as the supply Of logs is drawn from
northern Ontario, if the supply is shut
out it will drive trade to Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The value Of the output Of
the Michigan lumber business is $4O0,.
O0,0O0 annually. Thus it will readily
be seen that the loss OF this industry will
mean a big thing to the state.
So it would seem the lumber kings OF

FIGURES FOR BUSINESS MEN.

The assessed valuation ofproperty
in the United States, as shown by
the census of 1890, was SOS, ,473, 49,
AIS; the actual value, estimated at
$40, 25O, 100000 This was increas-
at least 10 per cent in 1891 and 1892
but since the repeal of the Sherman
law in 1898 there has been a de-
crease in the value of all kinds Of
property, theaverage being estimat-
ed at 80 to 45 per cent. Say that
the decrease has been only 25 per
cent and we find that it amounts to
ell, ,O6s, 75O,O or enough to pay,
not only the national debt OF the
United States, but enough to pay,
also, the debts of England, Ger
many and France. Still there are
men in this country, even in Can
ton, who favor a continuation of
the policy, that has caused such
depreciation in values.

THE OLD STORY.

Madrid, July 19.-The papers announce
that the cabinet council yesterday was
occupied with the capitulation of Santi.
ago de Cuba. Ministers expressed sur
prise that Gen. Toral had included the
whole military division of the province
in the surrender, and Captain General
Blanco has been asked to send details.
When these have been received the ques-
tion of court martial of Gen. Toral will
be submitted.
Ell impartial learns from several mem
bers of the cabinet that in their opinion
for Spain to sue now for peace would be
an avowal that she Is vanquished. More
over, they believe that the United States.
fattered by their triumph of Santiago.
would only consent to peace on UNEQUAL
terms, and that therefore it is preferable
to continue the war in the hope of recon.
quering portion of the lost territory.

THE CAPTURED GUNS.

| Washington, July l9.-The ordnance
department of the war department is con.
stdering what to do with the large guam.
tity of arms, ammunition, for.ifcation
guns AMI ordnance stores which have
come into the possession of this govern.
ment, through the surrender at Santiago
Gen. Shafter reports that about 1000
Mauser rifles were turned over the first
day, and the number will probably reach
10000 when the troops at other points
in. the surrendered zone turn in their
|guns.
1he reports made before the surrender
indicated that the Mausers held by the
Spanish troops were not in very good
condition. The guns were all right when
furnished, but the poor care they received
principally from the volunteers, left
many OF them rusty and defective.
Ordinance officials believe, however, that
the greater part of the guns can be nut
in first class order. The ordnance off GERS
expect to make very little use of the old
fertilization guns mounted in Moro cas-
tile, Socapa, Cayo Smith and other forts
along Santiago harbor. These, 1t has
developed since the capture, are guns of
Anticipated pattern. most of them muzzle-
leaders. 1t is said that they would not
be worth bringing back to the United
States except as souvenirs of the fall of
Santiago. For the present they proba bly,
will be retained at the forts for since
they have proved sufficiently effective to
make showing against the big Ameri-
can fleet they will suffice for the present
passive condition of affairs.

dore Watson, says:
sit is taken for granted that America
will punotiliously observe the obligations
Of international law. There will therefore
be no legal ground for European protests,
and intervention without legal justifica-
ton is practically excluded by the GER
tainty that Great Britain will support the
United States, while the powers are not
likely to risk fastening the conclusion of
an Anglo-American alliance by any at.
tempt to hinder or coerce the Unite d
States. Disappointment with the policy
of the Spanish government is growing
here, and it is beginning to be bell eyed
that Spain can only be convinced of the
absolute necessity of suing for peace by
fresh disasters. A great surprise was &C.
casioned here by the news that the odds
at Santiago were largely on the side of
the Spaniards. -

Ten thousand stands of arms, he says,
was taken at Santiago, and about ten
million rounds Of ammunition.
Secretary Alger said this afternoon that
it Is expected that the total number of
Spanish soldiers who will have to be
transported to Spain will reach %, 900
as estimated by Gen. Shafter, as Gen.
Toral's report did not cover quite all the
soldiers who would be turned over. The
secretary says the military governor of
Santiago had not yet been defnitly set
tied.
The war department has received a de-
spatch from Gen. Shafter saying that the
roster of prisoners was handed in YES
terday afternoon by Gen. Toral, and that
tho total is 2,7sO men. Gen. Skaters
despatch added that the prisoners turned
over to him far exceeded in numbers the
strength of his own army.

Spaniards. A bid has come to the de-
partment from one of the big foreign
steamship lines. proposing to carry IS, :
900 men from Santiago to Cadiz for the
lump sum of $4,000 pounds. Any in
crease or diminution in the number will
