and Personal Notes.

The United States Investor contains a
lengthy article on the passing of its quar-
terly dividend by the Lake Erie & Western.
Among other things it says: IAN official
circular was issued late last week to the
stockholders, stating in effect that after the
payment Of fixed charges for the year 1898
ret earnings would amount to about $IIf,OOJ.
The amount paid in dividends was $444, 900;
the amount necessary to make up the inter
est guaranteed by the road on the Northern
Ohio bonds is $125,O00 and, in addition to
this it was necessary to expend 100000
upon the purchase of rails and for better
ments II was clear. therefore, that no fur
Their dividends can be paid out of the earn
ings of the present year, and the sugges-
tons that money be borrowed or new Sc
curities issued were deemed inadvisable.
During the next two years, they further
state, it will be necessary to eXpend $4,000
upon new cars, bridges and culverts, and in
the purchase of new steel and air brakes,
in consequence of which dividends could not
be resumed for some time to come. The
circular further states: In addition to these
immediate disbursements for the mainten-
ance of the property, the company has one
or two large obligations, which will be the
subject of future consideration, but as to
which the management would be glad to
confer at the office of the company, at any
time, with any shareholder who may wish
to be informed in respect to them"

Despite the extensive famine in Rus
sia which takes that great wheat rails
ing country out of the worlds markets
this year as an export nation, prices of
wheat and corn in this country little
more than repay the farmer for his la
Dor. Were Russia in the international
markets with her normal supply of
grain, the American farmer can imag-
inc what prices he would be receiving
The prosperity we hear so much about
in the industrial or trust world-for
about all industry is now trust-con-
trOlled-has not reached the farmer.
The prices of his farm lands as well
as the prices of his products, despite
the Russian famine, are poor, indeed
not very far above panic prices. And
there is no real prosperity that does
not reach the farmer.

Havana, April 23.-Every now and
again some prominent Spaniard calls
upon Major General Brooke and en-
deavors to learn in more or less Dip
lomatic way how long the United
United States government intends to
occupy Cuba. Such caller usually
says that his stay will be only as long
as that Of the American troops, and
that when they go he will go.
The same sort of questions are asked
of the United States military authori-
ties at the various provincial csasitols
and of such civilian Americans as are
supposed to be cognizant of the pur-
poses of President Mckinley in the
main. The Spaniards are apparently
apprehensive as to the future and pass
age to Europe by the French and
American lines is being booked three
or four months ahead. Last month
6,46S persons left Cuba for the United
States, many of whom were Spaniards
bound ultimately for Spain. In the in
terror districts the Spaniards are kept
in constant discomfort by anonymous
threats and occasional outrages.
Charges of dishonesty brought
against certain American civilian pur-
chasing agents for the engineering de-
partment of Havana are now under in
quiry. The complaints are said to
have originated with Spanish dealers
who allege that they have been invited
to offer brides.
Sine Coca, foreman of street clean
ers, has been detected in Offering pa
per roll containing thirty-two names,
while he had but twenty men under his
direction
Captain Greble will succeed Captain
John Gary Evans as police magistrate
and superintendent of the department
of corrections.
One of the local papers asserts that
several former Spanish officers now
residing here intend to offer to the
United States, through Governor Gen
eral Brooke, their services in the cam
paign against the FilipinOs. Senior
Perez, dealer in secondhand books,
is quoted as having caid that he and
his friends are confident of being able
to enlist a regiment in Cuba.
The official returns show that during
the first quarter of the year $5,341 900
was imported and $2,OO9.259 exported,
ALI the latter going to Spain except
81 100000, which went to the United
States In a fierce electric storm at
Flor de Sagua yesterday a boy was
killed and two girls were injured by
lightning.
The temperature in Havana at three
o'clock this afternoon was Is degrees
Fahrenheit.

JUSTICE To GALLANT MEN.


There has been, since the fighting
at Santiago, a great deal of adverse
criticism of the Seventy first New
York regiment. After an investiga-
ton into the record of the regiment
it is evident that the conduct of at
least two companies was above criti-
cism. The following paragraph taken
from the New York World, addressed
by Gov. Theo. Roosevelt to the officers
of the Seventy-first found guilty OF
cowardice, will go towards relieving
these two companies of the burden OF
criticism heaped upon the regiment.
Gov. Roosevelt says:
81 am glad to feel that the showing for
the enlisted men and company officers of
the Seventy-irst regiment is in the main
so good. If properly led the regiment
and / desire to call special attention to
the notable achievements of the companies
led up San Juan Hill by Capts. Goldsboro
and Rafferty,. They should be singled out
for commentator, for they performed
their duties as brave men should
Mr.. Dwight Wagner, of this city, who
is now slowly recovering from the eff
fects of the Santiago campaign, served
under Captain Goldsboro in Company
M, referred to above, and the words of
commentator of the New York Gov
ernor are greatly appreciated by Mr..
Wagner and his friends
