and to refrain from improper interfer¬

caused much gratification in official
circles at Washington. Although the
state department officials decline to
admit the fact, there is reason to be¬
lieve that these matters have been
communicated to them either through
United States Minister Taylor at Mad¬
rid, or through Senor Muragua, the
Spanish minister at the capital. There
is no disposition in any quarter to
doubt that the Spanish assurances are
satisfactory as far as they go, and that
the incident has already passed into a
phase where it will yield to adjustment
by ordinary methods of diplomacy.
HONORING CONFEDERATE DEAD
A Monument in Chicago to bo Dedi¬
cated in May.
General J. C. Under rood, ex-lieu¬
tenant governor of Kentucky, and one
of the most prominent southern men, the
is the author and executor of
movement to build over the 6,000 dead
confederate soldiers who sleep in
Oakwoud park, Chicago, a handsome
monument commemorating their brave
deeds and heroic fortitude.
He has succeeded in this magnifi¬
cent work, the monument has been
completed—the only confederate mon¬
ument north of the Mason and Dixon
line—has been reoognized by the
United States government and will be
unveiled with imposing oeremonies on
May 30th. monument,
The dedication of this
the ceremonies attending which will be
participated in by prominent generals
of both armies, will be a great event
in American history. It will make a
great step toward cementing the divi¬
sion between the sections and will an¬
nihilate much of the bitterness 'lhat
remains. It will be an occasion that
will attract the people all over the
country, and no one can fail to appre¬
ciate its significance. affair.
The monument is a handsome
The pedestal is of Georgia marble and
the statue is of fine bronze. It is
forty feet high from the base to the
top of the statue. Surrounding the
monument will be four cannons, ap¬
propriated by the United States gov¬
ernment by special act of congress,
approved January 25, 1895. The bill
making this appropriation was pushed
through the senate by the efforts of
Senator John B. Gordon. Tho sena¬
tors recognized his good purpose in
the matter and lent him their willing
assistance. The bill passed the house dis¬
during the last session without a
senting voice.
This act of the government consti¬
tutes the first recognition ever shown
the confederacy by the government,
and for that reason is very significant.
The dedication speech will be made
by General Wade Hampton. The
southern generals who will be present
are: General Fitzhugh Lee, General
John B. Gordon, General W. W. Ca¬
bell, Harry Heth, E. C. Walthall, L.
L. Lomax, Marcus J. Wright, M. V.
Butler, Clement A. Evans, F. C. Arm¬
strong, Epps Hunton, William H.
Payne and others. From the federal
side are expected General Schofield,
General Flagler, General Lawler and
General Palmer. The Grand Army
posts will participate in the exercises
and hundreds of confederates will be
present. The Grand Army men have
been for two years assisting in decor¬
ating the graves of the southern sold¬
iers.
General Underwood is very enthu¬
siastic over the outlook for a great
event on May 30th. He expects many
southerners to be present. He also
expects every southern city of si«e to
send a carload of flowers.
THE IRON TRADE.
Advance in Wages Has Contributed
Towards a Better Basis.
The Iron Trade Beview, published
at Cleveland, O., says: The wage ad¬
vance in the CoDnellsville region and
the consequent advance in coke have
been followed by several developments
contributing to the support of a move¬
ment toward a better basis. Within
the week the producers of Standard
Lake Superior bessemer ores have ac¬
quainted their customers with the new
price basis that is to be maintained on
these ores in 1895—an advance of fif¬
teen cents a ton from the opening
price of 1894, and some ores have sold
in the past few days at the higher
price.
Simultaneously as the result of a
movement started before the begin¬
ning of the year, western bar iron
manufacturers have gotten together to
try to check some of the demoralizing
practices that have made that end of
the finished material market a weari¬
ness to all connected with it. Outside
of the iron trade, moreover, the past
fortnight has brought more signs of
promise than has come together in any
equal period in months.
Glass Works Cease Operations.
The Diamond plate glass faotory at
Elwood, Ind., has closed down the
casting halls and will close down the
entire plant Saturday and 800 men
will be thrown out of employment.
The shut down is to take an inventory
of stock and to transfer the plant to
the trust. It is not known how long
the plant will remain idle, but it ie
stated semi-officially that it will resum*
in full in six weeks.
SPAIN IS ALARMED.
HER COMMANDERS CANNOT SUP¬
PRESS THE CUBANS.
Tlie Insurrection Costing the Gov¬
ernment Many Millions.
The latest dispatches from Havana
have alarmed the Spanish government,
as they indicate that the insurrection
is spreading rapidly, and is already
beyond the control of tho local com¬
manders. The decision has been made,
therefore, to send Martinez de Cam¬
pos to Cuba with strong reinforce¬
ments. It is reported that 9,700 ad¬
ditional troops will embark with him.
He will start probably on April 2d.
The torpedo gunboats Filipinas and
Martin Alonzo Pinson and the cruiser
Castalla have received orders to pro¬
ceed with all possible speed to Cuban
waters.
The publication of this news, which
completely contradicts the former san¬
guine dispatches from official sources,
has caused keen excitement in Madrid.
It is further announced that Primo
Rivera has been appointed captain
general of Cuba, to succeed General
Calleja.
The dispatches from General Calleja
intimate that Crombet, Marti and
Gomes, besides Maco, have joined or
are about to join the rebels in Santiago
province. The Cost Considered.
Private reports from Havana in¬
dicate that the number cf insurgents
now in the field is about 7,000. The
government believes that the filibus¬
tered who left Costa Rico, under
Maco, on an English vessel, ;for
Jamaica, were transferred to an Amer¬
ican ship. del
In the senate, Premier Canovas
Castillo said that 5,000 pezetas had
been spent already in fighting the Cu¬
ban insurgents, and tho government
was prepared to make any further
sacrifice that might be demanded. A
minister, whose name is withheld,
stated that 10,000,000 pezetas would
be placed at Campos’ disposal at once.
Several steamers are fitting out to em¬
bark troops at Barcelona, Cadiz and
Carthagena for Cuba.
The premier prefaced his statement
to the senate with the remark that he
had come before the chamber under
unusual circumstances. He proposed
to deal only with the financial ques¬
tions raised by the expedition to Cuba.
He then read a dispatch from Captain
General Callejas, saying that a detach¬
ment of Spanish troops had been de¬
feated by insurgents at Campochulos.
The commander had been summoned
before a court martial, the dispatch
added. The cabinet’s decision to send
reinforcements was due to this news.
COMMISSIONER FINLEY
The New Head of the Southern States
Passenger Association.
William Wilson Finley is the name
of the new commissioner of the South¬
ern States Passenger Association. Hid
name was reported to the meeting of
railroad men, held in Atlanta Wednes¬
day for the purpose of formally organ¬
izing the passenger association, by tbe
special oommittee appointed at the
last mass meeting to nominate officers
and the nomination was concurred in
by the entire membership of the new
association that was formed.
The Southern States Passenger As¬
sociation will begin operations oa
April 15th, and on that day the old
Southern Passenger Association will
die. Mr. Finley will take charge of
the affairs of the office to which he has
been elected that day, and it is be¬
lieved the new association will start
off under most favorable auspices.
It is true that up to date there have
been only about a dozen lines to sign
the articles of agreement, but the
hope is freely enjoyed by all the roads
in the new organization that more of
the roads will come in later.
The other officers of the new asso¬
ciation were also elected. The audit¬
ing committee consists of Mr. Charier
Harman, general passenger agent oi
the Western and Atlantic railway; Mr.
J. C. Haile, general passenger agent
of the Central, and Mr. Joseph Rich¬
ardson, general passenger agent of the
Jacksonville, St. Augustine and In¬
dian River railway. Mr. Harry Wal¬
ters, who has served with signal abil¬
ity aB chairman of the repeated mass
meetings that have worked up the re¬
organization of the new association,
was chosen president of the Southern
States Passenger association.
FIVE TRAIN ROBBERS BAGGED.
Bloodhounds Played an Important
Part in Their Capture.
Five men are now under arrest at
Cripple Creek, Col., charged with the
robbery of the train on the Florence
and Cripple Creek railway. They are
Bob Taylor, Frank Wallace, Lou Yan¬
nick, W. S. Crumley and James Gib
son. Yanniek, Crumley and Gib
son are employed at the Strong mine.
W. S. Crumley is the man who drove
the hack at Colorado Springs when
General Tarsney was taken from the
Alamo Hotel to the outskirts of the
city and tarred and feathered. Blood¬
hounds played an important part in
tracking the men.
