THE CUBAN TRADE.
British Minister Just Issues His Re
 port for 1902.

Bn1tlSn Minister Just issues HIS ue-
 port for 1902.
 London, Sept 5.--The report of the British minister at Havana. MT Car don on the trade of Cuba for 1902 was issued to-day. He says:
 "I'he prospect of the reciprocity convention between Cuba and the United States being eventually sane tioned by congress has not failed to affect British trade, by deterring Gu ban merchants from accepting propos- als to open up business relations with British manufacturers. There can be no doubt that with or without the rec iprocity convention British merchants will have to bestir themselves if they wish to retain their present share of Cuban trade. Combination alone is likely to prove effective in maintain ing our commercial position in this part of the continent"
 Reviewing Cuban trade as q whole, Mir Garden says:
 ''The results for 1903, though not so good as might have been expected in view of the large production of sugar, were by no means bad. 1t is en- couraging to note the steady increase in vegetables for export and the de- velopment of Cuban resources, otsnr than tobacco and sugar"

RECRUITING STATION LEAVES.
The Men in Charge Will Now Spend
 Some Time in Hartford

Some Time ill Hartford.
 The travelling recruiting party for the United States navy, which has had offices in this city and in Poughkeep- sic. N. Y. during the past week, left this afternoon for Hartford where they will remain for the next two weeks. The party had very little success in this city and in Poughkeepsie in enlist ing recruits for the navy. There were thirty applicants at the local office. Of these four were accepted and two were enlisted The enlisted men are Ar thur Oscar Baer of 591a Kingsbury street and Williams H. Fairclough of e5 High street. They enlisted as lands men. The officer in charge of the ca, recruiting station said today: we had very poor success in this city and in Poughkeepsie in securing recruits for the navy. Apparently there Is lack of interest among the young men in this city. It is the wrong field for recruits. The majority of the appliA cants were very poor physically. We prefer to secure recruits from the west. Magnificent specimens of manhood are secured out there. Big husky youths who are ten times better than the chaps who hang around the street cor ners in cities as large as Waterbury. join the navy in the west. We don't want any of these city chaps who are loafers. There is very decent crowd of men in the navy now"

ing in Demerara.
 New York, Sept 5.-Sam Honang, British subject, who is said to be one of the wealthiest residents of the is land of Demerara, is held aboard the steamship Grenada, of the Trinidad line. and denied landing in this coun- try by the immigration inspectors on the ground that it would be violation of the Chinese exclusion act. Honang who owns one of the largest cocoa plantations on the island, decided a few weeks ago that he would take a trip through the United States and Europe Letters of introduction to prominent and wealthy persons all over the world were forwarded by his correspondents and he set out on his voyage. Honang never has been in China. He was born in Demerara of Chinese parents. They were N both British subjects so that the Chinese exclusion act did not figure in his plans. When the ship reached her dock at Long Island City, the immigra- ton inspectors held up the traveller, who finally called upon friends in New York for aid.
 The inspectors would not release nm, however, ana the papers together with Honang's passport were forward ed to the authorities at Washington.
 The vessel soon will be ready for her return passage and it is question whether the planter will be landed on Ellis island pending the decision from Washington or whether the captain of the Grenada who is responsible for his passenger under the terms of the ex- clusion act, will have to take him back | to Demerara.

SOLDIERS OUT IN E0RCE l
Cripple Creek Now in the Hands
 of the Militia
Troops Were Ordered Out by Governor Peabody - Adjutant-General Bell Perfected Plans and Had Soldiers on the Move in Short Order.

Denver, Col, Sept 5.-The special train bearing the first contingent of the National Guard ordered to Cripple Creek by Governor Peabody in connec- ton with the strike of the miners in that district, arrived at Gillette early to-day. Since the start from Denver, Adjutant-G General Sherman Bell has perfected plans for the mobilization of the entire state militia, numbering l. 600, should he wish to do so. An ar- senal will established and within twenty-four hours 100000 rounds of ammunition will be stored in the go camp. When asked whether he antici- pated any serious trouble, General Bell said:
 ''I do not know what we will meet with, but l shall be prepared for any thing that may turn up"
 Rumors that an attempt would be made to interfere with the progress of the troops toward Cripple Creek caused General Bell to change tho route of travel from the short line road to the Colorado Midland. So perfect were the arrangements that none of his personal staff knew of the generals intention until they were aboard the train leaving Colorado Springs. Prior to tl.a departure of the main body of the troops from Colorado Springs a special bearing armed militiamen was sent out Detachments from this com pany were dropped off at the bridges along the route and left to guard them until the several sections following were safely over.

Constantinople, Sept 5.-Although in nigh Turkish official circles the ten ,iency is decidedly against war the un- rest among the military element and tn certain sections of the Mussulman civil population has markedly in- creased during the past few days. Considerable significance is attached to the sultan's gift of woolen coats to the troops and the appeal to the pub He for similar contributions The local papers are further inflaming the Mus sulmans by publishing highly coloreA accounts of the ill-treatment of Mus sulmans by Bulgarian brigand bands"
 The opinion of the foreign diplo- mats here is divided regarding the is- sue. Great importance is attached to the coming meeting between the czar and Emperor Francis Joseph, which is expected to be followed by decisive steps in the direction or guar. anteeing the Nfacedonians radical re- fomrs.
 Minister Leishman has received a telegram from United States Consu, RayndAl, at Beirut, saying that the au thorities at that place apparently have not yet secured the man who fired al Vice Consul Magelssen, and adding that the arrest among others of if teen year old boy seems to indicate that they do not realize the gravity or the situation.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-09-05

uOEGO lIOOPSt hHNG dAASt'NeS crossed the Turkish frontier without declaration of war. The Turkish press Is printing infammatory articles.
 Berlin, Sept 5.-The Turkish govern- ,nent, according to information fe- ceived from the foreign office here by the Associated Press, has notified the powers that the porte cannot Suaran- tee the safety of the legations at Con stantinople
 This extraordinary statement was communicated, without explanation or qualifying details, in response to, an inquiry as to whether German marines were among those United States min ister Leishman reported as having been landed at Constantinople.
 It is inferred here, however, that the conditions at the Turkish capital are not so bad as the sultan's notiti- cation would imply, but that the le- gations have been warned to look out for their own safety, the porte dis claiming in advance responsibility for any disorderly act.
 The foreign office officials added that the German, embassy at Con- stantfnople had not reported whether German marines had been landed nor whether marines of any other power had been landed. Complete official reserve is maintained on this point.
 The Associated Press correspondent learned from sources outside the for eign office that the German govern ment regards .Turko-Ball1an affairs as having entered on an acute phase. The porte's inability to take energetic hold of the Macedonian insurrection is the worst feature of the situation.
 The apparent weakness of the Turk ish government is due largely to it's long deference toward the powers and to the division in the councils within the palace, which is regarded here as justifying the view that Turkey is in- capable of preserving order in her Flu ropean provinces unless she is allowed an absolutely free hand to deal with the insurgents as she pleases. Pres sure is being brought to bear on Rus sia and Austria on this point, as con tinuance of the crisis, it is asserted, can only result in the drifting of the powers and the porte alike toward fresh dangers.

ToneStd, Pa.

Dear Sir: Here's an interesting story
about paint. We give you the name of
the story-teller; write him and find out
all about it.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, of Girard,
Penn, painted his house with Devoe Lead
and Zinc paint. He thought it teXpensive,
but he bought it After finishing the job,
he brought back nearly half the paint
and said it was the cheapest job of pant
ing he ever did.
Write to Mr.. Burt Young and Mr.. T..
X. Hiler of the same place. Also to Mr..
II. II. Stephenson, Cashier of Oil City
PA Savings Bank.
1t is the cheapest paint in the world
because it is all paint. 1t covers most
surface to the gallon, and wears longest.
There's going to be lot of this paint
used in Tionesta. When it gets a foot
hold, it never lets up; and the painter
who uses Devoe Lead and Zinc is going
to save money for his patrons.
Yours truly,
