AWFUL STATE OF AFFAIRS.

General Davis Reports Conditions in Pinar
del Rio Province.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The terrible
state of affairs existing in the western
province of Cuba is shown in the report
to the war department from General
Davis at Pinar del Rio:
Troops comfortably encamped; have
been received with greatest enthusiasm
and rejoicing. Treasury empty and
only means of replenishing is a system
of taxation almost to verge of confisca-
ton. No customhouse in this province.
Country of great fertility and beauty
but ravaged almost to destruction. As
sured by responsible citizens and for
eigners that one-half the former popu-
lation has been killed or starved to
death"

favor of such an alliance as is suggested
by Mr.. Davis"
The proposition Of the Hawaiian COM
missioners to disfranchise the Japanese
residents in the Sandwich islands would
not, the minister continued in reply to .
question, be a departure from present
conditions. The Japanese in Hawaii
were disfranchised by the republican
form of government there. The minis
ter did not care to discuss the question
at length at this time for the reason
that the subject is now pending before
congress.

IRON AND STEEL LEADS.

InaC Branch of Trade Going on at an Un-
precedented Rate.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Bradstreets
says: Likening the general business of
the country to that of a water course it
may be authoritatively stated that
nearly all the channels of %seasonable
trade are at the present time running
full and in some lines of business the
stream is virtually out of the banks.
This is particularly the case in iron and
steel, where production and consump-
tive demand are alike going on at an
unprecedented rate, at a time, too, when
it is usual to look for quietness and even
dullness in that industry. Nothing like
the present activity in this branch Of
trade has been seen for many years
past, if, indeed, it has ever been
eOualled,

The weather of the past week
has been very favorable for farm
work, which is as far advanced as
in formor seasons. Generally the
soil has been in excellent condl-
tiop for plowlnS and seeding, but
ram is badly needed, especially
IN the north central section, where
the ground is so dry that much OF
the grain cannot sprout. Not
more than half of the oats and
barley have been sown; the seed
ing OF wheat, however, has been
practically completed. The early
sown Is above ground and fall
wheat is making excellent growth.
Fruit buds are reported in fine
condition; apricots and plums are
in bloom. and apple trees are be-
ginning to come into bloom,
Range grass is making marked
growth IN the eastern counties.
Showers have occurred in differ
ent parts OF the State, but in no
instance reported has the rainfall
been anywhere near the normal
amount.-Weather Report, Week
