DISTRESS AMONG CUBANS
Nunez Says Spaniards Tried to Keep Sup
plies Away From Them to
Breed Dissension.

WILMINGTON, Sept. 6.-General Nunez
of the Cuban army has returned to
Washington, having been on an expedi-
ton which took supplies to the Cubans.
He left this country before the war was
closed and landed at several points and
delivered his supplies.
General Nunez reports a great deal of
distress among the Cubans. General
Nunez says that one reason why the
Spaniards are making it difficult to sup
ply food to the Cubans is that they
want to compel the latter to take pro-
visions by sforce and thus create dis
turbances and trouble and stir up strife
between the Americans and Cubans,
which will tend to discredit them.

vember they were but $579, ,844, ,153,
 while those of the corresponding months of 1897 were $691 0S9, ,266, and
 those Of the eleven months of 1896, I S622, ,598,89e. It is thus apparent that
 the imports fer the full calendar year | 1898 will not exceed S640,000 900, sum
 less than that of any calendar year
 since 1885, and fully 8 hundred million
 less than that of the calendar year 1897
 With the largest exports in our history
 and the smallest imports in many
 years, the year 1898 will naturally
 show the largest balance of trade in
 our favor ever presented in any calen-
 dar year. The figures for the eleven months show an excess of exports over imports, amounting to. $537, ,837 ,046, and 1t Is quite apparent that the December figures will bring the total excess of ex- portS for the calendar year above the six hundred million dollar line, mak- ing an average excess of exports for the year more than 50,00O,0O0 a month, while the highest excess of exports in any preceding calendar year was S357,- 090, ,914 in 1897, and $324 ,263, ,6S5 in 1896
 With the largest exports of merchan- disc in our history and smallest i'm ports in many years comes the largest importation Of gold in any calendar year. The gold imports for the eleven months ending with November. are, in round terms, $15O,O00, ,G00, the accurate figures being s149, ,396,37O while no full calendar year save 1896 ever reached the hundred million dollar line, and in that year 5,he ,otal for the twelve months was but $104,731,2 ,259 against $149, ,396,37 for the eleven months of 1898. The effect of this large importa- tion of gold in conjunction with the increased production from our own l mines, is plainly visible in the in- creased circulation of that metal The | gold in circulation on December 1, 1898, 1 was $65S, ,986,5 against $544, 4,494,748 on i December 1. 1897; $516. .729, 1882 on De cember 1, 1896, and $456,12S, ,4S3 on.

PROBABLE PERJURER
First Witness in inc Defense
 of Mrs. BOfkin.
A Physician InjureS Her Cause in an Awkward Effort to Build Up an EIibi for inc Prisoner.

] San Francisco, Dec. 22.-The defense
 of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin for the murder
 of Mrs. John P Cunning commenced
 today, but the progress made in the 1 breaking down of the case of the pros ecution was very slight. Dr. George M. Tyrell was the principal witness ot the defense today. Dr. Tyrel1, how ever, was so uncertain in his testimony and contradicted himself so often that
 he did the defense but little good. He testified that he visited Mrs. Botkfn on Sunday afternoon, July 31, between the hours of and 5 o'clock and treated her for headache. This is the time and date sworn to by Misses Heney and D1tmarr, of the Haas candy store, when they sold Mrs. Botkin a box of chocolate bon-bons. Dr. Tyrell, for some reason made no entry in his visit ing book and rendered no bill for ser vices to Mrs. Botkin He could not specify the time of his visit better than between 3 and o'clock in the after noon.' When questioned regarding arsenical poisoning the attorney for the prosecution made it very clear that Dr.. Tyrell knew little, if anything, about arsenic
 Mrs Botkin was called to the stand at a late hour this afternoon. She told of her acquaintance with Cunning, denying many of his statements She also denied much of the testimony of Miss Livernash, reporter. who testi- fled to the hySterical condition of Mrs Botkin when informed of Mrs. Dun ning's death, and of several incrimi- mating admissions made by Mrs. Bot kin in interviews with her. She de nied ever having purchased candy from Haas or that she ever purchased handkerchief Of the City of Paris store. She will continue her testimony tomor- row

GIANT RAFTS PROPOSED
A French Idea For InsurIng inc Lives
 of Transatlantic Passengers.

Paris, Dec. 22-In connection with the construction of new French trans atlantic liners, to run between Havre and New York, the French govern ment is being urged to test practically a plan to place two great well equipped rafts, so constructed that they cannot be submerged, on each ship. These rafts would be used as shade decks, and in the event of ships sinking, as the La Bourgogne did, the passengers would have prospect of being saved
 The French experts who present this scheme would make the raft to be car ried forward eighty-two feet long, twenty-three feet wide externally and nineteen feet wide internally The after raft would be 100 feet long and of the same widths as the forward raft The two rafts would temporarily ac- commodate 2,000 persons.

Success of tte Efforts 10 Fit Up an

Washington, Dec. 22.-Quartermaster General Ludingron is highly pleased at the success attending the effort to pro- vide specially fitted transports for the army, as shown in the case of the Mo bile. A telegram was received today from Colonel Durbin, the offic er in com mand of the 1,800 troops on the Mobile, announcing the arrival of the ship at Havana and saying: Delightful trip. Service ample. Administration perfect" :"
 Another telegram came from Colonel Reid, the commissary officer, as fol- lows
 Very successful voyage. Have ca blcd the quartermaster general recom- mending necessary additions to be made to the commissary department"
 The Mobile is the first of the gov eTnmelt transports to be specially fit ted out for the transportation Of troops. the government being obliged during the war to take freight steamers and other craft never designed for such use By remodeling the inside arrangements Of one of the largest Of these at a cost of about S100,000 the war department now possesses a transport capable of twice as many troops as she could accommodate before. while af- fording much more room for each sol dier. Her sister ship is now at Cramps being fitted out as was the Mobile, and the two ships will probably be sent to Manila via Suez, about the first of the year.

 Did l see any results of the war? Yes, In the sudden and great revival Jf trade which is now brisk in America. Beyond that not a great deal That seemed to be the direct result In deed, it is surprising how little inn pression the war has made on the minds and condition of the people of America. They hardly talk of il at all. The people give you ihe idea that they have turned down a page of Spanish history for good.
 What did l find to be the American attitute toward England? Not greatly unlike it was three years ago. Ger tainly no such extraordinary change in national sentiment appears to have passed over America as that which we have lately experienced in Eneland. Nobody on the ether side Of the ocean calls for an Anglo-American al- liance, whether in the form of a treaty or of an understanding. Nobody talks of it, and I doubt if 1t has ever i'm pressed itself on the American mind as 3 serious idea at all'

 unable tho United States to fulfill it's obligations in the West Indies and in 1 the Philippines. The members of the
 Cuban evacuation commission, Gener-
 als Wade and Butler and Admiral
 Sampson have reported unanimously that 50,000 men will be none too many i to keep the peace in Cuba, and the re-
 cent outbreaks in Havana show what 1 justification there is for that opinion. Generals Merritt and Otis are agreed that not man less than 25,000 must bs provided for the Philippines. Porto
 Rico demands 5000 and a sufficient garrison must also be maintained in the Hawaiian Islands and cn the island of Guam in the Ladrones.
 Sixty-two thousand men will not, therefore prove sufficient properly to guard cur territory abroad, and if made ti1 go as far in that direction as they will, the ordinary military duties at home, garrisoning posts and man ming coast batteries, would have to bo entrusted to the volunteers, who. as it is, can be retained in the service after the peace treaty Gaas been ratified only by extra legal means.

Washington, D5c. 22.-Acccrding to
 information which has reached the re-
 publican leaders of the snate, a coali
 ton among the anti-republican forces Of that body has been formed with the
 object, as one Of the leaders expressed
 it today, Of giving the administ, ation
 as much trouble as possible in carry ing out the new expansion policy. This coalition may not held together in op- position to all the republican policies, and, indesds is confidently expected to disintegrate when the question of Iati- flying the treaty of peace comes up, a question which is now expected will secure the affirmative votes of not only a sufficient number Of democrats and SilVeriteS, but also Of all republicans, including Senators Hear and Ha.e. But the coalition is formidably united in purpose to defeat the proposed leg islation for an increase of the regular army to 100000 men, as recommended by the war department and by all tIc higher military authorities, and also to prevent it's reorganization. The most that these opposition forces are will ling to agree to, according to the un- derstanding of the republican leaders, is the maintenance of the regular army at it's present strength Cf 62,000
 That such is the intention of he cen trolling forces of dta senate has be- come apparent to army officers who have appeared before the senate d-Gn- on military affairs and ap- and these officers sharn the fears cf the republican leaders tha> only by the pressure of vigorously ex- pressed public opinion can this inten- ton be defeated and the army placed upon a basis which will enable the to redeem it's pledg to the inhabitants of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. According to the
