WILL CENSURE De LONE.
Spain's Way Of Satisfying the De-

an AnOIO.y

NEW YORK. Feb ia dispatch
to the World from Madrid says: The
minister of foreign affairs will draw
up Immediately a note in reply to the
one presented by Gen. Woodford. The
Spanish note will express surprise at
tht United States government having
expected any explanations concerning
private letter of its late representa-
tive, considering the fact that the gov
eminent cannot be held responsible
for the unauthorized and unwarranted
assertion Of De LONE. implying a lack
of sincerity in the Cuban home rule
proposition.
The Spanish note viii be as strong
in its censure of De LOme's remarks
on the president as could be desired
and will fully recognize the sincerity
and the friendly conduct in the past
of Mckinley toward Spain
The Liberal papers express the opin
ion that the cabinet could not hon0ra-
bly, refuse the disclaimer desired by
the United States, and believe De Lone
will be called TO account for his CON
duct while he held an official position
The other newspapers echo the gen
eral feeling of relief at the prospect
that relations have not been further
disturbed, as it is generally supposed
the United States will accept the note
The Official Gazette records the res
ignation, but signifies its displeasure
that the censure of the government is
satisfied with the zeal and services of
the resigning minister.

OPERATION
For the Cure of Piles.

1t is not only intensely painful dan
gerous to life and very expensive but
in the light of modern medical research

unnecessary. If you have any doubt
on the point kindly read the following
letters from people WHO know that our
claims regarding the merits of the Ply
ramid Pile Cure are borne out by the
facts.
From N A Stab, Ridge Road, Mag

The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by The Pyramid Drug Co, of Marshall,

edy for all forms of piles. So great has
been the number of testimonial letters

July and May Options Sent Skyyvard

to the Shorts of what They Are
to Expect-The May Option at
S1.O3.

CHICAGO, Feb 16-There was a
wild market on the curb, after the reg
uIar close, apparently owing to the Gu
pan situation. May wheat closed at
Sl03A, sold as high as $1.O6, closing at
S1.O5 July was bid up to Gle. The
curb price made the advance for the
day &c to &c per bushel. Puts and calls
were traded in at lie spread on the
May option.
Philip D. Armour said tonight: Lei
ter can put May wheat to $3.50 if he
wants to. He has only to keep still and
90 nothing; the shorts will do the rest
There will be good prices for wheat for
another year, at any rate. THESE mat
ters go in long runs-years of plenty
and then of scarcity. This year wheat
will go out at s1.25. The turn has not
been alone in wheat: it has been in

fast and loose with the fears of a ire
mendOus short interest, and is showing
himself to be by all odds the most re-
markable factor ever encountered in
the local market. Once more the bat
tie between Armour and Letter is being
witnessed. Vague rumors from the
Northwest, showing that some big for
ces were at work there, revealed them
selves today in the shape of facts.
Armour sent his brokers to the
Northwest sections some days ago TO
buy all the cash wheat in sight 1t is

denials, it is asserted, he borrowed
from Peavey to deliver to Letter on De-
cember contracts.
No sooner did Letter hear of this
flank movement than he began to plan

warded to all of Letters brokers in the
Northwest to follow up Armour's
agents and bid &c, SC and &c higher

the latter.
Although Armour denies the report
of borrowing from Peavey, a leading
broker is authority for the statement
that Armour placed a check for $4,000,

payable to the order of Peavey, to in
sure the return of a vast quantity of
wheat which Armour secured from
Peavey to cover his December short

PERIL CLOSE AT HAND
CIVIL WAR LIMITED AT BY lola
TRIAL WITNESS
Sensation Caused in Court by the
Sensational and Emphatic State
mcnts of Gen. PelIieux. Who Was
in Charge OF the Case Against
Mai. Esterhazy.

FARIS. Feb. 1.-THE palace of jus
tice. on the ninth day of the trial of
Emile lola and Perreux, was crowded
as usual.
NJ. Laborie, counsel for NJ. lola. en-
SPECIFICALLY demanded that Gen. BiIlot,
the minister for war, be called to tes-
tify. The presiding judge, NJ. de La
gorgue, invited NJ. LabOrie to present
q conclusion to that effect
Gen. Pellieux, who conduted the in
vestigatiOn into the charges brought
against Maj. Esterhezy, created a SEN
sation by protesting lin the most en-
phatic manner, against ISLANDERS which
are calculated to destroy confidence in
the heads of the army at a time when
danger is perhaps nearer than people
believe"
Continuing, Gen. Pelneux said: II
will prove to you here with the papers
in my hand. that the officer who wrote
the bOrdereau belonged to the ministry
of war. was an artillery man, and was
seconded for services on the staff"
The statement of the general caused
a sensation.
The general also said: Il cannot
stand still and see men trying to de-
tach the army from its chiefs. for if the
soldiers cease to have confidence in
them. what will the chiefs do in the
day of danger which is. perhaps. near
er than people think? Then, gentlemen
of the jury. your sons would be led TO
simple butchery."
The effect of this outburst was in
tense.
At this stage of the proceedings the
court was temporarily adjourned
When the session of the court was
resumed, NJ. Laborie reproached Gen.
Pellieux with telling the jury that they
might shortly have war, and added:
I'VE do not fear war with such soldiers
as we have, but if they are led by GER
tain officers -"
After some further testimony of an
unfmportant nature, court adjourned.
1t was the general belief yesterday
that the lola trial would end on Fri
day or Saturday next. Now specula-
ton fixes upon Wednesday next or
even a later date.
1t is beginning to be believed that the
tordereau may yet be produced in
court.

one fact is certain, and that is Armour

May wheat sold UP a few minutes be-
fore the close today to S1.O3as. and
closed excited at SE035I, an advance of
3Ac over yesterday. July, which has
been almost stagnant for some time,
was heavily traded in, especially dur
ing the last hour Of business, and was
sent up to S91ac, the advance in that
delivery being equal to the gain in
May.
On the curb few minutes after clos
ing $f.0S5s was being BID for May.
while call prices were at s1.101A.
The prices for May today are the
highest that have ruled for that option
since 1891 There appeared to be but
one factor in the market, the almost
complete control that Joseph Letter has
of May
1t was struggle, of shorts all day to
cover. with very little wheat offering,
and that from the outside though there
was some local selling against privi-
leges. The market was very excited
toward the close Many shorts who
had hitherto held out being driven to
cover by the heavy calls for margins.
Cuban news added to the uncertainty
OF the situation. but had little more
apparent effect than other outside mat
terS.
Trouble for shorts was indicated on
the curb before the regular opening.
Nav was bid up to 81, on runners or
large engagements of wheat for ship
ment to Lisbon and talk of a reduc-
ton of the Portuguese grain duty The
bullish feeling was greatly increased
by an interview regarding the Euro
pean situation by prominent Chicago
trader, who has been travelling through
Europe. in which he confirmed the re-
ports of almost unprecedentedly small
stocks, and said that Europe was de-
pendent upon the United States for her
supplies.
Traders, who have been heavy sellers
here against purchases in New York,
were forced to unstradde. Northwest
shorts also came into the market and
helped make things interesting.
NEW YORK. Feb 16.-Developments
in wheat late this afternoon were of a
somewhat sensational character. After
a hardening tendency all day. the local
crowd was finally cOrnered and forced
to pay a sharp advance in the last ten
minutes of the session, prices jumping
LAS cents to 1875 cents for May, with
a subsequent rise TO $l.00l2 on the
curb.
Attending this bulge was news today
that wheat in Chicago had been ad-
vanced to $685.. Neither cables nor
home crop news had any material in
f1uence upon tOday's market. The Ha-
vana disaster was equally without eff
feet, although naturally creating a pro-
found impression on change.
Coarse grains were much stronger
particularly corn which advanced
about a cent bushel. Export inter
est was retarded by the sensational
advance.
July wheat showed particular
strength on covering, and closed pa
cents higher than last night. while Feb
higher; May closing officially at l cent
advance.
