“Today the confeience reached a

said that delay was the only possible

neither assume nor'guarantee an* part

render to tbe United States tbe entire

recently made the statement that had

tion of the American army, its inability
to withstand the hardslii;aot a cam
paign, its lack of medi' al and other
supplies and general inefficiency, aa
told in tbe American papers, the Span
iards would not have given up, but
would have continued the fighting for
a long time to come, fully believing
that they would have been able to pre-
vopt the ctptuie of Cuba'by American
arms. This 'statement is known to
have been made to the American of-

there has been astonishing increase in

In 1893 tbe total import of that flour
waa 1,300,000 pounds, but in 1890,
the business had swelled to a total of
33,000,000 pounds, with a marked in
creasing tendency. During 1897 the
quality of imports fell off slightly, but
, the value increased 380,183 as com
pared with the preceding year.

by negative action, owing to the atti

case by the assumption that little or no
action was necessary regarding Cuba on
the ground that its disposition was
definitely fixed by the terms of the pro
tocol. Notwithstanding at the meeting
last Thursday, the Spaniards submit

amounting to holding that the United
