OUR SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE.

The exports of domestic merchandise from the United States to Africa during the year ending June 30. 1SSS were valued at 8, 090 7S7, while in the year ending with the same month, 1s97 the total ran up to s16 54S. The busi- ness with South Africa has steadily increased for ten years. The recent increase is attrib- utable principally to the fact that that coun- try has bought largely of our cereals during the two years that Australia has been unable to supply her.

gin hostilties, as Indicated prompt meas
ures would be taken to give such aid and
comfort to General Gomez, leader Of the
insurgents that he could attack Havana
and other Cuban seaports from the rear
while our war ships bombarded them from
the water front. In this way war could
be waged on Cuban soil without subjectng

Curiosity attaches to Senator Proctor's
visit to Havana He is expected back in
Washington the first of next week. He has
spent much time while in Havana, accord
ing to reports, about the wreck and he
may be in position to foreshadow the re-
suit of the official inquiry. 1t would not
be surprising if he were to lay before the
President the result of his observations in
Havana, and prepare the mind of the exec
utive for what is TO follow. This is be-
lieved to have been the object of his expe-
dtion.
The Democrats insist in introducing poll
ties into the Cuban complications Their
voices are for peace and in opposition to
any preparations for trouble, whether by
the administration or by Republicans in
Congress-. While ndustriously cultivating
the impression that the administration is
going to fall short OF its duty in the han
ding of the perplexing problem, they con-
tinue to decry war, and to insist that there
will be none. They have no desire to add
To- their election risks by contributing to
the necessity for war party next fall
Even at this early stage. they recognize
that their position would be hopeless if
there should happen to be war on next
fall The country, in such an event, could
not do otherwise than give it's loyal sup
port to the party which, at that time, had
the responsibility for carrying on hostilities.

PLAIN TALK in SPAIN.
Policy of the Government Criticised
by Cardinal Cascajares.

NEW YORK, March 2-The Journal
prints the following copyright cablegram
from Hindaye: Cardinal Cascajares, Arch
bishop of Valaloid, has issued a pastoral
which creates a sensation in Spain, so much
that all kilograms addressed to provincial
and foreign papers giving extracts have
been suppressed by the censorship. Your
Madrid correspondent telegraphs me that
not one line of his messages We're allowed
to pass He handed in the report hours be-
fore the pastoral was published and the
alarm was given to the government. Car
dinal Cascajares's pastoral is an eloquent,
energetic complaint of the policy followed
by the Spanish government in Cuba before
the insurrection and during the war, and
of their weakness in their relations with
the United States Cardinal Cascajares
judges the situation to be most serious and
advises the formation of a large Catholic
patriotic party on broad national lines. to
save the country. He declares the existing
political parties have not energy enough to
govern under present critical circumstances.
Describing the situation of leading Span
ish parties, Cardinal Cascajares says:
"Since Canovas's death the Conservative
party has gone to pieces, and has not yet
reunited. The Liberal party is led by an
illustrious man. who has rendered great
services to his country in critical circum-
stances, but who, through physical inffrmi-
ties and moral weakness, has no longer the
energies which are now more needed than
ever. Besides that he may be soon dis
credited by the almost sure failure of the
autonomy ne has given to Cuba. The Re-
publican party is more divided than ever,
and can never be strong nor national be-
cause it is anti-Catholic. Lastly, the Carl
lists cannot come TO power without being
preceded by fresh civil war, which would
complete the ruin of the country
II therefore believe with many others
that the only solution is the formation of a
broad national party. This is only tran
STORY, accidental solution, but it would
yield results for the moment in case of i'm
minent danger to the country, such as that
of war with the United States"
Cardinal Cascajares begins by declaring
the immortality of the administration and
the lack of justice in Cuba. Soldiers in
Cuba have been treated so that the mortali-
ty among them has been horrible" He
hints, without naming Weyler. that the
immortality of Weyler's administration and
his rapacity have been the probable cause
of the death Of thousands of soldiers Car
dinal Cascajares says afterward: ''The
deadly colonial war takes away without
glory the flower of our youth. We are

HOUSE NAVAL Committee.
1t VIII Favor Increased Appropria-
tiOns for Men and Ordnance.

tiOns for Men and Ordnance.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Chairman
Boutelle. of the House committee on naval
affairs, has not yet submitted to his COM
mittee the letter he received last Friday
from Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, then acting secretary of the
navy asking for the passage of a special
act authorizing the enlistment of 1900 adj
ditional men and boys in the navy. This
additional force was asked in advance of
the passage of the regular appropriation
bill in order 1t is understood that the
vessels whicA are being put in commission
might be properly manned. The subcommit-
tee on naval affairs in charge of the regular
appropriation bill mad already agreed
upon an increase of the enlisted men by
1850, bringing the total Of enlisted men up
to 13,000 The sentiment of the House COM
mittee is extremely liberal and Mr. Foss,
of Illinois, a member of the committee said
to-day that if the Navy Department asked
for a special bill and that the question was
officially submitted to the committee he
had no doubt it would receive the indorse-
ment by the committee. The subcommittee
has shown liberal spirit in their recon-
mendations for increases thus far.
Action on the question of ships and dry
docks will be largely influenced by the out
come of the investigation into the Maine
disaster. 1t has already been practically de-
cided that the price which the secretary of
the navy shall be authorized to pay for
armor plate for the ships now approach
ing completion shall be $400 per ton, but
no formal vote has yet been taken on this
proposition by the subcommittee The work
of the subcommittee, as far as it has gone,
ie hoi,o Nd tod Iaxyf fI,o
full committee. Thus far the subcommit-
tees action has not been reversed.
The full comnaitee has ratified the ac-
ton of the subcommittee in recommending
an increase of 100000 for ordnance and
ordnance stores, bringing the total appro-
priation for this item up to $SOO,OOo, besides
the appropriations of $4,000 for convert
ing six-inch guns into rapid-fire guns, $45-
600 for Gaping armor piercing shells and
$500 for the manufacture of cartridge
making machinery-the latter appropriation
to go to the ordnance factory. An appro-
priation of $275,0 600 to increase the speed of
the Chicago and to replace her old guns
with rapid-fire batteries is also recon-
mended and an appropriation of $250, 900 for
reserve torpedoes and appliances. The in
crease in the number of enlisted men rec
commended by the subcommittee has not yet
been considered by the full committee A
significant increase voted by the full COM
mittee related to the appropriation for the
naval militia. Heretofore $4,000 has been
carried by the appropriation bill for the
naval militia. A delegation representing the
militia was here recently and asked a
slight additional appropriation and the
committee voted an increase of $4,000,
making the total appropriation 100000.

of the Testimony Given Out.
KEY WEST, Fla, March 2-The fact is
becoming more evident as the DAYS pass
that any information direct from the mem
oers OF the United States court of inquiry
into the loss of the battle ship Maine and
from those appearing before it, is guarded
with unusual closeness Practically no in
formation presented to the court has been
disclosed. The restrictions are so severe
that the communications between the naval
men who have been before the court have
been most guarded. Naval officers at this
station who were not connected with the
court express the guarded view that very
little testimony has yet been heard tending
to show that the explosion was the result
of a conspiracy or as to the exact cause
of the disaster
The court resumed it's session here at 10
o'clock this morning. Ten more enlisted
men were examined by the full board. Com
mander Forsyth was also called. 1t Is un-
derstood he gave testimony regarding the
coaling of the battle ship at the navy yard
here. The court of inquiry took a recess
for luncheon al l o'clock.
The afternoon session opened at the bar
racks, where all the survivors of the Maine
We're mustered. The men were asked if
they had any charges or further statements
to make. Not word came from the ranks
and after whispered consultation the
work OF the court of inquiry at Key West
came to an end. The stenographers were
kept busy during the rest Of the afternoon,
and caught up with their notes of the testi-
mony. The proceedings at the barracks
lasted about an hour only, and were con-
Quoted with great privacy
Judge Advocate Mark, in reply to an H.
quiry. said that so far al he knew the court
has no more work to do at Key West When
