SPOTS AND FUTURES
New York Sun' Beview of the Cotton

New Y-ORK. June 8 The Sun says:
Cotton declined seven points on August
and two to three points on the rest of
the list, rallied and advanced seven to
nine painis. then lost part of the im
provement, closing barely steady at a
net loss for the day of two to five points,
with sales of 115,600 bales.
To day's features: Cotton in the water
was thrown on tbe market by Liverpool
early in the dav and New Yora prices

afloat on Saturday that rather heavy
rainfalls had occurred in different parts
of that State, tut they were denied to
day, and this, -together with consid
erable covering ot shorts, lifted prices
here ten to eleven points on
some month j from the lowest figures of
the morning. The it'0n?e5t features
were October, November, uecemoeranu
January, which were bought by leading
cotton interests here and also by the
shorts. This crop, especially August,
lagged far behind. Tnere is believed to
be a good short interest in the next crop
and certainly-it responded quickly to
bullish news. Alabama sent reports that
too much rain was falling and the pre

SENATE.
Washington, June 8. The Senate
passed the new General Deficiency bill
to-day, in les3 than three quarters of an
hour Ordinarily a bill of 130 printed
pages would, have taxed the powers of
the reading clerk for at least two hours ;
but the reading of this bill was com
pleted in half aa hour. An attempt was
made by Mr. Harris of Tennessee, Dem
ocrat, to have the claims under the Bow
man act, aggregating about half a mil
lion dollars, placed in the bill; but they
were ruled out on a point of order, and
the bill was promptly passed without
amendment.
A formal conferecce report was made
on the Pcstoffice Appropriation bill and
was agreed to. Postal conference re
ports on the Indian Appropriation bill
and on the District of ColumbiafAppro
priation bill were made and agreed to;
and further conferences were ordered.
The Immigration bill was taken up
and Mr. Morgan of Alabama. Democrat,
made another long speech upon the
question of the war in Cuba, in the course
of which he disclaimed having hereto
fore said anything offensive to the
Queen Regent ot Spain. He eulogized
uer as a woman of very high character
and of almost unexceptionable virtue,
and said that she was entitled by virtue
of the regency of womanhood to the
utmost respect and that every Senator
so treated her and so spoke of her. He
spoke of General Weyler however, as a
brutal soldier, who plunged his blood
stained sword in the bosoms ot women
and children.
The Senate at 5.40 o'clock adjourned
until to-morrow, leaving four of the
general appropriation bills (the Indian
District of Columbia, Naval and Sundry
Civil) still in conference.
Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, introduced a
bill appropriating $69,550, to pay the
Richmond Locomotive and Machine
Works for damage and losses incurred in
the construction jot the" armed battleship
Texas. This amount formed an item in
the General Deficiency bill as it was in
conference before original passage and
was among the last to be dropped by
the conference.
On motion of Mr. Perkins of Califor
nia, the Senate bill appropriating $350,
000 for a public building at Oakland,
California, was taken from the calen
dar and passed.

ness. In conclusion the House heard
with applause the message announcing
that the Senate had passed without
amendment tbe General Deficiency bill
which the House passed Saturday after
noon. Twice Mr. Daniels of New York, Re
publican, endeavored to bring up for
consideration, the report cf Elections
Committee No. 1 on the contes.ed elec
tion case of Truman H. Aldricb, Re
publican, vs. Oscar W. Underwood,
Democrat, from the Ninth Alabama dis
trict. Tbe fifstjtime the House relused 53

lurther recess was taken until 10 olclock
to-morrow morning. It will be id order
then. There will be. it is understood,
no adjournment of the House until it

In connection with the presentation
of the conference report on the Post
office Appropriation bill, Mr. Loud took
occasion to present some figures going
to show that the operation of the
"sample-copy pound rate"' law, passed in
1883, was responsible, for tbe increasing
deficenciES in the postal revenues. These
had increased, he said, from $3,180,000
in 1883-84 to. $10,196,000 in 1894 95. He
exhibited samples of what he character
ized as the ' stuff," which under that law
-wastransmitted through the mails and
the exhibit seemed to greatly interest
the members.

St. Louis, une 8. There appears to
be considerable difficulty in securing
quarters for the colored delegates to

not intend that they shall come to St.
Louis and either go hungry or eat in a
place in which they would not stable a

Horrible Murdere of Defeneelesa People

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Havana, via Tampa, Jane 8. That
the work ol extermination of non-com
batants, or "pacificos" as they are styled
here, continues to a greater or less ex
tent is evidenced by the reports which
are received from the country. Not a
day passes without some shocking story
is told of brutal assassinations com
mitted by tbe troops on defenceless
people whose sole crime is being wit
nesses of the war raging all over the
island without taking any part in it.
Here are a few tacts selected from the
many that are told.
On the 2d inst., a column of Spanish
troops commanded by Col. Ochoa, op
erating around Jaruco, Havana province,
captured a poor miserable boy of fifteen
years of age named Juan Rodriguez,
suffering from nervous prostration and
so weak that he could hardiy
move without assistance. This un
happy creature was dragged from his
home, a little farm near Casiguas, and
without any compassion for his pitiable
state, he was butchered on the roadway
to Tapaste for the sole crime of being a
cousin of a leader in the rebel army
named Victor Simon.
On June 1st, Simon Yruri, member of
one of the best families of Jaruco, was
arrested on suspicion of being a rebel
sympathizer, by orders of Gen. Mel
guizo. He was too well known to be
taken out of tbe town and shot in the
fields, as this would create a scandal, so
they made a semblance of a couit
martial, and with all the apparent for
malities of the law be was publicly shot
in the square of the town. The deed
created general indignation when it was
known that Melguizo had ordered the
execution on his own authority without
consulting the Captain General, who is
the only one empowered to order such
proceedings.
On Tune 4th last Mr. Lorenzo Medina,
a native of the Canary Islands. 49 years
of age and a cattle dealer of some means,
and Tuan Toledo, a Cuban of thirty
years of age, owner of a cart shop
both well known and esteemed in tbe
town of Jaruco were arrested on no
charges known. They were lodged in
the civil guard's barracks and the next
morning they were taken out of the
town under promise of prompt release
and treacherously shot behind the
slaughter house;
It is known that Valencia had a fight
with Col. Fondeviela, of Campo- Flon
do fame, in which this "Brave" was com
pletely routed, losing 32 dead left on the
field. This has never been reported of
finally. .-
The Biyamo gcerillfs, about 100
men, commanded by Gabino Guerra,
have joined the rebels, seduced by Ca
lixto Garcia when he passed near thit
p!ace las: week.
In banti Spiritus, a band cf musicians
of the local volunteers, headed by its
band master, Jus'.o Alvarez, with all the
instruments ot the band, also went over
to the woods to enliven the time fo' the
boys"
Havana, June 8 Official reports are
received to-day, giving details of many
skirmishes that have taken place, none
of which, however, is of much impor
tance. According to the reports, the
rebels' losses in these skirmishes
amounted to thirty-six killed, seven
wounded and nine taken prisoners,
while tbe troops lost only 12 wounded.

"tVASHiNGTON. June 8. A letter re
ceived nere to s morning i.-om L-iara
Barton, president of tbe American
National Red Cross Society, who is now
in active field work in Armenia, shows
a very encouraging state of affairs in
that country.
Agencies have been established ty
Miss Barton in nearly every province,
some of which contain as many as three
hundred villages. The women having
been furnished material are hard at
work making garments for Distribution,
while the men are building houses and
sheds for their families and cattle. The
distribution of seeds hat started many
of tbe men farming, while large num
bers cf mechanics have also been put to
woik. Thousands of tools for farmers
and mechanics have been distributed.
The contagious diseases are being over
come, but a strong force of physicians
will be kept in the field for emergencies.
There is a great demand by the vil
lagers for oxen, and es soon as possible
the Red Cross will allow each village
two yokes. This will take from twelve
to fifteen thousand oxen. Miss Barton
reports that everything is going cn
smoothly, and that much good has been
accomplished, but that thete ate many
months of hard work yet before the
members of the society before they can
begin to think of returning to their
homes.

Cairo, June 8. Advices rrceived
from Akasheh, the advance post occu
pied by the Egyptian troops in the Sou
dan,. this morning, say that in the battle
whfch took place between the Egyptians
and the Dervishes at and around Firket,
800 Dervishes were killed and 450 prison
ers taken. The number ok wounded
Deryishes is not teported. The number
of Egyptian troops engaged in the battle
was 4,000. while tbe Dervishes are esti
mated to have numbered 4,500 The
gallantry displayed by the Egyptians
is highly praiseaf Their action in
this engagement bears out the con
tention of those military men who hold
that there had been in recent years a
vast change in the bravery and morale
of the Egyptian army, and confounds
those critics who declared that the
native troops could not withstand the
wild rushes of the Deryishes but would
become panic-stricken and aliow them
selves to be slaughtered like sheep.
Barcelona, Juns 8. As the result of
the explosion ot the bomb thrown into
the street while a religious procession
was pissing last evening,. eleven persons
were killed and forty wounded. The

tor the purpose of meeting the expenses
of the Soudan expedition has formally
pronounced judgment against the pro
posal to draw upon the commission of
tbe public debt for the sum asked for or
any part thereof. This action of the

bunal to decide upon tbe question.
London, June 8. I a the British
House of Commons, Mr. Timothy M.
Healy. in the course of the debate on
the Irish Land bill, approved part of the

Mr. Healy said, might be nude b;nefi
cial, but it did not bear the stamp of fi
nality. it the bill was intended to get
rid ot tne land question in the future, he
continued, the Government was greatly
mistaken.
Mr. John Morley said that there was
not the slightest chance that the bill
would pass this session ' unless it was
sent to a grand committee to be
amended.
Mr. John Redmond demanded that
the Government declare whether or not
they intended to pass tbe bill. The min
istry, he fa d, admitted tbe great impor
tance of the bill and promised tocirry it
through speedily, yet they had placed
trivial measures in front of it to obstruct
its passage, lhe bill then passed its
second reading.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star,
Baltimore, June 8. Democratic
primaries for the election of delegates to
the three legislative district conventions
were held in this city to-day. The reg
ular organization selected the delegates
without opposition, to speak, and will
control the Baltimore representation in
the State Convention next Wednesday.
Aside from the selection of sixteen del
egates to the Democratic National Con
vention and the adoption of a sound
money platform, nothing else will be
done by tbe State Convention.
There is some talk of sending eight
deleaates-at large to Chicago with half a
vote each. This may be done to insure
the election of Congressman John K.
Cowen as a delegate. The sound
money men of the State are anxious to
have him as their spokesman in the Na
tional Convention, but Mr. Gorman does
not favor the idea. p"
Baltimore county Democrats held
their convention to-day. A resolution
was unanimously adopted endorsing
President Cleveland in his views on the
money question and pledging itself to a
sound money currency. Tbe President's
name was cheered.

effects are-due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. ODly and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
