A CENsGRIzED DISPATCH.
How the Spaniards Manipulate News
TeIeEPamS,

LONDON, March 31--A number of the
sentences from the Madrid dispatch to the
Associated Press cabled last evening, dup
licate of which was mailed to the Spanish
frontier and from there telegraphed to the
london office of the Associated Press, were
evidently eliminated by the Spanish censor.
The dispatch should have contained the fol-
lowing:
Tomorrow will be the critical day. Gen.
Wocdford's negotiations will then have de-
cided whether it is to be peace or war. IN
less Spain gives a favorable answer 10

SPANISH PATRIOTISM.
II Vents Itself at a Performance Tor
Beneflt of the Navy.

MADRID. March 31.--There was great
rush for seats for the performance at the
Roval Theater in behalf of the Spanish
navy. The Queen paid $1,000 pesetas Tor a
hoy the Spanish Ministry paid 5000 pesetas
for boxes. several capitalists took stalls at
15o 600 pesetas, the Countess Bornos PAID
100 600 pesetas. the Marquise Laguna PAID
Ok GOO pesetas the Bank of Spain paid 500,ooJ
nesetas and other organizations and indl-
1,iduals paid enormous sums. AT Z O'Clock
this evening the seats sold had yielded more
than 614OOO pesetas, including 20O,0JO pesetas
from the Marquis Villemejor, but many im-
nortant amounts are not included in this
total.
The house was crowded and the scene was
one of indescribable enthusiasm, with
frenzied cries of Long live Spain Long
live Cuba" and Long live the army and
navy" The moment the Queen Regent en-
tered the royal box the audience gave her a
delirious ovation, which was repeated after
the third act of the opera. The scenes were
really extravagant. Ladles OF the nlsAese
aristocracy, in brilliant tCllets anu JeWsis,
ministers and high officials occupied the
boxes while the ordinarily cheaper seats
were occupied by persons nlgn IN society.
The final scene was a magnincent apothe-

Mr.. Frye gave notice that he would move,

Consideration of the sundry civil appro-

five pages of the BILL including all Of the
committee amendments therein, except two,
had been disposed of, the measure was laid
aside.
Mr.. Hawley Comm. of the military af-
fairs committee, presented an amendment
70 the joint resolution offered by Mr. Bacon
(Ga.), concerning the erection of tempo
rary Notifications. He said that the reso-
luton, as now amended, met all objections
that had been raised against the original
one. IT IS as follows: THAT in case of eIner-

dent, the immediate erection OF any tenn

portant and urgent, such temporary fort
or fertilization may be constructed upon
written consent Of the owaer of the land
upon which such work is to be placed; and
the requirements OF Section S55 of the Re-
vised Statutes shall not be applicable in

4 rEREMpToRY DEMAND.
President &ckinley's Alleged Ulti
nahum to Spain.

President MckinIey7s Alleged OAl-
nahum to Spain.
LONDON, April 1.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Daily Mail asserts that
President Mckinley has addressed note to
the Spanish government demanding inde-
pendence for Cuba in such peremptory terms
as to amount to an ultimatum, and that
Spain must reply to-day (Friday)
The New York correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, after asserting that Presiden.
Mckinley has demanded Cuban independ-
ence, adds: Spain has asked and obtained
from the United States government delay
of twenty-four hours for reply, which, If
it does not practically free Cuba, will be
Immediately followed by an ultmatum."
The American dispatches to the other
morning papers do not go so far, but II is
universally conceded that America demand
for an armistice must perforce imply Cuban
independence. All the editorials are based
on this supposition, and follow the Times
in advising Spanish acceptance, with the
financial advantages for Spain which un-
doubtedly accompany the demand.
The Daily Telegraph says: The ulti-
matum is one which other nations can only
take note of in sorrowful and anxious
The Daily Chronicle discusses the Arleri-
can demands as marking a crisis involving
momentous turning point in American his

roeism. which is subject fraught with mo-
mentOuS issues Tor mankind.

It is evident peace and war hang in the
balance, and that The world has not long 70
wait for definite information. 1t cannot be
supposed that Americas terms have yet
been published neither completeness, but
they may be guessed to include complete
freedom for Cuba. The Spanish govern
ment will make fatal mistake If it fails to
understand the terms now offered, which
are the best it is ever likely to obtain, and
if they are not promptly accepted 1t Is
to be feared that the next presentation of
American demands will be in harsher shape.
With every sympathy for Spain. her gov
eminent and dynasty, it must be said that
the government of Cuba has been a scandal
which would have been resented even. by
other nations if they had been in as close
proximity as the United States.
TT behooves Spain to consider whether
Cuba is worth fighting for in such an un-
equal conflict that is even doubtful If Spain
would gain a temporary success. while her
ultimate defeat would be certain. A mod
crate naval force could reduce the island
by starvation, and privateering could not in

mentioning by Spain without calling for
the Intervention of neutral nations.

NEW YORK, March S1.-The reported
trouble in Porto Rico. by reason of which
1t is stated that practically the entire au-
economist Ministry has resigned. was widely
discussed by Porto Ricans in this city to-
day 1t seemed to be the general opinion
among them that autonomy on the Island
was a complete failure, under the condi-
lions that exist to-day, and that 1t never
would prove success until autonomy IN It's
widest sense should be granted by the
Spanish government. Among Porto Ricans
the opinion was freely expressed that the
military had interfered in the elections,
with the result that Conservatives were re-
turned where there was an actual Liberal
majority Any attempt at reyoution in
Porto Rico would inevitably fail. owing TO
fhe srnallness of the island The natives OF
Porto Rico, IL is asserted. would very gem
orally sympathize with the United States in
the event of a conflict between this coun-
try and Spain.

Cotton Review.

New June 25-Haven & Stout, in their
weekly market circular say of cotton:
cotton has been more active this week
than for a long time past. Influenced by
lower foreign markets and generally fay-
orable weather and crop reports from the
South, prices declined sharply on Monday
and again on Tuesday. Later on, how
ever. prices have rallied, shorts have COW
cred freely. and there has been some new
buvjng. based upon the fact that the pres
emf range of prices is the lowest ever re-
corded az this season. and on the theory
that however favorable the crop condi-
lions may be in June it does not insure
q large outturn In the end. July and Au-
eust are the critical months, and while
GOOD conditions in June undoubtedly help
other things being equal, to make a good
crop. still bad conditions in July and Au-
eust may result in a decidedly poor crop.

weekly Market Review.

The weakness in cotton continued and
was quite marked early in the week.
Liquidation of long August went on freely
and prices declined some 30 points. Later
there was a moderate rally and August
closed 10 points lower at 6.21c The new
crop months suffered less. October clos
ing u points lower at 6.07c. The weakness
was due to favorable crop accounts and
to a certain amount of bullish discoura ge-
ment over the inglorious collapse of the
recent wheat corner. A good many peo-
pie seem to have bought August on the
belief that the wheat clique were organ
izing deal in cotton. Crop accounts are
very fine; complaints are remarkably few
and unimportant A middle Georgia cor
respondent insists that the last crops
enormous size was entirely due to the late
and mild winter, and states that plants of
the 1897 crop are now living and blooming,
having survived the winter 1t requires
something else besides a late winter to
make a big crop. for instance, large acre
age and a seasonable summer 1t really
appears that the cotton plant by long tul-
tiVation and selection has become more
hardy than it formerly was and is less
liable to injury from the vicissitudes of
climate. There Is now no doubt a con-
siderable short interest in the new crop
months, and prices are too low for the
bear side to be safe.
The grain and provision markets were
quieter and fluctuations, in wheat es-
pecially, were much smaller than has been
usual of late. The market was ra Their

short on favorable prospects in June, there
is Discrimination 20 embark in large ven
lures on the short side, but rather a dis
position TO proceed on a conservative Ia
sis until the trade can form clearer idea
OF the ultimate result. 1t must be admit
ted that there was very little comfort TO
be extracted by the bulls from the crop
news of the week. The conditions at the
present are admittedly favorable in al
most every section of the cotton belt in
fact they are for the time being pronouac-
ed almost ideal.
The spot markets in this country are
quiet and generally lower. but exports
continue free. This continued good export
demand has brought about some discus
sion as to the probable supplies to be cars
ried over into next season, and conser-
vative estimates of the worlds visible
stock on September /, are 100000 bales,
against 100000 bales last year. The
worlds stock In spinner's hands. il is
said, will he $4,000 bales larger than ON
the LIST of September, 1897. If these esti-
mates are accepted, then the consumption
of American cotton this season will reach
100000 bales, as against 9.250,0O0 4ast sea-
son. This shows the Increased consump-
ton of American cotton, partly brought
about by its low price. which has led to
its being used in place of that from In
dia and other countries. The opening up
of China, Africa, the Philippines and Cuba
to unfettered trade and Anglo-SaXon civ
Aization, promies to give a very decided
impetus both TO the growing and manu-
featuring of Americas greatest staple. AS
to the immediate course of values the
belief that cotton is too low to sell nd
crop prospects too bright to justify buy
ing, may lead TO some inactivity, but as
prices have responded during the past rev
days to the crop improvements, just so
will they in the future reflect any ad-
verse development in crop conditions.
Furthermore any further decline from the
low figures recorded during the week
would very likely bring into the market
a fresh volume of outside investment pur-
