Fresh Dairy LEASES EXPIRING. I'utiiro iif Mm Win. l'enn Colliery In tlm ltiilufice. Reports aro In circulation that when the present lease, of the Win. l'ciin colliery expires the pioperty may jiasi Into tho hands of the I. & It. C. & I. Co. From un Inter view hail with un olllclal to-day the IIi:i;ai,i 11 mis that there Is very little possibility of a change taking place a.i reported. The fact Is the 15-ycar lease or tho Wm. l'enn colliery, held by Stltkuey, Cunnlng- ham & Co., of New York, expires on January 1st and thero is a hitch in tho renewal of tho lease. It seems pretty certain that unless the Cllnird' Estate reduces the royalty tho pieseiit operators will not leaso the property iipaln. As to other parties taking hold of tho col lit ry, theolllcial interviewed is of tho opinion tl at if Btickney, Cunningham & Co. do not tiikeanother leaso the colliery will ho aban dulled. Tills opinion is based upon the fact tli.it tho coal trade has been In a very un salisfiu try condition for some time, and it is not likely that tlieio are parties who are wilMitic, uiiilur tlio ciicumstaiices, to Invest the amount of money that will bo required to opoiulo the colliery. The destiny of tho mine, for the present at least, hbiges on the reduction of the royalty, and as the colliery Is one of the largest In this vicinity, employing over 100 tiiiml-i. it is hoped no adjustment of the ni.itttr that will ktep the colliery in operation will he anived at K is alio said that several of tt-o 1' & 11.

CUBANS IN HAVANA EXCITED Tlioy lllttorly llusc-nt (Joncrnl Ilrooko's Urdor I'xi'liictlnir tlio I'liliiin Army From I'nrllclpiilloii In tlm Kvncuu tlon Cvromoiiloi. Havana, Dec. 29. Yesterday after noon a Spaniard named Fernandez, a member of the municipal police, was surrounded by a crowd of Cubans in Bombti street. Cuban and American flags Were waved in Ills face, his rifle was twisted out of his hands and half a hundred men yelled to him to shout "Viva Cuba Libre" or die. Fernandez threw Up his arms as if to assent, and then, when the mob quieted down to hear what he had to say he cried in clear tones, "Viva Espana, Viva Es pana.'1 Three knives were thrust Into him, and he is dying. It Is a favorite sport among the Cu ban youns men to stop In the streets persolis supposed to be pro-Spanish and td make them kiss the Cuban Hag and cry "viva Cuba llbre." Sometimes these Incident have their humorous featutes, but uiilte as often the vic tims are viciously treated. Yesterday a light was started by some Cubans carrying American and Cuban Hags, who declared that they had been In sulted by Spanish marines. A Cuban drew a pistol and, declaring that he would .defend the American Hag, tired. Other shots followed. According to unofficial reports a Spanish soldier was killed, a Spanish marine fatally wound ed and at least one other.'lf not sev eral, huit. Major General Hrooke does not recog nize the Cuban army, and will do ev erything compatible with tact and Judgment to cuuse Its dlsbandment. An auxiliary force of Cubans may be form ed, but the recruits will be taken as in dividuals. Consequently voluntary po lice work on the part of the Cuban commanders in the province of Havana, Santa Clara and I'lnar del Itio will not be encouraged. The offers of assistance which are continually being made by the Cuban chiefs are politely received, but are not accepted, Cuban residents of Havana declare If General Hrooke does not rescind his order barring representatives of tho Cuban Insurgent army from being pres ent at the evacuation day ceremonies on New Year's day they will close their houses on that occasion, tear down their Hags and decorations and remain Indoors. The Cuban peace commission, after a stormy interview with General Brooke, last night, telegraphed General Gomez not to come to Havana, as he Intended, as no courtesy could be shown him. The Cubans are greatly excited. They stood on every corner of the city discussing the situation in a half frenzied manner. "We have not fought for a change of masters. AVe have fought for lib erty, and not for a new ownership," declared Juan Frederlco Centellas, one of the most prominent Cubans In Ha yana. "Our army Is still In the field. They shall not lay down their arms until we find out whether we are to be slaves or free," Two nights ago General Ludlow no- titled the Cuban commission that Gen eral Gomez and other prominent Cu ban army leaders could be present at trie ceremonies, and that the Cuban army might enter Havana. Last night General Brooke told the commission that the Cuban army Is not to be recognized, and is .to have no part In the demonstration of Jan. 1. CharleB W. Gould returned here yes terday after his second visit with the supply ship Comal to Cardenas, Ma tanzas and Sagua La Grande. He re ports that there Is no starvation tq speak of now In these districts. Since his tlrst visit, a mont.h ago, 10,000 per pons have moved upon farms, where they are supported by the ratlonB sup. plied by the Americans, pending a crop, Mr. Gould found the local committees conscientious and wise In the distribu tion of rations, A supply will be sent to the province of Plnar del Bio. Ye iterduy two battalions of the First Texos nnd the Second Louisiana vol unteer regiments, which arrived here Tuesday on the United States trans port Mobile from Savannah, marched through a portion of the Prado to Camp Quemailos. The muscot cats of the Texans were borne In front of the column. The sight of United States troops haB now become so familiar that there was no special demonstration on the part of the populace. Among the matters which the Uni ted States and Spanish military com mlssioners referred to their respective RovernmentB for settlement was the pretended sale by the Spanish officials of a number of obsolete cuns before the two commissions had agreed upon the character of the material which the Spanish were at liberty to dispose of as government movable property. The United States commissioners filed a protest, but President McKInley de cided that the Spanish authorities wore entitled to this obsolete ordnance, and Brigadier General Clous Informed Captain General Castellanos of the de cision yesterday, thus settling the last point In dispute between the two cou missions.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pura I ulmda f ronj pure grp crtun of taruf , FINANCES ADJUSTED I Important Meeting of the Borough Council Last Night. AMPLE RESOURCES IN SIGHT ! The Handicap Under Which the Council Has Labored For Several Months Re moved by Timely Payments From Borough Officials. Tho Borough Council held an adjourned meeting last night to adjust its financial aflairsaml make arrangements to meet hills which had been ou the secretary's tablo fur several weeks, and tho object for which the meeting was held was attained. The members of Council iu attcudauco wero Mossrs. Me Quire, Lally, Murphy, Bell, Bieuiian, liar kins, Baud, Coakley and Magarglo. It was gratifying to tho Cuiincilmen to find that the financial resources had assumed a shape that will enable them to carry out me plan as loresliadoweil at tho last meet ing. In a written report submitted by the finance committee at that time It was shown that to meet current obligations, and esli mrtcd bills duo Jatiuary 1, Council would require $10,182.0,-,. This also included the redemption of $5,000 worth of bonds aud f 1,002.50 for interest ou bonds. As a means for meeting this the committee estimated ou receiving $10,000 from Tax Collector Burke aud f2,000 from Water Superintendent Bell, which would leave a deficiency of $1,182.00. At tho same meeting a temporary loan was recommended 'till December SOtb, witli the additional recommendation that on that date that loan and ono held by ono of the banks be renewed for ninety days, at the exuinitlou of which period tho borough expects to have sufilcient revenue to pay off the loan and to meet current expenses. In making his report last uight Mr. Hand chairman of tho finance committee, said "Tho Tax Iteecivcr will do more than we ex pected, He will pay us at least $11,000, and the Water Superintendent expects to give us $2,000." Mr. Band also made a statemeut urging Council to complete its inspection of U)ilector llurke a exoneration lists, so that a balance may be struck on his accounts. The report ou the Water Superintendent's payment was subsequently modified, reducing tho amount to fl.soo. Of this amount $500 is in orders, but as tho orders the superinten dent redeemed were embraced in tho finance committee's estimate of liabilities, the re turnsaro as good as cash. Council was highly gratified with the de- dovelopuientsand, on motion, of Mr. Lally, it was decided that the proper officers be em powered to renew the temporary loan of $1,000 falling duo on Dec. 3oth, for a period of ninety days; and that they negotiate an additional loan of $1 500 for the samo period. This actiou was taken in pursuance of tho recommendations by the finance committee at tho last meeting, aud the motion was car ried by a unanimous vote. The Councilmcn drow a breath of rclitf, and seemed to have a distinct view of tho silver lining to tho dark financial cloud which threatened them for so many months ou accouut of tho defi ciency ou tho 1895 and 1800 tax duplicates. Bills wero next taken up, aud all that were proporly endorsed by tho respective committees wero ordered paid. They amouuted to nearly $1,500. When the bills for street lights for October aud November wcie read objections wero raised that several of the lights were out re peatedly at nights, but Mr. Coakley and Chief of Police Murphy stated that complaints iu that connection had been attended to, and there was au improvement. Another bill read was one from I. Bobbins amounting to $50. It was for 200 fence posts. jir. i oaKiey mane a vigoiuus kick, because he cuuld not understand what the borouuli could do with giirh a stoik of posts. Mr Hell said many had already beeu used ou Dunu's hill aud others wero being called iuto use almost every day. Ho added that Mr. I.VI,. bins was selling out his stock aud offered tho posts at 2 J cents, each As tho borough was paying -10 cents for the samo kind of posts, the street committee decided to buy tho lot aud save $30. Mr. Coakley was not satisfied with the ex planation, however, and insisted upon his objection. Mr. Bell moved the bill bo paid and the motion was carried, Messrs. McGuire and Coakley n questing that they be recorded as voting iu the negative. Mr. Bell stated that be understood that tho l.iud of tin- tiumuuh at the pumping station had bum assessed at tcvcral thoiiMind dollars by tho Assessor of East Uuiou tuwnship. Mr. Bell did not know the amount, but knew it was exorbitant. Upon his motion tho Borough Solicitor was instructed to protest against tho assessment. Just before Council adjourned President McGuire statod that there is much complaint by tho husluess men of town over discrimin ation shown by the Schuylkill Tmctiou Com pany ngalust this borough and in favor of Ashland. He suggested that the Couuciluieti prepare themselves and be ready at the next regular meeting to take actiou on the matter.
