The senate com m ittee on foreign re­

bcommittee ap,minted yesterday to
nfer with the president and Secre-
ry Sherman. Tiie rejiort was pre-
red by Davis and Foraker, Repnbli-
n members, Morgan, the Democratic
ember, declining to participate in it.
The report consisted o f a concise
»teinent of the contents o f official re­
sts from the Am erican consuls in
‘uba, bringing information up tow ith -
a week. This report confirms the
¡ewspnper reports as to the situation
tiie island, and even goes farther in
spicting the deplorable situation than
¡t> most of the newspaper stories. Es­
p ia l stress is laid upon the condition
American citizens.
It is positively
»ted that hundreds are in a starving
ndition and
wretchedly
clothed,
■eaths are d aily reported. Americans
fre scattered in all parts o f the island,
pd are shown no consideration what­
ever because o f their Am erican citizen,
pip.
Tiie Americans are generally persons
ho reside on the plantations, but who
ave been driven from their homes to
¡lie towns, and, being among strangers
nd without employment, are compell-
d to subsist on almost nothing. They
'e not allowed to return to their plan-
ionn^even to pick berries or secure
ie leasl article o f subsistence. They
e theoretically under the care o f the
Panish army, but the army is without
commissariat. T h ey have no means
leaving the island. T h eir condition
pronounced w h olly deplorable.
The committee was especially im-
essed w ith this recital, and the opin-
n was generally expressed that the
tuation should be remedied, i f possi-
le. It was considered as placing even
worse aspect upon the question of oar
'ations w ith Cuba than the imprison-
«nt of Americans, o i which there are
'w comparatively few instances.

Washington, May 17.— The move­

There were too

way of adopting such a stamp, and tiie

Sacramento, M ay 17.— An a p p N » .for
the life of Theodore Durrurit, lie», con­
demned murderer of Blanche Lament,
Was today heard in tiie court of last
resort. G overnor' Dudd sat in final
judgment in the case,' ' uifd Eugene
Deuprey, attorney for Durraut, argued
eloquently for the life of ins client.
The governor listened to the argument
in silence, and only once did he show
any sign of being impressed. That was
when Attorney Deuprey asked him to
compare certain w ritin g o f Rev. Dr.
Gibson with tiie w ritin g oil the pack­
age sent by the murderer to the mother
of his victim .' The governor scrutin­
ized tlie w riting closely, and asked to
be given tiie originals for comparison.
Dun-ant's attorney iipd come pre­
pared to spring a sensation in tiie case
by producing a document, purporting
to lie a confession of a San (Quentin
convict named * John Rosenburg, tiiat
lie was tin», muplerer o f Blanche La-
mout, and Durraut had nothing to do
with tiie case. The alleged confession
was. introduced, but was devoid o f in-
fiuence, owing to the fact that the gov­
ernor had learned o f the matter, and
had ascertained positively that John
lfosenburg did not arrive in California
until seven months after the crime was
committed.
The governor said nothing that would
give an intimation o f what ho would
do in the case, lior did tie show that lie
was particularly impressed by any ar.
gunient that was advanced.

Bridgeport, Conn.,. ,May 17.— “ The

was the verdict accorded by the officers
at the conclusion of the ppeed trial o f
the new gunboat N ashville today on
Long Island sound.
,
The speed required bv tiie govern­
ment was 13.07 knots. T h e average
speed made by tiie vessel was 16.76
knots, making an excess of speed very
near three knots. W ith a bonus o f
# 20,000 for each excess knot, this
meuns a total of $ 00,000 for the build­
ers.
The tim e for the thirty miles' out
was 1:35:86. The elapsed tim e for the
second run was 1:48:16. Tiie gunboats
Nashville, W ilm ington and Helena
were provided for by act of congress
approved March 3, 1893, and in Janu­
ary of the year follow ing tlieir building
was awarded to the N ew port N ew s
Shipbuilding Company,

carried out tlieir contract that, not
only have the vessels won tiie highest
praise for their workmanship, finish
and performance, but tlieir excess de­
velopment o f speed lias already netted
the contractors the snug bonus of

group of persons at tiie pier of an ap­
proaching train. The accident occur­
red at the wagon-crossing on the mole,
just beyond the eastern approach to the
big depot.
A party of four men
walked ulong the roadway, not noticing
tiie approach of a train. In his anxiety
to save thedl from accident, Emmons
did not observe a local train that was
backing down, and stepped aside to
avoid another train right in front of
the local. The brakeman on the rear
car yelled, but the car struck the white-
haired flagman w ith terrific force,
fracturing his skull. H e fe ll in such a
way tiiat the wheels only caught his
right foot, otherwise he would have
been mangled horribly.
Emmons, who is 68 years old. was

Tin* week's contribution o f statistics
was on tiie whole more bullish than tiie
j average o f .late.
Bradstreet’s report
, showed a decrease o f 6 , 000,000 bushels
in the world’ s visible supply. Our
own visible supply decreased '2,550,000
bushels, and the w orld ’s shipments
were 5,000,000 bushels. These facts,
however, are no longer regarded. The
trade generally has settled down to an
acceptance o f tiie fact tiiat there is
plenty of wheat to run well into the
next crqp year, and that at the present
rate o f demand tiie ini|>ortaiit consider­
ation is not as to the stocks on hand,
t but us to tin* pros|iocts for the yield
this fall. Tin* consideration relied u;>on
in tills respect o f the statistics was that
short crops abroad would cause an unu­
sual drain upon Am erican supplies.
Y e t in the last seventeen weeks the
American official visib le has decreased
but 21 , 000,000 bushels in round num­
bers, w hile in the same period last year
it decreased 14,000,000 bushels, and in
the same period in 1895 it decreased
23,000,000 bushels.
During tiie same
period tiie world shipments this year
were 72,264,000 bushels, of which
Am erica furnished 89,462,000 bushels.
It appears, therefore, that the theoret­
ical requirements of 7,000.000 bushel«
a week is very strictly a theory as dis­
tinguished from a condition. Condsid-
eraturns of this kind muke tiie average
trader apt to pay little attention to the
statistical position.
The war factoi
lias now quite disappeared from the
market, and it seems tiiat domestic
conditions as to weather, etc., are like­
ly to have most influence in making
prices for the immediate future.
The crop reports that have come in
from abroad of late are indicative of
short harvests in some of the most im-
portant
wheat-producing
countries;
but, of course, it is too early for any
trustworthy showing in that regard.
There are still many reports of jhjoi
pros(>ects. T iie drouth continues to a
degree in California, ulthough some
rain lias fallen there.
