Washington, Sept. 17.—Senor Quesa-
da of the Cuban junta has received an-
address to the Cuban army, issued by
President Masso of the Cuban repub-
~ lic. In part it is as follows:
“The United States of North Amer-
ica, from the moment the cry of Feb-
ruary 24 was given, rose alarmed, cast-
ing. its eyes across the small sea which
separates us towards this bloody and
agitated land. .
”Moved by our convulsions, the Uni-
ted States could not continue to live
the pleasant life which their prosperity
guaranteed them, and which other
countries, indifferent to our misfort—
unes, have continued to live. .
“The United States gave in their cit-
ies hospitality to our people;~ in their
manufactories our rifles were made:
from their shores came numerous ex—
peditions; their press, with immense
and constant clamor, called for justice,
«praising our triumphs, publishing our
sufferings, encouraging us with their
lsympathy and promise of help, while
3 it protested against and condemned the
latrocities of Spain. ‘
“American diplomacy drove the infa-
Imous Weyler out and terminated the
lcriminal policy of concentration; the
United States have continued their
great work of humanity and justice,
sacrificing their own peace, offering
ltheir own treasure and giving their
flown noble blood, constituting them-
lselves the executioners oftheir ver-
ldict by which the empire of Spain is-
3 forever extinguished in the Antilles,
and Cuba becomes sovereign in the en-
, ioyment of her independence.
1 “Every Cuban heart, therefore, in-
'stead of bitterness and sorrow, must
be proud of having done its duty and
grateful to its protector.
“The American people, our ally of
lyesterday, our host of to-day, our
friend always, is contemplating Cuba
and will witness our constitution. Let
Cuba be worthy of herself and she will
be worthy of the friendship of the Uni-
ted States. .
l “The Cuban .army will do its part, it.
having fought under the motto em-
bodying our ideals: Country and lib.-
erty. We have at last a country and
will deserve liberty."
AU RANIA AT QUEENSTOWN.
. rowed lnto Port bythe Steamer Marino.
Crank Shaft Broken
Queenstown, Sept. 17.-¥—The Cunard
line steamer Urania, Captain McKay,
from New York on September 6, for
Liverpoolgwhich was yesterday reporj
fed off the south coast of Ireland, dis-
abled and in tow, arrived here at two
lo’clock in the morning. . .
The captain of the Aurania reports
lthat the crank shaft broke at 9.30 p.
m. on September 13. At 5.15 o’clock .on‘
the following evening, while the step.»
mer was 110 miles west of F-astnet, the-
:British steamer Marino, Captain Web-
'ster ,from Montreal on September 2
for London, sighted the Aurania and
subsequently took her in tow. ‘ '
All on board the Aurania are well.
The sea was calm during the passage,
and no unusual incidents, with the e354
,ccption of the breaking of the shaft,
'are to be recorded. '
The Aurania will waitqhere. for the "
arrival of a tug, which will tow her to .

As the Aurania, in towof the British
steamer Marina, was entering the har-
bor here, the steamer'Glenmore, which

the two steamers and severed the tow
line. The broken hawser became en-
twined in the propeller of the Marino.

THEREYFUS SCANDAL.
The Cabinet to Vote To-day for a Revl-
‘ sion of the Matter.
3 Paris, Sept. 17.—The newspapers here
say that he minister of justice, M. Sar-
rien, has completed the examination of
- the documents in the Dreyfus case, and
will communicate to the ministers at
the cabinet tgmcil to-day his inten-
tion to refer‘ e matter to a commis-
sion» compete .to undertake a. revis-
ion of the proceedings. The general
opinion is that the cabinet will adopt
the proposal for a revision of the case.
The only member likely to vote in the
negative is the minister for war, Gen:
eral Zurlinden, who yesterday\inform—
ed the minister of justice that he in-
tmded to resign if it developed that
he did not agree with the rest of his
colleagues.
Th Figaro, Matin and Rappel say
that t ey believe that, in case General
Zurlinden regigns, M. Brisson, the pre-
mier, is resolved to take the portfolio
of minister of war and give the port-
folio of minister of the interior to M
Vallis. ' . '
According to the Gaulois,‘ the result
of the decision of the minister of jus-
tice will be a ministerial crisis, as, this
paper claims, Other ministers will also
resign. ' ‘

king and the crown prince, both of
whom became seriously ill on Sunday

Mad-rid, Sept. 17.—The steamer Leon
XIII has arrived at Vigo, with General
from Santiago de Cuba.
’-.’-_‘
he ordered the cook of the royal house-'
Toral and 2,478 soldiers and officers»
New York, Sept. 17.'—Business is pas-
sing well through the difficulties that
attend the winding up of a war, which
are generally greater than those in-
volved while the war is in progress.
The rush of orders kept back while the
war lasted, by those who thought it
shrewd not to take any chances, has
lifted prices a little and caused a lar-
ger demand for the time than can con-
tinue, but though it has passed there T
is ample evidence that the consuming
demand is very large. How large can
only be judged after some weeks of
waiting, but once more it looks as if
those who wait longest are likely to
pay most. ’The business of the country
is expanding so that payments through
clearing houses in the second week of
September were 22.5 per cent. larger
than in 1892, and for two weeks 12.0
per cent. larger. From these and rail-
way returns, and such trade reports as
are instructive, it must be concluded
that much more business is ming’done
than in the best of past- years, though
not always with much profit.
Wheat has come forward,much more
freely, and the price has advanced two
cents. It is supposed that the advance
is largely due to milling demand com-
ing upon a narrow supply. Exports are
large, 3,007,976 bushels, flour included,
from Atlantic, and 201,052 bushels from
Pacific ports, and for two weeks 5,-
697,320 bushels from both coasts,
against 10,796,853 last year. Widely dif-
fering accounts of foreign supplies and
demands do not explain the market,
but it may be noticed that a large flour
contract has been closed at Seattle for
Russia, and receipts of wheat for two
weeks of September have been 14,663,-
895 bushels, against 14,697,106. last year.
One .certainty there is, that the foreign
demand will be smaller and the Amer—
ican crops larger than last year.
With the starting of 19 furnaces idle
a month ago, partly not included as
yet, the weekly output September lst
was 213,043 tons, against 206,777 August
1t, and the decrease in stocks 116,929
tons in two months, indicates a con-
sumption but little below a million tons
per month. Structural work is the
heaviest‘ ever known at Pittsburg,
though smaller than last year at New
York. . ,
Important cotton mills have stopped
and print cloths hold 2.06 cents, with
other cotton goods unyielding, but
cheap material hinders operations for
those who. have to sell goods made
from higher priced cotton. Woolen
mills represent rather better orders, al-
though much machinery is idle, those
who have not old '00] bidding much
below the current prices, which are so
far maintained that " sales for two
weeks have been only 6,635,300 pounds,
against 36,629,400 last year, and 17,015,—
100 .in the same weeks of 1892. In boots
and shoes progress of the manufacture
is also stopped by dear material, and
dealers are buying as little as they
can, but prices of leather do not
change, and hides are slightly strong-
or
Stocks are a sliadeghigher, averaging
nineteen cents per share for the week,
though the speculative industrials av-
erage 22 cents per share lower.
The returns of foreign trade show
$35,429,950 excess of exports over im--
ports in August, against $40,920,445 un-
der the extraordinary ”Conditions 3.
year ago, with the biggest egport move—
ment ever known in August. With less
than $4,000,000 paid by specie imports”
less exports, and liberal allowance for
interest and the like, the country has
added more than $23,000,000 to its un-
liquidated demands against Europe,
and $2,600,000 gold has‘been started this
way. Failures in two w s have been
in amount $2,127,452 against $4,352,631
last year, and $7,909,462 in 1896. Manu-
facturing have been $743,105, against
$904,178 last year, and $4,246,148 in 1896.
and trading $1,301,347, against $1,622,956
last year, and $3,180,149 in 1896. Failures
for the week have been 174_in the Uni-
ted States, against 204 last year, and
23 in Canada, against 40 last year.
STORM MADE 5.00 HOMELESS.
Terrible Result of t Hurricane that
Swept the Windward Islands.
London, Sept. 17.-Jame's S. Hay, gov-
ernor of Barbadoes, telegraphs to the
colonial office that the latest accounts
of the effects of the hurricane which
swept the Windward islands last Sat—
urday night and Sunday were even
more terrible than previous reports in-
dicated. Ten thousand huts were eith-
er destroyed or badly damaged and 50,~-
000 persons are homeless.
The lord mayor of London will open
a fund at the Mansion House for the
relief of the sufferers by the hurricane.
Sir Cornelius Moloney, govarhor of
the Windward islands, cables to the co-
lonial office that the British adminis-
trator of the island of St. Vincent has
informed him that the supply of food
there is running short, and asks that
a steamship with supplies be sent at
once.
Accordingly Sir Cor‘nelius will send
to Kingston five hundred barrels of
fish and one hundred barrels of rice by
the next, mail steamship.
On the island of Trinidad the people
are without food or shelter, and orders
have been given to her majesty’s‘ships
in the West Indies to supply them with
provisions, which can be procured from
Jamaica and Halifax sooner than from
any other point.
