Urge Delay OF Independence.

Havana, June Cen
eral Wood has had many callers.
among them lawyers, bankers, mer-
chants and even two members Of the
former cabinet. who have taken the.
position that the United States govern
ment is going ahead too fast in the di-
rection OF granting independence to
Cuba. Those who take this ground
assign it as the reason for their de-
scision not to Join in the coming cleo!
stions. They point ext that there is not
a single candidate In the island who is
not professional politician. and they
argue that to turn Cuba over to men Of
this class would mean the islands abb
solute ruin.
These visits We're due to a report
that Gen. Wood. in all probability,
would call a constitutional convention
in September.

Europe After cotton.

Nashville, Tenn, June 12.-Europe is
reaching for the remainder of the cot
ton crop Of 1Ss9-19oO. The cotton mills
of England, the continent and America
are engaged in a worldwide gamble
on the growing crop. II they can de-
press prices to point at which they
can purchase the contracts now made
at a profit their success is assured. The
present market is being governed en-.
tirely by reports as to the growing
crops. The weather map is being
studied and not statistics. For twelve
days steady rain has been pouring
down over the entire belt. Grass is
growing, the farmers are gloomy and
cotton goods continue to decline.
The total estimated increase Of cot-
ton acreage in the United States for
1900 is 4-10 per cent or 1,222,54 acres
more than last year. and the average
planting is twenty days later than in
1899. Crop conditions at this time are
far less favorable than at the same
time last wear.

Fire in Newsp.per omce.,

New York, June 12.-Fire which
started on the fifth floor OF the Tribuns,
building last night at midnight,
threatened for a time to get beyond the
control OF the firemen and destroy the
structure.
The fire burned fercely for twenty
minutes before the engines arrived
and the flames shot out Of the windows
across Franklin street and on the rear,
making brilliant light. The entire
building was filled with smoke and
compositors of the Tribune and Jour-
nal and all others in the building hur-
ried out for safety. The floor where
the fire started, however. was not oc-
3cupied by any departments OF the
newspapers. The firemen got at the fire
from the roof Of the Sun building and
by means Of the water tower. and in
half an hour had the blaze under con-
troll.
The Tribune building is at Nassau
and Spruce streets and is nine stories
high, surmounted by tall clock
tower. 1t is built in the form Of an
i" the extension running at right
angles thru to Franklin street. The
building is occupied by the Tribune
and Journal newspapers and numerous
Offices. including those of st. Louis and
several Chicago newspapers.
In the hollow of the Il" andl on
Nassau street stands the old Sun build
ing, which is veritable fire trap. This
was of course threatened by the Gre
which began on the floor just above the
Sun building roof. The Tribune COM
posing room was on the ninth floor ii
the section of the building which was
burning. The editorial rooms OF the
Tribune are on the same floor, but In
the main part. which fronts on Nassau
street. The Journal composing room:
are below the fire and are flooded by
water.
The fire was confined to the floor OF
which it started.
