out OF the 1900 900 bales produced by
the whole world, the Union alone con-

Its output OF coal In 1897 reached 1885,

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Sept 2l.-con-
spI.General Mason sends from Frank
fort the following translation of an
article in the Frankfurter zeitung, Of
August 20. 1893: IN
"The conclusion Of peace which ends
the spanlsh-AmerlcanS war marks a
new epoch in history, not only for the
limited states. but likewise for Europe.
The United States has taken an import
ant step toward the exclusive control Of

reached beyond that and claimed its
share In the conduct Of the worlds af-
fairs Since 1t now controls the West
Indies, the construction OF the Near
sruan Canal will be no longer delayed.
Then will the eastern and western por-
,Ions Of the union be brought into closer
relations. which will be Of important
significance, not only for the commerce.
but for the naval power of the United
States.

with what force and energy the I'M
ION enters upon its rIahttul position
among the controlling nations OF the
world, will be shown bF glance at its
material resources and productive ca
paclty. There Is, first, the fact that IN
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898, the
union had a surplus OF exports over I'M
ports amounting to 2,5OO000,OOO marks
1885 900 OOO), while all the European ma
lions show a more or less important de-
ficIt in their balance OF trade-Gecmany
about 7oo, 600 900 marks tSlG6,6Q ,Q0Ol and
England about 2,4O0,000,0OO marks

e1ually instructive. John Shafroth, In
his speech before the house OF repre-
sentat!ves on the 26th Of May last gave
the following statistical data:
I'm the year 1890, the property OF the
United States was valued ut S62OOO'OOO,-

of the supplies to the institutions of the
city Six or eight policemen were required
to keep the crowds in order.
In the last communication of the series
from Mr.. Hyatt, dated March "A last, he
says. Property holders, without distinc-
ton of nationality and with few exceptions,
strongly desire annexation having but little
hope of q stable government under either
of the contepding forces, and they view
with regret the indifference, nay, repug-
nance, of the American people to annexa-
ton, and still hope that a combination of
circumstances will yet bring it about, but
such a move would not be popular among
the masses"
Referring to the primary election held on
the previous Sunday to hold an election on
the 9th of the same month Mr. Hyatt says
that no one seemed to know anything about
it until it over, and the autonomists
won the election. "A member of that par
ty,' he said, told me that they met quiet
" ard did their voting. There is no evil
dence that the people in general intended
to take any part in the coming election.
Circulars are now out urging the people TO
turn out and sustain the government to the
end that peace and prosperity may speedily
come"
Mr.. Hyatt states in this communication
that some of the sugar estates are now
making sugar on a small scale, but there
was no ground for faith in their ability to
go ahead Mr.. Hyatt makes reference to
the military operations in eastern Cuba in
many places, but does not attempt to go
into these in detail. In one portion of his
correspondence he refers to the efforts Of a
Mr. Rigny, an American sugar planter near
Manzarilla, to prepare for cane grinding
during the coming season. Americans We're
hopeful that they would be allowed to make
their crop, but the action of the insurgents
towards Mr.. Rigny gives the problem a
doubtful ASPECT as they would not permit
him to grind.

women and the Labor Movement.

John F. iowa, vice consul at Sagua la
Grande, under date of Nov. II, 1897, gives
his view of the autonomist policy prom
Used by Spain. He takes strong grounds
against it, saying that an autonomist party
in that district could not exist After CIV
ing some of his reasons he says: Taking
all these facts into consideration it is hard
to see in what way Spain is going to estab-
fish system. 1t will always be without a
stable foundation and maintained by very
infirm, insignificant auxiliary. In the mean
time the reconcentrados, a majority OF
whom were innocent persons who had no
more aspirations than to till their little
farms, continue perishing. 1t is impossible
10 describe the extent and intensity of such
tremendous suffering, of such iniquitous,
unjust and sinful inquisition to annihilate
those women and children. If this Goddess
sented it would seem an eXaggeration, in
duced by stirred fellow feeling, with sensi-
bll1ty of heart. Moving. among the unceaS-
ing crowd of furnished beggars, one can
scarcely do more than commisserate the
undeserved misfortunates. No history of
the world, ancient or modern, records any
thing like this frightful suffering Perhaps
civilization has not seen it's like. In con-
cluS1on l beg to state in my humble judg-
ment the efforts toward the enforcement
of the reform of autonomy will prove alto
gether futile
