Basker, United States consul at Sagua la Grande, Cuba, upon the subject of the financial embarrassments of sugar planters. He says that they are, at the very beginning of the grinding season, in” a most deplorable condition, and that bank- ruptcy appears inevitable to nine-tenths of them. The very low price of sugar centrif- ugals, now at 1 2-8 cents per pound, Span- ish gold, with indications of a further de- cline in prices, renders the situation so dis- couraging that some mills have ceased to grind and planters are suspending. Their only hope is that Cu sugar may be fa- vored by the United States in compensa- tion for the concessions made by Spain to che Dalton States in the matter of exports to Sugar Crisis Grave. United States Consul Williams has also made a report on the same subject, and he incloses a copy of a cablegram sent by the ; Mantanzas deputation to the cortes, as follows: ““Mantanzas deputation esteems su- gar crisis most grave. Believes it impossi- ble to finish crop: The suspension of all taxes on Cuban sugar, with its free admis- sion into peninsular (Spanish) markets for one year, is, therefore, urgently necessary. I pray action.” Filibusters at Key West. Minister Muruaga of Spain has received @ dispatch from Key West, Florida, an- nouncing that a party of filibusters had organized there, and was about to -start for Cuba to stir up a revolution in the island. The minister’s dispatch said that the United States revenue cutter which is usually on duty at Key West was ab- sent from its post, and that there was not force on hand to prevent the threatened invasion. The dispatch gave no particulars as to the strength of the party or the vessel or vessels it had secured to carry it to Cuba. The exact time of its starting was ap- parently unknown, but it was expected to start soon. No Organized Revolution. Discussing the matter, Senor Muruaga said: “The report that there is a concerted organized revolution in Cuba is untrue. There have been only two or three unim- portant outbreaks. The insurrectionists have no leaders and no organization, and can do nothing. As a matter of course; their friends in this country and elsewhere give out misleading reports in the hope of strengthening their cause. I very much regret the absence of the United States revenue cutter which ought to be at Key West, and could easily prevent an invasion of Cuba from American soil. The distance from Key West to Cuba is very short and easily traversed.” ———___+> e+ —_____ Social Drinking. Yesterday was a “red letter day” for the Capitol Hill Unicn of the W. C. T. U. A good audience gathered in Waugh Chapel to listen to Mrs. Josephine R. Nichols of Indianapolis, Ind., who is a delegate to the council. Mrs. Nichols, who is president of the W. C. T. U. of Indiana, represented the world’s W. C. T. U. at the last Paris expo- sition, and was engaged in the same work at Chicago in 1893. She told her audience something of the work done at the Paris exposition. The European idea of temper- ance is to drink in moderation, and the W. C. T. U. idea of total abstinence was a new one on the continent. She denounced with much emphasis what she called the “par- lor saloons” of society, especially as found in Washingtcn. It is not the public saloon we are to fear for its influence on our sons nearly so much as the punch bowl of our receptions and the wine glass on our din- ner tables. She also spoke of the great good done by the W: C. T. U. tabernacles at county fairs, and urged the Christian recently introducd by women of Washington to look into the horse racing at the so-called “fairs” in the vicinity of the city, where the state laws are undoubtedly violated. Prof. George Little made a few remarks at the close of the meeting, speaking espe- cially of the training of children in temper- ance principles. Never, probably, in the history of medicine has there been a Which has aroused the interest of the profession and general public alike equal to that created by THE Animal Extract. mimMa XUracts, Dr. Wm.

Rev. Wayland Johnson SAYS OF CEREBRINE: ° “I have been using Cerebrine two weeks, with the most excellent results. I was in a state of nervous prostration that utterly unfitted me for any continued mental work. From the first dose I experienced 2 renewed intelicctual grasp and power and clearness and joy in mental work that Pind not known for years. Under the influence of an or- dinary stimulant I felt a highly exalted state of body and mind, but the activity was feverish and ecceatric, while the effect of the Cerebrine is to give a sense of cool, satisfied, self-controlied men- tal and physical energy.” Sincerely yours, WAYLAND JOHNSON, Pastor First Baptist h. ‘The physiological effects produced by a single dose of CEREBRINE are acceleration oF the pulse with a feeling of fullness and distention in the bead, exhilarativn of spirits, increased uri excretion, augumentation of the expulsive force of the bladder and peristaltic action of the intestines, increase tn muscular strength lurarce, in- creased power of vision in elderly people, and in- creased appetite and digestive power.

Willie Simms, the colored jockey, will ride for Mr. Croker in England. He sail- ed yesterday on the steamship Majestic. He has not been enthusiastic about the Prospect of venturing on British tracks, and It is reported that a week ago he tried to get Mr. Croker to cancel his contract. Persuasion in the shape of a good-sized check finally overcame his scruples. English turfmen will watch with inter- est Simms’ style of riding, which is es- sentially different from that in vogue there. A negro jockey, too, is a rarity on the British turf. This latter fact, it is said, is largely responsible for Si luctance to ride there. NO BOXING IN PITTSBURG. ‘The Amateur Athictic Uniom Bouts Wilt Be Held in ANegheny. Amateur athletic boxing and wrestling tournaments at Pittsburg received a knock- out blow yesterday by an order from the Police department. prohibiting all athletic contests. : A year ago the authorities decided to allow tournaments to be held only by clubs owning thetr own houses or halls. This was done to’stop fake contests in public places. At the West End tourney Satur- day night the police were compelled to stop several bouts. This caused the latest order. The A. A. U. championship contests will be held at Cyclorama Hall in Alle- gheny. og A Race Track for Jacksonville. H. D. McIntyre, secretary of the Brook- lyn Jockey Club, met a number of citi- zens in the board of trade room at Jack- sonville, Fla., yesterday, to discuss open- ing a race track. A committee of nine w: appointed to ask the legislature to amend the present laws so that pool selling will be permitted from August 1 to May 1. ‘The Ride re- Basket Ball at the Armory. The basket ball teams of Carroll Insti- tute and the Washington Light Infantry met last evening in the armory, and the game resulted in a tie, each team securing three goals. Considerable complaint is made of roughness. There is certainly no surer way of killing popular interest in the game than by substituting brute force for scientific playing. The people prefer brain to beef. The next game will be play- ed at the Columbia Athletic Club gymna- sium between teams of the Washington Light Infantry Corps and Washington Ath- letic Club. No game will be played this evening. Winners at Arlington. The usual crowd of regulars visited the Arlington track yesterday. Only one fa- vorite passed the wire first. The winners were King Bird, Elizabeth, Fassett, Billy Boy, Jim R. The Arlington Race Meeting. At a late hour last night the manage- ment of the Arlington, Md., races decided to continue the meeting until March 12. During the early part of the evening the executive committee got together and de- cided to close the meeting with today’s pro- gram, but an hour later that decision was rescinded. The Old Dominion track at Al- exander Island will begin a race meeting tomorrow. National Amateur Regatta Dates. The regatta committee of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen has de- clded to hold its next regattgz on Wednes- day and Thursday, July 17 and 18, on Sara- toga lake, Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Any in- formation pertaining to the regatta can be obtained by addressing the secretary, F. R. Fortmeyer, box 740, New York city. Flyers for St. Asaph’s. F.

Detective Samuel Farmer and party had a fight with the Benjamin Hughes gang of train robbers in Checotah, I. T., yester- day. Hughes was captured, one of his men wounded and Snake Head, an Indian scout of Farmer’s party, killed. Hughes and his gang are charged with robbing the Pacific express car at Thurber junction last Oc- tober. Charles T. McCoy was arrested in South Dakota yesterday for complicity in the de- falcation of State Treasurer W. W. Taylor. Conspiracy is also charged against John S. McChesney of New York, Daniel K. Ten- ney and Charles H. Wells of Chicago, and civil suits will be begun against them. Mrs. Robert Craig of St. Joseph, Mo., heard a noise in the house Tuesday night and aroused her husband. He fired his pis- tol at a figure in the hallway, and danger- ously wounded Mrs. Craig’s sister, who had been awakened by the noise. Ex-Judge Lincoln Flagg Brigham of Sa- lem, Mass., died yesterday, aged eighty- four years. A rush of guests from Hot Springs, Ark., is in progress in consequence of reports of smallpox at the famous health resort. The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Rev. Dr. M. D, Hoge’s pastorate of the Second Presbyterian Church, Richmond, has been concluded. Ex-Congressman William Ward died at Gres ter Pa., aged fifty-eight years, yester- jay. The Tennessee legislative committee on the governor’s election yesterday refused to hear witnesses to prove that all voters had paid poll tax prior to the November election. This leaves uncontroverted Gov. Turney’s evidence that receipts were not presented at the polls in seven districts, Walker G. Hamner, the defaulting teller of the First National Bank at Lynchburg, Va., yesterday had a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Tinsley. Hamner was sent on to the grand jury and went to jail, his counsel saying that they did not desire to make application for bail. R. H. Pannill, city ticket agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, was also sent to jail in default of $10,000 bait. State Senator Horace Atherton of Lynn, Mass., was probably fatally injured yester- day by being thrown from his carriage. Avery Butler, a Mfe convict, and two thirty-year convicts have escaped from the North Carolina penitentiary at Raleigh.

Western Presbyterian Church, who de- livered a sermon of originality and force- ful eloquence. The Rev. S. R. Queen of Otisville, N. ¥., read the Scripture lesson and made the opening prayer. The at- tendance from other charges was large. Mrs. Bennett presided at the organ, and the congregation joined in the singing with earnestness. Dr. Alexander made an eloquent appeal to the unconverted. The Rev. Mr. Queen will conduct the service this evening and deliver the sermon, Prespect Avenue. West Enders are anxious that the origi- nal Prospect avenue extension plan be looked into by Landscape Architect Olm- stead. The plan which met with the gen- eral approbation of the people here, and was submitted to the Commissioners and approved of by them, but never financially backed, provides for the improvement of N street to’ 37th where a graceful curve is made around the southern end of the Georgetown College property, running into Prospect avenue between 37th and s8th streets; thence on a curve up to N and 39ta streets, and thence out N to its intersec- tion with the Conduit road. This extension would make one of the most beautiful drives in the District, as from its elevated Fosition a magnificent view of the Poto- ™mac may be enjoyed for half a mile. Notes, President James W. Pog of the emancipa- tion committee has appointed Wm. Hunter superintendent of the West End diviston. ‘The appointee will-make all necessary ar- rangements for the perade of April 16. The revival at Rev. Dr. Seaton’s church, the Ebenezer, last night resulted in bring- ing twelve to a confession of the faith and many mourners to the bench. Houre 1432 36th street was yesterday sold to Mr. Upton B.

At the monthly meeting of the Capital City Club of Amateur Journalists, held at the residence of the Misses Small, there was a large attendance, and several new members were added to the list, which was very encouraging. Several changes were made in the constitution, among them be- ing one that hereafter the club will meet twice a month, and another that the offi- cers will be elected quarterly, instead of ‘semi-annually. Mr. Creed Fulton and Mr. Edwin Smith made some well-chosen re- marks in favor of these changes, It was with much regret that the club Was obliged to accept the resignations of Mr. Tracy and Miss Bessie Tyler, for by this the club loses two of its very active members. The constitution having been changed a new of officers was elected, as fol- lews: President, Mr. Edwin Smith; vice President, Miss Florence Chambers; secre- tary, Miss Sarah Willard Howe; treasurer, Mr. John Hall; librarian, Miss Madge Small, and editor, Mr. Milton Tibbitts. Mr. Smith is well known in amateur journalism, and the club feels confident that he will be an afficient presiding officer. Miss Sarah Willard Howe has gained a reputation in amateur writings not only in Washington, but also in the north and west. Mr. Milton Tibbitts is the editor of the “Weekly Bul- letin,” @ penny paper of this city, which Pept! great credit upon so young a pub- isher. The program for the evening was as fol- lows: Song by Mr. L. D.

The notice of discontinuance filed in court states that the complainant has been advised since the filing of her bill that she has not sufficient evidence to sustain the charges made therein. being reported to the French government, was made a subject of negotiation, and wound up with a formal demand for resti- tution. This was refused, and tne French government, after using eable means of securing indemnity, indicated a purpose of sending some war vessels to Santo Domingo to enforce a collection. It was the purpose of the French to seize upon a sufficient amount of the revenues of the republic to reimburse the claim. An American Company Interposes. At this point an obstacle was interposed by an American company. The Dominican government being in financial straits in 1888 made an arrangement with the firm of ‘Westendorp & Co., bankers of Amsterdam, for a loan ef £770,000 to take up the in- ternal and foreign debt of the republic. To insure payment the Amsterdam com- pany was given the right to collect directly the receipts from all of the Dominican custom houses, and the loan was made a first lien upon all of the customs receipts and a mortgage on all of the revenues of the country. In 1890 this loan was con- siderably extended for the purpose of building a railroad. In 1892 Westendorp & Co. transferred all of their rights to an American company, chartered in New Jersey, under the name of “The San Do- mingo’ Improvement Company of New York,” the leading spot of which was Smith Weed. It is tl company which has now come to the front in opposition to the execution of the French program of a forcible collection of the indemnity claimed by it. A Serious Injury. It has represented to the State Depart- ment that if the French ships undertake to interfere with the collection of the Do- minican revenues they will trench directly upon the rights of the American company, and that even any attempt to close the ports or to obstruct business in any way. that would curtail receipts would an injury to the company and operate to pre- vent the fulfillment of its obligations to its stockholders. The case is further compli- cated by the fact that the bonds of the Dominican government are largely held in Holland, Belgium,'’England, as well as in the United States and France, and natural- ly these people feel an interest in prevent- ing any action by France that might de- stroy the resources of the company, to which they must look for the security of their bonds. © No Direct Action by the Gavernment. | |The Dominican:government has taken no direct action in thé matter, and has left it to the company to‘appeal to the State De- partment for protection, although the Do- minican charge, Mr. Gil, has accompanied Mr. Smith Wecd, the company’s represent- ative, to Washington from New York, and has heard the statements he has made to Secretary Gresham. The Secretary has been impressed with the justice of Mr. Weed’s claims, and about two weeks ago he cabled to Mr. Eustis, our ambasgador to France, and instructed him to inform the French governmént that the United States could not look with indifference upon its proposed action. He was to represent that an American company had large interests in Santo Domingo, and to express the hope of the United States government that the French government would not be unmind- ful of the interests of that company in whatever course it pursued. This is the style of gentle diplomatic warning that usually precedes more ur- gent representations in case of necessity, and it remains to be seen whether it will be sufficient. Prebably it will not be, for it strikes at the right that has been freely assumed by European nations to collect indemnities and even to require the pay- ment of foreign debts by force if necessary. Importance of the Incident. The incident acquires additional import- ance from the fact that several of the small republics of Central and South Amer- ica have recently defaulted in the payment of interest upon the foreign debts, mostly held in Europe, and if the United States is committed to the assertion of a right to protect them against their creditors in cases like that of Santo Domingo, it may be that they will follow the example of that country and farm out their revenues to American corporations in order to secure immunity. The French Government's Action. The French government has so far ac- ceded to Secretary Gresham’s representa- tions in the matter of attempting forcibly to collect indemnity from San Domingo as to abate for the time its insistence manufacturers of food products, but which would compel every article of food to stand on its own merits, and prevent wholesome dairy products from’ being brought into un- fair competition with adulterated articles and imitations, which were not only ruin- ous to the , but were a fraud upon the purchasing public. The Department of Agriculture, he said, was trying to collect trustworthy statistics of the dairy industry of the country, which would show its enormous tmportance, and was at the same time trying to complete a series of publications on the latest and best results in stock raising and breeding, that would be of practical service to the dairy- Matter Mr. Debney’s address a ey’S the meet adjourned, to meet next February at the call of the executive committee. duced, pleasing to the taste and ac- ceptable to the stomach, ipt in its action and truly beneficial in its effects, red only from the most healthy and agreeable substances, ita many excellent. qualities commend it to all and have made it the most popular remedy known. yrup of Figs is for sale in 50 cent bottles by all leading drag. gists, Any reliable druggist who may not have it on hand will pro- - it promptly — any one who wishes to it. not try aceeptany CALIFORMIA F18 SYRUP CO. i 4M FRABCIBOD, BRIAR PIPE GIVEN AWAY —_—_»____ At All News Stands.
