SITUATION IN u ERLIN.


Berlin, Dec. 24-The advance in the
Reichsbank rate to per cent had a
great effect upon the security market.
Values declined only moderately. There
was nothing in the nature of panic
as occurred in New York and London
Notwithstanding the fact that the ad-
vance in London exchange continued
reaching yesterday four pfennigs above
the gold point, gold exports have hith-
erto been but moderate. The Berlin
joint stock bank are doing all in their
power to prevent exports. The CORE
spondent of the Associated Press was
informed to-day by persons in the
highest banking circles that the contin-
ued rise in London exchange is due to
the fact that New York has sent large
amounts of three months money bills
here for discount taking in return
London exchange. A further cause as
signed Is the heavy purchases of
American railway securities by Ger
many. payment for which is now due
in London. These shares are chiefly
Canadian and Northern Pacific.
Private discount is declining. Call
money Is rising. The outlook for busi-
ness remains excellent excepting that Of
dear money. 1t is Impossible to raise
money on mortgages, owing to the de-
cline in house building, which is ex-
pected eventually to react on the iron
trade.
Western Germany's car shortage,
amounting to 5000 cars daily, is OBJ
structing the coal trade. Nevertheless
the Bourse takes an optimistic view OF
coal prospects. As a result of this coal

THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Last Week the GioOmiest of Recent
Years-Better Feeling.

London, Dec. 24-Last week was one
of the gloomiest which the stock ex
change has experienced in recent years.
In all the markets realizations were on
a large scale, due to a fear of money
pressure during the last settlement of
the year. and prices went down all
along the line. These touched the low
est point on Friday Yesterday bet
ter feeling prevailed, owing to the COM
parative ease of the carry over In min
ing shares, which effected partial re-
covery in prices, leading to a more
cheerful and hopeful tone at the close.

Berlin, Dec 24.-The North German
Lloyd Steamship company has bought
out the Scottish Oriental Steamship
company's steamers, fourteen in num-
Der, and will continue the service to

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.
Hopes Raised That II VIII Come within
Reasonable Time

Havana, Dec. 24.-The events of the
last few days have had a great effect
on Cuban politics. The circumstances
attending the arrival of General Wood
and the departure of General Brooke,
taken with the speech of the former
at the farewell banquet to the latter,
in which the intentions of the United
states government were re-stated, have
satisfied the Cubans that Cuba will GER
tainly be independent within a reason
able time More than this the arrival
and public and private utterances of
Horatio Rubens have increased the
restful fleeing that now apparently ex-
lists among all classes. Mr.. Rubens has
without doubt considerable influence.
Wherever he goes he Is cheered by the
people; his room a the hotel is tbrong-
ed with Cuban officials seeking an in
terview, and altogether he is regarded
somewhat in the light of an oracle
Every influence Is being brought to
bear to stop the proceedings against
the custom, house appraisers now un-
der arrest on charges Of fraud The
judges, the supreme court officials and
many other important officials are re-
General Wood says that If the apprais-
ers are guilty they must be punished
no matter who is hurt If their rela-
tionship to the judges is such as to
dsqualify the latter from giving them
an impartial trial. a judge or judges
from some other province will be as
signed to try them. General Wood de-
clares that if judges decline to perform
their duties, they will be impeached in
Cuba, just as they would be anywhere
else.
The Patria, commenting upon GEN
eral Woods remarks at the farewell
dinner to General Brooke says; ut
was most satisfactory speech with
pleasing military simplicity. Obvious
ly the United States government in
tends to fulfill the terms of the joint
resolution and General Wood is the
man selected as the instrument for this
task"

SOME FRENCH JOURNALISM.
A Charge Against English Papers
Franco American Treaty.

Paris Dec. 24.-The Journal Des De-
bats in the course of a long article fav-
orine the Franco-American reciprocity
treaty says: Some are opposing the
treaty because they have become
dupes of English newspapers, which
are spreading the idea that the United
States are only branch of Great Brit
ain The Americans, however, have af-
firmed their determination to be inde-
pendent President McKinley's mes
sage showed their ability to disentangle
themselves from English embraces
when these became compromising. AS
for ourselves, unless there is some proof
TO the contrary, we must regard the
Americans as our allies and friends.
The conclusion of treaty with us was
a friendly act and must be considered
as such. Our only desire should be the
ratification by our chamber of deputies
and the American senate of an agree
ment so significant to both countries.

DEAD ESTIMATED AT FORTY.


Pittsburg, Dec. PA special to the
Post from Brownsville, says: The num-
ber of the dead in the Braznell mill is
now estimated at forty and may be
more. There is a strong presumption
that the laws regulating mining were
carelessly and probably criminally dis
regarded.
From statements obtained to-day it
seems clear that the presence of gas
in quantities in the mine was perfectly
well known and that naked lights were
used for several days before the ex-
plosion. According to credible author
ity not single safety lamp had been
used in the mine by the workingmen
since last Tuesday morning, four days
before the explosion. William Pastori-
Gus, driver in the mine, who has liv-
ed in Brownsville for many years and
is regarded as a man of intelligence,
says that Pit Boss Jones on last Tues
day morning issued a general order that
all safety lamps might be dispensed
with and in their stead the miners
were permitted to use naked lights
Patorious also states that the lamps
We're unlocked, contrary to regulation.
THE miners always prefer to use
naked lights" said Pastorious, when
ever possible, as they give better light
and are more easily handled. / have
been working here couple of months
and used safety lamp until last Tues
day morning. At that time mine safe
ties were in use by the drivers and 9TH
ers who were constantly moving about
the mine and therefore exposed to
greater danger than digger in room.
According to the mining regulations,
the safety lamps in use were in many
cases unlocked. The safeties were pro-
vided by the company as usual and
they should be locked SO that it Is inn
possible for a miner to open them
while at work. My lamp was unlock
ed and frequently opened and closed
it. On Tuesday the pit boss issued an
order that the men could use open
lamps and they, of course, discarded
the safety which made poorer light.
About 100 yards from the bottom of the
main shaft there was fall which had
been boarded up and in which the gas
stood against the roof. I think it was
this gas which exploded

James ii. Akrigg Charged With Em-
btzzlemcnt by Bailee

James II. AlSrigg, an insurance can
vasser for the Prudential Insurance
company was arrested Saturday even
ing by Detective Dunlap on the charge
of embezzlement of SO from William
f. Kusterer, a grocer at the corner of
Chapel and Park streets. 1t seems
that about a month ago Akrigg collect
ed an insurance premium Of $6 from Mr..
Kusterer, telling him that his policy
would lapse unless the premium was
paid at once. Akrigg gave a receipt for
the premium money paid to him but
few days after Mr.. klsterer received
a notice from the Prudential COM
pany's office in this city notifying him
that his policy had lapsed, his premium
not having been received by the COM
many.

That He Has "NO Further News of the
General Sttuationv - New British
CampatC Chieveley-Boers Have Nearly
Twenty Miles of Trenches North of
Methuen's Force.

London. Dec 25.-4:3O a. m.-The wal
office has received a cablegram from
General Forester Walker, datel at
Cape Town yesterday, saying: "Fave
no further news of the general situa-
tion."
1t may be almost safely predicted
that nothing will occur to-day. A
truce, either formal or informal, is be-
ing kept for the observace of Christmas
by the opposing forces
The Duke of Connaught is again
pressing to be allowed to go to the
front, but the government declined to
give it's assent Then waving consider
ations of rank, he offered his services
to Lord Roberts in any capacity as
staff officer. Lord Roberts consented,
but the government again declined.
The Morning Posts correspondent at
Chieveley telegraphing on Monday,
December s, confirming intelligence al
ready cabled, says: "At dawn to-day
the column struck camp and formed a
new one, three miles to the south, ow-
ing to the scarcity of water"
A dispatch from Modder River, dated
December is, says: "The Beers con-
tinue extending their trenches. They
now have nearly twenty miles of en-
trenched works due north of the Brit
ish camp, which also is in an admira-
BILE position for the defense, as the sur
rounding country. is perfectly level. The
Beers, moreover, are compelled to keep
a force estimated at 10000 in order to
contain the British column.Y A large
of wi NTo+b &c \ od
have recovered and are ready to resume
their places in the ranks"
A despatch to the Daily News from
Modder River, dated December Is,
says: 1--WE are now waiting until Eng
land shall have realized the actual
facts. 1t has to be admitted that man
for man, we have found ourselves pref
ty well matched; but the Boer has al
ways the choice of positions. Let Eng
land then become alive to the need for
a further 100000 men. Such a force
will prove the truest economy in both
blood and treasure"
Among minor new items 1t is an
nounced that Colonel MacKinnon has
been appointed to command the city
of London imperial volunteers. The
Sixteenth Lancers have been ordered to
proceed from Bombay to the Cape to
meet the pressing need of cavalry. The
Canadian colonel, Russard, has been
appointed to General Frenchs staff.
1t is rumored that the Free State Is
about to move the seat of government
from Bloemfontein to Winburg, the
former being indefensible. DR.. Leyds,
who has again been interviewed, asserts
At.z I, orr q
ammunition, declaring that they have
Mausers enough to give each burgher
two and an equal number of Martini
Henrys.
The morning papers are severely crl-
ticising the fact that General Sir
Charles Warrens Fifth division is be-
ing utilized to reinforce various points,
instead of being concentrated at one.
