on or before March 4. 1898, the

BETRAYER REWARDED.

Il
New York, Feb. IA special
to the World from Tampa, Fla.
says:
Pierre Ramiro, who betrayed
AraHguren, has been commits
stoned as lieutenant in the
Spanish army for that service.
Ramiro was a scout of Aran-
guren's brigade and was captur-
ed by the Spanish forces. He
was given the option of betray-
ing Aranguren and getting $500
or being macheted. He chose
to lead the Spanish forces to
where they could butcher Aran-
guren while he was practically
alone.
The idea of Gomez going to
New York to confer with the
junta is scoffed at. Gomez
could not endure a trip north
during the winter. furthermore
it would be far easier for the
junta to send a delegation, if
necessary, to him.

COTTON.

New York, Feb. 9.-Cotton-The
opening today was decidedly salts
factory. In fact, the advance of 4 to
6 points exceeded expectations, and
was based chiefly on the character of
Liverpool cables showing l-2 points
net rise for futures and Lie advance
for spots. After our opening Liver
pool became weak and declined to
last nights prices. Shorts were ner-
vous, and among the most promi-
nent buyers were firms who have all
along been arrayed on the bear side.
The easier market after the foreign
opening was ascribed to fears of a
report by Neill of a bearish nature.
The effect of any report from this or
any other source bearing upon the
1928 crop is not likely to prove
more than temporary, and the feel
ing is pretty general that the upward
trend will shortly be resumed with
little resistance, if any. The market
in the afternoon developed no inn
portant feature after oeclining a
point or two below yesterdays close
when there was a fresh disposition
to support the market Brokers
generally reported considerable out
side inquiry and indications of
further broadening of the market.

CUBAN QUESTION IN NEW YORK.

CUBAN QUESTION IN NEW YORK.
New York, Feb. S.-The
Cuban question is the most
prominent factor in Wall street
today. The resolutions of Sen
ators Cannon and Mason, d.
recting the president to inform
Spain that war must stop in
Cuba, otherwise the United
States will interfere to stop it,
have been announced. A fear
is expressed that some very an
tagonistic speeches will be de-
livered which will arouse senti-
ment in Cuba to an extent as to
make rioting probable. There
is also talk that the Sagasta
government may show its teeth
for election effect, which occurs
two months hence.

HOME BENEFITS BESTOWED.
Good Work Accomplished by the
WOman's Christian Association

Mrs. Abbie B. Cliff. the secretary of the
Woman's Christian Association, has
transmitted the following report to the
year ending June 80. last:
Three hundred and thirty-nine women
and twelve children have been admitted
to the Home during the year. Among
these nearly all conditions of life and
nearly all ages were represented. A gem
eral classification of them would show:
Women out OF employment and seeking
work; pension claimants who have used
all or nearly all of their funds; invalids
discharged from hospitals while stiu too
feeble 10 care for themselves; a few
women who have recently become
mothers and were unable to care for their
infants elsewhere; together with numer-
Gus others temporarily or permanently
disabled in the struggle of life.
I'm addition to women of our own coun-
try who were admitted TO the asylum, we
have had representatives from Austria,
Denmark, England. Germany. Norway.
Nova Scotia, Scotland, Switzerland and
Sweden.
During the year forty inmates have
been transferred 10 the hospitals and sew
enty-three have secured employment. In
many cases such employment was found
by some member of the association; in
other cases home was furnished the
work-seeker until she could find work for
herself
Two persons have been assisted in re-
turning TO their distant homes. Seventy
thousand meals have been served we
have but seven paid employees, but many
inmates of the home temporarily assist
in the work as part payment for their
board. Permanent improvements made
during the year include enlarged bath
rooms and new plumbing Entertain
ments for the pleasure of the inmates
have been furnished al intervals.
The visiting committee distributed $500
of the funds of the association, paying
rent and giving fuei and food to 200 fam
lilies. Five hundred garments were dis
tributed and employment was found for
fifteen persons. 1t has been suggested
that our association abandon this branch
of the work, as being especially the field
of the associated charities The benefits
of the home are bestowed without regard
to creed or denomination. Women of all
beliefs or no belief of all churches or no
church, who need help are assisted SO
far as their deserts and our means will
permit. We have but one great need. and
that is more room.'
The report then shows that the receipts
of the association for the year were
SS,elS.75, including a government appro-
priation of $1,000. the balance being oh
tanned from private funds, boarders. ad-
mission fees for lie members and church
collections. The total expenditures of the
year were S7.991.46, leaving a balance on
hand of $627.29.
