ORDERS TO
ARMY OFFICERS
Volunteers to Prepare For Immediate
bilizatiOn-VariOus Corps In
formed as to the Respective South
ern and Western Ports to Which
They Have Been Allotted.

LONDON, Oct. 3I.-There was an un-
expectedly gloomy feeling on the stock
exchange and the Paris bourse this
morning, both markets being influenced
it is inferred, from the aggressive tone
of some OF the French papers. Besides
this something extraordinary seems to
have happened, and it looks as it crisis
was approaching.
The British naval preparations are
being pushed with great activity. The
British emergency squadron is gathering
at Devonport with all possible speed and
seven bottleships and one cruiser have
been designated so far to join the squad
ron. The officers and sailors have been
hurriedly recalled from leave of absence,
several battleships and cruisers at
Portsmouth are taking full crews on
board, and other warlike preparations
are being made. A number of signal
men, now on duty with the British
channel squadron, which arrived at Glib
raltar this morning, have been ordered
home for service.
A sensation was caused by the arrest
of a supposed Russian spy at fort near
Harwich. The man was already under
survilance, and went to the redou BIT,
where he tried to obtain some informa-
ton from the sentry regarding the forth
fcations. He was arrested, ard inqui-
ries are being made regarding his ante
cedents.
1t was also asserted today that officers
of the volunteers had received orders
to prepare for immediate mobilization,
and it was stated that the different army
corps had been informed as to the ports
on the southern and western coast to
which they have been allotted.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
says:
England has been and even now is
so near war that the government has
carried its preparations to the farthest
limit of the preparatory stage. It has
been arranged to call out the reserves
and militia and mobilize the volunteers
simultaneously and to form large camps
at various important railroad functions
where rolling stock and locomotives will
be concentrated.

SCHEME TO DE-
LAY EVACUATION
BlancO's Orders that No Spanish Troops
Be Paid in Cuba is Regarded as
a Move in this Direction.

New York, Oct. 31.-A Washington
special says:
Two constructions are put upon the
recent order of General Blanco that the
Spanish troops should not be discharged
but shall go to Spain to receive their
pay. This cancels the previous order of
October 4th, which said that such Span
iards as desired could remain in Cuba.
Should the troops choose to return under
this later order to Spain, it would give
the Spaniards pretext for asking a
longer time for evacuation, which may
be their desire.
On the other hand, it is urged by a
high war department official that the
cause of.this order lies in Blanco's ina
billty to pay them, and in the hope,
therefore, that they would desert and
thereby relieve the Spanish government
of further obligation.
The Spanish. regular troops in Cuba
are now scattered and number about

PUBLIC MEETING
AT SAN JUAN
General Wood Pestered With Cuban
0ffice-Seekers at ManzanillO-Th
Santa Cruz Assembly.

SAN JUAN, Oct. 30.-The principal the
ater of the town was taxed to its utmost
capacity this afternoon on the occasion
of public meeting of delegates from the
chief towns of the island to consider and
draft recommendations regarding the
necessities of the island for the use of
the special commissioners, who will be
selected to represent Porto Rico at
Washington, when the time comes for
settling the administrative system. The
assembly was fairly representative and
although the proceedings gave undue
prominence to unimpoftant details, there
was abundant evidence of intelligent re-
Election on the part of the delegates and
of determination not to tolerate parti-
san politics at this crisis in the islands
affairs.
Carefully prepared reports were sub
mitted by the political, social and eco
nomical committees. The meeting re-
ceived with enthusiasm the resolution
demanding territorial rights, the cessa-
tion of the present military rule, and
the installation of regular civil govern
ment. Other resolutions were adopted
asking an eight hour day for the labor
ing man and seYerally denouncing the
present corrupt system of registering
deeds of land.
1t was obvious that the delegates pro-
ceeded upon the assumption that the
United States would grant Porto Rico
territorial rights.

ASSUME PART
OF THE DEBT
Intentions of the United States Con-
veyed to the Spanish Peace Com
missiOners By the Americans in
Joint Session.

PARIS, Oct. 31.-At meeting of the
peace commission today the Americans
presented a written statement of the
purpose of the United States to take the
entire group of the Philippine islands
and to assume such portion of the Phil
ippine debt as has been spent for the
benefit of the island in public works,
improvements and permanent better
ments. It was also set forth that the
United States would not assume any
part of the Philippine debt which had
been incurred by Spain for the further
ance of military or naval operations to
quell the instructions of the natives.
The session was adjourned until Fri
day, in order to give the Spaniards time
to prepare reply. Tie session lasted a
little over an hour.

OREGON is IN THE LEAD.
Greater Wool Clip Than That of Any
Other State.

The annual estimate of the wool clip
of the United States for 1898 made by
Secretary North, of the National Asso-
which is to be published in it's Novem-
Der Bulletin, shows the amount to have
been 266, ,720, ,6S4 pounds, against 259,-
1853 ,251 pounds in 1897. Since the de-
partment of agriculture ceased to sub
NIT an annual estimate of the wool clip,
that made by the Wool Manufacturer
Association is relied upon as giving the
desired information relative to our
domestic wool supply.
Oregon shows, according to the statis-
tics, the largest yield, 81 ,291 .S72 pounds
of washed and unwashed wool, and, /,
next to Washington, shows the largest
per cent of shrinkage in securing, or II
per cent. Montana follows, with 20,-
935, ,105 pounds and 81 per cent shrink
age; California, 16,932 1898 pounds and
66 per cent shrinkage; Texas, 16, ,380, ,442
pounds and 20 per cent: Wyoming, 49,
626. .704 pounds; New Mexico, Il, 1873. .42O !;
Ohio, ~ 114.953 pounds; Colorado,
9,95s, 1853; and Michigan, $3.50, ,122
pounds.
The Eastern farmer cannot raise wool
in successful competition with the
methods which prevail on the Western
ranches, any more than he can raise
wheat or corn in competition with West
ern lands and methods. 1t is not foreign,
but domestic competition which is
gradually destroying woolgrowing, ex-
cept in small focks, in the Eastern
states.
The average supply of wool in the
United States, based upon production,
exports and imports, has been, in a
period of eight years, about 100000, 900
pounds annually, which quantity. ac-
cording to the best judgement. that can
be based upon present conditions. may
be exceeded in the consumption of the
year upon which we now enter. The
average annual supply of foreign wool is
divided into 81 ,450, 1874 pounds of class 1
and woods, and 90, ,062, ,769 pounds of
class wool. There appears to be an
ample supply of class 8 wools now In the
country, in view of the present depressed
condition of the carpet manufacture.
In addition to wool held by manufac-
turers and dealers there remained in
government bonded warehouses "a, ,547,-
076 pounds of all classes on the first of
July of this year, as against 532, $40

mine tunnel is one hundred and forty
feet, having been driven to ascertain
whether or not the values on the surface
held with the depth.
The mine has always showed rich ore,
but this discovery makes other mines
near by almost certain of encountering
the ledge at great depth. The ledge in
the Republic seems to be like a wedge
with the little end up.
