RoYALIsTS IN CUBA.
A Cuban General Dissatisfied With Amerl- can Rule and Believes the Island
 Wants a MonarchicaI Regime.

Havana, July 4.-La Lucha to-day publishes statement regarding mat ters which it's conductors say they have been investigating and carefully guard ing for several weeks owing to the ret icence of those concerned and the de- sire of the latter to avoid a premature disclosure leading to a possible failure of their plans. The paper says:
 Cuba during the last few months has been a land of many surprises. The latest Is the es- tablishment of U royalist party. The new organi- zation is unimportant at present. probably num- bering fewer than D members, but a we'll known Cuban general. who claims to be n de- seendant of Charemagne. is reported to be the head of tho party. The Cuban general in ques- tion K said to be dissatisfied with American rule. He thinks that what Cuba needs is not a republic, but a strong h md ut the helm. like his own. He is of the opinion that the people of the Latin race prefer royalty and the possi- bie honors accruing under a monarchical re- gime.

Joplin, Mo, July 4 4-Saturday ended the first six months of 1899 and the to- tai sales of ore covering that period az gregated i3S, 425 tons of zinc and Il, ,927 tons of lead, which sold for 6,579, 7S7.

The recommendation of the Zinc Miners association that there be a general ces- sation of ore production was observed by 90 per cent. of the ore producers throughout the district, who mined little or no ore. The recommendation was made because the buyers were forcing down the price on account of a surplus of ore in the bins of mine owners.

The Half Year in Wall Street.

New York, July 4.--In Wall street the first half of 1899 has had important developments. It has been half year of progress, of continually growing prosperity. Aside from sales of se- curities by foreign holders. there has been no liquidation of consequence in any part of the market. except in a few of the new industrial shares. which, for various but always special reasons, have yielded. The public's acquisition of these new industrials has not gone to the extent generally estimated. large proportion of such stocks can still be found in the hands of promoting agents.

The Soldiers Wanted Will Be 0b- tained in the Regular Method
 and No Call Issued.
THE FORGE AT GEN. OTIS COMMAND.
Tn Negros Some Hostile Filipinos. When the California Regiment Were Depart ing for Home, Thought the Island Was Being Evacuated and Made au Attack Upon Them President Not Worried.


 Washington, July 4.-The war de- partment has nearly perfected the de- tails of the project for the enlistment of volunteers under the terms of the act of the last congress. There is to be nothing in the nature of call, but, as heretofore stated, the soldiers will be obtained in the regular method through the efforts of the United States recruiting officers stationed in the vari- ous large cities. To this end the de partment has already sent out to these officers full instructions for their guidance us we'll as blanks for en- 1istments and everything is now in shape to begin recruiting at the word from Washington. 1t was stated by the adiutant general to-day that the department contemplates raising nine regiments in all and the instructions 10 the recruiting officers are based on this figure. Each regiment will have a strength of 1, 326 men, making total force of II, ,934 men. This will almost be twice the number of men which Gen. Otis reports will be necessary to give him the force of 30,000 etfectives which he requires. The recruiting for the regular army has brought that establishment up to within 200 of its maximum strength. The force that will be at Gen. Otis disposal until the new troops now in this country reach him at the beginning of the fall cam paign may be summarized as follows: Seventeen regiments of regular in- fnx al, teer regiments, 4,134; four batteries Third artillery, 4S9; ten batteries of the Sixth, 1,230; the fourth cavalry, 1.230; an engineer battalion, 200; signal corps 50; total s, PTS men.
 Outbreak lin the Island of Negros.
 Manila, July 4.-Reports have been received here of an outbreak in the is land of Negros incident upon the de- parturc of the California regiment for home. Some hostile natives, seeing a company of soldiers at one of the small posts preparing to depart, thought the Americans were evacuating the island and a party of 250 rebels, mostly Boto- men, attacked the troops and killed one man and wounded another belong ing to company F.. The Filipinos were easily driven off.
 The transport Sherman will bring the California troops to Manila before starting for San Francisco. The trans port Grant will soon embark the Colo rado regiment.
 The President Not Worried.
 Washington, July 4.-President Me- Kinley deprecates the pessimistic view of the situation in the Philip pines which is taken by some infiuen- tial newspapers in this country. but is not inclined to attach much import ance to their forebodings. He is not worried over the situation, for he is completely in touch with it and thor oughiy understands the possibilities with which it is fraught and the cer- tainty of the outcome, in which only the question of time figures.
