(By Telegraph to virglnian-pllot)


Madrid. Jan. 4.-The statement that
the Spaniards evacuated Iloilo in order
to render the situation more difficult for
the Americans is positively denied here.
1t Is added here that the Spanish Gov
eminent, Immediately after the sign
Ing of the treaty of peace, ordered the
Philippines to be evacuated as quickly
bloodshed and conform with the ex-
pressed wish OF the Americans, who
were very exacting, especially in the
case of Cuba"
WHAT THE PROJECT SAYS.
An interview with an eN-Prefect of O.
province of the Philippines was pub
lished here, in the course of which he Is
quoted as saying:
President Mckinley has shown COM
plete ignorance of the situation in the
Philippines. When tine Americans oc-
cupied Manila there We're only four in
surgent provinces. The Americans en-
couraged the rebellion and now they
are themselves the victims of the sup
port which they gave the insurgents.
VINO have become masters of the en-
tire archipelago, except Mandinao,
where the natives. who are Mussul-
mans, have refused to recognize Ameri-
can rule. although they have not re-
volted.
AGUINALDO UNPOPULAR.
"ASsAnaldo's appropriately is due to
his friendship for the Americans. His
treatment of Spanish prisoners has been
horrible. Monks have been marched
through the streets. led by cords, at
tached to rings through their noses, and
others have been employed literally as
beasts OF burden--A thousand have died
of i'll treatment"
DON CARLOS STATEMENT.
Madrid, Jan. 4.-El Correo Espanel,
the Carlist organ, says:
I'VE are authorized to declare that
Don Carlos would never further his
cause by arranging for the cession OF
an inch of Spanish territory"
The papers are evidently beginning
10 abandon the idea that there is any
understanding between the British gov
eminent and the Carlists.

IRON MARKETS ARE EXCITED
Scarcity of Material is Worrying the Makers
Of Finished Products,
LARGE INTERESTS SWELL THEIR ORDERS
Possible suspension of Enterprises
Owing TO scarcity of rig Iron
and the High Prices that
Arc Demanded for IL.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Dlscussing trade
The market is getting into more and
more excited condition and the scarcity OF
material is even more pronounced than II
has been. Prices are irregular in .hs
respect, that they vary within considerable
limits, early deliveries commanding a con-
siderable premium, whose magnitude de-
pends upon the circumstances governing
each individual case.
Large interests have been covering for
ward requirements to an extent which re-
fleets both their confidence in the future
and the fact that they are swelling their
order books. Last week leading interest
in the central west bought $4,000 tons of
pig iron, but, on the other hand, another
large consolidation withdrew from the mar
ket an inquiry for about $4,000 tons. Since
then the market has advanced sharply and
today the Bessemer association is to fix a
new price, which 1t is generally expected
will be SIS at valley furnaces. 1t is esti-
mated that the furnaces in the association
can only offer for sale at the utmost for
this years delivery between $4,000 and
0,009 tons
In the east there have been sales of
basic pig iron to the extent of about 10000
tons at close to SIG, delivered. In Chicago
the Republic Iron and Steel company has
purchased large lots of gray forge pig iron
for its different plants and has also closed
for about $4,000 tons of sheet billets at
private terms.
Reports are beginning to crop UP con-
cerning the suspension OF enterprises
through the rapid rise in iron and steel
We have investigated one important line
that relating to structural material for
bridges and buildings, and find that while
a number of instances are cited the majority
of the construction shops have not met
with such experiences.
The great steel works and rolling mills
are crowded with work we'll into the clos
ing months of this year and in their sales
have discounted the additions to plants now
under way.
The really serious question Is to what eX-
tent and at what prices buyers who are now
working up cheap material will come into
the market. The rapid rise is naturally
causing uneasiness, since a sharp reaction
might lead to cancellations and to with
holding Of specifications by those who, being
belated, purchased largely at prices recently
prevailing AS yet, of course, there is not
the slightest indication of that.
The eastern bar manufacturers will prob
ably not undertake a consolidation.
The pipe consolidation will be ready for
the public in a few days.

COpious Rains Occur and Vegetation
Grows Rapidly.
HURON, S. D. May 25.-(Special.) 1.-THE
United States Department OF Agriculture's
climate and crop bulletin of the weather
bureau, South Dakota section, for the week
ending May 23 summarizes crop conditions
as follows:
The weather during the week has been
coor and damp, with much cloudiness and
considerable brisk to high easterly wind.
Fair to copious rains occurred generally and
We're frequent in some sections. The condi-
tions were highly favorable for the recupera-
tion of wheat, oats and barley that was
affected by the frost which occurred the
morning of May 13. There is general report
of wheat steadily though slowly recover
ing where frost bitten. with indications that
very few If any, fields will suffer material
permanent damage, but there are indica-
tions that some fields of oats and barley
have been permanently injured somewhat.
In the northern counties many fields of oats
and barley were not sufficiently advanced
in growth to be seriously damaged. 1t is
yet early, however, to know the actual dam
age, as cool weather has prevailed since
the frCst. Where only slightly affected,
wheat, oats and barley look well and pros
porous, the cool weather favoring luxuriant
stooring.
The effect of the frost, it is thought. will
reduce the yield OF plums, currants and
some apples In eaSt-central ana some SOUTH
eastern localities but 1t appears that in the
northern counties they were not sufficiently
advanced to be injured
Corn planting is well advanced and in
some southern localities completed, but the
weather has been too cool and damp for
termination and growth and rains and high
winds have retarded planting. There is
also some report of the seed rotting in a
few localities.
Potatoe growth has been slow and in
some central and northern localities plant
ing Is st!ll in progress
Crops generally are still somewhat more
backward in Black Hills counties than else
where, principally because of insufficient
moisture earlier in the season.
Flax sowing is progressing as rapidly as
the conditions will permit Of.
Grass, except in some extreme western
localities affords ample pasturage and has
been benefited by the rains.
There is some fear expressed that the
recent rainy and cool weather will render
