STRIKE AT CRITICAL STAGE.
There is But Little Change on the Surface
in the Strike Towns.

There is But Little Change on the Surface
in the Strike Towns.
A special from Boston says: While
on the surface the strike situation in
the cotton industry shows little change,
there is apparently an undercurrent OF
unrest which denotes that the strain,
on the employees side at least, is be-
ginning to be surely felt. The joint
committee on behalf of the strikers at
New Bedford issued an appeal for
financial assistance and at Biddeford
arrangements are being made for the
issuance of soup to the non-union help
out of work.
The strike at Fall River appears also
to be advancing toward critical stage,
and the minor strikes which have oc-
Cured there lead to the belief that the
labor leaders may not be able to hold
back the operatives in that city, and
that break may occur there at any
time which will not only affect the
80, 900 employees in that city, but every
mill city in New England. The strike
among the spoilers at the Narraganset
mill in Fall River shows the growing
sentiment in that city.

HITS SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT.
Indications That the President is Prepar-
ing for War with Spain.

Indications That the President is Prepar-
ing for War with Spain.
The high water mark in Cuban ex-
citement was reached Thursday at
Washington. The debate on the Cuban
subject was of little importance in
comparison with the interest attached
to the words uttered by Chairman Hit,
of the foreign affairs committee, Thurs
day afternoon, when considered along
with the orders given by Secretary
Long. Mr.. Hit made the following
remarks:
"When you know the critical events
that are passing; when you think of
the vast responsibility that rests upon
the executive, and which does not rest
upon us; while we are making speeches
to get applause, when we remember
the immediate and grave consequences
to ensue, we can feel the strong assur-
ancs that we have a faithful, able
captain at the helm; that the ship may
be near the rapids, but his hand is firm
and his eye sure. We should all of MS
be ready to do our duty like patriotic
Americans, standing firmly behind the
president, when he takes a step neces-
sary for the vindication of the honor
and protection of the interests of our
country, step made necessary by
duty in view of the troubles, the con-
fusion the distinctions and the hope
less condition of things in the island
90 adjacent to our shore.
General Lee, an officer Of expert
ence and ability, is at Havana in con-
slant communication with the presi-
dent, and our great ships are not far
away. They ought not to be far off at
such time. 1t is not proper to an
ticipate or pretend to have knowledge
Of particular events or intentions, in
the future, but I am sure that all
Americans who love their country
can be relied on to stand by the presi-
dent when he may take the next step
before him in pursuance OF the same
line which he has followed in the last
eight months"
This statement would not have been
of such paramount interest had it not
become known that the navy depart.
ment had telegraphed and cabled,
putting every ship and cruiser under
emergency orders.
Secretary Long revoked the order
for the Nashville to proceed to the
European squadron. He stopped the
Helena by cable, which is now on its
way to China. He cabled Commodore
Dewey to hold the Asiatic squadron
prepared to return to this country by
the shortest route, which means that
each ship must be heavily laden with
coal.
The present uneasiness may serve to
be only another war scare, yet it would
not surprise any one to hear that a
declaration of war was made at any
moment over the Cuban question.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Volume of Business is Remark
able for the Time of the Year.
FLATTER|NG OUTLOOK FOR STEEL TRADE.
Exception of the Cotton Industry, is
One of Exceptional Strength-De-
crease in Business Failures.
Bradstreet's weekly review of trade

Bradstreet's weekly review of trade
says:
A large measure of activity in busi-
ness and industrial lines, while, in
in some instances, previous records
have been passed and very general
steadiness in prices of staples, is per
haps the most notable feature of the
trade situation this week. Quotations
of cereals show the most aggressive
strength, while those of some makes
of pig iron betray rather more de-
cided weakness than they did week
ago. Mild weather is frequently mon
toned as an influence tending to check
retail distribution of seasonable goods,
chiefly because of the effect on coun-
try roads. Spring trade opens slowly,
as usual at this time OF the year, but
confidence is still unimpaired. AS
already intimated, the immense cur
rent production of pig iron, amount
ing to fully one million tons per
month, has begun to exercise an in
fuence upon the price of that staple,
but decreases reported are still only
fractional. The outlook in the steel
rail trade is reported as fattering
one. Higher prices for wool abroad,
based partly on short yield reports,
are reflected in the firmness of domes-
tic quotations.
The industrial situation, with the
single exception of the cotton indus
try, is one of exceptional strength.
AS yet the strikes in this branch of
trade, however, are largely confined
to Massachusetts,. Mems wear wool
ems are moving fairly we'll. At the
west distributive trade is slowly i'm
proving, while at the south fair Jan
uary trade is reported, particularly in
the Mississippi valley. Good returns
from last years Louisiana sugar crop
find expression in higher prices for
sugar lands. The good export de-
mand for cotton precludes too heavy
accumulation at primary points in
spite of the crop movement.
Total shipments of wheat, -four in
cluded, from the United States and
Canada amounted to 1926, 900 bush
els, against 2,916,0OO bushels year
ago. Indian corn exports were 8, 1885,,
900 bushels this week, against $500,
last year.
A further falling off in the number
of business failures is reported in the
United States this week, the total
being only 800, against 323 last year
and 429 year ago.

SPANISH CAPTURE CUBAN CAPITAL
Insurgents Are Said to Have Lost Their
Governmental Home.

Insurgents Are Said to Have Lost Their
Governmental Home.
According to information from Span
ish sources at Havana, Gen. Castel-
!ano, being aware that the insurgent
government was established at Ezper-
anza, seventeen leagues from Puerto
Principe, at the extreme west end of
the Cubitas ridge, proceeded in that
direction with 1900 infantry, 400 cav
airy and two field cannon. After a
three days trying ma ch he forced a
difficult position and overcame the
obstinate resistance OF LOCO insur-
gents, pursuing them six miles and
destroying and burning the houses at
Esperanza, including the insurgent
government buildings.
On the following day Gen. Castel-
Iano engaged the reunited insurgents,
$500 strong, near Esperanza, routing
them after two hours combat. The
insurgents left fifty-seyen dead on
the field The Spanish lost five killed
and thirty-one wounded, among the
latter being Lieut.. Col. Perez Monte.
The insurgents, under Monteagudo,
attacked the town of Esperanza, Santa
Clara, but were repulsed, leaving nine
dead.

SENATOR WHITE CHOSEN
A Chairman of the New Democratic Con-
gressional Committee.

As Chairman of the New Democratic Con-
gressional Committee.
The new democratic congressional
committee at Washington Thursday
night elected as chairman Senator
White, of California. Senator White
was supported by the friends of Rep
resentative Bailey who we're favorable
to that gentleman's candidacy in case
the next house is democratic.
An unexpected dark horse developed
in Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, who
was defeated by Senator White by the
narrow margin of 18 to Is. The meet
ing adopted resolution reaffirming its
adherence to the Chicago platform.
The election of Senator White is re-
garded as adistinct triumph by the
silver men, who we're anxious to have
a chairman whose record on the sub
ject of 16 to was unquestioned.
