THE CUBAN JUNTA.
Horatlo L. Rubens Declares tho Provisional
Government Does Not Want Intervon-

New York, April 0,-The Cuban
iunta, through its counsel, Horatio 5.
Rubens, made an important statement
to-day. 1t declared in the most une-
quivocal language that the Cuban pro-
visional government and the Cuban
army would reject absolutely interven-
ton by the United States unless 1t
should be preceded by recogni-
ton of the independence of the
Cuban republic; that If the
United States persisted in interven-
ing without recognizing Cuban
independence the Cuban government
and military forces would refuse to CO.
operate; that IL the United States
troops should be sent to Cuba upon
the basis of intervention without in
dependence, the Cuban army would in
the last resort turn its arms against
the United States. The above state.
ment is considered official.

DETECTED BY AN EXPERT.



DIES MONIES, Ia, April s.--Prof
Floyd Davis, chemist, has returned
from Missouri, where he has been
making an examination of money
found on the person OF Charles Martin,
accused of blowing open the safe of
the Farmers bank at Sheridan. The
investigation is for the local Bankers
Casualty company 1t was wished to
ascertain whether the money came
from the safe which was blown open
by nitro-glycerine, Prof. Davis says
the money bears every evidence Of
having come in contact with gases
liberated by explosive. No marks
are visible to the naked eve. The
alleged robbers clothing will be sub.
jected to the same test The examine
ton has never been tried before, but
is being used with view to prosecut-
ing AL future cases of a similar nature
by the expert testimony of chemists.
After the announcement of the result
of the investigation, Martin offered to
enter plea of guilty, provided the
prosecution would agree to ask that
only the minimum penalty, two years
Imprisonment, be imposed.

RECALLS GEN. SCHOFIELD.
The Hero of Many Battles VIII Act as MILL
tary Adviser to President Mckinley
During Pending Trouble.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-As a result
,of Gen. Schofeld's recent visit to the
white house, the announcement was
made that he has been recalled from
the retired list and assigned to duty
as military adviser to the president
and the secretary of war. The ex-
PLANTATION of Gen. Schofeld's assign
ment to active duty, given out at the
war department, is that number of
officers from the retired list will be
called on to perform executive duty
while younger officers are in the field.
Gen. Scho6eld is one of the ablest ex-
,ecutive officers the army has ever
known and, while there is no desire to
reflect upon Gen. Miles or to interfere
with him in the discharge of his duties
as commander-in-chief of the army,
the selection of Gen. Schofeld as con-
fidential military aid to the president
gives general satisfaction.

OUTPUT OF SOFT COAL.
A Production of Nearly sOO,OOO,OOO Tons
Was Accompanied by Decline
In the Price.

WASHINGTON, April 8-From a pre-
liminary statement compiled by Il. w.
Parker, statistician of the United
States geological survey, it is shown
that the total output of coal in the
United States in 1897 amounted ap.
proximately to 1893, 1876, 900 short tons OF
1900 pounds, with an aggregate value
of Si0S, 100000, a fraction less than
81 ton. Compared with 1896
this shows an increase in tom
mage of Zero, 900 tons, or about 3,3 per
cent. The increase in the value OF tho
product was only 81, 700, 900, little less
than % of one per cent. The amount
of coal produced in 1897 was the larg.
est on record. The average value a
ton was the lowest ever known, con-
tinuing the declining tendency which
has been shown without any reaction
for the last six years.
Considering the industry by states,
Pennsylvania holds her usual position.
The combined product of anthracite
and bituminous coal from the Key
stone state amounted to 1906, 900, 0OO
short tons, nearly 81 per cent. OF
the total out Illinois remains in
second place, with total of a
little over 2O,OOO,OOO short tons.

tons of reaching 5000, 600 tons. Mary.

NAVAL PLAN OF ACTION.
The Flying Squadron May Make a Dash
and Seize the Canary Islands and
Establish n Station.

WASHINGTON, April THE plan of
action for the naval forces in event of
hostilities is now practically COM
pleted as a result of several weeks
constant work on the part of the off
GERS to whom was entrusted this i'm
portant feature of war preparations.
While these plans are naturally most
closely guarded it may be stated on
high authority that one feature of
them contemplates a dash by the fly
ing squadron under Commander Schley
to the Canary islands. Naval officials
do not think that it would be a diff
cult task for so powerful feet to es-
tablish station at that point and
operating from it as base to harass
the coast of Spain. From that point
the squadron could not only be placed
advantageously to intercept Spanish
merchantmen, but would be in posi-
ton, should circumstances demand or
warrant doing so desperate venture,
to attack a seaport. 1t was also point
ed out by this officer that to seize and
hold the Canary islands would be a Sc
we're blow to Spain, inasmuch as the
islands lie between the Cape Verde is
lands and Spain and in direct line with
the route to Cuba.
