office next morning.
The cottage by the Volga meanwhile
was given up to grief and mourning.
Mrs. Prozorov had not left her bed,
and Katia remained constantly by her
mothers side. During the whole of
Saturday evening Vladimir sat alone in
the dining room, hoping to see her, II

He went back to the pavilion. Should
he send her a letter and 60 without see
ing her? No; such Il thing as what he
had to tell her must be told by word OF
mouth. He decided to stay His former
fears now seemed to him groundless.
"He won't inform" Vladimir assured
himself, because he knows that he'd
lose Katia altogether if he did. "
The whole of Sunday passed in miser-
able waiting. Katia did not appear.
After dinner he caught sight Of her for
moment as she went into the kitchen
to give some order. She nodded to him
from the distance and went up stairs
again without giving him the oppor-
tunity of speaking word to her.
The time passed on, and with every
hour his agitation increased. A new
stone was now added to the load of his
wretchedness. The answer to that ques-
ton, "Will he inform or not?" had now
taken in his mind new and final shape,
"He will inform and contrivo that Katia
shall not suspect him of it. y
He waited and waited as if Oh tenter-

he decided to write Il note to her, ask

nurse came down the winding stairs

THE ISLAND OF CUBA.

Wealth, Population, Principal Cities and
Resources.
The island of Cuba is situated in the
Caribbean sea; it is the largest and
most western of the group called the
West Indies and it's western extremity
terminates at the entrance to the Gulf
of Mexico: midway between Florida
and Yucatan. Cuba is ia miles from
the latter peninsula, SO from that of
Florida, los from Jamaica and IS from
Hayti.
The configuration of the island is
very irregular, resembling somewhat
the arc of circle. Its greatest length,
from east to west, is 1928 miles, and

command of the fleet now engaged in the
blockade Of the Spanish ports of Cuba.
He has fine record for courage and dis

that there is not better fighter on the

likely be subjected to thorough test

The official reports of the victory of
Commodore Schley over Admiral Ger
vera on Ju,. were made public yester-
day and prin in full in The Times this
morning. In them there Is an evident
intention upon the part of Commodore
Sampson to belittle the great services to
the American arms rendered by his COM
rade, the gallant Marylander.
The most remarkable thing about the
report made by Commodore Sampson.
according to the comments generally
heard this morning, is that he calmly
proceeds to describe scenes of which he
personally and actually knows nothing.
the purpose seeming to be to create the
impression that he directed the great bat

the victory.

have been sent from Washington to the
battlefelds and the answers written and
received within twelve minutes. IL Will
now be possible to send messages to San
tiago by either the Haiti or the Ber-
muda cable, on account of the American
Government controlling the cable omceS
in the city OF Santiago.
There are two cables between Santiago
and Kingston. and the Government has
been making an effort ever since the cam
paign started to cut both Of them A
number of times both were reported as
cut and Bianco said to be isolated from
his home government, but these reports
were inaccurate. One cable was cut a
number of times in different places. Each
time II was cut II was thought that 1t was
the other cable. This was not the case.
as the second was an older cable and was
so deeply imbedded in the ooze at the
bottom of the sea thar the graphing irons
could not pick 1t up. In this connection
a remarkable coincidence occurred just
as the city of Santiago was about to sur
render. One of our warships accidentally
caught hold of a cable on the bottom of
the sea, and when 1t was pulled to the
surface 1t was found to be the long
sought cable which was enormously re-
ported as cut"
Many persons ask what the Government
pays for its messages. The rate to Cuban
ports. via the Haiti cable is s1.05 per
word. The Government is given half
rates. as are also the daily newspapers
and press associations of the country.
The rate was extremely high until the
new French cable was laid two years
ago, but completion resulted in a quick
reduction of rates. AS an illustration, the
rate to Bermuda. where there is only a
single cable. is 70 cents a word. while
the rate to Kingston, which is more than
twice as far. is only IS cents per word.
The messages are sent by way of the
Bermuda cable in both instances. but
there is competition at the latter place.
The Bermuda cable at the beginning OF
the war reduced newspaper rates to l.
cents per word, but at that rate such
voluminous reports were sent that the
cable found it impossible to handle the
business.
The rate was again raised to the regu-
lar commercial price of IS cents per word
and both the. newspaper special reports
and the regular commercial messages
can be sent without delay or loss TO the
company.

Dover. Del, July 2T.-United States Sen
ator Richard r. Kenney arrived at his
home in Dover early yesterday morning,
having left Wilmington on the midnight
train. after the jury had been discharged
in his case.
The news of the disagreement of the
jury was received by the senator's friends
with great disappointment, as they had
hoped for verdict of acquittal and that
the senator would not be compelled to un-
dergo the strain of another. trial
Information that Mr.. Kenney would ar
rive at midnight preceded his arrival,
and as he stepped from the train he was
surrounded by a group of friends who had
waited to express their regrets at what
they term IAN unjust persecution" The
senator showed considerable feeling at
this manifestation of friendship from his
neighbors and townspeople.

side small crowd assembled. but there
was no excitement.
The suspension Of the bank can be traced
directly to two causes, the carrying of too
many securities of the Natalie Coal &
Coke company, and large loans on insuffl-
cient collateral. The beginning Of the diff
iculty was nearly a year ago, when the
Natalie company's paper became the object
Of much intricate litigation. in which the
German National Bank figured. This was
followed a few weeks ago by the sudden
tirement of Charles Burgdorff, cashier.

cipally by the failure of the Munson Belt
ing company. in Chicago, last week. Other
heavy losses are said to have been sus-
tanned, but it was supposed the large per-
sonal wealth of the family would enable
the firm to tide over the difficulty. 1t Is
expected that some time ago the Groet-
singers were awarded the contract for many
thousand shoe soles by an Eastern firm, but
through a misunderstanding of ORDERS
singles instead of pairs were made, and on
this transaction alone $4,000 was lost.
The German National Bank was organized

beginning of the present year its capital

He enlisted in Co. A. oath Wisconsin

he was transferred into the Mississippi

BUSINESS TO SUFFER.

Carnegie's Dire Forecast-Expansion,
He Says, Will Seriously Retard
Our Industrial Career.
New York, Oct. 21.--Andrew Carnegie
just back from Europe said in an inter-
view today: IF the United States is 60
ing to undertake the government of the
Philippines and going in for expansion
throughout the world, putting her hand
in the hornets nest of European rivlary,
there can be no prosperous business. We
shall be subject to wars and wars alarm
Business is the child of security and
peace. The entrance of the United
States as a new power in the far east
will set every one of the present powers
to study of the question from a new
standpoint. We shall be compelled to
increase our navy. We must pay for a
large standing army, and there is neither
rest nor security for us. Before the
American people comes now the most Sc
riOus issue since the issues of independ-
ence and secession. A false step now
and the future of the republic will, in
my opinion, be seriously impaired and
its industrial career retarded"
''You do. not think that territorial eX-
pansion will bring expansion in trade?"
"NO, not by any means. Inc develop
ment of one state In the union in peace
and security will outweigh all the in
crease of profit we can get from foreign
trade in any of the worthless possessions
which we can attempt now to take. The
Philippines have certain trade which
cannot be greatly increased; the wants
of the people are few; barbarians are no
customers; civilized people are the con-
sumers of our products
