GkYNOR AND GREENE.
The Two Americans Are Released
From Custody by a Cana
dian Judge.

Quebec, Aug. 14.-Col. John F.
Gaynor and Capt. Benjamin ID. Greene
scored decided victory in their fight
againt extradition to the United
States. They are wanted in connection
with illegal frauds in harbor work for
the federal government, involving
millions of dollars. Judge Caron, in
the superior court, discharged the pris-
oners from the custody of Sheriffs Lam
gelier of Quebec and Valee of Montreal.
in whose official care they have been
since their sensational arrest in Quebec
last May. A large number OF the pris-
oners' friends were in the courtroom,
and they heartily congratulated the two
men upon their release.
COL Gaynor and Capt. Greene left
the courtroom soon after Judge CarOn
had concluded, and proceeded to the
Chateau Frontenac. Col. Gaynor, who
is suffering from rheumatism, retired
to his room. 1t is understood that the
United States government will institute
new proceedings for extIadition, but up
to late hour no step had been taken
by counsel representing the Washington
authorities.
Judge Caron, who spoke in French,
occupied about two hours in delivering
his judgment. In reviewing the legal
proceedings since the arrest of the two
prisoners, he pointed out that their
counsel had raised an important ques-
tion to the warrant issued by Magistrate
Lafontaine as illegal, on the ground
that it did not contain the date nor the
year in which the alleged offense had
been committed. He could not pre-
sumo when the offense was committed.
and it may have been previous to the
signing of the treaty between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain, and if SO,
the accused could not be held, as the
treaties had no retroactive effect.

SOUNDSHIP TRUST
SMALL VESSEL OWNERS FORM
ING A COMBINE.
One of the Most Important Steam
ship Deals on the Pacific Coast
in Many Years---On1y One OBJ
stacIe of Importance in the Way
of It's Contamination.

Seattle, Aug. 14.-W hat is said tC
be one of the most important steamship
deals ever proposed on Puget Sound has
just about reached its consummation,
and includes consolidation of all the
vessels composing the mosquito
feet, hich ply from this city to va.
rious ports in the Sound district. The
deal itself will involve between 81, 000,.
600 and $2,5O0.OO and possibly more,
"a there is no way of accurately ascer.
tanning the proposed amount necessary
for the purchase of the large feet Of
vessels.
Negotiations looking toward the alb
sorption of the Seattle steamers and
their operation under one management
and ownership have been under way for
weeks, but SO quiet has the matter been
kept that not an irkling of it leaked
out until Wednesday.
Those who are reported to be inter
ested in this venture deny that they
have'any knowledge of such proposed
consolidation.
The only thing said to stand in the
way of the consolidation is the alleged
attitude of the Puget Sound Navigation
Company. of which Mr.. Peabody is
president. 1t is understood that he is
holding out of the proposition for $780,
900 for his steamers, of which so per
cent is to be cash and so per cent is
taken out in stock of the new company.
The hackers of the proposed Iconsolida-
tion are said to be willing to give $4O0,-
900, $200,000 in cash and $1,000 in
stock. and if Mr.. Peabody accedes to
this the INCORPORATION papers will pro-
badly be filed Immediately.
The proposition made to all the
steamship men is practically the same,
an offer of half cash on fair valuation
and half stock in the combine.
The money which is to back the con-
solidation comes from Hartman, the
New York banker and millionaire, a
brother of f. H. Hartman of the
Southern Pacific railroad

CUBAN ANNEXATION.
Feeling in Washington That Re-
public Cannot Last.


Washington, Aug. 14.-In Washing
ton, among men intimate with the po-
litical questions of the day, the assur-
ance is given that the sentiment for
the annexation of Cuba is steadily
growing all over the country, and Just
SO soon as this feeling becomes crystal
lied it will be matter of but short
time when the little republic in the
Antilles surrenders herself willingly as
part of the United States. There is
no doubt that this subject has given the
administration considerable thought not
to speak of the beet sugar and sugar
cane producers, who in defeating recip-
rocal relations with Cuba have only
brought this issue to nearer conclu-
sion.
The debatable point in the matter at
present is whether Cuba stands on the
verge of bankruptcy. Certainly from
what can be gathered from the latest
dispatches from Havana it would seem
that disaster menaced the island. The
trust companies in New York have in
structed their branches in Havana to be
extremely careful in making loans
In some instances their Cuban agents
have been cautioned to accept no paper.
Wall street appears to be waiting for a
wave of distress to sweep the financial
institutions of the new republic into
liquidation.

COAL SHORTAGE.
Inquiries Reveal Paucity of the
Anthracite Grade.

New York, Aug. 15.-lnquiries have
been made by the Tribune as to the
stock of anthracite coal on hand al
several cities in the East.
New York city dealers say the sup
ply here has been practically exhaust
ed for weeks. The railroad companies
have been able to deliver only a few
thousand tons a day recently and
much of it is known as washed coal.
Retail price of coal in Jersey City
is SO a ton, delivered. or IS at the
yards and orders are taken only con-
ditionally. The dealers have agents
out purchasing wherever they can
find coal.
Buffalo, N. Y, reports that the Erie
railroads Hillside is the only anthra-
cite that can be bought there at pres
ent 1t sells for IS ton and is not
the best quality of hard coal.
The railroads are maintaining the
utmost secrecy regarding their sup
plies, and even the Erie ofiicials re-
fuse to say how much they have on
hand. All the leading coal dealers
say the supply is exceedingly limited.
At various other places an alarming
shortage of coal is disclosed.

WILL RETALIATE
CUBA PREPARING TO TAX OUR sEx-
PORTS TO THAT ISLAND.
The Proposed Measure Will In
crease the Tariff on Corn Dy
Three Hundred and Thirty-three
Per Cent.---SeriOus Blow TO
American Traders.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Official in
formation has reached Washington from
Havana which leads to the belief that
Cuba is preparing retaliatory measures
against the United States for failure OF
this government to negotiate treaty
of reciprocity with the new republic.
The congress of Cuba is now engaged In
the preparation of tariff bill, some OF
the provisions of which will certainly
strike severe blow at American ex-
porters.
One case which seems very potent in
connection with the retaliation theory
is that of corn The Cuban bill pro-
poses to raise the tariff on corn by 333
per cent.-a rate which would probably
prove prohibitive. The United States
shipped something like $Sl7 900 worth
of corn to Cuba last year.
Another instance is that of wheat
-four, of which this country sold more
than So. 600, 900 in the island last year.
1t is understood here that the Cuban
tariff bill proposes to raise the duty on
wheat to figure about twice as large
as the present rate.
On many other articles which are an
nually shipped to Cuba from the United
States in large quantities the rateJ is
raised fully 100 per cent.
1t goes without saying that if the pro-
posed rates receive the sanction of Pres
ident Palma the export trade of the
United States with Cuba will be
seriously affected.
A significant fact is that only short
time ago the Cuban government was
willing to reduce the tariff on corn.
wheat and other products in the event
that the United States should reduce
the tariff on sugar, the proposed reduc-
in the case of our products going into
the island being from 25 per cent. to
more than 100 per cent.
There is no doubt whatever among
officials of the treasury department that
the proposed raising of tariff rates is a
result of disappointment, to put it
mildly, over the outcome of the pro-
posed reciprocity legislation in Wash
ington this summer.
A good deal of color is given to the
story by Capt. T. l.. Huston. who was
formerly the army engineer officer in
charge of municipal buildings in Ha-
vana during the military occupation.
He makes the somewhat startling state
ment that after it became apparent that
the reciprocity plan of the president
would fail last June. Cuba turned to
England with a request that that coun-
try enter into negotiations with the in
sular government for reciprocal trade
arrangements. England declined the
overtures, however, on the ground that
diplomatic entanglements with the
United States were feared
