'l‘hcy Served to Retard .the Industry.
Speculative \VoOl Sales Continue '
Large—Cotton Market Lifeless.
Failures of the Week.

.NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—R. G. Dun‘& Co. ’s
weekly review of trade says:

The classified failures for November
show gratifying reduction compared with
October and are especially important as
showing that the peculiar disturbance dur—
ing the presidential campaign, which
swelled failures $36,000,000 in August and
September, did not prevent quick return
to a monthly aggregate scarcely greater
than that of May. - Defaulted liabilities in
11 months have been $198,738,459, against
$148,544,202 last year, the increase being
only- 314,000,000 outside of those two
months, and this remaining increase of
only 10 per cent was also in part due to the
alarm during the campaign. The decline
of failures to about 40 per cent of the Sep-
tember aggregate gives stronger ground
for the confidence so generally expressed.

Ground for confidence is also found in
the abandonment of two of the largest
combinations by which the iron industry
has been retarded, and the possibility that
two others will be abandoned. Such a
state of things within a. month after the
election suggests that these organizations,
formed when depressed business failed to
support all the works in existence, are not.
expected to survive a general revival and
ample demand for products. The imme—
diate effect of breaking prices is to check
large buying of iron and steel products,
but it will soon be seen about where prices
are to range. At present the base price for
wire nails is $1. 25, against $2. 55 two weeks
ago, with greater reduction on small sizes
because new cards reduced “ extra” charges.
Beams are Selling at $1.35, against $1.55
two weeks ago, and there are sales of bil-
lets below the fixed price. The bar com-
bination is still undersold by steel bars at
1.1 cents, and nothing is doing in rails be-
cause the meeting shortly to be held will
settle-whether any price shall be fixed for
next year. Bessemer pig at Pittsburg is
lower at $11.65, and gray forge at $10,
but there is large demand for vessel plates,
both on foreign contracts and for the lakes.
Several thousand cars have been ordered
and numerous new buildings and bridges.

Hides and Leather.

The new demand for boots and shoes is
so scanty that some works are about out
of orders, though many still have enough,
taken at old prices or a slight advance, to
run through the year. Buyers generally
decline to pay the larger advance now
asked, and prices of leather do not yield.
Hides at Chicago have again fallen about
5 per cent and are scarcely higher than a
month ago. Minor metals are a shade
stronger. The coke Combination has
changed its method so that contracts are
openly made below prices recently ruling,
and there is some partition of consumers
among the producing interests. Anthra-
cite sells below the official circular, but
better demand is expected with revival in
manufacturing. Wool manufacture is wait.
ing, and, while more concerns are at work,
the newr demand improves but little with
more favorable weather. Speculative sales
of wool continue large, London prices hav-
ing risen 10 per cent, and the average of
104 quotations by Coates Bros. is 13.66
cents against 12.92 a month ago. In the
cotton manufacture there is little change,
though'goods are selling better, but with
mafiy added works production exceeds
present demand.

The market for raw cotton is lifeless
with some options a little lower. With
over 4,750,000 bales in sight by Dec. 1,
when the crop is usually about half in
sight, current estimates would leave only
3,500,000 more to come forward in nine
months, and the larger consumption in
mills does not advance prices. Other prod-
uce markets have been weaker. Wheat
rose to the close last week, declined 1%
cents, but started upward again Thursday,
closing one-eighth cent higher for the
week. There is still confident buying as
receipts at the west continue short. Storms
have some influence, but receipts for the
week were only 2,964,821 bushels against
7,014,911 last year. Atlantic exports were
slightly smaller, flour included, 1,992,467
bushels against 2,326,093 last year, but the
sharp advance in prices would naturally
check shipments. Milling returns at the
four largest western centers show a de-
crease of 28,490 barrels for the week, and
further decrease is expected.

The Volume of Business.

The volume of business shown by clear.
ing house returns was for the past week
nearly 1 per cent over last year, and for
the month of November 3 per cent, and 11
per cent less than 1892, the comparison be-
ing the best for the past five months. The
great improvement compared with three
previous months is especially encouraging
because railway trafiic in November was
small, earnings falling 11.6 per cent below
last year and 12.7 below 1892. The traffic
is affected by lack of cars owing to the
previous heavy movement, and Chicago
east bound shipments for four weeks were
270, 664 tons against 289,269 last year. The
weakness in stocks for some days was part-
ly due to small earnings, but after falling
from $49. 69 on Friday last to $49 at the
close on Monday, London buying, which
exceeded sales by 10,000 shares, and the
demand from some investors, raised the
average of active railway stocks to $49.77
at the close. Trust stocks also closed
slightly higher for the week.

The treasury shbws a. deficit of $8,050,-
004 for the month and $52,293, 770 for 11
months, but has been much strengthened
by receipts of 'gold in exchange for legal
tenders, of which the actual circulation
has increased $20,000,000. Compared with
a year ago the increase in all circulation is
$52,200,000. Foreign exchange is kept
strong by large operations which are vir-
tually lending money to London, and the
receipts of 82, 500,000 last week from the
interior, with absorption of stocks and
payment of time loans on them, makes
money plenty and cheaper. Of good com-
mercial paper the supply is much below
the demand, though large amounts have
been taken, including much eastern mill
paper. Failures for the week have been
379 in the United States, against 324 last
year, and in. Canada 55, against 52 last
year. '

THE E vENi N n 2 EM

THE CUBADIIDBELLION.

The Spaniards DO Not Appear to Be
Making Much Progress.

REGENT USES OF DYNAMITE. "

A Courageous Paper In Havana Actually
Tries to Frighten the United States.
The Attitude of Our Press
Declared Insulting.

ATLANTA, Dec. 5.-The Rev. A. J. Diaz,
the Baptist missionary of Havana who was
driven from Cuba several months ago on
account of alleged affiliation with the in-
surgents, has reached this city from Texas,
where he has been engaged in church work.
While in New Orleans he met several Cu-
bans, who gave him interesting accounts
of what is going on in the island. These
Cubans had come over from Havana on the
steamer Aransas and were going to make
the Crescent City their home. They have
been permitted to leave the island because
of the fact that they were taking no part
in the war.

“I was told,” said Diaz, “that every-
thing was at a standstill in Havana. There
is absolutely nothing going on in the city.
As I understand it, everything is as dead
as a doornail. But General Maceo seems

to be getting in his work, and from what '

I was told by my friends in New Orleans
I suppose that he has been the means of ex-
terminating many of the Spaniards.

“ The press reports contained a story to
the efiect that General Maceo had enticed
Weyler with many of his men into a point
of ground that had been dynamited for
their especial benefit and succeeded in kill-
ing and wounding many of them. I was
told of a second mine that had been fired
when the Spanish soldiers were on it only
a day or two ago. I did not get the exact
date, but at the time his men were entrap-
ped and led on to the ground General Wey-
ler was in the city of Artemisa and knew
nothing of it until the dynamite had done
its deadly work.

“This mine was set between the Rubi
and the Cayajabo mountains by Maceo’s
electrician. After it was all prepared, as in
the other case, the Cubans and Spaniards
engaged in battle. The Cubans, .of course,
retreated, and as they did so the Spaniards
followed, keeping as near them as possible.
When the army was between the two moun-
tains, the mines were touched off, and in
a few minutes the air was filled with
smoke, while dead and wounded men and
horses flcw'in every direction. My friend
stated that there were 5,000 Spanish sol-
diers killed and wounded by the explosion
of the mine. ”

Havana Press Is Mad.

HAVANA, Dec. 5.——The Comercio has the
following editorial on the outlook for Cu-
ban afl‘airs and the attitude of foreign pow—
ers toward the question:

“ ‘Le force prime 1e droit’ (force over-
powers right), Said” Bismarck to Europe,
which was heard with astonishment and
to the scandal of the German empire. Spain
during two years has treated the rebels and
their accomplices like gentlemen. We have
made sincere protests full of dignity to the
United States against their jingoes calum-
niatlng Spain and calling us bloody tigers
in spite of the noble conduct of the army
toward the Cubans. These proceedings
and the language of the press are reflections
upon the Yankees. ”

The Comercio protests against the in-
sulting anti-Spanish attitude of the Amer-
ican press and its favorable attitude toward
the insurgents and says: “Spain has gain-
ed no consideration through diplomacy and
must in future depend upon material force
to command respect for its rights. Time
has shown this and teaches us to sharpen
our halls for a fray. ”

A Ridiculous Assertion.

The paper criticises the inconsistency
and vacillating policy of the New York
newspapers and of the London Times and
says: “Americans are totally incapable of
good faith, and it is time the Spaniards
were convinced that only the army and
navy will avail to settle the question. We
suggest that a restored Spanish fleet and
300,000 men will be able to go anywhere.”
The Comercio notes that Senator Morgan
is already relenting in his previous desire
to gobble Cuba and is now talking conserv-
atively on the question. '

An editorial in La Lucha deals with the
exhortation by the London and the Paris
press to Spain to delivera decisive blow
against the insurgents because the settle—
ment of the Venezuelan question and Eng-
land’s recognition of the Monroe doctrine
make mediation in Cuba from Washing—
ton probable as an indirect result of the
Monroe doctrine. La. Lucha says of this
view:

“The English press has lost its serenity
and good sense and its boasted impartial-
ity. Other questions, such as the limits
of Guiana, have no affinity with the dis-
cussion of the limits of Spain’s possessions
in Cuba. Since its discovery nobody has
disputed Spain’s right of possession. ”

With reference to the argument of the
English press that the elevation of Mr.
McKinley to the presidency will give an
impetus to the Monroe doctrine, La Lucha
expresses the belief that the new president
will not allow his ideals and passions to
supplant his duties as a statesman.

A Tug Seized on the Mississippi.

MEMPHIS, Dec. 5.—-The tug Elsa is in
the hands of the government officials at
Memphis wharf. The captain says he is
bound for some port in South America.
He does not know which one, and the own-
ers of the tug state that they are taking
her to New Orleans. The Elsa arrived
here apparently from Sandusky, O. A
dispatch from Cairo said the tug was

~ bound for Cuba with arms and ammuni-

tion.

 

Gold Contracts Still Valid.
ATLANTA, Dec. 5.—Thc state senate, .by
avote of 21 to 15, rejected a bill intro-
duced by Senator Culver to declare null
and void all obligations and contracts
which may be made payable in any specific

character of money, whether the same be

coin or otherwise, so far as the general as-
sembly is concerned. Therefore gold con-
tracts may still be made in Georgia.

 

Captain Dreyfus’ Case.

PARIS, Dec. 5.—-The committee of peti-
tions has rejected the petition of Mme.
Dreyfus for a new trial of her husband,
Captain Alfred Dreyfgsmi'ho was dismissed
in disgrace from the French army on con-
viction of divulging state secrets, and who
is in exile.

Spanish Methods In the Country Districts.
Their Tr'oops Are Suffering From Ty-

Terrlfy Havana.

KEY WEST, Dec. 4. ——-Insurgents who un-
, Iler Raoul Arango and Valencia on Mon-
day captured the Spanish garrison at Bu-
. caranao raided Cojimar Tuesday evening
I and at 10:30 o’clock at night attacked and
drove in the government outposts at Guano.-
I bacao, dashed into the heart of the city,
[ lootedadrugstcrs and set the town on fire
before finally forced to retire.
Skirmishing in the outskirts continued
throughout the night. Twenty-five houses
in tile principal streets, including a num-
ber of stores, were burned before the fire
was put out.

 

l Great alarm reigns in Havana. It is un-

derstood that Arango had but 600 men and
Valencia 400.

Gomez has started on his march to rein-
vade the great central sugar districts and
relieve Maceo in the west. He crossed the
J ucaro Moron trocha Sunday last, dyna-
miting a. railway train loaded with Span-
lsh troops sent to attack him and blowing

- up two government forts, the garrisons of

which had fired upon his columns.

The insurgent general in'chief is report-
ed to have with him between 5,000 and
7,000 troops, mostly infantry, and also sev-
eral rapid firing field guns.

Telegraphic advices via Cienfuegos today
locate Gomez in the Saguanco mountains,
awaiting the incorporation of the Sancti
Spiritus forces lately led by Serafln San-
chez, whose death is now fully confirmed.

Quintin Banderas, in command of the
Gomez advance columns, has, however, al-
ready crossed Santa Clara province and is
about to enter Matanzas near Hana Bana.

Calixto Garcia remained in the east to
organize new re-enforcements.

Sick Spaniards.

General Suarez Inclan and his staff of 14
ofllcers and 483 privates, all ill of fever,
reached Guanajay yesterday, having come
overland from Bramales in ox carts. Sev-
eral sick expired on route and were inter-
red on the roadside.

Inclan, as well as the majority of his
staff, is reported to be suffering from dyS<
entery, while his trOOps are stricken with
smallpox and typhoid or yellow fever.

Typhus fever has appeared among Wey-
ler’s Pinar del Rio forces at Los Palacios
and various local garrisons along the
Western railway.

Additional medical-assistance has been
urgently requested by wire from Havana,
and six army surgeons and various local
physicians left for the front yesterday.

The preliminary proceedings in the
Competitqr case before Naval Judge Saul
in Cabanas castle were continued on Nov.
24. Captain Labdrde and George Ferrari
were brought out separately and cross
questioned in the presence of Teododro
Maza, who has refused American protec-
tion and now claims Spanish citizenship.
Dr. Bedia was also re-exumined.

Captain General Weyler has ordered the
mayor of Los Palacios, in Pinar del Rio,
to estabIISh zones in his territory to be
given over to cultivation, the ground used
as government camp and the abandoned
farms to be allowed to the cultivator-s free
of charge for two years during the war
and six months afterward. This, it is
expected, will do much to alleviate great
misery.

Lieutenant Luis Lazo recently made an
extensive reconnaissance about La. Maja-
gua Loms Dicente, Cayo Benito and Cayo
Rioco and dispersed the insurgents in that
region. The Asturias battalion made a
similar reconnoissance from Guasimas to
Gabalo. They encountered numerous
bands of insurgents and inflicted upon
them a loss of 30 killed. The encampment
was destroyed as well as many dwellings.
General Ruiz reconnoitered the country
about nine miles between El Chivo and
Sabana. The insurgents had notice of the
coming of the troops and abandoned their
dwellings. The column burned about 300
country dwellings and destroyed a great
many fields.

Sergeant Moroto and Corporal Rodriguez
of the artillery have been decorated with a.
cross and have been pensioned by the
queen regent for saving their company
from destruction by the explosion of an
enormous dynamite bomb which had been
placed in the road.

MIss M’DONALD’S DDATH.

lo Foundation For the Sensational Ru-
“5 mors Which Are Current.

SYDNEY, Dec. 4.—A representative in
this city of the press has investigated the
death of Miss Sadie McDonald, the Ameri-
can actress, and finds there is no founda-
tion for the sensational reports circulated
on the subject in the United States.

There is rip-truth in the statement that
Julian Harris, the manager of the com-
pany with which- Miss McDonald was play-
ing, is holding bac “shocking news” or
any other news of the death of the young
actress.

Miss McDonald died suddenly early on
Sunday morning last of cerebral hemor-
rhage and paralysis of the spine, in all
probability due to overexertion.

Her demise was ' quickened by a severe
fall which she sustained recently while
practicing handsprings at the Princess
theater, Melbourne, for the last production
of “The Milk White Flag,” in which she
appeared.

Her remains were interred here on Mon-
day last, the funeral being attended by
many theatrical and other friends and by
all the members of the company to which
she belonged. .

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-—Sadie McDonald
was born in Brooklyn. She was about 26
years old and first attracted attention at
the Academy of Music some four years
ago, in “The Black Crook,” and has re-
cently been a member of Hoyt’s company.

Her name was at one time intimately
associated in a matrimonial way with that
of Jack McAulifl’e, the pugilist. In Syd-
ney Miss McDonald crested quite a sensa-
tion.

According to a dispatch from Chicago,
dated Wednesday last, the Earl of Shaftes-
bury had become so smitten with the
charms of the American soubrette that he
presented her with diamonds said to be
valued at $50,000, and it was added that
their engagement had been announced at
the clubs of Sydney and throughout theat-
rical circles.

The present Earl of Shaftesbury is about
27 years of age, a lieutenant in the Tenth
hussars, aid—de-camp to Lord Brassey, the
governor of New South Wales, and only
son of the late Earl of Shaftesbury, who
died in 1885, a peer who was noted for his
piety. ,

The East African Massacre.

ZANZIBAR. Dec. 4.—-The massacre of
Signor Cacchi, the Italian consul here, the
captain of the Italian warships Volturno
and Staffettn. and several other Italian
officers by the Somalis at Magadoxo, on
the coast of Somaliland, east Africa, took
place on Saturday, Nov. 26. The party
was accompanied by 70 Askaris and was
on a trip into the country outside of Mag-
adoxo when the Somalis attacked the Ital-
ians, killed all the whites and also killed
about 30 of the Askaris.

Danger It Chippewa Falls.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. 4.—-With
the thermometer still hovering not very
far above zero and the water again climb-
ing the outlook for this threatened valley
is still rather uncomfortable. For 15 miles
between Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire
and for nearly the same distance at Durand
the river is a mass of packed ice and tim-
ber, and the situation is hourly becoming
worse.

 

Tried to Kill a Congressman.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 4. —A Times-Star
special from Lexington, Ky. , says that Wil-
liam Emmel of Belle county made an at-
tempt to kill Congressman D. G. Colson.
Emmel was pursuing an eloping daughter,
and finding her seated by Colson accused
him of aiding the clcpement and made his
attack. He was prevented from doing-
harm. ,

gers were hurt.

Failure of Italian Bankers.

HAS NO DQUAL.

This is Norwalk Testimony and
Therefore Reliable.

When a remedy has no equal it is up
to date and a little in advance of all
other remedies for a specified com-
plaint. Medical theory of old times
hold that a medicine‘ containing a little
of each kind for every ill should make
a remedy for all complaints. We laugh
at such foolishness to-dny and wonder
it was ever thought wisdom. The max-
im to-dsv is learn what the disease is
and apply the remedy which has proven
the most direct and radical. Special-
ties rule the day, and a single organ,
its disorders and how to cure it, is the
highest distinction in the medical pro—
iession. 'l'ho kidneys are wonderfully
constructed. Do you know jhstwhat
their functions are? They are the lab-
oratories of the body for the RENOVA-
TING of the blood BEFORE ITS
USE AGAIN. Read that carefully.
Every pulsation of the heart sends out
the blood to give life to. the body.
When it picks up the poisons in its
course it goes to the kidneys to be
made new for use again. If the kidneys
are weak they cannot do the work,
and uric poison stamps out the life of
the blood. Doan’s Kidney Pills cor-‘
rect all dicorders cf the kidneys and
keep these laboratories true purifiers
of the blood. N orwalk people are fast
learning this. Read the following case;

Mrs. Joseph Whitley, residing at No.
51 Belden avenue, hasn’t had mnew set
of kidneys, she hardly needed that,
still she had to plumb up the old, ones
as theyhad become clogged and as a
consequence she was a sufi‘erer from
backache. Queer expression isn’t it,
plumb the kidneys; but it’s right.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are nature’s plumb-
ers and it was simply the working of ,
these little wonders on the kidneys that
done away the headache for. Mrs. Whit-
ley. She says in brief:——"I got a box '
of Doau’s Kidney Pills at Glendenning
Sr Co.’s drug store and took them for
backache with satisfactory results. I
recommend them to my friends.”

Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers. Price 50 cents. Mailed by
