Futile Attempt Made by Molina to In,
tercept Them.

New York, March 5.--A Herald dis
patch from Havana says: A report
has been received of the landing OF a
very large expedition almost in Matan-
zas harbor. 1t is believed to be that
taken on the Dauntless by Dynamite
Jack" O'Brien. The supplies were
taken charge Of by rebel cavalry num-
bering 400. They were attacked by
500 OF General Molina's soldiers. 1t is
reported that the rebels refused battle,
and escaped with the supplies without
loss.
Reports of insurgent activity con-
tinue 10 come to Havana and greatly
exasperate the public, although every
attempt is made to suppress the facts.
The rebels are especially active in the
provinces of Santiago de Cuba, Puerto
Principe and Santa Clara.

LOUD BILL DEFEATED.
The House by Majority OF 40 Vote to
Lay IL ON the Table.

Washington. March 5.--The Loud
bill TO correct alleged abuses of the
second-class mail matter privileges,
which last year passed the house by a
majority OF l4l to l04, was buried by
an overwhelming majority by tho
house today. The vote was not taken
directly on the bill, but on motion to
lay it on the table. BY vote Of 162
to 10, the motion was carried. Forty
seven Republicans joined with the
Democrats and Populists In accom-
plishing this result, and ten Demo.
Gratis voted with the majority Of Re-
publicans. The refusal Of Loud to
allow vote on an amendment at the
last minute was responsible, in a mea-
sure, for the result, but the strength
Of the measure undoubtedly waned
throughout the three days debate.

A portlnnd Man.. orlnlon.

Portland, Or, March 7.-Northwest
territory officials have taken the initi-
alive in the contest for possession of
Summit lake, by raising the Canadian
flag on its shores. This lake, according
to DR.. Horace II. Littlefield, one of
the best posted men regarding Alaskan
affairs on the coast, is situated, as it's
name implies, at the summit of White
pass, about l6 miles from Skagway.
Both the United States and Canada
claim it, and the dispute regarding it
has engendered bitter feelings between
Americans and Canadians in Alas ka,
which have rapidly increased in inten-
sity OF late. The American claim to
the lake is generally considered to be
quite as well founded as that of Cam
ada, and the action of the Dominion
officials is premature, ii not wholly un-
justified.

PROCTOR FULLY POSTED.
Has Seen the Darkest Side Of she Cuban
Situation.

Havana, March 5.-A naval officer
here today, in reply to suggestion that
it was pity such an important decision
as the verdict of the court of inquiry
into the Maine explosion should rest
solely upon the testimony of divers,
who seemed men of only average intel
ligence, replied:
''The court of inquiry has not had to
depend upon divers testimony alone" "
Then, realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve. 1t is believed that
the testimony of Lieutenant Com
mander Wainwright was highly impor-
tant as bearing on the question of the
existence OF submarine mines.
Senator Proctor has seen much in
short time, and there is good authority
for saying that he will make the results
of his observations known in strong
speech in the senate on his return to
Washington. Senator Proctor, however,
said to a correspondent:
Certainly peculiar state of affairs
exists. Residents OF Matanzas told me
that if l wished to correspond with
General Gomez they would send my
letter to him and have an answer back
in a short time. I"

The Fleet I'D Hong Kong.

Madid, March 5.-The public is much
exercised over the report of the pres
ence OF a squadron OF United States
warships at Hong Kong, as it is pre-
sumed the vessels intend to threaten
Manila, the capital of Philippine
island. in the event OF war between the
United States and Spain.
Imparoial, in an article headed ''To
Manila, to New York." quotes an un-
named high parsonage who scouts the
idea of an Imminent rupture, and says:
"The presence of warships at Hong
Kong is only Washington's policy with
view to contenting the jingoes
The high parsonage is said to have
added: "But America has not so many
warships as to warrant such bold action.
If the Yankees go to the Philippines,
the Spaniards viii go to New York"
Ell Globo remarks: ''The govern
ment is still alive to the critical situa-
tion, and Is silently preparing for the
worst. But it is too diplomatic to dis
close the procedure by which 1t is pre-
pairing for emergencies.
San Francisco, March 5.-The war
department has issued orders for the

Want Venezuela to Buy.

Francis B. LOOMS, United States min
lister to Venezuela, who has been in New
York for some weeks on official business,
says: 1.-THE main business which brought
me back home so soon after going to
Venezuela was the question of a pack
age postal agreement between the two
countries. 1t is now likely that parcel
convention may be arranged soon, which
will be of great benefit, especially to the
manufacturers of the United States. i
take back with nae the draft of an agree
ment which may eventually be entered
into between the two countries" Mr..
LOOMS advocated permanent exhibition
of American manufactures in each of the
principal South American cities as the
best way to foster our commerce with
that continent, and Venezuela in particu-
lar. This experiment will be tried, he
said, in Caracas in March, when the drst
exhibition will be opened. 1t will be I'M
der the control of the National Assecia-
ton of Manufacturers. 1.-The government
of Venezuela" continued Mr.. Loepis,
'has granted permanent right for the
exhibit, inasmuch as no other nation can
get similar concession. The exhibit will
be a sort of bonded warehouse, for,
through the courtesy of the Venezuelan
government no duties are to be collected
upon any of the goods exhibited until
they are sold. They will remain in the
exhibit hall in bond"

Need of Relief Not Urgent.

Tho renort of Major Bucker, who was
sant To Dyea recently for the purpose OF
accommodating the ground preparatory 10
starting the Government relief expedi-
tion and to interview persons coming from
Dawson on the need of relief, has peen
received at Seattle, Wash, and forward
cd to Brig. Gen. Merriam at Vancouver
barracks. The report discourages any un,
necessary expenditure of energy ana
money in carrying out the proposed eA-
pedition. Eleven reindeer arrived at New
York on board the Wilson Line steamer
Martello from Hull and were shipped to
the Klondike region. James jackson mas
arrived in San Francisco from boston
with number of carrier pigeons. whose
homing instincts he hopes to utilize IN
the work of establishing regular commu-
nication between Dawson City and ST.
Michael's next winter. He intends tax
ing his birds to ST. Michaeps as soon as
possible and will establish stations at con-
yenient intervals between there and Daw-
son. Six large barges and three river
steamers for service OH the Yukon and
it's tributaries are building at San Fran
cisco shipyards. The boats are for the
Alaska Exploration Company, and the
Rothschilds are largely interested. Ihey
will cost more than $25O,00O. The boats
will be taken apart and shipped to Una
laska, where they will be set UP and tow
ed to the mouth Of the Yukon.

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
OPENING OF THE YEARS BUSl-
NESS ENCOURAGING.
All the Better that There Is No Wild
Excitement in speculative Markets
Decreased Number of Failures -
Bering Sea Claims to Be Paid.
Dun's Encouraging Report.

r. G, Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says: '"rhe year has opened with
very satisfactory prospect. 1t is all the
better that there is no wild excitement in
the speculative markets, and, while stocks
advance a little, grain yields little. The
payments through principal clearing
houses, notwithstanding a decrease at
New York owing to less activity in stocks,
are 90 per cent larger than in 1892 and
1O.1 per cent larger outside New York.
Earnings of all railroads in the United
States reporting for December-$43, 364,-
279-indicate substantially the same rate
of increase, exceeding last years by lO.5
per cent and the earnings of 1892 for the
same roads by 1.3 per cent. Since 1892
was on the whole the most prosperous
year thus far, comparisons indicate, not
withstanding the lowest prices ever
known, that tie volume of business is
larger, and, in spite of some cutting of
rates, the earnings of railroads are larger
than in the best year of past history. The
wheat market has been curiously languld,
yielding a quarter of Il cent. Western
receipts were $751; $50 bushels for the
two weeks, against 3,O9S, 1888 bushels last
year. Corn exports continue large, al
though equal to last years. Spot cotton
is sixteenth lower, mainly because Of
the stoppage of some mills by difficulty
about wages. But nithing is definitely
known about the quantity of cotton yet
coming forward and one report of credit
able character puts the years yield at TO-
b7O,25O bales, though results thus far 90
not quite justify so large an estimate. The
iron furnaces in blast Jan. l report an
output of 226,GOS tons weekly, against
226,024 tons weekly Dee. 1. The wooden
manufacturers have been buying wool
largely, and for reasons not publicly eX-
planned it is evident that large orders nave
been taken by the leading mills, although
sales have declined about 40 per cent COM
pared with the previous week. Failures
for the last week have been 349 in the
United States, against 455 last year, ana
IS in Canada, against II last year.
