THE trade reviews continue to reiter.
ate their oft repeated statements to The
effect that the business and Industries OF
the country have improved and are
constantly improving. If anybody
takes enough interest in these state

be correct or not, he can readily satisfy
himself by simply looking at the bust

OF bonds. I'VE find" said he, that the ex-
penditures of the war, while enormous, will
not aggregate as much as was believed when
the bond issues were authorized in the war
revenue bill. On the other hand, We find
that the receipts from the war revenue bill
are fsr SURPRISING our expectations. The re-
ceipts from the Dingey tariff law, too, have
been greater than we expected they would be
during the war. Hence 1t will not be neces-
sary for Us to issue any more bonds.

1t has developed that yesterdays ses-
sion was of far greater Importance than
was at first generally supposed. 1t re-

term of years the ships of that country
and its products be admitted to Cuba

regulations and tariffs as American
ships and products. The Spanish com
mission for some days had been playing
for this.

locomotive Struck Him.

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 6.-Samuel P.
Flint, assistant superintendent of the
railway mail service, was struck by 10.
comotive at Fourteenth and Franklin
streets, and received injuries which
proved fatal. He had just returned
from Los Angeles and was on his way
home across the track when the accident
occurred. He was thrown about fifteen
feet and his head was badly cut. He
fingered in much pain for several hours
before he died.,
Mr.. Flint had been long in the gov
ernment employ, and was well known
throughout the Pacific coast states.

territory, giving it legislative, executive
and judicial officers. A governor, sec
retary of the territory, United States
district judge, United States district at
torney and United States marshal are to
be appointed by the president and an
internal revenue district and a custom
district are created.
Probably the most important portion
of the bill is section 4, defining citizen

sons, including Portuguese and persons
of African descent, and all persons de-
scending from the Hawaiian race on
either paternal or maternal side who

ton in the Caroline islands, religious
tolerance in the Carolines and release of
political prisoners. The Spaniards were
unwilling to answer these points until
they heard what the Americans proposed
to do for their industries which had
been built up by the Cuban and Porto
Rican trade.
This is why Spain contends that the
articles of the treaty should be disposed
of in their order, while the Americans
wanted first to settle their pressing
needs. The session yesterday was prac-
tically fight on the order of proceed ure.
Finally the Americans yielded and then
the Spaniards proposed the shipping
ana commercial contentious which the
Americans rejected in its entirety. The
session then adjourned, with neither
side in an especially amica BILE frame of
mind.
1t Is learned that there were differ
ences of opinion among the Americans
on the shipping question, and numer-
GUS kilograms were exchanged with
Washington. Finally the American
commission was instructed to refuse,
the principal reason being that Porto
Rico is about to be declared within the
coast limit of the United States, while
as regards Cuba, authorities at Wash
ington would make no promises, as the
American occupation there is not fixed
and the future Cuban government will
make its own treaties. Exactly what
Spain requested was that her ships and
products should be accorded the same
privileges in Cuba and Porto Rico for
a period of ten years as had been con-
ceded to Spain IN the Philippines.
When the commissioners emerged
from the foreign Office this evening af-
ter long session, Judge Day announced
all requests had been settled and that
the treaty would be signed in three or
four days.

with the text of bills drawn by the COM

SENATOR SIMON
STILL STANDS
No Vacant Seat Has Been Found For
Him on the Republican Side in
the Senate

New York, Dec. GA special to the
Herald from Washington:
When Joseph Simon, the new senator
from Oregon, was formally sworn into
Office, he found that there was no seat
for him in the senate.
After ne had qualified, signed the roll
and received congratulations, he was
turned over to the sergeant-at. .arms,
who was expected to provide him with a
desk and seat. The senatorship in Ore
gon has been vacant so long that in the
arrangements of seats no place was
made for Senator Simon on the Repub-
side side of the chambers.
The new senator resented the sugges-
ton that he sit on the Democratic side.
The Republican senators consulted and
1t was suggested that Senate Butler, the
Populist from North Carolina, might be
willing to move over to the Democratic
side. The North Carolina man had
tried that side early in the day, and was
stung by chance remark that in view
of the race troubles in his state he would
hereafter identify himself with the
Democratic party, so he refused to give
up his present seat, and Senator Simon
is still unseated.

States has renounced this option ''inasmuch
as America and Spain were the only nations
that maintained the option at the Congress
of Paris, 1856 The paper insists that "All
the arguments then adduced by the United
States for upholding the option now are
in favor of Spain, who will not renounce
it" FL Epoca says also that Spain does not
consider fair the declaration of the neutral
powers as to contraband of war; thus fa-
America and it cites the case cf England
in 1886, which opposed stoutly the action of
France in the Tonquin war in declaring rice
contraband, although rice was then con-
sidered in the China districts as money and
currency to pay taxes. '"All that England
then alleged in favor of breadstuffs," says
Eel Epoca, ''can be urged by Spain respect
dustry without which modern warfare is
impossible"
Respecting the blockade of Cuba Ell Epoca
calls to mind and invites the attention of
Europe TO the fact that 'both America and
Spain accepted Clause in the declaration
of Paris providing that "A blockade must
be effective and not on paper" FL Epoca
declares: Twice the present American
feet would be inadequate to establish an eff
fective blockade of Cuba. Moreover, under
the established rules, blockade requires a
previous notification to the authorities of
Cuba and the powers, allowing all shipping
a definite term to clear out of the blockaded
ports''

MUTINY OF ENGINEERS.
Why the Spanish Torpedo FIOtiIIa
Was DelaNed at the Canaries.


Was Delayed at the Canaries.
GALVESTON, Tex, April 22-The British
steamer Asloun, Capt. P. H. Barnett, ar
rived this morning from Las Palmas,
Grand Canary, one of the Canary island
group. Captain Barnett arrived at Las
Palmas March 81, two days after the Span
ish torpedo fiotilla left that port He was
reliably informed that the machinery of the
several torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers were purposely disabled in pursu-
apce of a plot by the engineers. They did
not relish the trip across the ocean in tor
pedo boats, and, finding the Spanish govern
ment determined to make them go, as last
resort crippled the machinery. None of the
engineers We're allowed to repair it, the
work being done by a local machine shop at
Las Palmas Captain Barnett says the tor
pedo fiotilla did not want to encounter a
United States fleet if it could be avoided.
They will likely keep out of the track of
our vessels, and may content themselves
with picking up an occasional prize. The
torpedo fiotilla left Las Palmas March 20,
and its destination was unknown.
A disabled American barkentine at Las
Palmas, from Philadelphia, was undergoing
repairs by Spanish dry dock men, but the
latter were delaying the work in the hope
of seizing her upon the outbreak of war.
Her captain is Mr.. McDonough. He car
ried crew of nine and had his wife with
him. Great crowds of Spaniards would
gather about the American craft, hurl vile
epithets at the crew and captain and insult
the United States and it's flag. The only
Americans at Las Palmas are the Ameri-
can captain and those aboard his ship
Captain Barnett expresses fears for their
safety.
While there 5000 troops arrived to pro-
tect it from invasion. A lot of fine guns for
coast defense also arrived, but were not
mounted. A big Spanish steamer with
troops on board took on a large quantity of
coal. She remained at Las Palmas but one
day and left Immediately westward. He
learned that another Spanish vessel was to
arrive within two days to take on coal
She was said to have on board number of
Spanish volunteers destined for Cuba.
