THE SITUATION IN CUBA.

We have it on excellent authority, and from the insurgent side, that the Spaniards are now carrying on civil ized warfare in Cuba. Nevertheless, autonomy has not been accepted, and the armies of Gomez and Garcia are still unconquerable, and there is no sign whatever that Captain General Blanco will meet with any more suc- cess in the field than did his two pre- decessors. On the other hand. there is no reason to believe that the insur- gents can possibly drive the Spaniards OH the island. They can hold on and they can prevent Cuba from again be- coming a producer of Spanish revenue, while Spain is evidently becoming tired. The Spanish friends of Weyler have broken out in riots in Havana, which have made war seem very near to this country. Under the circum- stances it is not strange that Ameri- cans engaged In the Cuban insurrec- tion should believe that Spain will quietly drop the island in few months. But a good deal still depends on us- Harper's Weekly.

 Liverpool warehouse stocks also showed re- duction of I5e,ocO bushels for the week. News bearing on the future crops here and in for eign countries was so favorable, however, that a selling movement started almost immediately after the opening, and the pressure finally be- came so hard that the market for some time lost all appearance of strength. May dropped to s4Ssc in a few minutes, and though sea- board reports of good foreign inquiry caused few of the more timid shorts to cover which sent the May price back to s4lsQ55%c. the price dropped immediately after this demand satisfied to S41sc.

The Kansas Pacific consols opened off 324 per cent the strength of this but the buying at the decline very heavy and aggressive and reassuring reports were given out that this security was not likely to be deprived of its right of exchange with the reorganiZed Union Pacific securities This ap- parently failed to rally the stocks of the com pany and they were heavy all day the pre- ferred going of at time l5sc and the common point. Missouri Pacific showed re- currence of it's recent weakness and declined at time point below Saturdays close Lake Shore, New York Central Northern Pa cific pTeferred and other recent favorites showed the effects of a continuation of profit taking. The coaiers and the grangers were in the main heavy, Northwest being an ex- ception. Northwest preferred showed a gain of 312 the last transaction. Quite a number ot stocks were conspicuous for very vigorous movements. This was notably the case with Metropolitan Street Railway. which at one time 5% above Saturdays close but which reacted 1as.
