Condition ot (invcrtintit is alt tfait Could

New Y'ork, July L A special to Uie
Herald from Washt-yton iwy:
"Tim overnmc;it flnonciul affair, are
In kooiI nhiiinv." nuld Secretary Gujee In
.1.-1 1 tervtew. "We have come to th
end of the flncal year with a good resour-.e
Uliifid un arl biinhtor hop for the
future. I fi el assured that by the lime
J a :ie S), l, rolls urourul the govern
ment's affair will tic i.y better condition,
wnlle the people of the country will have
caim for lau.nk fulness that a new era
of proMierlty has set In. With the end of
the lineal year IM5. o: year ago," con
tinued Mr. G.me, "the gold reserve was
only tll.W.M. or Just barely above the
thiort-Ucal reserve of a hundred millions.
There wits a fear that before the year
was over there might be ry large tx
ports, eomiM-llln the administration to
'nmili tnsue bonds for gold. Now we
not only have a gold reserve of N41.000,-
'", but there Is not a cloud In sight
as to Its continuance approxltnatelr at
mat very comfortable level This Is the
mwit hopeful Ik".i that I see In the pres
ent cundltion of the government's finan
ces, for when the country Is ill right and
the government all right, the gold reserve
Is sure to be all right, and vice versa.
"At the end of this fiscal year, looking
over the otliclul statement which has
I been ovi my desk, the condition of the
government Is all that could be desired.
There Is no trouble with the gold re
serve, that barometer of confidence. The
buniftess mo., capitalists and lnvesum,
not only of our own country, but of the
world, are content with our sitiuitlu.: and
prospects. All the nervousness which
formerly held us tn Its tolls has disap
peared. In Its place we have cortflJor.ee
I in Hit- future, coatlilonce In the govern
ment, confidence In ourselves. The hoard-Ir.k-
of fol.l has rtopiicO ami much of the
1 yellow mail that was piled away during
the depression has come out and gone
I Into circulation.
j ' The closing of the rlscnl year brings
Jus nearer Ij the passage of a new tariff
ilaw which will jrlve business a settled
j condition, we Ikiiw. for a long time. That
!lt will also give tne governmem dufflclent
'reve .ue for Its needs, doing away with
the deficit, we have satisfactory evi
dence."

The officials report the men In the five

a few days lo.tger. Several small strike
have occurred. District President iKilnn

"WIT TO PRESS IT
Trial of the Competitor Crefc;ill be
Delayed for I'olicy's Sake.
WEVLER MAKES EXCISES
But Meantime the .": Are Lan'n.aishittn'in
frison Rati in t Critical Condition
Fierce renting Ones On.
New York. July 1. A Herald dlnpatch
from Havana says:
The trial of the Competitor crew will
not take placo for several months yet,
unless the United States presses the mat
ter. The authorities her hesitate to
bring the men to trial for diplomatic "
feasor. They realize the fact thnt If
the law. of Spain mean anything, an' are
not to be brought Into disrepute, the sen
tence of the Competitor filibusters must
be a severe or. ; On the other hand,
Spain does not desire to aggravate any
hostile ifeeUn that may already exist
in Ithe United State against her. It
was JuM about the middle of July that
Consu!-Gcnral Lee, by direction of his
government, pressed here for an early
trial. He pointed out that a lung delay
had already tnkej place, and declared It
unjust. To the consul's letter General
W'eyler sent a mwst Indefinite reply. He
txKajrt ly excusing the delay on the
ground that proceedings on the part of
the froeecutlca ,iad consumed mu.U
time, and now, he said, the lawyers who
had been assigned to the prisoners nail
been given until the end of July to pre
pare the defense.
Il conclusion, he stated that It was
Impossible to say when the trial would
1 brought on." This means that It nan
been thought best to delay the trial In
definitely. In the meantime the Compet
itor crew are Ifirtgulshing to prison. Some
ot them caijiot stand the confinement
much longer. They are not treated badly,
so far as Spanish treatment of prison
ers goes in Cuba. Americans -ennnot
real lie what the confinement In CaNinas
during; these hot month means. When
Melto'., for example, wns taken prisoner,
he was a remarkably fine specimen of
"-nf-crid. Today he Is broken down be
yond recognition. His shoulders are
bowed and his frame wasted to skin and
bone. Disease among Spanish troops la
Santlage de Cuba has been so severe thnt
hen Ger.eral Weyler ordered the move
Into the Interior again against the rebels,
the only soldiers available were conval
escents. All over the Island tilwase
among the Spanish troops Is Increcslrn;
at a fearful rate. Out of the thousand
mtn in the Vesar IhaUallon tn Pi-.nr del
Rio, nearly TOO have been rendered unfit
for service by malaria. The hopitals
In Havana nre crowded to overflowing.
General Ruix Rivera Is daingerously ill:
The priso-crs' doctors have performed
a delicate operation upon him. and he
