The announcer said that the doctors who
examined Roeber had declared him to he lu

that the referee had finally decided to award

who surprised the Spanish troops Cat of a

OF hostilities would seriously affect New
York, Madrid would be much worse off.
1t would mean tine Immediate suspension
of specie payments and either the suspen-
sion OF interest On the debt or paper pay
nent. The financial crisis would react oh
Paris with the probable effect of throw
ing the whole of New York's demand for
gold on London and SO indirectly affecting
the prices of all securities. Then, contin-
uing, the Stats remarks:
The government is indebted to the Bank
Of Spain between eleven and twelve hum
million more than in 1897. and the position
OF that bank is such that the suspension
OF specie payments is bound to follow any
issue of notes.
According to Madrid advices the papers
there are whisting loudly, trying to arouse
sense OF wrong with the doctrine that
warSse facto was declared when the United
States" permilted support to be furnished
to the insurgents
Early during the week strict censorship
in the newspapers created some alarm. This
was enhanced by tae suppression of all
news of movements of the Spanish torpedo
flotilla and the announcement that a
cruiser would accompany the destroyers,
which was taken to mean that the Span
iards feared attempts would be made by
the United States to stop the flotilla on its
way to Puerto Rico.
Great interest is taken in the elections
tomorrow for members of the Spanish
chamber of deputies. 1t is reported that
General Weyler has telegraphed to his
friends in Cuba to withdraw their candi-
dates for seats in the Cuban chamber.
Mystery mongering is still the chief
stock in trade Of the foreign office but It's
big words and actions no longer satisfy the
public, and conservatives and liberals are
equally alarmed at the apparent failure OF
British diplomacy in China, where Great
Britain's open door" has been slammed In
her face Unless the government early In
the week clearly outlines its position, 1t
will probably be compelled TO take the
country into its confidence by motion for
the adjournment OF the house OF commons,
which many unionists will support.

While the spring of 1898 was
unusually early, it has been much
retarded by the prevalence of
chilly weather after its opening.
So remarkably slow has the de-
velopment been that trees which
opened their leaves more than
two weeks ago have since made
no progress, and on many varieties,
such as pecans, walnuts and some
oak trees, the leaves are just be-
ginning ITO appear. The long spell
of chilly weather, with several
frosts, was great disadvantage to
fruit, causing peaches and figs to
shed badly. The frosts complete
ly killed cotton wherever it was
up, and such crops have had to be
replanted. While there seems
but little disposition to curtail cot
ton acreage, great deal of corn
will be planted, and more than
ordinary attention paid to the pro-
duction of food stutfs.
