THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1902 SPANISH FIGHTING IN GUBA slarfed efforts in our southern States which have resulted in important developments. The secret of Cuba’s delicious Vuelta tobacco has been found out and successfully applied in three States touching southern Atlantic and Gulf waters. ' At the time when tobacco agriculture was par- alyzed in Cuba, Bondy & Lederer of New York were in=- duced to experiment with transplanted tobacco sprouts (not seed growths, but best young Vuelta plants), in por- tions of Florida and Louisiana and Texas, where the land elevation and dis- tance from salt water was right. Sea mists turned into a heated moisture by a tropical sun, daily aiternating this steamed hot-house-like moisture with the dead heat which dries it up before each sunset, are the necessary atmospheric conditions. A soil made loamy with a rich decayed vegetation developed and rotted for ages in alternating mist and heat is the necessary kind of soil. With soil exactly the same, land eleva- tion similar, and action of the sun and the sea air just right all that was necessary was the introduction of the plant exa:tly as it was introduced and multiplied in Cuba’s Vuelta abajos district half a century ago. The result of growing perfect Vuelta Enormously Increased value Ina popular priced pro tobacco on American soil could not fail and it has been even more than a complete success, for the new soil has ylelded admittedly finer results than the old soil whose richness had been sapped so long. With these growths Bondy & Lederer escaped the enormous import duties and have been able to use this class of filler for the first time ever known in a five cent cigar.

We guarantee that if you try a TOM KEENE cigar you will find it has that same mellow ‘‘Java Coffee taste” peculiar to the finest grades of imported cigars of the milder type. You will recognize at once, and will appreciate this marked difference in a cigar at five cents, and we believe will be likely to circulaie this information among your friends and help induce them to try the TOM KEENE cigar, and themselves recognize its new effect in taste and aroma. We know fully about these plantations of Bondy & Lederer, in Florida, Louisiana and Texas.

ALBANY, N. Y., July 25.—One fireman @ead, one in the hospital, believed to be dying, and a number seriously injured, in addition to a monetary loss variously es- timated at from $500,000 to $750,000, is the result of & fire which broke out in the heart of the business district shortly be- fore 3 o'clock this merning. The dead fireman {s D. K. Bishop, an auxiliary member of the Insurance patrol, and prominent in the city's soclal and financial circles. James G. Shelley, a fellow member of the patrol, was dug out of a mass of ‘wreckage terribly burned and with both hips dislocated, both legs broken, one arm shattered and severe internal injuries. He will probably dle. Another fireman who is seriously injured is Frank H. Wetherman, superintendent -of the Insurance patrol, who is suffering from concussion of the spine and intermal Injuries. The fire started on the top floor of the public market buflding on Beaver street and spread rapidly to the Columbia hotel and the Biks club house, which adjoln it, west and east, respectively. While the firemen were at work the front wall of the market bullding fell anc carried with it the first story of the Colum- bla bullding. It was in the latter bullding the firemen met thelr fate. They were spreading tarpaulins on the upper floor and were caught under the mass of wreckage. Before the fire was finally under control it communicated to the Union National ‘Republican club house and the bullding weccupled by the KEvening Times-Union. Neither of these establishments suffered to any great extent. Among the heaviest losers will be the La Rubber Stamp works, the Crucible Steel company, Lester Parker Furniture company, Albany Rubber Tire Wheel com- pany, Huth & Fisher Shirt factory, United The Beverage of Health No temperance drink has won such universal popularity a8 a thirst quencher and blood purifier as Rose’s Lime Juice The product of the choicest West Indian Lime Fruit.

WASHINGTON, July 25.—Through the United States charge of embassy at St. Petersburg, Mr. Riddle, the State depart- ment has just recelved a copy of the Rus- sian law touching upon trusts, which has excited so much comment in Europe. This note, which takes the form of a circular, was identical and was handed in St, Pe- tersburg to the representative of all of the powers that participated in the Brus- sels sugar conference, and, in addition, to Mr. Riddle for transmission to his govern- ment at Washington. Just why this was done in view of the fact that the United States government was not represented at the Brus: conference can only be conjectured, and it is supposed that it was supplied as a matter of infor- mation and as a cour‘esy. Certain it Is that in the present view the United States executive cannot participate in such a con- ference as it described, because of consti- tutional limitations that cannot be escaped, even If there were .no other objections. From a perusal of the mote, which is in officlal print, it appears that its references to trusts, which are rather incidental and alternative in character, have attracted the principal sbare of public attention, al- though the whole note appears to be framed as an argument in support of the Russian system of regulating sugar pro- duction and export. d The reference to an International trust conference is actually the question pre- sented In the shape of an alternative pro- posal, or rather suggestion, only in case the soundness of the Russian contemtion in suppert of its present system is suc- cesstully challenged. The State department cannot do more at this etage than it has done, namely, return a polite acknowledgment through Mr, Riddle of the note and watch develop- ments in Burope. It is not supposed that there will be at once any action toward calling any ‘conigress, but rather the dis- cussion as to the character of the Russian evntem of regulation of sugar production will proceed, certalnly up to the date set for the applicajion of the sugar agreement reached at Brissels for the stoppage of sugar bountles hnd the exclusion from im- That ac- tion will, it is expected, precipitate some declsion upon the Ruselan proposals. MEDALS FOR VALOR IN WAR Emblems of Houor Will Be Tendered for Meritorious Service In Wer ¥ Campalgn. WASHINGTON, July 25.—Now that the list of officers and men of the mavy who are to receive the West Indlan eampalgn medals and bars has been completed, the naval board on awards is busylng it with the ‘“meritorious service” medals, which are intended to go to these oficera who rendered particularly telling services in the West Indian naval cam A So far ouly four persons have been de- cided upon for the meritorious service medal. These are Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, for the well-known feat with Merrimac; Lievienants Ward and Buck, for thelr pertlous mission into Spain, and Lisutenant Victer Blue, for hia fa- mous work in connection with the location of the Spanish fieet in Santiago harbor. It is understood that meritorious service | medals are intended for the American off - leers and men who rendered exceptional of the service in the rescue of the drowning offi- cers and men of the defeated Spanish fleet at Santlago. The reports of the rescue showed that the Spaniards themselves showed warnings to the rescuers not to approach for fear of the exploding maga- zines, but the Americans persisted in their efforts to save In the face of menacing destruction. The main function of the award board is not to specify individuals for recogni- tion, but to select certain service which it deems worthy of commemoration by medals.

Supplies of coal are curtailed by the strike, although coke ovens are making new records of pro- duction. Shipments are retarded by the car and motive power shortage. In the outlook for long continued activity seems favorable, especially as the scarcity of fuel cannot continue a factor indefinitely, All forms of pig iron have sold ahead and there is no evidence of over production in the near future at least. ~Billets are still somewhat unsettied by heavy impcrtations, yet domestic prices are steady and furthet foreign arrivals are expected. The week has brought out more liberal orders for rallway ‘supplies and the structural mills have taken contracts dating still further into next year, Makers of agricuitural machinery and tovls grow more confident the season advances and all lines of fipished steel are in an exceptionally firm condition. Further advances are reported in speiter, which has shown great strength during the last two weeks. but other minor metals tended toward weakness, Footwear factories have' returned to al- most full operations, contracts coming for- ward freely from wholsalers at the large cltles. Aside from moderate buying for Red sea ports, there has been little trade in the export division of the cotton goods market. Domestic purchases are confined to jmmedi- ate requirements as a rule, the finer grades alone being ordered in advance.

Caused by Coffee. Physicians know that drugs will not correct the evils caused by coffee, and the only remedy is to stop drinking it. Dr. W. J.

There was less activity in the speculative markets for the leading cereals, yet prices were fairly well maintained. Meats were somewhat weaker on larger receipts and smaller export buying. Among the other staples, coffee continues active and firm, despite the statistical situation, while cot- ton was irregular because improved crop prospects acted in opposition to the brisk demand for consumption. Finally the former influence prevalled and quotations declined sharply. Failures for the week numbered 209 in the United States, against 198 last year, and seventeen in Canada, against twenty- elght last year. BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE, Improved Corn and Cotton Situa- tions Increase Oonfldence. NEW YORK, July 2.—Bradstreet's says: Crop conditions as to corn and cotton have improved and the confidence in fall trade shows no diminution, but rather an in- crease. The best advices come, as here- tofore, from the northwest and southwest. Il frade In dry goods promises to be e. A further improvement is, however, noticed in shoes and leather, and wool Is again higher In price, despite manufactur- ers holding back buylng.

As indicative of activity ‘widespread directions it is noted by western hardware men that there will be no dull season this year. Railroad earn- ings show gains of over & per cent o far for July, and bank clearings have begun to show the gains earlier predicted over last year's totals, reduced as they were by hot weather and drouth effects on spec- Ulation. Crop reports to Bradstreet's are ised by speculatiol especially good from the southwest, where corn and cotton have been favored by good growing weather. ‘With pig iron consumers clamorous for supplies the balance of. this years produc: tion already booked and free buying for the first half of next year at only $1 per ton Jess than regular rates, and forelgn imports large, the iron and steel trade in the cruder forms presents exceptional elements of strength Buyers of structural iron are engagin tar ahead, steel rails orders are large an bar ect sales are large, though not s heavy as last week.
