DESIRE FREEDOM. SENATORS FOUND SENTIMENT GEN ERAL AMONG CUBAN PEOPLE. Senator I'latt No Stnten a to the Ober rations of the Heiuitorial Committee. Mui li IN-pi-nd on the Coining Munici pal Fleet Ion. Washington, Aprd 2. The sub-com mittee of the senate, consisting of Sena tors Piatt, of Connecticut; Aldrich and Teller, which went to Cuba for the pur pose of crsoually investigating condi tions on the island with a view to intel ligent action by congress with respect to Cuba, returned to Washington. Sena tor Plutt, chairman of the sub-committee, authorized a statement concerning the sub-committee's observations, in which he said in part: "We were in Havana in all five days. We also visited the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Matauzas and Santa Clara, be ing unable to go to Santiago and Puerto Principe, as we very much wished. "It may be said of all classes in Cuba that they are looking to the establish ment of an independent government, a Cuban reprblic. A few are iin patient aud wish for immediate independence. Others are less imiafieut, believing that sufficient timo should be takeu to avoid mistakes and to set up the new govern meut upon such a firm basis as to i sure its success aud permanence. are looking forward to the innnicipi elections thot are to take place in the latter part of May, regarding such elec tions as the step toward the establish ment of the new government. Much will depend on the result of these elec tions. If they take place without dis order and good officials are elected, that will go far to prove the capacity of the people for self-government, and steps can be takeu without great delay for further progress iu tluit direction. The problem is complicated by tho fact that self-government is an untried experi ment, by a people who have had little opjortuuity to study its principles or details, its necessities or its responsi bilities. Many of the more conserva tive citizens and business men, unfor tunately, show too much disposition to hold aloof." Tho administration of Governor Gen eral Wood is highly praised by Senator Piatt. He then said in irt: "It is not too much to say that tho people of Cuba, iu respect to the forma tion of a stable and beneficent govern ment, nro very much like children who have to be taught and led. They re gard the Unit. id States as their friend and teacher, and as a wholo are qnito willing to be guided. "There are great possibilities in the island. It is fertile, has great natural resources, and is capable of supporting a population four or five times larger thnn it numbers at present. On tho whole, there has been marvelous recuperation since the declaration of peace, but it needs American capital and American enterprise, which hesitate as yet to go there. English and German capital seeiuo more confident aud is being in vested. Surely our own people ought to have as much confidence ill the fu ture of Cuba as foreigners havo." DINGLEY TARIFF THE WRONG BASIS. Assertion of s 1'orto II Iron Who Say 1'reM-ut Hill In Crime Againut Cnpltal and Labor. San Juan, Porto Rico, April 2. Mr. W. T. Townes, president of tho Porto Ricou Tobncco coinpony, Who already had declared that the proposed tariffs would keep Porto Rico out of the Amer can market, nud thot as tho result of it she would sell to Euroim, China and Japan, instead of the United States, de clared that 13 percent of the Dingley rotes would prohibit Porto Ricon manu factured tobacco Felling in tho United States. The raw leaf would pay an average of S1 cents per ponnd, aud fin ished goods 77'jj cents ier pound. Tins would be discriminating in fuvor of tho United States manufactures to tho ex tent of 725 on each 1,000 Munds. "Skilled labor," he said,' "is higher here than in tho United States, uud the passage of the proposed bill would do an injustice to tho Porto Ricou manufact urer. It would l)o a crime against the labor and capital of Porto Rico. If con gress is sincere in its pur-poso only to raise revenue for the island, it cannot honestly take tho Dingley bill as a Imsis. The differential rate between finished and mw products will protect the United States manufacturer, but slaughter the Porto Ricon DEATH FOR MURDERERS. Chlua Will Kettle for the Hilling of Kev.

REAL PROGRESS WAS MADE. Dun' IteTlew Note Ih-lter Condition of Stork Thnn Year Ago, The Failure. New York, March 31.- R. O. Dun A Co. 's weekly review of tntlo, issued to duy, said in part: Progress toward lictter things has been unmistakable. It was a year ufco that the frenzied speculation in indus trial stocks reached its culmination with prices averaging higher than at any time since, while railroad stock after some decline rose $1.18 per share higher in September, and after the fall in both which ended iu December, have now risen 8.3o per sliare to the highest poiut of this year. Tho advance dur ing the past week has been remarkably vigorous, and with more public support than before. Wheat exports fall far below last year's, amounting in four weeks to 9, 7li(!,8!U bushels against 14,105,886 last year. The price has advanced 2l-4 cents with statements that the crop of France is greatly reduced, though it is rather early to make any such estimate. The exports of corn again prove th magni tude of foreign demand for ccr-jals, as the extrnnrdinary movement of last year is closely approached, 11,794,875 bush els having gone abroad in four weeks, against 13, 102,811 last year. Tho west ern receipts are nearly throe times as large as in the same week hist year, in dicating an abundant supply on hund, but the price has risen 1 cents. Wool has declined fully 1 cent on the average of revised quotations, and more for fleece and fine or fine medium terri tory, which sells at 55 cents clean, with medium clothing at 50 cents. The gtsxls market is quiet and orders are limited, and outside tho favorites prices are ir- regular, with 4 per cent decline in some medium woolens and fine worsteds. Iron is growing weaker, except in BeS' semer pig, which is held at $24.00 at Pittsburg, iu spite of small sales of east eru at lower figures. Anthracite No. 1 has sold little above $J!).00, and basic at $22.50, with eastern forge offered at $20.50 at Pittsburg. Iu finished products no further change appears except in refined kirs, which sell ill largo orders close to 2 cents at Philadelphia, and plates which are sell ing at 2 cents or less at both markets, Better prices aro expected from the consolidation in sheets. But it will not be easy nor in the end profitable to hold prices after supplies so far exceed de mand tluit material can be bought at lower cost. Transactions through clearing houses show a much smaller volume of busi ness than a year ago, the daily average for March being 14.3 per cent smaller than last year, but 84.4 per cent larger than in 1S!8. Failures for the week were 203 in the United States, against lW hist year, and 33 m Canada, against 20 last year. Ditelie Hum New Hon. London, April 2.
