OUR GROWING TRADE
A Phenomenal Increase in Business
 With inc world

Washington, July "A study of details of exports from the United States during the fiscal year just ended by the bureau of statistics shows that every part Of the world has given evidence of an increased desire for American products. Europe is the only part of the wCE.1 which has failed to increase the amount of money paid to us for our products and this, the bureau says, is due solely to the plentiful supply CT br:.I3stuffs in that part of the world in 1899, as compared with 1898, and the consequent decrease in price paid per bushel.
 To Asia, to Africa, to South Amer ica, to Mexico, to Canada and to the Hawaiian islands and Oceanica, our sales have increased in quantity and value as compared with the phenom- eIal year of 1898.

Spanish Papers Charge That Fight Spaniards Have Been r1ur- dered by CubanS.

Havana, July 7.-Ten more mem bers of AcCsta's gang of bandits at Guanajay have been arrested and an- other has been killed by the rural guard, making two dead The citizens Of Guanajay have protested to General Lee against the killing of the bandits They are glad that She gang has been broken up, but are Cposed to the methods which were in vogue during the Spanish regime, when the civil guard had a habit of killing men and invariably eXcusing the act by saying they did so because, the men resisted arrest. The Cubans oppose the prac- tice because of fear that the Spanish methods may begin anew. General Lee will investigate the killing of the bandits
 Col Carrillo, who was arrested last night upon the strength of accusa- tions made by Acosta and immediately releasad, went to Guanajay today to f4'ce Acosta Carriflo said to- day that Aeos;a's charges were due to personal spite because he CCarril0l) had court mar tialed Acosta in the course of the war
 Several days ago the Diario lie Ia Mariana and the Union Espanola, the Spanish organs, published q story that eight Spanfard had been murdered at Preciosa, near Cardanas, by Cubans. General Brooke ordered an inyestiga- ton, and the aBcalde at Cardenas re- ported that the story was a complete fabrication. Today the Diar.o re- peats the story, demanding that an in vestigation be made by the courts and declaring it's willingness to be pun ished if the statements it has made are false

ONE ON "PING"
Impossible to Tell Where the Gov.
 ernOr '<IS aa."

Washington, July 7.-Governor Pin grea's o.aim in h.s letter to Secretary Alger, that he voted for Mckinley in 1896 and has had no cause to regret it. and that if Mckinley is a candidate again, tw.lI take pleasure in giving him my sUopoIt,'' is at variance with the message sent to the Michigan leg islature last winter, in which the administration was roasted in the strongest language Pingree could com mand, as the defender and promoter of trusts and corporations In that message Goverr0r Pingree demanded antitrust legislation n Michigan as the proper retilke to this republican admins ration and added:
 '~The men who are most notorious as heads of great mIonopolies seem to be most intimate fti=nds of the present adm: :ristration, and to be the most eager to redress the wrongs of all people who live outside the United States, it being thc'r well defined pur- committed at home. So far as the American people are concerned, this administrator seems to look upon them as having no rights except to lay down thetr lives, and, incidentally, their freedom, for the conquest of for eign lands and the fatteniEg of do- mest:c moncpoEes.''
 The question new is if Pingree msaL,. what he said to the legislature, can he mean what he said in the Al ger letter, or is Pingree convicted by hs own words of being a demagogue?

JOHN R. M'LEAN COPYING
His Purpose SaId fo Be to Look Over
 inc -poIifical Field.

Washington, July John R. Mc- Lean will leave Washington in a few
 days for the west. While it may be said when he departs that the tour is
 one for health and recreation, h:s friends here understand that MT. Mo Lean <S going to combine politics with pleasure in such a measure as to give thsl former the lions share A part of h-s business gagements here have been so disposed of that he may devota a larger part CT his time than hereto fore 10 public matters and the further ing of fts political ambition. Having disposed of h.s gas stock and his off, clal connection with the corporation. he is released in a mannez. from the entanglements involved or possible in cc-I6c-ton herewith. The release will give him additional funds. tco. to be used in promo ting his ambition. It is said to be MT. McLean's purpose to Nt1.t a number of places and to con- suit with the democratic leaders.
 Just at present, when there IS some talk of other candidates than Bryan in certain quarters, an ambitious and observanl man like NJ. Mclean might find it worth his while to go around and v-ew the field for himself. It IS not absolutely clear to him that he would care to run with Bryan at the head of the ticket, though more has been said of h:s vice-prasiden.iaI than of his presidential aspirations. MT. Mclean while on his tour Of the west ern states can form some iGaa of MT. Bryan's strength ard of the strength or the silver issue. It is said that he still clings to free coinage. as may be inferred from his recently reported scheme to establish in this city free silver Ccgan. The trip will enable him to determine whether he will be a formal candidate for nomination either as president or as vice-pres!dent on the democratic ticket It is said | that he will forthwith take the initia- l tory steps to such candidacy if he sees the way to be clear

Wyrick says the Brazos river at Sealey has fallen eight inches in the last twentylfour hour. and that while the highest estima tes of the loss of life by flood may have been somewhat exaggerated, still the number is large and cannot be defi- nitely known for several days, as everything is in a state of demoTal- ization and confusion.
