J3 CoDcerninp; the report that the . war department, because of possible trouble with Spaiu, has been making- inquiries cf the trunk line railroads running to thegulf coast and along the southern seaboard as to their facilities for moving war supplies, it can be stated that the only inquiry made daring the past year by the war department on this subject was one in tended to ascertain the cost of execut ing an order made about six weeks I ago by the secretary 'of war looking to the annual exchange of the stations of troops. Of course thU had no warlike purpose whatever for the same num ber of troops that wore added to the department of the East were carried West to take their stations. A flat denial is also given by the best authority to the sensational story that the state department warned Spain against furtheroutrageous treat ment of American commercial agencies doing business with Cuba. It is said tbat owing to radical organic differ ences in the systems- of customs col lection pursued by Spain and the Udited States and the absence from the Spanish system of what are known in this country as post invoices, Amer ican shipping has been more or less embarrassed by detentions growing out of failure to observe the technical requirements of the, Cuban custom system, but nothing has happened re cently to cause strained relations be tween the two governments on this score. !

Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 16. Ci pher dispatches just received report a fierce battle in progress in Pinar del Rio. It is believed that Maceo and Weyler have met. Reports of firearms have been almost incessantly heard for several hour3. The insurgent forces are well located in the hills, and are pouring a hot fire nto the Spanish troops, which are re peatedly driven back in their attempts to capture the Cuban stronghold. The insurgants have the advantage of posi tion, being at a great elevation, but the Spaniards are making a most des perate attack. From a distance it looks as if several towns are in flames.

Caracas, Venezuela, Nov. 13, Details of the proposed settlement of the boundary dispute between Vene zuela and Great Britain through the friendly intervention of the United States government have reached this city and appear to give general satis faction. After careful inauirv anions the leading officials, it appears that the Venezuelan government is dis posed to settle tbe questions indicated in the agreement between the United States and Great Britain without haggling over minor points. The agreement that the title shall be de termined on the occupancy of territory for 50 years is regarded by .Venezuelans as a happy solution of the question. Some demagogues may oppose it, but the people at large will offer no op position to this basis of settlement. Don't trifle away time when you have cholera morbus or diarrhoea.

It turned out that not only the powder, but the guns were well tested, though the cannon have been proved by much higher pressure than that exerted on them yesterday. The artillery officers who have recently arrived from Flor ida were prominent spectators at the trial, as it was the first time, they had seen the new biar euns fired. The men of four artillery batteries wit nessed the workings of the guns and were afterward drilled at the 12-inch rifles and the mortar batteries. The object of the trials was to test some new and improved powder re cently perfected at Santa Cruz. The trials were highly satisfactory and prove that California can produce some of the highest class explosives known. The first test was made with a 1000- pound shell and a charge of 490 pounds of brown prismatic powder. Tbe charge is supposed to be 500 pounds. Tbe new powder gave a screeu veloc ity of 2037 feet per second and a muzzle velocity of 2055 feet, with a pressure of 37,350 pounds. . These figures show that with 35 pounds less powder than allowed, a velocity of 30 feet above re uqirements was obtained with a pres sure 650 pounds below the limit.

There are good grounds for believ ing that Consul-General Lee is in favor of intervention in the interest of se curing the autonomy of Cuba it Gen eral Weyler's campaign does not result in a more peaceful solution of the present difficulty than is expected. General Lee, however, is diplomat! cally reticent as to his views on the situation, and will not admit that he favors intervention. No one is more anxiously watching for developments than President Cleve iana. ineuuDan ieature or his mes sage is held back, and will not be written until something definite is heard as to the result of General Wey ler's military operations in Pinar del Rio. No one can say now how the president will deal with the Cuban question in his message. All will de pend upon tbe result of Weyler's cam paign. Should Weyler be repulsed or should he return to Havana without having accomplished any result at all everything would be in a chaotic state in Cuba, and in Spain, and there is no telling what the consequences would be. Of the possibilities connected with General Weyler's campaign, a com plete victory over Maceo is considered the least likely to occur.

Snipes 4 Kinersly Drug Co. Plant of the Oregon Cracker Company Completely Destroyed. Portland, Nov. 17. The south end of the Zent Psi building, owned by the J. C Ainsworth estate, 'at the corner of Front and Davis streets, a three story brick structure, occupied by the Oregon Cracker Company, was com pletely gutted by fire last evening. No estimate of the loss sustained could be Laewirfid, .but Jt L l-ill .probably reach $30,000, two thirds of which will fall on the cracker company, which is cov ered by an insurance of $10,000. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr. Ambrose E. Gantenbem, secretary of the Oregon Cracker Company, was tbe last to leave the building last even ing, after the work of the day had been completed. He said the oven fires had been carefully banked, and there was no sign of any fire in other portions of the building occupied by the company. As near as can now be conjectured, the fire originated in the back part of the building, near the elevator, and had been in progress for some time before discovered. When . first seen, it ap peared as though the entire roof of the building was in flames, and special Of ficer Riel'y, about 10 P. M., hastily turned in an alarm from box 142, at Third and Davis streets. It was not until 11 o'clock that the fire was under complete control. The flames at one time broke through the wall into that portion of the building immediately adjoining the part occu pied Dy tne cracker company, but a line of hose was run up the stairway, and the fire headed off. The Zent Psi building was built by Captain J. C. Ainsworth, in 1881 and for several years the second and third stories were entirely occupied by the O.-R. N. and Northern Pacific com panies. Of late years it has 'not been proftible investment to the owners greater part of the building not being tenanted. . Escaped Prisoner Returns. La Plata, Md., Nov. 16.

The operation of divesting these creatures of their shells is cruel ia the extreme. Tho tortoise shell that we value is merely the scales that cover the bony shield of the turtle. These scales are "thirteen in number, and a large turtle will furnish about eight pounds. In order to detach this shell from the living animal (for they don't want to kill them, as in that case they would be exterminated in a few years) they fasten him down, and then put dry leaves and grass under his back, to which they set fire. The heat causes the scales to separate at the joints. They then insert a large knife beneath them and lift the shell from the back. Many turtles die under the operation, but they have been known to be caught a second time with an outer coating reproduced, but in such cases there was only one piece, instead of thirteen.
