Headless Body cf a W'-man Washed
ASHORE at Coney Island.

New York, Sapt. 24.-The mutilated
body Cf a woman was washed ashore
at the foot of KensingtCn'a Walk,
Coney Island this afternoon. The
body, which was nude. was headless,
and the right leg ard beth arms were
missing. The upper portion OF the left
leg looked as if it had been eaten away
by fishes To all appearances the
body had been in the water for some
time. There was ncI. the slightest
mark about it that would lead to iden-
tifcaticn. The body was discovered
by Frank Walsh and Charles Crane of
Coney Island, who were walking
along the beach They notified the
police, and the body was removed to
Havrons morgue.
Ambulance Surgeon Cochrane who
examined the body said that the wo-
man had been about five feet six inches
in height and weighed about 130
pounds The head had evidently been
severed by coming in contact with the
propeller of a steamer, and the arm
and leg had, in all probability been
torn away in the same manner. The
police said last night that they did not
believe a crime had been committed,
and that the Ecdy was probably that

ted suicide or met death by accidental

the Spanish consul general, is acting
with great moderation, and is doing
/ everything possible to prevent con-

the laws and respect the sentiments of

attempted to give ball last night de-
spite Governor RiveTa's ordap that
! there should be no festivities because
of the reinterment yesterday OF the
bodies of General Antonio Maceo and
! Lieutenant Francisco Gomez at Beju-
cal. The Cubans were incensed when
they learned of the intention CT the
! Spaniards. They gathered in force
and appealed to Chief CT Police Car
denas, who sent word to the Spaniards
that the ball could not be held. The
latter were inclined to disGbey the or
der, and they sought Senior Sagrario
for his advice, The consul general
told them that they must obey this or
der and must conduct themselves as
friends and not enemies CT the Gu
bans if they wished to live here. This
did not suit the 3Spaniards and some of
the more h0tEeaded among them have
issued a circular urging that steps be
taken to secure Senor Sagrario's re-
call.

IRON AND STEEL
Figures Showing Growth of Exports
From This Country.

Washington, Sept 24.-(Special)-
The rapid growth in exports CT manu-
factures CT iron. and steel and the
simultaneous decrease in the impoc-
tation cf manufactures OF iron and
steel seem to have been coincidentaI
with a similar gCrwth i'll the prcduc-
ton OF pig iron in the United States.
A statement just prepared by the
treasury bureau 1f statistics places in
parallel columns the figures showing
the growth in the production of pig
ircn in the United Stat3s from 1880
to 1898 and the imports and exports CT
manufactures CT iron and steel in the
corresponding years. This shows that
the production Of pig ircn in the Unit
ed States has grown from 1885, 191
tons in 1880 to II, 49, ,934 tons in 1898,
and Mr.. J. Stephens Jeans, secretary
CT the British Iron Trade association,
estimates the pig iron production in
1899 at 100000 tons. Meantime the
export CT manufactures If iron and
steel has grown from $14,716, ,524 in the
fiscal year 1880 to $93,715,951 in the
fiscal year 1899, while the Importation
of manufactures of iron and steel has
fallen from S71 zee, ,699 in 1880 to S12,-
O98, ,239 in 1899.
That the growth in the production CT
pig iron and in iron and steel manu-
factures generally is likely to continue
fcr the present, seems to be the con-
sensus of opinion both in the United
States and elsewhere. The Railway
and Engineering Review, discussing
the phenomenal increase in iron manu-
featuring in the United States which
shows an Increase of 33 per cent in the
expectation OF iron and steal during
the past year, says that "the expan-
sion of the iron and steel-making ca /!
pacfty and projection of new mills and
furnaces announced in the trade jour |
nails generally shows that the year |
1900 will be one of phenomenal activ- !
ity and expansion. There are no evi- |
dences that the demand is being ever |
taken by the supply. The fact is
known that every furnace and mill /
owner has a bunch of promises to keep /
with anxious consumers which Will
take months to fill" Secretary Jeans
Of the British Iron Trade Journal is
also quoted as expressing the belief
that the United States will in 1899 pro-
duce 100000 tons cf pig iron, as
against 11,774,000 tons last year, and
that she will produce nearly twc-ffths
IF the pig iron Of the world.

The Nebraska Troops.

In his public letter to the attorney
general of the United States Edward
Atkinson declared that he was influence
ed to mail his literature to the soldiers
in Manila because the relatives OF the
Nebraska volunteers could not COM
municate with them and he desired to
make test case. This statement has
aroused comment everywhere, and par
ticularly in Nebraska. The letters
continually appearing in the papers
ought to reassure any doubling Thomas
that there is unrestricted and unlimited
freedom OF communication between the
soldiers and their friends at home,
whether from Nebraska or any other
State of the Union. In the State in
question the various families repre-
sented among the Nebraska volunteers
denounce Mr.. Atkinson's statement
and assert that they can communicate,
and do communicate, with the boys
around Manila whenever they care to
do so,
The only ground for Mr.. Atkinson's'
statement appears to have been de-
spatch an auxiliary committee of an
Omaha military company, with a Mrs.
James White as chairman, sent with
out signature other than the word
"Committee" to the boys, advising
them to insist upon being mustered out
at Manila, and not wait till they had re-
turned to their homes. This fussy
message was properly held up by the
military censor, and the government,
on the appeal of the COMMITTEE" de-
clned to interfere. But that was
very different thing from Mr.. Atkin-
sons charge.
