IL is believed that Spain can be in
duced to sell Cuba for the consideration
IF relief from this bonded Indebtedness.
The objects of the syndicate are to
accomplish this; to issue S400, 600 600
Of per cent long term gold bonds in
place Of those retired; and to get the
American Government to indorse these
new Cuban securities. AS the entire
Spanish debt has been taken in at
certainly not more than 500, GOO 900. and
some authorities say for not more than
$4,000 600. the profit to the syndicate
is apparent matter of $500. 00O. 900
plumber out of a single deal offers
plenty Of margin for political dOna-
lions, Credit Mobilier" divisions, and
the purchase of legislative influence. 1t
is an Aladdin vision. 1t is a Morgan
Klondike without any cold climate at
tached TO it. But we regard il as too
rosy to work. In the first place the
Cuhans would die to the last man be-
fore they would permit such a burden
Of Spanish oppression and Yankee ras-
cality to be saddled upon them. The
Administration would not stand in the
way, because this is precisely what it
has been working and preparing for.
But any attempt 10 push a PROPOSE
ton Of that kind in Congress would
raise such yell Of anger throughout
the country that even a Hanna would
have to hear and heed.

WINE BUYERS TRICKED.
An Englishman Sells Them a Bogus
PhosDhate Deposit.

City of Mexico, Feb. "a few weeks
ago an Englishman. who said his name
was Frederick Graham, arrived here
in company with two New York CAPT
talists, whom he had interested in what
he claimed was a great phosphate
mine, situated in the state Of Oaxaca.
Graham induced the capitalists TO
join him in buying the mine, and they
deposited $40, 600 in a bank here, TO be
used as the purchase money. The New
York men then went to Oaxaca TO IN
spect the mine, and on the day follow
ing their departure Graham drew the
money from the bank and disappeared.
At Oaxaca the investigators learned
that no phosphate mine was situated
there. AS Graham has secured good
start, his capture is doubtful.

Moderating his transports in the

Why fruit should suggest horses may
not be clear to the ordinary reader but
the psychological connection is obvi-

in their fresh but in their canned state
Probably of late years the empire has
imported more American horses in tins

The detectives have found that Cook
passed a number of worthless checks

but he will not be prosecuted for these
at present at least. The Virginia au-

counts. Mrs Cook is employed as a

MERGE. Ahe Statement of MIR. Gerald
Balfour to that effect has not sufficed
TO placate the London press, which
generally seems TO regard the prime

impression has become strong that the

Port Arthur and Talienwan. AS the
other powers show a cheerful DISPOSE

wondering whether she might not as

appearance OF an understanding be-

Mckinley is completely owned in Lon

TWO DAYS ON AN ICE FLOE.
The Terrible Experience of Sixteen
Trinity Bay Fishermen.

st. Johns. n. F., Feb. 5.-The steamer
Vanguard rescued the sixteen Trinity
Bay fishermen, who went adrift on an
ice foe on Tuesday.
When the storm arose they clambered
on the foe with their boats and sought
shelter beneath these during the night.
They had no provisions with them,
and no extra clothing, and suffered
terribly from cold and hunger.
They reached land on Wednesday at
nightfall, just escaping another night
on the foe, which probably would have
proved fatal to some of them. Six are
now desperately ill.
Their clothes were frozen so solidly
that they had to be cut off their bodies
by the reScuerS.

MORE COUN1ERFEITS.
The Treas Try SIeuths Unable to Find

New York. Feb. 5.-The subtreasury
authorities here report the reappear-
ance in this city Of dangerous counter
feits of the old Window silver certifi-
Gates. These counterfeits were discov-
cred first more than a year ago.
Dispatches received from various
parts of the country in the last few
days have reported quite a flood of the
counterfeits in several Western cities.
A popularity of the bad bills is that
they always appear to have been in
circulation a long time, and are worn
badly. Secret service agents have
never been able to find any trace of
the plates. The worn appearance of
notes is believed to be given TO them
purposely by the counterfeiter.
