thousand people assembled at the rail

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
4 Review or Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 2.-On Tues day of last week there was a. severe break in fat steers, 15 to 30 cents but after that the market made partial recovery. Cows and heifers did not lose as much as steers, and closed the week nearly steady. Feeders declined with fat steers, but stOckers held steady. The supply of cattle today is much reduced. the market is 10 to 15 cents higher, and prospects are there fore promising for the balance of the week. The cheaper grades of cattle have been selling fairly well lately, and the medium and light grass cat tie from Indian Territory and Texas. in the quarantine divisions have made advances in each of the last two weeks, in the face of lower prices for fat steers. The situation just now seems to be the result of too many cattle on feed but now that they have been worked off pretty closely, there should be a good outlet for the lighter grade that do not run into beef so rapidly. A few fat steers from eastern Colorado sold lately at S4.6504S5. Several shipments of Panhandle stockers were here late last week, at around S3.65, feeders from $3.5O@3.SO. Nine hundred to 1025fb grass steers are brin ging IT., and this class will command the same or a little more in the native division from killers. Veals have fuctuated considerably lately, but sell at $5@ $50.
 The mutton market is a shade low CT than week ago. taking into con- sideration an advance of 10 cents. Packers complain of bad conditions in the mutton market east, but seem willing to take all that come at pres ent prices. Two shipments of Arizo- mas sold at $4.75 yesterday. 92 and 1O7 pounds respectively; Texas ewes at $4.35. native spring lambs at $7. Some light wooded Colorado lambs 66fb, sold last week at $6.75, and grass yearlings bring around $5.25. No straight western grass muttons have sold here this season, but they will meet a good reception when they do

Santiago de Cuba. Under republican government, a private company, the Cuba Railroad company, has estab lished railway connection between the east and the west of the island in two years and 9 half Without indepen- dence, the 435 miles of the Central railway, the sure vanguard of a period of prosperity, would not exist
 During the last period of our dis mai rule the trade balance was reg ularly against the island. In 1903, un- der independence, the exports rose to $7S,4S6,4O9, while the imports were $67,077, ,67O. In 1899 the adverse bal ance was $22,OOO, ,0OO. Commerce be- tween Spain and Cuba has of late somewhat expanded, though it has not yet reached the figures of 1899 Yet nothing has been done by our govern ment toward a commercial treaty which might secure our future trade with the island.
 During the last instruction the number of taxpayers was 24,647. In 1901, at the time of the American in- tervention, the number had risen to 22. .2n6.
 "rhere has been an increase in the exports of mining products (principally iron, asphalt and manganese), as well as in the sugar production, which has once more passed the miIlion-ton mark, which was exceeded only in 1894
 "In the second year of the republic the increase in the quantity of sugar cane ground was 20 per cent over the preceding year; in sugar production lG per cent.
 "In the first year of the republic z 2rHC r.n fGIa .E, the second year. 14,O91.
 There is room in Cuba for ten times it's population, and with the IT sent prosperity it cannot fail to de Nelop rapidly.
 ''The yellow fever was a chronic re- pIoach to our colonial administration A few months of hygiene and sanita- ton during the American intervention aid more for the island than the power of Spain had done in four centuries.
 "In 1880. under colonial regime, there were in Havana 7.492 deaths, or 3994 per thousand. Six hundred and forty five deaths were from yellow fever. At from smallpox. In 1901, under Yankee intervention. the mortality had been reduced to 5,720, or 22.09 per thousand There were only IS deaths from yellow fever and none from smallpox.
 These comparisons are far from hattering to our colonizing methods and our public men. In order that Cuba might liken herself to the great modern nations in hygiene, instruction, governmental mechanism, industrial development, etc, she had to escap from our sway. Had she continued subject to Spain. she would still be afflicted with the troubles from which she suffered before the revolution"

The POtemKine not Only Sails Away but the Punitive Fleet Sent From SebastopOl Returns snd DisarIns. The Whole Situation in the Black Sea Is Enough to flake the Un- laughing Japanese Laugh.

St. Petersburg, July S.-(3:4O a. m.) The unprecedented spectacle of a powerful modern battIeship cruising around in the Black sea in the hands of a crew who, under the rules of in- ternational law, cannot be regarded as other than pirates, and of the admiral in command of the rest of the Black sea fleet frankly confessing his inabil- ity to cope with the situation and or dering the fires of his warships to be drawn, has stupefied the Russian ad- miraIty.

The situation would furnish a libretto for a comic opera were not the elements of the plot so serious.
 Dispatches from Odessa and Sebas- topol, which are confirmed by the ad- miralty, clear up fully the present sit uation. The Kniaz Potemkine has sailed from Odessa and is now at large, and her crew. reinforced by sympa- thizers from ashore, is still in control of the vessel
 On the Georgi Pobiedonosetz, which cast it's fortunes with the Kniaz Potemkine after it's arrival at Odessa, it's officers and the more loyal or more timOrous portion of the crew again gained the upper hand and agreed to surrender and disarm the ship.

 The sailors of the Ekaterina II We're known to be so mutinous that the bat tleship was left behind when the squadron started for Odessa; The whole was dismissed and the ship dis armed. The Kniaz Potemkine, which was steering a southerly course when she left Odessa, would within a few hours be south of tho Russian limits and may next be heard from at sornee Balkan or Turkish port.
