"Ultlcial Information from our consult in
Cuba establishes the fa't that targe num
ler of American citizens In the island are in
a stnte of destitution, suffering forwent of

larly to the rural districts of the central aud
eastern parts. The agricultural classes have
beeu forced from their farms into the near
est towns, where they are without work or
money.
"The local authorities of the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are unable
to relieve the needs ol their own people, and
are altogether powerless to help our clti
rens. "The latest report of Consul General Leo
estimates Unit (iO to MOO Americans are

An enthusiastic audience of incu and wo
men, many of them woll known in Washing

PRICES ADVANCED.
Speealator Many Predict Oct letttr
Figarea,
R. Q. Dud A Co. 'a weekly review of trade
says:
Speculators have enjoyed an advance In
wbtat, corn, cotton and some other pro
ducts, though obliged to tell wool and sugar
at lower figures In order to realize. Stocks
have advanced 7o per ( 100 and trust stocks
lost S3 cents, without cuough demand to
constitute a market. Import ot merchan
dise, 18.382,019 for the week at New York
alone, are Ui per cent, larger than a year
ago, making the Increase 47 per cent, for the
past six weeks, and have affected the ex
change markets aud helped further ship
ments uf gold, whioh amount for the work
to (2.730,000, hut are practically balanced by
receipts from the interior and cause no seri
ous apprehension ot Unsocial disturbance.
Men feel that present conditions are only
temporary, although they tend to prevent
immediate Improvement in general trade
and hinder immediate investments.
The government crop report estimates
cotton acreage at 6 per cent lest than last
year, and is considered encouraging because
so slight a decrease from the floods may be
easily made up. Prices have advanced ,',o
on Liverpool speculation, with nothing here
to warrant the rise. The winter wheat re
port, which is supposed to indicate a yield of
27.000,000 bushels, is contrasted with state
reports much better or much worse, but it
distrusted mainly because all department
estimates of acreage for years have been
wildly erroneous. Wee'.ern recelptt con
tinue' larger than latyear, 2,109,123 bushels,
against 1.870,3(17 bushels a year ago, and At
lantic exports also increase for two weeks of
May, amounting to 3,106,1109 bushels, Cour
Included, against 2,083,414 bushels last year.
F.xporte of corn aru still large, 6,ffl5,H6i
bushels for two weeks, against 3,804.181
bushels last year, and Id part account for
smaller demand for wheat.
The output ot pig iron for the week end
ing May 1 was 170.628 tons, against 173,279
April 1, and the stocks unsold, exclusive of
those held by the great steel-making com
panies. Increased only 8,808,000 tons. Sev
eral furnaces, especially those producing
foundry Iron, have stopped production (or
this month, but no Important chaugvs appear
in pig iron, which is quoted at (8.2ft for gray
forge at 1'tttshurg and (9.25 for bessemer,
and (12 for No, 1 at New York, though only
(10.23 Is asked for southern. Keduoed south
ern freights here have not altered the mar
ket materially, and nt Chicago also the local
prices have beeu reduced.
The demand for Mulshed products it below
tho capacity of works in operation, aud the
award of the contract for the Montreal
bridge, which is said to be at 00 cents for
bourns, against (1.C5 demanded from con
sumers In this country, has occasioned
trouble in tho beam association, and there
lire reports that It has been dissolved. Angles
nre quoted nt t'5 cents per 100 pounds, u
shudu lower and steel plates ure quoted
lower bent than at l'hiladeiphla. Copper is
nctivo, with large sales of lake at 10.35 cents,
und tiu plates Are quoted 10 cents below
prices llxed by the association, and 60 cents
I'elow prices of the same grades of foreign
plates.
Nothing new can be said of the cotton
manufacture, which still lacks demand
enough to lift print cloths above the lowest
point ever known, and prices of other
graies of cotton do not Improve. In general
the sales of cotton product nre but mode
rate. Woolen goods are doing better than
for weeks past, aud yet there is not enough
demand t.' er'onte enthusiasm or to raise
prices, while there is greut uncertainty re
garding tho future of the market Sales ot
wool have sharply decreased, aud for the
weok barely exceed a week's consumption,
while prices are weaker at eastern markets,
according to some reports nearly 1 cent per
pound at Philadelphia, und at the West
trailers for speculation have begun to sell
for tome concessions with good reasons,
NO MORE BEBT 8U0AB SEED.
The Agricultural Department Eat Ex-
hauited tbt Supply.
Tho beet sugar seed which the agricultural
department has been distributing Is practi
cally exhausted, about 10,000 pounds having
been sent out to farmers la about four-flftlis
of tbo states. Tho seed baa been dis
tilbuted in packages of from one ounce to
half a pound purely for experimental pur
poses. Thc-beets grown from the seed will
be analyzed and the saccharine matter de
termined to ascertain where beets can be
profitably grown for the production of su
gar. These experiments, It is believed, will
be of immense value a the beet undoubtedly
can be produced with profit In ninny of the
stiites. Wherever it can be so produced It
will give the farmer it new crop. All tho
surplus vegetable seed in the possession of
the agricultural department is being dis
tributed through congressmen or govern
ment agency, to th" people in the Hooded
districts along the Mississippi for planting as
soon as tbo waters subside.
AFRICAN ATROCITIES CONTINUE.
No Effort to Stop tho Awful Barbarity on
the Upper Kongo.
A representative of the Associated I'ress
bad an Interview with I lev. Mr. Sjobloni, of
the American Buptlst Mission In the Upper
Kongo, who has just returned to London.
He said:
"When I left In February, matters In the
Upper Kongo were as bad us ever. The
commission which the King of the lielginns
appointed to Inquire into the atrocities com
mitted, the victim' being natives, has had al
most no result. The olllcials are indisposed
to act on missionary evidence, and only n
few cases of barbarity were punished. The
iniquitous rubber trafllo continues. When
the natives are unuble to obtain rubber the
Mate troops burn the villages, murder the
natives and rut off their bunds, which nre
utierwards smoked and Font to the state offi
cials, l'arts of tbo EquiitorsviiU) district aru
iu a state of open warfare."
It is understood that tl.e statements of the
Ilev. Mr. Sjot'lotn will be made the subject uf
a question iu the lloue of Commons.
THE TOPE AND THE SULTAN.
Ctmt oT the Disagreement Between tbt
Two Mon.
The Home correspondent of the London
Standard gives the history of the discontin
uance of relations between the porta and the
Vatican. He says:
"Last summer the pope In an autograph
letter begged the sultan to protect theChrit
tiuus iu Crete. The papal delegate. Mgr.
lionettl, obtained ao audience at the Yildhs
kb-ek and formally presented the letter.
"The sultan, evidently Irritated, said, in
an undertone in Turkish: 'Who's this pope
that's always meddling Id the affairs of our
state'' and then aloud Id French: 'Tell
his holiness that It is my constant care to
attend to the welfare of all my subjects.'
"The pope tried another letter fast Octo
ber. This had a better reception, but was
never answered and there has been no direct
communications between the Vatican and the
porta since."

THE IIIN TURNS ICIIIO!
NAMES HIS TERMS.
Tbt Torts Makes A Official Eeply t tbt
Fewer.
The ports bas replied officially to tbe note
ot tbe powers and declines to agree to an ar
mistice until tbe following conditiont are
accepted:
The annexation ot Thessalv, an Indemnity
ot XlO.OOO.ooo Turkish and tbe abolition pf
the capitulations. Tbe porte proposes that
plenipotentiaries ot the powers should meet
at Pbsrealo to discuss tbe terms of peace
and declares that It these conditions aie de
clined the Turkish army will continue to ad
vance. The demand for the annexation of Theesa
ly is based upon the tact that the province
wtt originally ceded to Greece on the advice
ot the powers with tbe object ot ending bri
gandage and Oreek incursions into Ottoman
territory, the porte believing" at the time that
the cessation would attain these objects, but
tbe recent incursions ot Oreek bands and the
events immediately preceding the war have
proved to the contrary. This it the sub
stance of the reply.
The Ambassadors) met to consider the
Forte's answer, which la regarded at raising
an extremely grave issue. It it believed that
representations will be made to tbe tuitan
personally to induce a modification ol these
terms, but It Is foreseen that this will be very
difficult, owing to tbe attitude ot the power
ful old Turk war party.
It tbe porte should prove obdurate a
European conference is not improbable,
although at present Ilussia Is opposed to
this. It Is regarded at quite certain that the
powers will not consent to a retrocession ot
Thessaly. Even Oermnny ia bolloved to be
resolute on this point because it would in
volve a violation of the Her I In treaty and Im
peril tbe pease of the Balkans. Altogether
the reply of tbe porte has caused the greatest
surprise. It appears that during tbe discus
sion ot tbe note from the powers by tbe
couucil of the sultan's ministers, news reach
ed the council that 3,000 Greeks had landed
at I'alona and were marching to Janina with
the Intention ol co-operating with other
forces from Arta. This created a bad impres
sion among tbe ministers.
GARCIA WAS TOO SHREWD.
Ht Turned tb Tablet and Cut the Spaniards
Almost to Fleoet.
A letter from a Spanish officer at Maur.an
illo to a friend in Havana tells of a tremend
ous defeat suffered by tbo Spaniards near
there.
It appears that Ocncral I.ono, command
ing tho Nnnzauillo division, knowing that
tho insurgents attack all convoys going to
Baynino on "dead tnriu't road," as It bos
been nnmod. prepared a scheme to entrap
the Insurgents. He ordered tho departure
of a great convoy under a small escort, and
with a force of 1,600 men took a roundabout
course, with the intention of falling upon the
insurgents' renr as soon as the usual altuck
was made on the convoy.
Whether Garcia, noting the palpable in
sufficiency ol the escort, suspected a trap, or
had been previously informed, is not known,
but at any rate be thwarted the Spanish. He
detailed a pait ot his force to capture the
convoy and with the remainder, about COO
picked and well-armed men, awaited Lono's
arrival in a strong position.
Lono, surprised by the unexpected attack,
fell back, despite tbe superiority of hit num
bers, ana tried to gain the convoy's road, but
(tarda, by a clover Hank movement, prevent
ed him from even retreating to Mauznnillo.
The result was that Lono, after six days of
desperate fighting and retreating, arrived
with only a remnant of his force at Hpuuta
l'ortilio, east of Cape Cruz,wbero he escaped
being thrown into the sea by tbe arrival ol
the steamer Helta de Los Angeles, that bad
been sent frcm Manzauillo to his assistance.
The Spanish loss is net atated, but it must
have lieeo considerable, since the affair is
considered the most momentous of the war.
SUNDAY BALL BTOFFED.

Tho police made good their promise to

and taken to the Central police station, four
miles distant, where 1'resident Itoblnou gave
bail for the prisoners and they were releas

tendance. All the railroads ran excursions,
and many enthusiasts from surrounding
towns lu thecity during the forenoon. Soon
after noon the cars running to the ball park
begun to be crowded. Long before the hour
' for the game to begin the grounds were
crowded. 1 be turnstile showed that 10,000
people had passed the gates. It was Imput
able to admit any more without letting ttiem
I on the field, find the gates were closed. Still
at least 6, 100 persons clamored for aduiis
