The Spanish l.ii here lt tonight received a eabh-gram from the governor-general of Cuba, savins: the pacification of the paatisni provinces ii so tar advanoed that it lias been decided to rescind the reconcentrado order in three provinces ami allow all subjects of this decree to rclttra to their homes in the country. To aid in the re-establishment ol the reo.oncentradoes upon their farms, the cablegram state the government will grant them the protection of the Span ish miltary forces, augmented by looal relief committees to look after their immediate needs. Kconomio kitchens, it says, are to be established to support the reconcentra does while awaiting for their first crops to mature, and they are to be furnished farming implements and seeds by the government. To (apply them with ready money, such ot them as are able will be given employment on publio works, and it is asserted by the authorities that these measures will result in the speedy re habilitation of rural communities in the western provinces. This cablegram was not made public till more thm an hour after midnight, j and no official comment upon its aig- mfloanoe could be secured. wicKLY MARKET LETTER. SPAIN REALIZES HER POSITION. Kiwi That There It bat Ob Thine to , ad That It to hit In. Madrid, April 1. While the situa tion here is outwardly of the calmest description, the actual position of affairs is regarded as critical by both the United States legation and the Spanish government. The Cnited , States minister, General Stewart Wood ford, is working and will continue to work energetically for peace until the first gun is fired. It is known the Spanish admits the desirability or ne cessity of complying with the demands of the United States, and it is only in the disinclination of the minister to pot this willingness in concrete form where the danger lies. If a conference were to be held with the German or French diplomats, the matter would be settled without question. The point which General Woodford is now press ing is that in the interest of humanity, hostilities in Cuba most ceaseimmedi ately. No date was fixed either in the first or in the present note, but the United States is now dwelling upon j the "immediately," and insisting that j Spain accept its general interpretation. The public generally is taking little apparent interest in the situation, but there is a general disinclination to be lieve that war is likely. A dispatch from Barcelona says that the armed steam yacht Giralda, par chased by the Spanish government from Harry MoCalmont, the Knglieh racehorse owner, after the vessel bad been rejected by the United States, is now being fitted up as a dispatch boat. EI Pais sayi four warships have been obtained by Spain in France, and that negotiations are pending for the pur chse of several torpedo-boats in Great Britain. ; El Pais also says that orders have been issued to mobilize all the Spanish war ships, and that the torpedo-boat Haloon is to sail immediate ly from Cartagena for Cadii, where a second torpedo squadron is being pre pared. Military enginerrs are starting for the Canary islands, and the Bale aric islands are being fortified Italy, it is said by 1 Pais, has de cided to sell the atmored cruiser Gnis seppe Garibaldi, of 6,840 tons, well armored, a sister ship of the Varex, to Spain. Two regiments, according to El Pais, are going to the Canary islands to strengthen the Spanish garrison there. El Pais sees in the meeting between General Woodford and the Spanish minister yesterday an indication that the United States is "gaining time and waiting for the rainy season, so as to take Spain at a disadvantage in Cuba." The Armstrongs' Spanish agent, a Spaniard who is in touch with the gov ernment and commercial people in Spain, has expressed the belief that unless the powers intercede, there will be war. " Main Relief BUI a Law. Washington, April 1. The sot for the relief of the sufferers by the Mains disaster was today approved by the president. The most significant of the naval or dera issued by the navy department re cently was the detachment of Com mender Horace M. Elmer, from Cramps' ship yard, and ordering him to duty "in the mosquito fleet " This auxiliary organization of the navy, which is to be called into service in time of war, is to be composed of small craft of all kinds that may be obtainable by the department upon which a gun may be mounted, and other defensive devices placed. As far as practicable, it is the intention of the department that there shall be a separate set of ships for the defense of the eeaooast cities, the whole to compose the "mosquito fleet." In the event of necessity for a rendezvous of several of these local fleets it can be arranged, as the primary idea is for each local fleet to form the "mobile de fense" of the particular city where it will be called into service to assist in furnishing armament for vessels, and in the event of war, naval officers will be assigned to the command of each of the several local fleets. ; At Brooklyn Navy lard. New York, April 1. At present over 2,000 men are at work in the Biooklyn navy -yards, and work goes on day and night. Work on the Dolphin has been completed, and stores and ammunition have been put upon her.

The belief is pretty genera now that JUiter will carry his deal straight through May, and that there will be no snore money for the May short at Chi cago. There were those who felt In the month that the load would be too heavy for any mortal, and that Letter would be glad to stop. There are those still who believe the bull campaign will wind up with a loss rather than a profit; but even these believe the loss will be taken abroad and that the Chicago campaign will be olosed with a display of fireworks and all the outward sians of triumph. There are clever 'pit pro fessionals who are of the opinion the deal will run into July. Mo one can, in fact, ever foretell the end of these huge speculative operations. The weather is the moat potent hi finance. It might make it possible for the whole bull line to be unloaded in advance of May 81, at a hnge profit, or it might create such a bearish sentiment - the world over as to finally make a loss abroad greatly in excess of any amount exacted from shorts at Chicago. In ternational politics will be a factor; perhaps very bullish, perhaps a very bearish one. War with Spain would hurt prices on its declaration, but would bull prices finally, and peace ful end, on the other band, might jump prices on the first sentiment of relief, but result in a dull, bearish season later. It is not to be forgotten that contract wheat is being poured into the Chicago elevators at the rate of 700,000 bushels per week, and that this stream will be increased as the May delivery day approaches.

Much enthusiasm was manifested throughout its sessions, and when final adjournment was taken, it was with a feeling that the convention had been a success. It was linker City's first experience In entertaining crowd of that oharactcr, and Its citi sens had cause to be gratified at the. re suit. The town surprised itself by its achievement. As the oitisens and vis itors became better acquainted, more informality came into the proceedings, and miners and capitalists got closer together, and the vastness of the mm eral resources of tha region was better appreciated. All felt a personal in terest in mining and irrigation, and no one was so wise that he did not get new and broader ideas, and perhaps more special knowledge of those mat ters so essential to the industrial do velopment of the great Northwest. The last day a oonsitution and by laws for a permanent organization was reported, and, after some discussion, adopted. The name chosen was the Mining and Irrigation Congress; ob ject, to promote and foster mining and irrigation enterprises and other kindred industries; the ofHoers to be a presi dent, a vice-president from each state, who shall ohoose the secretary and treasurer; the meetings to be held an nually, at a time and place to be se lected by the congress; the congress to be composed of delegates fioiu Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Montana, California and Nevada, to be appointed as follows: Seven by the governor of each state; one by the mayor of each city; three by each chamber of comnieroe, com mercial club, board of trade or other similar organization in each city; three from each county, to be appoint ed by the county judge or chairman of the county board; three from each reg ularly organized mining district within the states. The committee on legisla tion will consist of two members from each state, who will present a written report at each annual congress. When it came to selecting place for the next meeting, J. F. Batchelder named Portland as the commercial and financial metropolis of the Northwest, where facilities for accommodating a great gathering and for a display of mining machinery and methods of re ducing ores could he found. K. W. Paris proposed Boise as able to handle a big convention, it being more ceiitral j ly located with respect to the mining states, being itself, in the center ol vast region, whose chief industries the congress would relate to. C. A. Johns j named Baker City. A dezen speeches were made by partisans of tho different places. A ballot resulted as follows: Portland, 41; Boise, 14; Baker City, 6. Portland was made the unanimous choice. " The time for holding the next meet ing was fixed for the first Tuesday in December, 1898, after a long discussion, bringing out seasonable demands of placer and quartz mining and irrigation farming and after referenoe to a com mittee of three whose report was adopt ed. Albert Geieer, of Baker City, was unanimously elected permanent presi dent of the organization. The follow ing vice-presidents were chosen: Oregon Ole J. Olsen, Grants Paw; Idaho State Engineer F. J. Mills, Boise; Washington Dr. J. M. Boyd, Spokane; Utah Thomas D. Lee, Og den. The executive committee is com posed of the following: Oregon Fred B. Meilis, Baker City, and J. F. Batchelder, Portland; Idaho ; A. D. Morrison, Idaho Falls, and 3. F. Hunt, Downey; Washington G. B. Dennis and A. P. Curry, Spokane; Utah R. S. Campbell, Salt Lake City, and R. C- Lund, St. George. Members of the legislative committee: Oregon C. A. Johns, Baker City, and E. J. Frasier, Eugene; Idaho- John C. Rice, Caldwell, and Edgar Wilson, Boise; Washington J. J. Browne and Colonel Lindsley, Spokane; Utah David Keith, Salt Lake City, and H. H. Rolapp, Ogden. The governors of California, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana will be asked to make appointments for their respective states. A committee presented resolutions to the effect that only questions pertaining to mining and irrigation should be dis euseed before the congress; urging im mediate action for a mineral exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi exposition fiom the several states represented in the congress; acknowledging appreciation of and extending hearty thanks to the citizens of Baker City for the many courtesies and attentions received.

Many are the prayers that are breathed for those that have gone forth to brave the dangers of the open ocean, remarks a writer in The Illustrated American, yet catastrophes on record have occurred in still water within iglit, almost within touch of land. The Episcopal prayer book contains a formula of praver for those at sea, which may perhaps inolude those that are upon the waters of rivers or an chored in harbors. The horrors that have occurred within close range of land make more grewsome than humor ous the remark of Captain Cuttle, who, when in a stress of weather, under closo-reeted foresails, with the hatches battered down, used to retire to his cabin and murmur as he sipped his grog, "God help the poor creatures on shore tonight!"

Captain Robley D. Evans, who goes into command of the war ship Iowa, vice Captain Sampson, has no rival for popularity in Washington, or in the navy department. The captain is quoted as having said recently that if be had his way "there would be nothing but Spanish talked in for the next five years." Evans was in command of the Torktown during the late trouble with Chile, and he wanted to blow Valparaiso off the earth because of the insults put upon America by the citizens of that town. But the navy department refused, and Evans was commended for the admirable self restraint he exercised. Since then he has no love for Spain. Evans is gener ally known as "Fighting Bob" Evans, a pseudonym which he dislikes very much. He has a limp which he earned during his service with Uncle Sam in the '60s, and other marks of war on his person. - Evans belongs to a Vir ginia family, and when the South ueceded, his mother, without his con sent, sent his resignation to Washing ton.
