complain, That He IL Neglected by tho
Cuban Junta.
NEW YORK, Jan. lS.-The World
prints an interview with General Ruis
obtained in field near Cameo,
near Pinar del Rio. In this interview
General Rivera says: '. /r.".~
~ do not wish to criticise our friends
in the United States, for ! believe
them reference to to the junta) patri'
otto men, and striving to do their best
for Cuba, but we here in Pinar del Rio
have been somewhat neglected.
%"Great reliance was placed upon
General Maceo, our beloved com.
mander, and it was thought that he
could not only defeat the enemy in the
province, but finally make q juncture
with Gomez. But he knows, and our
friends should have known also, that
four or five, or ten thousand men,
poorly armed and most of the time
with but scanty ammunition, could not
prevail against $4,000 we'll armed and
we'll fed troops. One Or two small ex'
petitions landed-one at Corrientes
bay-but otherwise for nine months we
have been depending upon our strategy
and knowledge of the province to keep
us out of pitched battle"

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features ot :he Days Dealings In All
the teasins STACKS.

New York, Dec. 22.-There was nothing
in today's stock market to refute the
opinion generally held in Wall street that
speculation in securities will continue dull
until after the first of the year and the
release of some of the funds at present
locked uD in large financial operations.
Sagging prices are generally the accom-
paniment of such a market but there was
sufficient strength in special stocks due
to special causes. today, to act as a SuS-
tanning force on the general list and net
gains are the rule in consequence.
The marked features in the trading and
the centers of greatest strength were the
local traction companies. Manhattan rose
three points but lost a fraction. The
Coalers We're also aggreSsivcly strong and
showed gains of between one and two
points. the Reading issues being especially
prominent. The Industrial specialtieS
general Y showed net gains of quite a large
fraction. The statements of estimated
earnings for the last quarter of the year
of the several Vanderbilt railroads were
viewed unfavorably and acted as some
thing of drag on the railroad list.
Cali loans were made at rates ranging
between 8 and per cent. and there was
further decline in exchange, posted
rates for both long and short sterling be-
ing marked down y and actual business
being done at a decline of Il for cable
transfers and long sterling and of Is for
demand sterling.
The bond market was comparatively in
active. especially in some of the favorite
speculative issues. but prices were well
maintained. Total sales, 81, 100000. United
States new As coupon declined Is bid.
