Goaded to Desperation by Spanish Treat.-
ment, They Tried In \‘ain to Escape.
Key West, May 7. —An uprising on
lhe isle of Pines, a penal settlement
south of Cuba, is reported. Twenty-five
Cuban prisoners, headed by Jose Gon-
zales, made a rush for their guards. and,
after overcoming them, took their arms
and made a. dash 'for the coast. They
were pursued with bloodhounds and a
large force of troops. Five of them got
away in a small boat, landing in the
southwestern part of Havana province,
while others were shot down, having
been caught by the bloodhounds in the
forests bordering the sea shore.
It is said that Spanish officers there
have been so inhuman in their treat-
ment of prisoners that some of the
prisoners prefer to be shot down while
escaping to dying by inches under the
inhuman practices of the jailers. It is
said that delicate women and men un-
used to labor are heavily chained and
forced to work all day in a burning sun,
and at night are placed in a narrow
cell, their food being only one meal a
day, and that of the poorest quality.
Prisoners are not allowed to speak to
one another while working, and there
are a great many‘other harsh rules the
infraction of which brings punishment
in the form of brutal whippings or con-
finement in dark cells.
One of the favorite modes of punish-
ment is to place a. mari underneath a
cistern of water and let a thin stream
of water fall on his naked back. In a
few hours the torture is unbearable,
and the victim shrieks and yells for re-
lease while the Spanish jailers sit
around smoking cigarettes and smiling
at his misery. Many other worse stories
come from there of the treatment of
women prisoners. ,
A sharp engagement took place last
Saturday at Las Cruces, Santa Clara
province, between a large force from
General Gomez's army and over 71,000
Spaniards. Gomez was encamped 'near
there for a time and it was reported to
the Spaniards that he had only a few
hundred men. A Spanish column, un—
der General Merciem, was sent out to
capture him, but, like most expeditions
of this kind, was decoyed into a cun-
ning ambush prepared by the Cubans,
and the Spanish lost heavily after a
severe fight. The Cubans stretched
wires across the roads where ,the cav-
alry had to march and put dynamite

bombs in the path of the advancing
Spaniards. The Spanish cavalry were
thrown into confusion by the barbed
wires, and the explosion of four or five
dynamite mines created consternation
in the Spanish ranks.
The fight lasted all the afternoon,
the Spaniards making several desper-
ate charges, but the Cubans were too
well posted‘to be dislodged. 'lihe Span—
iards retreated at night and camped at
a short distance. In the night the Cu-
bans made a dash through the camp,
killing two of their captains, four or
five lieutenants and a number of pri-
vates. The Spanish force next morn-
ing retreated toward Santa Clara. Their
loss is reported'to have’been consider-
able.
Sharp fights occurred on the outskirts
'of Guanabacoa Sunday afternoon in
three places. Cuban forces were not in
large numbers in any one place, though
they inflicted considerable damage up-
on the resisting forces of Spaniards
and succeeded in burning several build-
ings and destroyed one blockhouse.
A raid was made on the estates of La
Manic, near the outskirts of Havana,
Monday morning, and a Spanish force
of 25 men was cut off and captured.
The Cubans stripped them of their uni-
forms and sent them back to the city
with hardly a vestige of clothing on. ,
‘with a message to the palace officers
saying that they needed the uniforms
more than the Spanish did.

Failures of the \lVeek.
New York, May 8.—R. G. Dun & Co}:
' weekly review of trade says:
Nearly all will be astonished to learn
that actual sales in April by leading
houses in each line of business in the
principal cities east of theRockymoun-
tains average only about 10 per cent
less than in April, 1892, the year of
largest business hitherto, and were 6.1
per cent more than in the same month
last year. Yet this is the summary of
357 reports, each covering actual sales
of leading merchants in a line of busi-
ness in one of 14 cities. They are espe-
cially encouraging in view .of the great
fall of prices within the five years, and
the exceptional floods and other retard-
ing influences this year. While specu-
lative business in nearly all lines is
small and does not swell clearing house
returns as in previous years, the vol-
ume of legitimate trade shows no cor-
responding decrease, and the fact is
one of the highest importance in all
business calculations. Moreover, re-
turns of failures for April by branches
of business show decrease in number,
amount and average of liabilities in al-
most every branch of trade, and in
nearly all branches of manufacture ex-
cept cotton, although failures of five
New Bedford mills for $7,990,734 make
the total defaulted liabilities for the
month 40 per cent larger than last year,
60 per cent larger than in 1895 and 32
per cent larger than in 1894.
Decrease of Apprehension.
Grecian and Washington news have
inflated or depressed speculative mar-
kets, but the main fact, is that there is
less apprehension, and less occasion for
it, than there was a week ago.
duction in some lines so exceeds de—
mand that prices are much depressed,
and in one or two lines there is even
curtailment of output, though in, gen-
eral the gradual expansion continues,
and is still supported by slowly in—
creasing consumption. Crop prospects
are a. little better for cotton because of
the passing of floods and the increase
of acreage elsewhere, and for spring
wheat because the customary accounts
of injury to winter wheat begin to ap-
pear and stimulate larger sowing of
spring wheat as usual. The wheat mar—
ket declined 2 cents until Tuesday,‘and
then rose 2% cents. Liverpool specula—
tions lifted cotton to 7.75 cents, but it
then declined 'an eighth, and the con—
sumption in manufacture does not ap-
pear to be increasing here or abroad.
The demand for cotton goods has not
met expectations, and neither the pro-
longed curtailment of production by
many mills, the large distribution of
goods since November nor the great
auction sale has yet sufficed to reduce
the surplus of goods. Print cloths are
again lower at 2.44 cents, the lowest
point ever reached in previous years,
and though some kinds of goods have
found sufficient demand to advance
prices a little the expectation of better
prices and larger consumption in fu-
ture still seems to push the mills to
exceed present wants. The same is true
of woolen manufacture in many
branches, for orders and sales thus far
do not call. for as large production as
appears, though it is yet much below
the maximum, but the increasing de-
mand has been encouraging. Sales. of
wool, at prices firm but no longer ris-
ing, fall much below recent records. in-
dicating that speculators are growing
less sure of early profits in View of
enormous supplies on hand.
Furnaces Closed.
The anticipation of better prices and
great increase in demand pushed pro-
duction so far in iron and steel manu-
facture that four furnaces in eastern
Pennsylvania and others in the Pitts-
burg region and Ohio have stopped.
Bessemer pig at Pittsburg has declined
to $9.40 and gray forge to $8.40, and
pressure to sell billets lowers them to
$14. Tank steel plates have sold below
1 cent, and common bars at 90 cents
per 100 pounds, with black sheets in
light demand at $1.80 for No. 27, yet the
structural works are well employed on
old orders, with others coming in, one
of 20,000 tons for the Montreal bridge
and others at the east and at Chicago.
The rail works are all busy on orders
taken months ago, though there are
efforts to revive the pool. One contract
for 10,000 tons steel plates is reported,
and some of the tin plate works are
sold ahead for the rest of this year,
foreign supplies being almost wholly
excluded.
In spite of all these things there is a
gradual increase in the volume of
business, and railway and clearing
house returns are more favorable than
for previous months. Returns of money
from the interior continue large, $2,500,-
000 for the week, and gold shipments
have ceased.
The money market is quiet and the
tone in business circles more' hopeful,
with- some increase in demand for com-
mercial loans. Failures for the week
have been 221 in the United States
against 238 last year, and 36 in Canada
against 24 last year.
