O port QSldy. O @ @
 Captain Eulate had been in suspense about the time of his sailing until the Consul-G General called upon him, but the order was not unexpected, and all to-day he had the vessels crew prepar- ing her for voyage. The work of coal ing was continued, with every avail able man handling the baskets, so that early tomorrow morning the ships bunkers will be packed full. The sea- men were also kept busy putting the ship in snug shape for cruising at sea, and all afternoon the ships gunners inspected and cleaned all the guns. After this work had been completed leather boxes were placed over the guns brooches, and the ships spars were all canvased.
 Other preparations made in the morning excited in no small degree the curiosity of hundreds of persons who lined the shores. Two seamen were seen aloft in the crow nest Of the mili- . tary mast aft, while several others on deck hoisted a heavy object wrapped in canvas up to them with block and fall. The object looked not a little like the barrel of a small cannon. Expect ing that to-day might be his last day in port Captain Eulate received several visitors, who had special passes from the Spanish Consul-General. Among these was a pretty little American girl, about eight years old, who watched the gunnerS at work with great de- light. One of the officers noticed her n6 a haT fn eral of the big guns, training them on houses ashore and vessels at anchor in the harber near at hand. Several ladies from Porto Rico, friends of Cap tain Eulate's wife, who is native of that place, were also among the cap tain's guests.
 When the Consul with the Vice-Consul, boarded the vessel, about o'clock in the afternoon, they were saluted by a double line of marines and escorted to the captains cabin. At the same time all the other guests on the ship were ordered ashore. MT. Balda- sano remained on board about. a half hour and then returned to Tompkins- vile on the ships steam launch, en route to New York

 Yes, the Vizcaya will sail for Ha- vana tomorrow afternoon, between 2 and o'clock" he said to me in answer to a question, and will go direct to Havana"
 He refused to discuss the subject further, except to shrug his shoulders and admit there was a slight possibility that the Vizcaya might not sail.
 You never can tell just what is going to happen" he said.

"The Twentieth Iowa." said the
Major, "was in General Heron's di-
vision. remember when the divis-
ion came into line at Vicksburg.
General Heron was a good soldier,
dangerous and aggressive. He was
new on the ground, and as soon as he
looked the situation over he went up
to General Grants headquarters to
express the opinion that he could
storm the Confederate works in his
front and go into the city without
trouble. He didn't understand the
situation, and he didn't understand
General Grant.
"The General listened to HIM quiet
ly, apparently taking great interest in
the Generals scheme for assault, but
when Heron was through he said
nothing. Heron asked, with some
show Of impatience, il the General
approved of his plan, and asked If he
might make the, attack. General
Grant said quietly, Lave you officers
enough, General Heron, to make
such an attack? I am not willing to
sacrifice the enlisted men, but il you
muster enough officers to try the ex-
pertinent you might do it. 1t is not
practicable At a later date General
Heron thought SO himself, but he
didn't think 80 at that time"

Cattle Decrease.

Cattle, mich COWS and other cattle
which means range or ranch cattle,
are now 7,939,O00 less in number than
four years ago. In 1894 the total

has grown 100000 in fourteen
years, and has increased yearly ex-
cept in the drop 1,sS9,3O7 from 1892,

Dry Goods.

NEW YoRK-Reports from dry goods
stores show, fair returns IN all jobbing
lines, but quite active trading IN first
hands. In cottons the market Is still
delayed and in wooden goods there Is
still a desire to shop for bargains. Both
markets arc firm pending a general ad-
vance and sellers In all grades are hard
to deal with. The activity in the east
ern cotton cloth market has been a
Strengthening factor in the market and
the advance IN cloths has helped the sit
uation locally very materially. The
quota OF buyers Is fairly large, but as
yet these visiting representatives prefer
to get the prices than to enter into act
ual business deals except for very small
and scattered lots OF goods. In staple
cottuns there Is q firm tone evident, al
though sales have been Of small charac-
ter, as heretofore. Print cloths have
sold again at 23-16c IN extras at Fall
River. Prints are to-day quiet in nearly
oil grades.
