MADRID January 1.-The semi-oiiicial
newspapers defend the action Of the gov
eminent in Selling the issue of the
Heraldo and impartial. upon the ground
that the articles published by those
papers denouncing the policy Of Captain
General Weyler in Cuba had a tendency
to create discomfort among the troops in
Cuba. and TO encourage American fill
busters The government will not permit
the Objectionable articles to be trans
mitted by telegraph.
Public opinion is greatly excited over
reports that the Spanish troops in Cuba
are compelled 10 undergo extreme hard
ships through hunger and nakedness, and
that those who are confined i'm the hos
pitfalls by Illness or because Of wounds
are suffering from neglect and an in

STEEL BILLET POOL.
Plan for Its RehabiIitntiOn-COn
frafion of Production.

tratiOn of Production.
PITTSBURG, PA, January 1.-The spe-
cial committee appointed az the last
meeting Of the American Bessemer Asso-
citation to figure out plan by which the
defunct pool may again be placed on it's
feet as the great dictator of prices in the
iron and steel world has completed frs
report. which will be presented at meet
ing of the members TO be held Monday
next. probably in Pittsburg but possibly
I'm New York. The identity Of the COM
mittee is not known. The report prepared
by them Will, however, astonish the iron
and steel world beyond doubt. The plan is
that the larger concerns viii buy up the
allotment of the older and smaller mills,
and pay the owners to turn the keys i'm
the doors. and practically retire from the
bulet-manufacturing business. with the
exception of pocketing the dividends that
they will receive from the concerns that
will then make billets for the whole cOun-
try. I'm this respect the billet-pool will
emulate the methods of the nail-pool but
with more hope Of success. The consum-
nation Of the project means that The trade
i'm biuets and finished products would be
confined TO the larger producers, or
concentration Of production placed I'm the
hands Of q few large firms, who will then
control production, set the price, and
share with the idle mill-Owners.

OF ore a loss OF over $500 was sustained,

Phoenix Mining Company produced c5Z
