RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Uneasy Feeling Regarding Thei,
Relations Spreading in China.

LONDON. Nov 13-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Mail" says:
An uneasy feeling regarding the reia-
tons Of Russia and Japan is spreading
here. There is no doubt that Japan is
practically allied with China, despite
the degradation which the Empress
Dowager inflicted on the Chinese en-
voys to Japan on their recent return.
This was merely a tactical move, with
view of appeasing Russia.
A large Russian fleet intends winter
ing in Nagasaki harbor and some re-
monstrance by Japan is probable
Prince Henry of Prussia, the command
er of the German squadron in the

MONEY STRINGENCY.
Treasury Officials Think Coin Will
Soon Flow Back From the West.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Treasury
officials expect that within a short time
the money drawn from the financial in
stitutions of the East for the movement
of the crops and other purposes in the
West will begin to find it's way TO New
York, and that the apparent stringency
in money will be accordingly relaxed.
This return which, this year, they say
appears to be somewhat later than
usual, Will be brought about by the
payment of the debts contracted by
business men in the West. where notes
either already have matured or are
closely approaching maturity. Mean
time the authorities here declare that
no exigency exists for any relief meas
ures on the part of the Government,
and pending an exigency no action in
that direction is contemplated. A lead
ing official of the Treasury Department
speaking Of the matter said tonight:
in our opinion as soon as the great
amount Of money which has been used
in the West begins to return to the
banks in the East money will be easier
and matters resume their normal condi-
ton. The outlays of the Government
are about equal to It's receipts, which
SHOWS lndI the department is not
boarding any great amount of money.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year
the receipts have exceeded the expendi-
lures by about $4,000, 600, while during
they month of November the expendi-
lures have exceeded the receipts by be-
tween S3,000,O000 and S4.000.0000 The
fact that the holdings of the New York
banks are 900 600 below the legal re-
quirement is not matter of special
significance If they We're that amount
in excess of requirements the difference
would be only S5,000,0O0, not a great
amount when their total legal holdings
are about $50, 000,O 0O. So you see that
is one more of sentiment than anything
else. Their holdings might be yet re-
duced and no harm result, as the mat
ter of holdings is one which is fixed by
the Comptroller of the Currency Had
this deficit appeared before the great
demand from the West for funds took
place, then the question is one which
might have caused some concern, bur
all they want is now applied, and the
natural result must be that this money
will soon find It's way to the centers
whence it was taken

Promptness Of Railroad Company

five of the men injured in the wreck

Saturday are being cared for. Though
several of the men are very badly hurt
it Is thought all will recover.
Considering the large number on the
wrecked train, $50, it is a miracle that
there were no more casualties. The
promptness and efficiency of the relief
measures taken by the railroad COM
pany doubtless saved several lives. A.
wrecking party found that there was
not enough left of the two trains to be
worth saving, so the debris was burned

The flames started in the basement

spread to a big bonded warehouse to
the south of the Viau building and
when the stone walls Of that structure
went down they crushed in a row of

CUBAN ASSEMBLY WRANGLES.
Three Million or Twelve Million-This
is the Question.

Havana, March 4.-The Cuban As
sembly has requested the newspaper men
of Havana, upon their honor as journal
lists and good, patriotic Cubans." not to
publish anything they may learn regard
ing the Assembly's secret sessions,
thinking that public knowledge of
what is doing may be used against the
assembly in its subsequent dealings with
the United States"
This, it is claimed. shows that no in
dividual member of the Assembly trusts
another.
Last night there was much mysterious
cafe whispering. 1t seems that a CON
siderable portion of the time during the
sessions Of the assembly is spent in in
sulting Americans and General Gomez.
and in personal collision between the
members They also. it is added. accuse
each other of accepting brides from the
United States, which accusations were
followed by threatened duels on the add
J0urnment. II
In addition to this, the Cuban Assem-
bly, consider that the planting of Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lees flagstaff four metres
deep in the ground is a sure sign of the
continuance of the American occupation
of the Island.
These reports. arising from the pro-
longed and boisterous secret sessions,
have made the doings of the Cuban AS
sembly the joke of Havana.
All rumors discreditable to the Ameri-
can military authority are assiduously
repeated.
No immediate solution of the matter
of the payment of the Cuban army is in
sight. General Gomez has not submitted
to Governor General Brooke the details
regarding the Cuban army necessary to
enable the latter to perfect plans for the
payment of the soldiers. The Cuban
Military Assembly is spending its time
i'm q discussion of the mysterious loan OF
S12.OOOOOO for which, it is reported
those loaning the money Will ask twenty
millions of dollars in payment. Genera
Gomez does not attend the meetings OF
the Assembly, and apparently ignores
that body, which has not yet decided
officially to accept the $3,000.000 from
the United States. Meantime. the first
installment of the American money is
promised.
About two per cent. of the canned
meat issued to the relief stations for dis
tribution to the destitute, is said to b,
spoiled, as is also a quantity of canned
fish, tomatoes and baking powder.

THIS WITNESS NOT ACCEPTED.
He Tells of Peculiar Looking Beef
Which Made Men Sick.

Washington. March 1.-THE War D.
partments court of inquiry wound up
its work with half days session to-
day, having exhausted its list of wit
nesses now on hand. There may he
some witnesses at the Mondays session.
but the court will start for Chicago
early next week, probably on Tuesday
or Wednesday.
Just before the close of the session
| to-day Il volunteer witnass presented
himself but was not accepted. He wore
an army uniform and said his name
was Frank Rundas. late of the Third
Nebraska, w. j. Brayn's regiment, and
| that he had recently been honorably
discharged from the service and was on
his way home. His story was in brief
that he had served in tae company
kitchen with his command in Jackson
vile and that during Il long period when
the men were living on refrigerator beef
| there was 50 much intestinal trouble
among the men that the issue of this
meat was stopped. At another time
| he got hold of some refrigerator meat
| in the kitchen which was of such De Gu
liar color that the attention of the com
| pany officers was called to it. The
surgeon in charge examined it, so Ran
das alleged. and remarked that the meat
was all right but had been prepared
to send TO Porto Rico. and since it had
been issued the men might as well use
| it The meat was cooked, but all the
men who ate it were made sick. The
| inference drawn was that this was some
of the same Porto Rico beef which
DR. DAILY had analyzed and alleged to
lie chemically treated.
| Rundas said he was on his way home
but had stopped off in Washington to
offer his information to the court of
inquiry if they thought it worth hear
ing. He presented himself to Colonel
Davis, the recorder of the court, but
was told that he would not be wanted
rs IL witness.
On being asked soon afterWard wheth-
or Rundas was to be called or why he
had been rejected, Colonel Davis said:
Il know nothing about the man. He
has on a uniform, but that is no proof
he is II soldier or ever has been. There
are all sorts of cranks and impOStcfs
who come up here and want to testify.
AS to this man, if he can identify him
self and the court directs me to call him,
| | will do it,
The counsel for General Miles will
| inquire into thea antecedents of this
witness, and if he appears to be what
he represents he will be called.
| A number of witnesses We're examined.
! but few new facts were adduced. The
criticisms of the canned beef were Sc

HOLMAN'S MILL BURNED.
Destroyed Early This Morning
of Fire Unknown.

Destroyed early ms Morning
of Fire Unknown.
The cotton gin of Mr.. w. G. Holman,
located on the Fayetteville road, at
ky branch, just beyond the city
limits, was destroyed early this morn
ing by fire. The gin house was two
story brick building. A large quantity
of lint cotton was stored in the upper
story and several bales which had been
ginned and packed were on the lower
floor. Nothing but the walls were left
standing. There were several houses
close by which were threatened by
the flood of sparks which were carried
by the high wind which prevailed. For
tunately none of them caught from tn,
sparks.
The fire alarm was turned III about
3:15 o'clock and the hose companies
turned out, but stopped at the railroad
crossing at Fayetteville street, as the
fire was beyond the city limits and by
drants were not available.
1t is understood that the property
was insured.
The origin OF the fire is unknown.
The gin was operated yesterday.
