A PARADISE FOR BEGGARs.
Mendicancy Not Only Approved, but


encouraged
Havana Letter in New York Mail and Exc
press.
They beg every day in the week along this
streets of Havana, but Saturday Is the legal
holiday. That is to say, while the police
make no attempt whatever to interfere with
the mendicants on other days, they encour-
age the practice on Saturday by contribut-
ing their own mite 1t is the most common
thing in the world to find q business man
absolutely refuse to give aims during the
first six days of the week. but on the last
day nearly every solicitor of charity who
may visit his store receives something or
other. 1t is g. strange custom, and one that
reflects great credit on those people Of the
island who are able to, give and who do.
The laboring man, who works twice as
hard as his fellow-creature up north, goes
to and from his work every day during the
week with the exception OF Saturday with
out being disturbed by or paying any atten-
ton TO the beggars. But on this one day
an observer would lack the sentiment of O.
Newfoundland pup were he TO fail to appre-
ness that is displayed in the workingnans
with his small store surrounded by half
dozen or even a greater number OF ragged
children, to eacn of whom he gives at least
a couple of centavoS.
Just as impressive is the performance or
the carriage driver who brings his horse to
a standstill, jumps down from his box and
runs across the pavement to the curbstone
to shove few pennies into some unfortu-
nate palm. Even the driver of hearse,
gorgeously equipped, has been seen to stop
fin the middle OF funeral procession and
twirl a copper at a beggars feet. One
priest who came from Barcelona four years
ago is known to give away in charity every
Saturday four-fifths of his stipend. The
fact that one is entertaining friends at din
ner In one of the big hotels does not pre-
vent an interruption on the part OF the beg
gar. A bookseller near the captain gen.
erals palace sets apart each week $1O which
he distributes to the poor on Saturdays y
give for my sins, and can afford 10 do It,,
he explained to an American acquaintance,
"for l stick on the price when you foreign
ers buy" A practical illustration OF Gold
smiths line:
I'm penance planning sins anew"
The government, too. helps the poor on
sometimes bacon.

Largest Weeks Business of the Pres
emit Year and Prices Firm.

emit Year and Prices F1rm.
In the week ending March II trade on
the wholesale street reached the largest
volume of any week of 1885, and the outlook
for March being one of the banner months
is very good. Prices, rule, were firm
and steady. In dry goods there were no
changes. In staple groceries both sugar and
coffee carry an easier tone. The leather
market is still in strong position, with
hides active, but prices weak. Provisions
are active, notwithstanding the fact that it
is Lenten season. There is a fair demand
for hog products, especially at manufactur-
ing centers Eggs and poultry were both
firmer, the low prices having increased the
consumption. Receipts, however, are large.
Commission men had a good week. Seldom
are as many Irish potatoes sold in one week
as last week, and other vegetables sold bet
ter. There are few good apples on the
market. Oranges are still plentiful and of
good quality New onions, lettuce and rad
iSheS of Southern growth are on the market
and selling at reasonable prices. The flour
market is quiet and the seed market active
In other lines there is little new to note.
The local grain market was more active
than in the preceding week, but receipts are
still light There is an active demand for
all cereals at the following range of prices

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE close OF the week
is quiet in dry goods at first hands. Staple goods
show change from the market conditions pre-
vailing at the opening of the week. In cotton
lines there has been well-sustained demand for
seasonable styles, particularly in printed and
woven colored goods. Staple cottons in brown and
bleached goods alike practically where they
were at the weeks opening. The firm attitude
of sellers is remarkable in the face of the decline
in print cloths and the decidedly quiet demand
registered.

Spain does not bring the war to an early

the United States; and under those circum-
stances their advice to Senior Sagasta can
only be pacific; while money lenders are not
likely to give her further support except on
condition that she satisfies our demands.
For these reasons the vote of Congress is

SAILORS NEEDED
To Supply the Places of Explosion
Victims

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. - Steps have
been taken by the nevy department TO
fill the vacancies in the enlisted branch
of the navy caused by the loss of the crew
of the Maine. The legal quota is now about
three hundred short, and arrangements
have been made for the immediate enlist
ment of about that number of men. Tele-
graphic orders have been sent to the re-
cruiting officers in charge of the recruit
ing ships at New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk, authorizing them TO enlist i'm
mediately forty apprentices, forty lands
men, ten shipwrights, fourteen machinists
(second class) and forty coal passers
These enlistments are in addition to those
previously authorized to complete the
crews of the monitors Puritan and Terror
and the dispatch boat Dolphin. In each
case 1t was specified that the recruits
should be citizens of the United tSates.
There will be no difficulty whatever In
securing these men, inasmuch as there are
applications on file far in excess of the
requirements of the navy for some time to
come. unless congress shall immedia teIy
comply with the recommendatio of the
department for an increase of thousand
men in the enlisted strength of the navy.
Numerous letters and kilograms have been
received at the department from indivldu-
ais desiring to join the navy asking to be
enlisted Immediately. A telegram was re-
ceived this morning from an organizat tior
In Detroit. offering the immediate services
of 10,o00 citizens of that city in case of need

SILENCE Is GOLDEN
Until Official Inquiry Reveals the
Facts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-It was stated
today that it will be the policy of the
house leaders to prevent so far as possible,
any agitation of matters relating to Cuba
or the Maine disaster in the future. Pend
ing the result of the official investigation,
they believe 1t is wise and the part of good
policy to maintain silence.
The social courtesies which the govern
ment intended to extend to the officers of
the Vtzcaya have been abandoned on ac-
count of the Maine case. AS result, the
stay of the Vizcaya at New York prob
ably will be materially shortened, and she
Is likely to sail within the next three DAYS.
probably on Thursday next. The shin
probably will proceed direct to Havana
not stopping at Charleston or other ports
as had been suggested during the earlier
preparations.
The Vizcaya will not coal at New York
according to the understanding here, nor
will it be necessary for her to take coal
before reaching Havana. This determina-
tion gives relief to the authorities here, as
the taking of coal In time of public excite
ment is attended with moro or less risk
the coal affording an opportunity to ex.
tremists for the secretion of explosives
despite the utmost precautions that may
be taken.
Notwithstanding a statement of Lieut.
Sobral. made to an Associated Press re-
porter today, that he is still the naval at.
tache of the Spanish legation, his recall
was regularly gazetted on the Oath of JAN
uary, and he is not regarded by the lega.
tion here as connected with it.
