In Plymouth church, few days ago, consider the present ccndition of Cuba. Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Ly- man Abbott, Wiliam Willard Howard, Rev. Herbert M. Allen and others. Mr. Howard described the condition of Cuba as he had seen it, and pointed out that the only remedy for the cxist- ing misery lay in giving employment to the poor. He introduced relief among the Armenians in Turkey during his two years' work as a relief commissioner among the Armenians. Resolutions were adopted indorsing a plan for Cuban industrial relief as a practical and effective means of help- ing the Cuban poor by providing for them emplovment stead of indiscriminate gifts and tem- porary relief. \ (Continuing the rezolutions recom- mend: “That an undenominational committee be formed to procure runds with which to carry this plan into ef- fect, and we appeal to ali lovers of hu- manity throughout the United to join with us in giving to this prac- tical charity earnest encouragement and financial support, to the end that America's great service to mankind, hegun by carrying to a victerious con- clusion an unselfish war for humanity, may be finished by a service to poor d helpless which shall, forts prevent the pauperizing and preserve the manhood and self-re- spect of its beneficiaries, be no less s'g- nificant to the cause of than the illustrious achi our army and navy.

NINE NEGROES KILLED. Whites Remove Colored Alderman at Wilming- ton, N. C. and Burn a Newspaper Office — Election Day Murders. There was serious trouble at Wil- mington, N. C., last Thursday. It has been brewing for a long time between the whites and blacks. The former de- tested the latter for the successful part they were taking in the city gov- ernmerc. The trouble in Wilmington com- menced at 8:30 Thursday morning, when an armed body of citizens, num- bering about 400, and led by ex-Repre- sentative Waddell, chairman of a com- mittee the newspaper, proceeded to of a negro to wreck it. editor of the paper ed an article defamatory of women, and a mass-meeting of zens ordered his expulsion from within twenty-four hours and the removal of his press. The editor was informed that if no answer was re- turned the press would be No answer was received and, after waiting ie citizens proceeded in a fixtures house Record, The citi- by an body the and of and gutted. The burning of the printing office created a great commotion among the negroes of the town. The rumor spread that the whites were going to burn and murder in the negro quarters. The negroes were standing on a corner and were ordered to disperse. They de- clined, and, it is claimed, fired into the whites. A fusillade was upon them by the negroes were killed. Two whites were wounded slightly. One negro ran down the street, and passing a resi- fired a rifle at William Mayo, standing on the veranda, shoot- ing him through the left lung. The negro was recognized, pursued and captured while hiding under a bed. He was riddled with shot by his captors and killed. The whites rushed to the scene from every direction, the local company was ordered out and immediately opened whites and three trouble with a rapid-firing gun. About 1 o'clock negroes in a house fired upon a passing party of white The house was surrounded and negroes captured and taken to One negro broke away and ran shot down and killed before had proceeded half a block.

Later it was learned that the editor nad agreed to remove his paper and Lis answer to the committee was en- trusted to the mails. The letter was delivered after the office had been de- stroyed. Up to Monday has been no further clash between the races. The new city government is exerting every effort to reassure the negroes so that they will resume their labors at the cotton compresses and shipping wharves. The mayor has sent negro messengers through the woods adjacent to the city to urge hundreds of their race who are in hiding to return to the city and as- sure them that they can come back to the city with perfect safety. Many of them, men, women and children, are reported in a starving condition. The coroner's jury held an inquest over one of the negroes killed in the riot. The verdict was that the negro came to his death at the hands of par- tiers unknown to the jury. This verdict will apply to all those killed. Five negroes lay dead at Rehobeth, 8S. ¢,, all ‘day. Wednesday along the another was killed Thursday. and likely four others are dead and lost in the woods. One white man was buried. three others lie at the point death, and more have been Four heads of families have left the country, and armed troops of country- men are scouring the country hunting otiter victims. All of this is the out- come of an election row. The trouble was precipitated on elec- tron day, when 200 or 300 negroes at the polls opened a fusillade against the store in which the voting was going on. In this fight one white man was kiiled and another wounded.

MILES' REPORT. It Contains No Unjust Criticism of the War Department. The report of Maj.-Gen. Miles, com- manding the United States army, was made public last week by direction of Secretary Alger. The Keynote of the report is found in one of the opening sentences, where it is said: “The military operations during the year have been extraordinary, unusual and extensive,” a statement which is fully borne out by the long recitai of important events which Gen. Miles shows have made the military history of the year 1898 the most remarkable since the end of the civil war. In point of interest the document di- vides naturally into four chapters, for, while brief allusion is made to such matters as the military expeditions to Alaska, interest naturally centers in that portion which treats of the war with Spain. Under this general head the report deals with plans of campaign and war preparations; with the Santiago cam- paign; with Gen. Miles’ operations in Forto Rico, and lastly with the im- changes in existing organiza- which are, in Gen. Miles’ opinion, make the army an effec- for the defense of the tion tive weapon country, "There is an entire evidence of direct cortain sentences italicized, in an justify previously details of the absence criticism, in the apparent expressed ‘ campaigns, and, where it deals with events, the document. is largely made up of a quotation of of- ficial dispatches. of any though report are desire to plans of PATIENT WAS IN DANGER.

It was a refutation of the Spanish allegation the yd that because words ‘‘possession, “ownership” do not occur in the col clause touching upon the Ph ine islands, the peace commission have no right to discuss them here, and that even if they did so, it must be in the light of the alleged fact of an exteri agreement that Spain's sovereignty should not be impaired. jt also. ad- versely answered Spain's claim for the restitution to her of public money and customs collections taken by ited States officials since the capitulation of Manila, and made reply to Spain's claim for an indemnity on account of the alleged imprisonment of Spanish troops of Manila and for their subse- quent raint from being of service to Spain in the suppression of the in- surrection and the \ £ or ‘‘cession’”’ proto- pp resi preservation of held the US- can commissioners that there was justification, under terms of the protocol for the sion of the future of the Philippine lands, and they also claimed that the ccecupation of Manila is a military one which justifies the United States in collecting revenues, administering the government and exercising all the functions of possession.

Foreign trade shows an increase of 2 per cent. in Qctober .in exports; with 38 per cent. in exports from New York last week, while imports showed a gain of only 22 per cent. in October, and credits against foreign bankers were piling up at an inconvenient rate. There is absolutely no anxiety about the currency, and the treasury is only too strong. When enormous exports of products are considered, it seems quite impossible for the coun- try to meet with serious monetary trouble, especially in view of past surplus in favor of this couniry. Wheat declined nearly a cent, but recovered all the loss, with Atlantic exports, flour ncluded, of 3,335,509 bushels, against 3.274.480 last -vear, and Pacific xports 1,016,951 bushels, against 1: last yet Western receipts 9 5 bushe the week, against 7 14 last y , continue to render the holding back of stocks manifestly a failure. Corn = has: but slightly chan d in price with ex- ports § bushels, against 2,- and an increase of half in western receipts. Cotton remains at the lowest prices on record, with heavy receipts and with- out large milling demand. Iron production November 1 228.935 tons - weekly, against October 1, and a decrease is 35,241 tons in stocks unsold the holdings of the great steel panies, indicating an actual consump- tion of 1.019646 tons in October, about 253 tons daily greater than the largest ever shown in any previous nionth on record. The export demand is beyond all dreams, 40,000 tons: rails for northern ° Europe and 100.000 tons plates, besides 4,500 tons billets from Pittsburg alone, witl: great quantities of bars, rods, wire and other finished product. ‘The works are generally filled with orders, including many from ocean and lake shipyards, and many for cars, with seasonable de- mand for other products. The minor metals still advance, largely with the I.ondon demand, tin to 18.30 cents and copper to 12.62 cents bid for lake, with lead steady at 3.72% cents in spite of heavy Mexican arrivals. Wool sales for the past week were only 4,735,000 pounds at the three chief eastern markets, and were secured by concessions at all markets, as last week, making 18,234,900 pounds, against 16,652,902 for the same twa weeks last year and 12,259,600 pounds for the same weeks in 1892. Many holders are refusing to abate their prices, though large manufac- turers bid below current market prices, because of their uncertainty in regard to the demand for woolen goods, which has somewhat improved, and yet not greatly. It is growing in the minds of holders of wool at the East that the supply of foreign and domestic wool on hand is much greater than has heretofore been supposed. Cotton goods are, on thé whole, in better demand, although slightly lower, and little can be said of encouraging character as to the de- mand for staple goods of domestic use. more than a seen of outside com- +
