course.
The Queen yielded to this and the result
was the resignation of the old cabinet
and the calling upon Sagasta to form
