HUMAN LIVES AT $3.50 APIECE.

If the craze for aerOnautics Is TO lead TO

Provinces.

Havana. Oct. 2S.-Rumors OF impending
uprisEngs in Pinar del Rio and Guantanamo
are current. Last night attachments Of
troops were hurried to both points from
Camp Columbia. and additional reinforce
ments are going forward to-day.
The government officially denies the ex
istence of trouble. and explains that the
troops are being distributed at Guantanamo
and Pinar del Rio IN order that the money
spent by them at those places may assist
the alienation of the distress OF the storm
victims. The suspicion is general. however
that the governments purpose is TO remove
the troops under the immediate command
of Major General Pine Guerra. as no re-
ports of distress at Guantanamo have ar
rived. Guantanamo having been outside the
zone of the cyclone.

THE DECLINE IN CONSOLS.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your short editorial on the decline
of British consois to below 81 seems TO be
readily explained.
The advance in all values reaches money
as well. All low interest bearing bonds
have been affected. well as those bear
ing a higher rate. but OF less acknowledged
security.
Labor demanded an increase, and received
II. All products of the farm and the loom
demanded more. and IL was granted. The
industrials. both great and small. increased
their output, and II therefore requires more
capital TO turn the sales into money. The
profits from these sources have been large.
and capital has helped make them. Hence
IL asks a greater return for it's service
Therefore all securities of fixed return must
adjust values TO the changing conditions.
