THE LATEST ABOUT wEYLER.

Among the more absurd of the many absurd rumors of the day is the story that an army of seventy-five thousand men is to be raised for the redemption of the Philippines and that Gen. Wey- Ter is to be put in command of it. Of course it is quite impossible that this number of men, or a tenth as many
 should be sent from Spain for that purpose The means to do so are alto gether lacking. Indeed, even if the troops and transports could be ob- tained the sending them to Manila would be so plainly waste of effort that we may be sure that no such en- terprise will be undertaken Perhaps the story arose from efforts that Gen. Weyler may be making to organize a large force of followers for the ad- vancement of his personal fortunes in the breakup at Madrid that may soon occur. He must know that his coun- try's colonial possessions are lost for ever but he may think that there are revolutionary possibilities at Madrid out of which he might secure for him. self military dictatorship.

A POPULAR LOAN.

Those advocates of the popular loan" idea who, on the occasion of every recent bond issue, have insisted that the plain people should have an opportunity to subscribe instead of the banks and wealthy corporations ought to be pleased with the conditions under which the new war loan is offered The bonds are to be issued in denomi- nations as low as twenty dollars and the small subscribers are to be served first This will afford test of the all legged desires of the people to invest their small savings in the securities of their government; and the experi- ment can be safely tried now as the New York banks stand ready to take the whole loan if necessary or what ever part of it is left after the small subscribers have had their chance. If many small subscribers come forward it will have to be assumed that patriot ism is largely their motive, since they can get better returns, with less trou- ble, by putting their money in savings banks.

 From an inspection of certain machetes submitted in the course of a recent visit to that part of the country where this product fiourishes most rampantly, it is found that the best of them are made in Hartford, Conn.,, but that they reach their highest development in the warmth of the tropics. One machete, belonging to the Hght-keeper at Cape San An toino. at the western limit of Cuba, was spoken of as having been in at the deaths of no less than forty-three identified per- sons and at least 100 more who may be counted among the ''also ran" but whose names were unknown to the narrator. This weapon was made in benignant, tranquil New England, and the altruis- tic Yankee who manufactured it would doubtless take g. great deal of honest and conscientious satisfaction out of the after such overtime use. 4ts
 In tropical country the machete is first in war, first in peace and frequently first in the hearts of the countrymen. It IS used in cultivation of crops. in cutting weeds. in chopping wood, in harvesting bananas, in blowing the ground, in build ing such houses as the native uses, in beating wives and in slkinning animals 1t is sometimes pushed into the ground until only the haft is visible, and then great games of quoits are played by it's agency, or a man will tie his dog to it.

SPANISH SCRIPTURES DIDN'T GO.

National antipathy to Spaniards ant everything Spanish has become SC
 strong as to be ridiculous in some in.
 stances and even church members have become so imbued with it as to mani. fest displeasure over the slightest ref. erence to the hated nation. The fea- ture of special service at the Olivet Presbyterian church, Twenty-second and Mount Vernon streets, held a Sun-
 day or two ago, was the reading of the
 Bible in thirty different languages All

 Unfortunately it was down on the programme or the people would never lave known the difference. When the lady, who. by the way, is Cuban and not Spaniard, began to read, misses sprang from the galleries and the rear of the church. Things had reached such state that church members could not listen to the reading Of the Holy Book in Spanish. Another patriotic outbreak occurred when, preliminary to the reading in English, Bishop Foss Referred to possible Anglo-Americau alliance.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Financial and Commercial Conditions
 In Santo Domingo.

1 Washington June 2u.-United States
 Consul Grinkle at Santo Domingo has
 made report to the state department 1 in regard to the, condition of affairs in Santo Domingo in which he says:
 American interests are relatively very large. About half of the sugar plantations are American in capital at
 least, and ali of them draw their an-
 nual supplies from the United States.
 An American corporation, viz, the San Domingo Improvement company, col lects the revenues of the country. The
 national bank is controlled by the
 same company. William P. Clyde and company run, under concession, fort nightly line of steamers between the
 ports of the country and New York. A
 brewery and an ice factory in this city lare built by American capital and op- lerated under American management This commercial and financial out look of the country is very gloomy Much depends upon what is to be the fate of it's sugar industry, which ap- pears to be threatened, owing to the low price of sugar in the New York
 market, the high export duty which this article pays, and which amounts to about twenty-five cents per Quintal,
 and to other causes. Many estates are reported to be at present on the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. The currency of the country consists of the deprecf- ated paper of the national bank and
 of Dominican silver money. The new
 Dominican silver dollar is SO much
 cheaper than the Mexican dollar, that
 this last has been driven out of the
 country. Exchange today is quoted
 at 127 per cent, and promises to rise still higher. It is, in fact, quite impos-
 sible at present to buy drafts at even that high rate

GOOD RESULTS.

Advertisers in the Arizona Re publican get good results, for good reasons.
 The Republican has for it's field all Arizona. It reaches we'll to do people in all the cities of the territory. It is read every day in every mining camp in the territory. You will find it on the trains entering or leaving Phoe- nix. You will find it at all the news stands here. and elsewhere in Arizona. Hundreds of farmers in the Salt River valley receive the paper by carrier early every day.
 It stands to reason that a pa per that is read by the masses is good paper to advertise in. If you haven't tried The Repub- lican yet invest few dollars in it's advertising space and watch your profits grow.

 wou Id not now need to be told that our correspondent was supplying important news In ad- vance of any other Washington writer. The points he elaborated have since formed the basis of many Wash ington dispatches. The Journal-Miner overlooks the fact that MT. Clarke was the first Washington correspondent to direct attention to the failure of Gomez and other Cuban leaders to cooperate with our forces. Since his luminous dispatch on this subject appeared the country has learned that the insur- gents at the outbreak of our war with Spain were incapable of giving much aid. through lack of equipment. Those now cooperating with us at Santiago are few in numbers, and had first to be supplied with arms. Gomez is just where MT. Clarke left him weeks ago. Az to the insurgent Aguinaldo. every close reader of the press dispatches must agree that the insurgent leader in the Philippines is likely to prove trou- blesome to General Merritt.

Some people know, but a great many do not know, that machete is a cross between a corn knife and butcher S cleave-. It has a blade about 24 inches in length-one shaped considerably after the fashion of a grossly exaggerated and falsified razor blade. The edge of the machete runs due north in a swelling line, with curve, or rather, a suggest ion of curve. until it is surprised to find itself at the limits of the knife At the point the line of the machete angles two points south or southwest-by mar iner's compass-for a distance of inches
