Great Britain has shifted to one Of con-
Citation. The last French paper pub
lished at Cairo to attack British rule
has ceased so doing, and it is supposed
that the French Government subsidy
has been withdrawn from it.
The trades unions have replied to the
challenge of the employers in forming
a league for the protection against
strikes by meeting at Manchester of
the representatives of many branches
of labor, who organized a central fed
Grafton almost on the lines of the en-
ployers' league IF the plan proves sue
cessful, and all the great unions enlist
in it, Great Britain may yet witness a
gigantic war of capital against labor,
in which the organized employers will
confront the organized workmen. There
was strong opposition to the plan from
the labor leaders, who believed in main
tanning the autonomy of the unions, but
the Capitalization scheme must find a
large majority. 1t is estimated that
this consolidated union starts with a.
membership of 100000 and an annual
revenue of 10000 pounds Many of the
newspapers fear that the great power
which such an organization will give
the workmen may tempt them to strike
more readily than ever, particularly
since they will be assured Of money
backing. However. the speakers at the
Manchester Congress all deprecated the
strikes. and took the view that the con-
troll of them by a strong central COM
mittee would prove an effective break
on petty strikes, while giving the men
the most powerful weapon for the pro-
lection of their rights.

Der of travelling men We're initiated last

afice,. and it's emblem is a crescent and
travellers bag. It has paid out over

Authorities on the Trail Of a Gang
Of counterfsitsrs.
One Of the Suspects Lodged in the City
Prison at San Francisco.
Sensation at Fresno Caused by the
Arrest of Prominent Merchant,
Who Later Confessed to Having
Attempted to Destroy His Store
by Fire.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-United
States Secret Service Agent Brown and
the police are ON the trail of a gang of
counterfeiters who, they believe, have
been active for some time past in the
local manufacture and circulation Of
base 20 and 50-cent coins. One of the
suspects, a cripple, was arrested on
Howard street near Third, to-day, and
lodged in the tanks at the City Prison.
One Of his accomplices managed to es-
cape.
The individual under arrest said that
he was Alexander Bolena, and gave his
address as 249 Pacific street. In his
possession were found counterfeit coins
of the denomination given amounting
to about So. He also had a quantity
of dimes and nickels, which he is be-
lieved to have accumulated in mis- oper-
ations while showing the queer
The spurious money looks good, but
has a false ring, and bends under
strong pressure between the fingers.
Its baSeneSs is also indicated by the
poor character of the milling work. It
is believed that the counterfeits were
made in this city or it's vicinity, as
large numbers of them have been
passed lately upon local merchants and
storekeepers-

PORTLAND (Or.), Jan. 2S.-A special

IN SANTIAGO PROVINCE.
WONDRoUs CHANGE DURING
THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
Lands Formerly Waste Now Titled
by Thousands Of Agri-
cu1turalists.

Correspondence of the Associated Press,
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 20.-For
the last month there have been big fires
on the hilltops, reminding Americans
here of the days when they used to
read in the morning papers of the burn
ing Of sugar-cane, tobacco, etc.. by the
insurgent forces. But the present fires
are kindled for the purpose of clearing
the land for farmers use.
The small planters are returning to
their work and their homes. Many of
them have, since the Spanish surrender
been working for the Government,
either in the street-cleaning depart
ment or some similar branch of the
Government service, where they have
earned from 81 to $3.50 day, and as
they have got living down to fine art
and in all probability their wives and
children have been drawing INDECENT
rations in quantity sufficient to keep
the entire family, most of the wages
nave been saved by them. Hundreds
OF Cubans who have been working for
the various Government departments
during the last five months have from
500 to $50 saved.
This returning to work In the conn
try means the cultivation of land that
was never previously anything but
waste. It means vacancies in the san
ltary and quarternasters' departments.
which will be given to other Cubans
who in the course of a. few months will
also have saved sufficient money to
take up an acre or two of land and 60
into the country with their families.
A horseback trip through the country
accompanied by a guide from Santiago
to San Luis, returning via Songo. a
journey of nearly fifty miles, taking two
days to perform, reveals an extraordin-
airy change in the situation during the
last few months Three months ago
there were only a dozen or SO small
agriculturalists engaged in their occu-
patton throughout the entire district,
while to-day there must bel about 1000
Then one would see nothing but waste
lands, overgrown with weeds. To-day
acres upon acres of small holdings are
carefully attended to and are Welding
luscious fruits and vegetables.
Some small capitalists possessing a
few hundred dollars and a few acres
CT land are starting on a more ambi-
tious scale, with the intention of es-

few acres adjoining are generally put
in 10 banana and other fruit trees.
Vegetables are also growing for the
market. These more than pay the ex-
pe,ises attendant upon the starting of
a coffee plantation.
The payment of three or four NIL
lion dollars to the Cubans who served
during the insurrection will help much
toward the general prosperity, and it
will enable thousands of men to do
precisely what these men who have
bGen saving money by their work in
the streets and departments are now
Going.
The cost of living to the small agri-
euituralist is practically nil, for he
grows almost everything needed on his
own bit of land

to Dismissal From the
Army, But With . Recommend
dation From the Court For tho
Exercise Of Executive C1emeucy.

WASHINGTON, Jan 2S.-General
Eagan, COmmissary General of Subsis-
tence, has been found guilty of the
charges of conduct unbecoming an Of
ficer and a gentleman and of conduct
to the prejudice Of good order and dis
cipline and Of the specifications there
to, and has been sentenced to dis
missal from the United States army,
but with recommendation from the
court for the exercise of executive
clemency.
Under the regulations the court, hav-
ing reached the conclusion that the ac-
cused was guilty, had no choice in
selecting a penalty, the regulations pre-
scribing absolutely but one punishment
administration the offense. There
fore, the only hope for General Eagan
is in the direction of Communication, nit
igation or disapproval-
Colonel Davis, the Judge Advocate of
the Court Martial, finished his revision
of the record of the courts proceedings
this afternoon, and at once placed the
papers in the hands of Secretary Alger.
This action settled at once any doubt
that may have existed as to the routine
to be pursued in the treatment of the
case. AS for Secretary Alger, as soon
as he has read the record he will place
it at once with the President, who. un-
der the law, is the final reviewing au-
thority. It is his privilege to add to
or take from the strength of the court S
recommendation that clemency be
shown. The indications are that the
paper will be in the Presidents hands
early next week.
1t may be some days before the
President takes action in the
matter. There is already awaiting
action at the White House the
record of the court-martial in
the case of Captain Carter of the
engineer corps, a case of the greatest
Importance in military Jurisprudence,
and as this occupies the first place on
the docket of Presidential cases, it Is
possible that the President may decide
TO postpone action upon the Eagan case
until he has passed upon that of Cap
tain Carter.
Though adjourned without day, the
Eagan court-martial still preserves its
legal existence, and will continue to do
so until the findings reached by it have
been finally acted upon by the Execu-
tive. This practice is made necessary
by the occasional discovery of an error
at some stage of the proceedings which
requires such correction as can be made
only by the full court.

IN The PHILIPPINES.
RELATIONS OF OTIS AND
DEWEY VERY STRAINED.
Owing to the Rivalry Existing Be-
tween the Land and Sea Forces
Of United States in Islands.

BARCELONA, Jan. 2S.-The Manila
correspondent of the "Diario' says it
has been discovered that the relations
between Major General Otis and Rear
Admiral Dewey are most strained, ow-
ing to the profound rivalry which ex-
lists between the land and sea forces
of the United States in the islands.
1.-The administrative morality of the
Americans" says the correspondent, is
below par The gambling hells Of Ma
Mia are taxed $1,000 each, and the po-
lice are highwaymen who make arbi-
trary arrests and then demand from
$40 to $40 for the release of their pris-
oners.'
The correspondent further declares
that the Americans have monopolized
all the trade, and swamped the mar
kets with their products. rendering Eu-
ropean competition impossible. AS an
instance Of this, he alleges that Cali
fornia wines are sold in Manila as gen
uine Bordeaux.
MANILA, Jan. 2S.-Major General
Otis has recalled the Fifty-fi Iowa
Volunteers from Iloilo. This is done in
