As WAS apparent six years ago, fate
plaved merciul hand in the affairs Of
Spain when she was relieved OF her CO.
lonial possessions. The Castilian for
centuries had wasted his energy, depleted
his exchequer, impovished his own
country and superinduced discomfort at
home in endeavoring to perform a mis-
sion too much for his strength, and now,
shorn of dependencies, is forging ahead,
bringing wealth, peace and happiness to
old Spain. The economic condition OF
that country is much improved, and the
country has recovered from the crisis
brought on by the war with the United
States in 1898, according to Richard
Guenther, the American consul general
at Frankfort, Germany, in report to
the State Department. The consul says
that the foreign trade of Spain in 1903
amounted to 1897, ga, 900 - imports,
Si72, 1876, 900; exports, $l64, S99, 700
He saws Spain has productive soil, and
could raise much larger quantity Of
foodstufs than is required for home con-
sumption. Instead of importing food
stuffs, cattle, tobacco, coal, &C., Spain
might expor. these articles. Mr.. Guen-
ther adds that last year Spain paid for
imported coal $l2,416, 300, while her
coal deposits are scarcely touched. Her
extensive coast is rich in fish, yet
So, 100000 were spent last year for
imported fish. He closes by saying that
the Germans are active in canvassing
Spanish markets, and that German CAPT
talists and promoters are alive to the
exploiting opportunities which Spain S

States is now burdened with Porto Rico,
the Philippines, Samoan and Sandwich
Islands. and placed in position where
she is necessarily compelled to exercise

belief of many.

Labor Union Men Indicted.

Philip Weinseimer, leader of the

on another charge Of extortion. The
complaint in the second case is made by
Charles Tucker, a plumbing contractor,
of As University place. According to

Count Cassni's recent interview in
which he declared that the scheme Of
Secretary Hay for the preservation of
the administrative entity OF China had
practically failed, has caused no little
gossip in official and diplomatic circles
here. The fact that the interview was
evidently written out by the Russian
ambassador himself, and was not merely
an informal talk with newspaper cor
respondent, would tend only to increase
the responsibility OF the ambassador for
the words employed. While It is not
regarded likely that this government
will make any representations to the
Russian government concerning the in
cident, it would not be surprising if the
latter would take up the matter of its
own initiative and transfer the ambassa-
dor to another post. 1t is known that

matte corps were greatly surprised that
he should discuss in such public man.
ner the relations of the United States
with Russia and the Orient. In the
language of one of them, who was
asked for an expression on the interview,
"Cassini talks too much" 1t will be
observed that the interview was very
adroitly worded, and that there is no
single sentence therein to which Mr.. Hay
could take exception. The whole tone,
however, was in the nature of belittling
and deprecatiug the efforts of this gov
eminent to restrict the field of hOstiities
in the Orient, by showing how circum
stances have combined against the realiza-
ton of Mr.. Hays plan. This, it is be-
lieved. could not be but distasteful to the
81. Petersburg government, which, from
the beginning Of the war, has endeayored
to work up sympathy in America for the
Russian cause. The course followed by
Mr.. Takahira, the japanese minister, has
been conspicuously in contrast to that
taken By the Russan,in that he has con-
sistenty refrained from discussing the
war in general, or the position of the
United States in particular. After the
appearance o: the Cassini interview, the
Japanese minister was inclined to make
a rcioinder through the public prints,
but after carefully considering the mat

be to pass it up to the Toxic foreign OIL

The "Rlack Hand Again.

The "Black Hand" of vengeance in
Athens, Pa, last night and two men are
lying in the Robert Packer Hospital at
Sayre as a result of that mysterious band
of Italian bandits. The men who were
attacked are Dominica Mostello and
Giuseppe Scirona, Italians. Sometime
ago Mostello informed the Lehigh Valley
Railroad detectives identity of the three
members of the Mana gang who held up
a large number of Italians at Lake Carey
and le7ied tribute on them. The mem.
bers of the "Black Hand" were arrested,
but it was impossible to convict them,
as Mostello and all the other Italians
were afraid to testify against them in oDen
court. Soon afterwards two Of the three
men robbed MOstello Of 500 On TLuas
day night one Of the three, said to be
member of the Malta band of New York,
leading some recent recruits made from
the Athens Italian colony, again attack
ed Mostello and Scirona, and they seCur-
ed considerable money from Mostello and
$75 from Seirona. Then the leader of
the band deliberately shot MOstello twice
and stabbed him several times with a
stiletto. Scirona was shot through the
face and two teeth knocked outand II base
of his tongue injured. tits probable that
Mostelo's injuries will prove fatal. I'M
mediately after the shooting this story
was procured through an interpreter, but
none of the Italians will tell anything of
the mysterious affair, aud as a result the
police are unable to make arrests.
