trick, designed TO create the Impression
that the ineurgents were eunreasonable.
From his standpoint nothing short OF
Independence Will satisfy the cubans.
Ono OF the Ambassadors at Washington
pointed out to-day that the influence OF
the pope was relied upon to a consld-
cradle extent with the Insurgents, as
they are q part, Of q country which Is
thoroughly Catholic and loyal 10 Rome.
While the influence OF the great powers
is not likely to be eXerted in any mate
rial way against the Insurgents, yet
this influence will be brought to'bear as
far as possible from every moral stand
point. The influence OF the United
States government also will be avery
material factor in case the present
crlsl. between the United States and
accepted in Washington as q tentative
ground OF the solution OF the Cuban
problem.
q The attitude OF congress on the gem,
eral subject Is problematic. During re-
cent days the feeling in both houses has
been Intense and II remains to be seen
whether'the changed conditions brought
about by the tarmistlce will suffice 10
allayk this feeling. Resolutions author
,iz!ng Intervention are already prepared
but these were framed when diplomatic
negotiations were In q deadlock. t
D Diplomatic circles In Washington were
kecnly interested In the change brought
about by spain's grant OF nm armistice.
The ambassadors and ministers e1-
changed calls and there was q general
exchange OF congratulations, as!t was
felt that the armistice at least gave
them time for calmer counc!ls

OIL NEWS.
From Thursdays Daily.


Yesterday was unexpected to many
of the producers, yet its object has
been we'll defined. The Standard
is making a last desperate attempt
to shake the credit balances which
the producer has accumulated
pending an advance. Every pro-
Queer today possessed with any
degree of knowledge of the true
state of affairs, is fully aware that
the cut yesterday came from no
natural causes. They are conf
dent that they are playing a win
ming game by holding their credit
balances, and it is far better in
vestment than drilling in the hope
of swelling their daily output. The
manipulations of the market should
cause no stampede, and, if possible,
it should be the means of making
them more resolute in their deter
mination to hold on.
There is nothing in sight to
cause even the slightest uneasiness.
The summer is far advanced, no
new pools have been discovered
and there is no likelihood of any
new pools being tapped the re.
mainder Of the summer.
If an experienced oil producer
should start out today with the
fixed purpose in view of securing
some IS barrel oil territory, where
will he find ii? Price is no consid-
Grafton. Where can rs or even 10
barrel producing territory be found?
Will some good man who is famil-
lar with oil developments of Penn
sylvania and West Virginia inform
us where such territory may be
found?
How many producers who sold
their producing properties to the
Standard Oil company have sue
ceeded in again finding remuner-
alive investment in new territory !?
We will venture to say not one in
fifty, no, not one in hundred.
A we'll informed oil man from
this city has just returned from the
deep sand developments of Tyler
and Wetzel counties. He reports
considerable work under way
around Stringtown and at Piney
Fork. Outside of this everything
everywhere is very dull. At Smith
field operations are at standstill;
at Campbells run and in Marion
county a similar state of things
exist.
In other parts of the southwest
field the situation is familiar to all.
Not since the winter of 81 has the
outlook been so discouraging.
There are but few test wells going
down and that few is being drilled
from "hand to mouth" fashion.
THE LACY WELL.
The most important we'll now
drilling in the limits of Tyler coun-
| ty, or even in the southwest field,
| is the we'll that is being drilled on
the T. S. Lacy farm, by Shannon
& McCutcheon. This we'll is To-
Gated on a direct line between the
old Sistersville pool and Elk Fork,
on the small creek known as Dry
run. Mr.. McCutcheon informs us
that the sand should be reached by
the end of the week. Lease-s are
busy, and all available territory is
being taken within a radius OF
several miles, at fancy prices.

that "old Tyler" is one of the pos

hong hOuS, july q" Ahe oeS
ond expedition from San Francisco
commanded by Brigadier General
F. V. Green, has arrived at Man
lila, bringing 3,4oo more men to
Admiral Dewey. On the way from
Honolulu troops were landed at
Wake island, midway between the
Hawaiian islands and the Philip,
pines and the American flag was
raised. Wake island was one OF
the Spanish possessions. The ex-
petition consists of four armed
transports, the China, the Zealan
der, the Colon and the Senator.
The China arrived on the sixteenth
and the other three day later.
Lieut.. Lazell and Private Mad
dox, of the eighteenth infantry,
Sergeant Geddes, of the first Ne
braska, and Musician Wise, of the
first Colorado, died in voyage and
were buried at sea. The health OF
the troops is excellent after their
long voyage of a month and five
days, broke only by sho1t rest
ashore at Honolulu. The roster OF
the troops shows $3.50 men and
1868 officers made up as follows:
Tenth Pennsylvania, First Colo
RADIO and First Nebraska, volun-
teers; one battalion each of the
eighteenth and twenty-third infant
ry, a detachment of the engineer
corps and batteries A and B, Utah
artillery, besides staff officers, sur
geons, hospital corps men and post
Office employees.
This brings the army at manila
up to six thousand men.
The Sultan and Our Missionaries.
The Porte has demanded the re:
call of two American missionaries
from the province of Aleppo, on the
pretext that their mission fo- distrl
button of relief is likely to cause
disturbances. "The sick man Of
Europe" as he is derisively termed,
is as unreasonable as his political
health is feeble. AS bright con-
trast to his obstinacy and stupidity
the people of America are acknow,
ledgeing far and wide the benef'
cence of the mission of Hostetter's
Stomache Bitters, namely, to rel
ieve and prevent malaria, rheuma
tism and kidney complaint chronic
dyspepsia, constipation and liver
trouble. The nervous, the weak
and the infrm derive unspeakable
benefit from its use, and it greatly
mitigates those inhrmities specially
incident to advancing years. SLEEP
appetite, and a sensation of com
fort throughout the system, ensue
upon its use, which should be reg
ular and persistant. An early re
sort to this fine preventive is logic
al suggested to those who seek it:
