badly crippled. No preparation had
been made To supply the new troopa
with uniforms. Then there was another
question 20 be solved. The troops had
been stationed with few cxcvp,ionD

were all they needed. The war took

CUBAN SIDE OF THE CASE.

An appreciative audience Of about
500 met at Association Hall, To
ronto, on the evening Of May 14th
to hear Senior Tejsda's reply to the
address delivered by Senior du Bose,
the Secretary Of the Spanish Lega.
tion at Washington, in Massey
Hall. The chair was occupied by
Mr.. John Hewitt, who introduced
the speaker in . brief review OF
Spanish history from the time OF
the consolidation Of CASTLE and
Arago.
The following account Of the pro-
ceedings is taken from the Toronto
Globe Of May l6:
"Senor Tejada, who is a pleasant
looking man was cordially re-
ceived and spoke for about an hour
and q half. His address was not
an argumentative one, but he pre-
sented the case Of the Cubans with
considerable vigor and pathos. A
gentleman living in Toronto, he said,
had sent him . clipping from the
Toronto Globe Of the address given
by Senior du Bose at Massey Hall,
and he had decided that it should
be replied to, and 80 he had come
hero for that purpose.
"Senor Tejada began his address
with some animadversiOns on what
he termed the falsehood Of the

HOW FRANCE GUARDS AGAINST THE
CORNERING OF BREADSTUrrS.

Perhaps it was the spirit bred Of
the French Revolution a time when
the French people hanged the Joe
Letters Of the period to the lamp
pOsts-that made the French SO care
full to guard against the "cornering"
Of breadstuffs or the bulling and
bearing Of stocks. The extract from
the French code printed below shows
that the methods adopted to guard
against such exploits as Mr.. Letter
has lately performed are sufficiently
drastic. The question is "Is the law
enforcedi" We seem to recall the
fact that the operations Of great
financiers on the French Bourse
form a staple theme in current
French fiction, and that they differ
little from those Of our own Goulds,
Sages and Cammacks.
However, here's the law. It Ger
tainly sounds we'll.
"All those, who, by false or mis-
leading information spread among
the public; by overbidding the
prices which sellers themselves are
asking; by sn agreement or con-
spiracy among the principal holders
Of the same merchandise or food
stuffs, having for its object not to
sell or to sell only at a certain
price; or who by any fraudulent
methods or means whatsoever, shall
have effected the rise or fall Of price
Of foodstuffs or merchandise, or Of
securities and public bonds above
or below the price which the natural
and free competition OF commerce
would have determined shall be
punished by imprisonment not less
than one month and not to exceed
one year and by fine Of not less
than five hundred francs and not
more than ten thousand francs"
(The law also provides for police
surveillance of the offender for two
years after he has served tern or
paid fne.)
