GEN. J|M|NEZ WAS ARRESTED
ON A BOAT AT CIENFUEG0S
Seems to Have Been UnwRrrsnted-He
Was Released Immediately-He Was
Plotter Against San DomiDg go-G. h
eral Wilson May Get the Blame.

Havana, Aug 2l.-It is asserted that
the arrest of General Juan Isidro Jiminel
the aspirant to the presidency of Santu
Domingo, who was captured aboard Il
steamer at Cienfuegos just as the steamer
was about leaving that port, was not
caused by orders from Havana, but was
effected through the orders of General
James III. Wilson, governor of the depart.
ment Of Matanzas and Santa Clara. I'M
mediately upon learning of the arrest,
Major General Brooke gave orders for the
release OF the prisoner. The action OF
General Wilson in ordering the arrest oi
Jiminez causes much comment The pres
ent plans of Jiminez are unknown. Having
missed the steamer on which he had taken
passage he will probably return to Havana.
Commenting on the arrest, Diario de Ii
Marina says that the mayor and police at
Cienfuegos refused to carry out the orders
given them for the apprehension Of JIM
inez, as they claimed that to do so would
be to violate the law of the country and
the arrest was made by customs officer.
The Diario expresses the opinion that
the detention of Jiminez was the result OF
request made to the government at
Washington by President Riguero of Slntu
Domingo that the suspected filibusters be
prevented from leaving Cuba for Santa
Domingo until after the elections in the
republic had been held.

Rioters Are Arrested.


New York, Aug. 2l.-The Financier
says:
The feature OF the New York bank
statement for last week was an expansion
CT $l,04S,600 in loans, the first that has
been recorded since July s, last. The
liquidation in this item in the intervening
period has been not less than $47 100000.
The loss in deposits in the same time has
been about $50, 100000 but the banks have
$l0O00,000 more surplus reserve than re-
ported in July. Their position is cor
respondingly stronger, but the fact that
loans are rising indicates that this steady
liquidation is at an end. The loan ex-
pansion, in view of the activity is mod
crate to say the least. The banks gained
a million dollars as a result of the week Z
operations and as the increase OF 81 ,2S2..
500 in deposits called for an increase less
than a third of a million, in additional
requirements, there was an additian Of
s6S6,975 to surplus, making the excess al
the close of the week, $l5,082, $50.

"At least l0,500 tons of food should be
shipped weekly until further notice. Have
now fairly full reports from whole island.
Can not reduce first estimate of 100000
to be fed or assisted. Am starting public
works as rapidly as possible, and hope soon
to get large numbers on a selfsustaining
basis. If local committees act without
concert duplication and waste would be
sure to result. Therefore l suggest
central committee to regulate this and
would give assurance to contributors that
donations will be wisely handled.
''Send all clothing and medicines Of
fered. Fully one-half beans and rice should
be shipped in sacks weighing 100 pounds
per sack, for it must get to the interior
on pack animals. The sacking material

Prosperity.

Bradstreet's says: The last month of
the year has opened au,piciou,ly, finding
trade and industry generally well en-
ployed, demand treading close upon and
even passing supply, labor troubles averted
in some instances by widespread advances
IN wages, OF ,mall Importance except in
one or two cities, and with the general
level of values of staples at the highest
point reached for eight years past. More
seasonsble weather conditions, not, how
ever, extending throughout the entire
country, have improved the di,tribution at
retail at many markets. Holiday demand
has opened well, and collection, from retail
trades, therefore, show some improvement
The rise OF staple values, notable feature
in November, has apparently been pre-
jected into the current month Textiles
in November led the upward movement OF
prices.
The strength of cereals, notably wheat,
this week is reflection largely of de-
creased receipts 1t the Northwest, but
Bradstreet's monthly statistics of wheat
stocks show a nearer approach to normal
comparisons with one and two years ago
than has hitherto been possible.
The strength of wool is apparently un-
impaired, though demand is quieter. Lon
don prices have again moved higher and
the small available supply Of fine grades
supports the belief that prices may still
move upward. A 10 per cent advance in
cotton mill operatives wages at nearly all
the large mills throughout New England,
which, on the basis of census figure 5,
would point to an increased purchasing
power secured by neatly 100, 600 people,
has been granted.
