BRITISH RAILROADS
THERE HAVE BEEN DECREASES
IN DIVIDENDS DURING
THE PAST YEAR.

London, Jan. 1.-THE agitation in
favor Of railway reform in this coun-
try has received great impetus from .
speech made by Mr.. Hamburg, presi-
dent of the board Of agriculture and a
member Of the British cabinet, at a
conference of farmers at Leicester, in
which he said it was matter for re-
gre; that the British railway COM
panies were not composed more OF
men OF business and less Of ornament.
al directors, so that the railways
might be managed in a more business
like way.
British railway dividends for tine
half year ended December 81 are ex-
peoted to show up well in comparison
with 'be previous distribution. but,
taking a wider view of the finance Of
the railways OF this country, every
year for the last decade has seen
capital increase and dividends de-
crease. The proportion Of working
expenses to total gross receipts has
systematically increased in the same
periods, while, on the other hand,
the proportion Of net receipts to CAP
ital decreased. Passenger traffic is
steadily becoming less pro fitsble, and
the companies may have to face an
enormous capital expenditure in the
near future, rs the reforms which
must accompany any reorganization
of the goods traffic will involve a
heavy outlay.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. cl.-Spaak-
ing at the village of e Caney. close
to the scene of the baltic between the
Americans and the spaniards, Presi-
dent Palma urged the Cuban peopts
TO Jealousy guard the ideals they Lad
Obtained by means OF intervention
The presidential party was enthusi.
astically received CT their arrival al
Ell Caney. The a.calde having re.
marked that the gathering was mostly
composed of veterans, President Pal
ma said he wanted to pay the army
as lady as anybody, because the pay
fnent was not only an act of justice,
but was necessary TO the reconstruc-
ton of the country, The only way to
sacrifice the republic would be to
bring about civil war. He believed
there was not one veteran in a thou
sand who would not prefer to main
tain the honor of Cuba, even to the
extent of forfeiting his soldiers pay.
The Cubans having accepted United
States Intervention as means of end
ing their troubles, were under an obli-
cation to follow those ideals and prove
themselves q peaceable people.
Speaking of the appearance of the
band of insurrectiolists near Santiago.
