QUIET BUT STRONG
The General Business Situation
 Satisfactory.

New York, April 21.-Bradstreet'a tomorrow will say: The general bAsi ness situation is one of quiet strength while in industrial lines activity con- tinues unabated. Universal testimony of damage to the. winter wheat crop has had surprisingly little effect op prices as yet, owing partly to im> proved weather conditions strength ening the hopes of a larger area in spring wheat, and also to good crop reports abroad and increased visible supplies as compared with a year ago, encouraging foreign buyers in their neglect Of American offerings.
 An enlarged demand for this coun- try's manufactured products in some degree counterbalances the falling off in value of agricultural exports, mo- tably cereals and cotton, as compared with year ago.

Washington, April 21.-The presi- dent will in few days issue a procla- nation giving effect to the new extra dftion treaty between the United, States and Mexico, President Diaz taking a similar action in Mexico. The Mexican embassy has been advised that the treaty between the United States and Mexico was ratified by the Mexican senate on April 12 last and it already has been ratified by the United States senate, so that it be- comes effective as soon as promut- gated by the presidents of the two countries.
 The text of the treaty has never been made known, but besides providing for eXtradition for all crimes not political, it's principal feature is its retroactive effect so as to cover crimes commit ted while no treaty existed

TWO FIGHTS INADAY
The FiIipinOS Towering Near
 inc American Lines.
The Troops are Suffering From In- tense Heat, but Very Slightly From the Guns of fhe Insurgents. Conditions Reported Good.

Manila, April 21-The Washington regiment routed the insurgents at Ia guig, inficting severe loss. Three Americans were wounded.
 A force of 200 rebels yesterday at- tackled the outposts of the Washington regiment near Taguig, south of Pasig and Spateros. Two companies imme- diately engaged the enemy and ad- vanced into the open in skir1nish or der. The rebels were checked and routed after two hours of fighting. leaving twelve dead on the field and several wounded The American troops also obtained possession of Mauser rifles and many other weapons. Three Americans were wounded.
 The heat is intense. At noon the thermometer registered 95 degrees and the mercury was still lising. There were several prostrations from the heat among the troops.
 Later the army opened fire on the enemy along the river banks. The rebels are unusually active west of Malolos as far as Calrmpit. They have baen busily at work on trenches and several new trenches have been discov- cred within two miles of the railroad. Fires are burning east of the railroad and it would appear the rebels art evacuating the foothill towns in an- ticipation of an attack.
 At this morning three companies of the South Dakota regiment marched from Bocave and in conjunc- tion with three companies Of the Mill nesota regiment from Gu1guinto, north of Bocave, encountered a rebel force numbering fully 800 men when two miles out. The enemy retired three miles in fairly good order in spite of heavy losses. The Americans having exhausted their ammunition were com pllled to return to camp.

BERLIN MUCH WROUGHT up
AgrarianA Attempts 10 Provoke Strife
 Over Samoa.

Berlin, April 21.-The Samoan ques- tion overtopped all others in this cap-
 ital during the week. The most re-
 markable feature of the affair is the
 united daily onslaught made by the
 entire Agrarian and anti-Semite and part of the conservative and national liberal press on the cabinet and es-
 pec;ally on Baron von Bulow, the
 minister of foreign affairs, who is
 charged with following a vacillating policy and yielding too much to
 British lnsolence and Yankec impu-
 dence" A regular campaign of abuse has been opened against the leaders in foreign politics, many of the utteran- ces being of unusual yigoT and venom
 It is learned on good authority that the aim of this is 70 disc: adit Baron von Bulow with the emperor, force his retirement and prejudice public opin- ion and the reichstag against the United States, and thus defeat the meat inspection bill, which is consid- cred by the AgraTians to be too favor able to America It is added that Thursdays anterpellation Of the government in the raichstag on the Samoan question and Baron von .Bulow's reply were in- cidents of the contest between the two parties.
 The great noise of the agrariau press and it's allies ought not, how ever, to deceive people into the belief that they represent public opinion. They are mercy the bla.ant minority Neither the emperor nor the govern ment hasbeen influenced by these mis- chief-makeTs. This fact was striking ly illust-ated in the passage of the Midland canal bill by the diet The measure was extremely distasteful to the Agra1Eans. The panty is distinctly on the down grade in Prussia and uer- many generally. In ithe reichstag it has only about one hundred out of total of 397 members, and in the diet its adherents number considerably less than half the total membership Dr. Lehr's ridiculous jingoism in the last evening in presenting the opening speech of the interpalla- tiOn spelled the AgraIians' game.

ment the skins are shed until they reach the hatmaker. The chamber re- piled that, although desirous to pro- mote the trade of Germany in foreign countries, it must as matter of pun- ciple decline to furnish technical re- ports on German manufactures that would be likely to assist foreign com. petitors.
 The Hanover Courier laments the American consul's practice of mixing in Germany's inmost concerns, which is becoming syatematic.'' The organ Of the German paper-making trade re- produces 3 list Of questions issued by a consul regarding that branch. add ing that he was even more iinquisitive than the statistical department of the ministry of the iL.erior The consul asks even the cost and the selling prices. Anti-American papers in Ber- lin have star5ed an energetic cam paign against the consular inquiries. but they admit that the American con- suls' reports are the most valuable, and they regret that German consuls do not show the same enterprise.

 From the German Minister.

Berlin, April 21.-Herr Von Buelow, the minister of foreign affairs, in a brief conversation on the Samoan question today, said to a correspond ent: q consider now that we are on the high road to a peaceful solution of the whcle matter. You may say the general opinion here is that the American government has done a great deal by it's wise and statesman like conduct in bringing the matter satisfactorily to the point where we are''
 Have you anything to say about Consul Rose?"
 ''Nc,' replied Herr Von Buelow, that together with all other incidents is matter for the commissioners
 Do you consider it probable that the commissioners will be able to agree?"
 Herr Von Buelow replied with em- phasis. Nest certainly, for the req son that their instructions are that they are to be most conciliatory and do all iii their power to arrive at an amicable understanding. This they can scarcely fail to do."
 The newspapers and public opinion here have adopted a mcre amicable tone.

TO GUT PRELATEs' SALARIES.
This Pan to Raise Money Said to Hay,
 the Sanction of the Pope.

London, April 21.-The new Spanish ministry has the audacity to propose to interfere in the official salaries of the Catholic hierarchy. In Spain money must be found to rescue the country from the economic slough and also to create new navy. The people are poverty stricken, but the nobles ana prelates are still wealthy. The finance minister's idea is to impose a pretty stiff income tax and to reduce the saI- aries of archbishops and bishops 10 per cent, thereby gaining millions without hurting anybody who cannot bear 10 be hurt.
 The p1elates are up in arms, but, ac- cording to current report, they are set ting scant sympathy from the pope, who has intimated that this occasion is an excellent one for them to demon strate their patriotism by renouncing not 10, but 20 per cent of the incomes derived from the state. Even then they would remain among the chuIcn-s we2lthiest princes, for the private revenues of most of the Spanish sees are great,

CUBAN BANDITS HOLDER
BrigaBdS Raid a Town Near Havana
 hilI Two Soldiers, Rob and Burn.

Havana, April 21.-News has just been received from Marianao that 1 twelve or fifteen mounted bandits, one dressed as woman, raided the Pi- nellos plantation, owned by Sonora Puri, two miles south of Caimito and
 ten miles from Havana, at twilight
 yesterday. and took $1OS in silver from
 the owners house. and afterwari
 burned the house of the overseer and
 a warehouse containing 5000 worth of tobacco.
 The bandits then rode into Caimito.
 where they plundered two dwellings.
 and then went to a third, where a
 dance was in progress. A captain, a sergeant and two Cuban soldiers. who were present at the dance, went out of the house to see what was the matter, and other persons present crowded to the doors and windows. The raiders fired volley at close range, killing the captain and one soldier and one man in the house, and wounding the ser geant and another soldier, and two other men who were also inside the building. The bandits then galloped away.
 A report of the raid from Guanajay says that fifteen we'll mounted and armed men, some of them masked, en- tered the village of Caimito at 8 o'clock last night, broke into the house of Jose RodrigueS, where they secured sum of money, first robbed and then killed Jose Haria Armas, and then advanced to the center of the town, where they were met by Cuban ser geant and two soldiers. The bandits killed enc of these soldiers and wound ed the other and the sergeant, after which they rode away.
 The affair was reported at General Lees headquarters. General Mayia Rodriguez was directed to send a body of cavalry with the utmost haste to pursue the outlaws. Much excitement was manifested in the Cuban camp upon the receipt of the order, and joy ful preparations were made as if for a picnic. Three detachments of twenty flee cavalrymen each were sent on different roads to the district in pursuit of the bandits. Caimito is within three miles of the camp of il squadron of the Seventh cavalry, and great surprise is expressed in Havana at the audacity of the ibrigands.
 The Holguin newspapers, describing the operation of the bandits in that say they were led by Pare- jita, who was celebrated as an outlaw leader before the instruction. The band was composed of twelve persons, all black, armed with Winchester and | rifles and 44-caliber re- volvers, and dressed in American l made clothes. The newspapers report | that six villages were raided

CROKER'S SAUCY PARTNER
Counsel Moss Gives Notification That af inc PrOper Time Recall CIfranf witnesses and Other perSons Guilty of ImDroDriefieS Before inc Committee Will Be Handled for Contempt.

New York, April 21.-Two exciting sessions Of the Mazet Investigating co4nrttee were held today. The feat ure was the refusal of witness to give testimony, Another feature was the defiant attitude of Andrew Freed man on the stand, and still another fsature, the election from the com mittee room of Abraham Himmet Weight, of the Roebling company, when he insisted upon making a state ment after he had refused to answer a great majority of the questions put to him by Mir Moss, the consul for the committee
 The chief interest centered in An drew Freeman who, within recent sonal friend of MT. Croker and has been associated with him in a business way. MT. Freedman was more than ordinarily forcibIe rn his answers to some of the questions, and many ques- tions he refused ito answer at all. At other times he was rebuked by both MT Moss and Chairman Mazet for what they termed '.impertinence." After MT. Freedman's examination had progressed to a certain point and the witness had refused several times to answer question regarding what he deemed a personal natter Mr. Moss excused him for the day
 MT. Freedman then got down from the stand, and turning to the news paper reporters he handed them paper, saying: "Gentlmen of the press, here is a statement of the en- tire business of the Platt Company and the Allen Company for publica- tion." This was a paper relating to the business done by the United States Fidelity & Guarantee company, in which MT. Freedman and MT. Crok- CT are interested, and contained in- formation which MT. Moss had de- sired to get at during the course of the examination.
 MT. Moss, therefore, was very in dignant at Freedman's action and he denounced the witness vehemently and recalled him to the stand The questions which he put with regard to the paper to Freedman were not answered, the witness refusing abso- lutely$to state by whom the paper had been prepared. At this junctuGe MT. Moss tock occasion to say that those witnesses who were in contempt would be dealt with later in the reg ular and logical way.
