THE GOLD RESERVE IS AGAIN BEING- RAPIDLY REDUCED BY EXPORTERS. Secretary Carlisle in. Conference With New York Financiers on ; Means to Replenish tbe Re- serve Tne Cruiser Minne apolis Ordered to Ar menian Ports No New Developments. Only a Precau tionary Meas ure. Washington, Nov. 20r-The treasury-gold reserves stands to day, with all gold with drawals of the past few days deducted, at $86,803,594. Since July 13th, when the gold exports were resumed, which have con tinued with slight cessation tince that date, $37,600,000 in gold has been withdrawn from the United States treasury for export to Europe. Secretary Carlisle who is now in New York, it is understood, will confer with New York financiers as to replenishing the gold reserve, if it falls below the point of confi dence. Whether the means of building up the gold reserve will take the form of a new bond issue or not, is known only to the President and Secretary Carlisle and neither of these highxoficials is accustomed to make public his plans in advance of action. As a result of consideration of the Turkish situation at yesterday's Cabinet meeting, the cruiser Minneapolis was to dy given orders to take on coal and other stores with out delay and to sail for the European naval station. Her destination is Smyrna, Asia Minor, and her duty will be to assist the flagship San Francisco and the cruiser Mar-bli-head in protecting the interests-of Amer ican missionaries and otber citizens of. the United States. It was stated authoritatively to-day that there was no new developments in the Armenian situation involving this Government, but .from the general aspect of the preseut state of affairs, it was deemed best to aispatch another United States war Vessel The action of the Administration with re gard to the Minneapolis was brought about through numerous appeals from missionary organizations and prominent men in this country to increase the United States naval force on tbe coast of Asia Minor. Scores of letters have been received by the Stat De partment, representing that the lives and property of American missionaries were in jeopardy. The last few days have witnessed an increase in these communications and the order issued to-day was the result. The commander of the Minneapolis is Capt. 6. H. Wadle;gh. The vessel is now at Norfolk where sbe will take 600 tons of coal on board and then proceed to Hampton Roads to, se cure tbe 9u0 additional tons necessary to till her bunkers. With this amount of fuel the Minneapolis would be able to proceed direct to Smyrna without stopping: but she will break the long voyage at Gibraltar to replenish the store The Minneapolis is the fastest vessel in the United States navy. On her official trial trip she maintained an average speed of more inan twenty-tnree xnos tor tne re- S nired time. It is not the intention of the avy Department, however, to test her capabilities in this line, and the vessel will proceed at a rate of between fifteen and six teen knots an hour, which is her most eco nomical speed from the standpoint of coal consumption. Ninety seven tons a dav will be all that is necessary to secure the rate given, while the use of a lesser or a greater amount would be disproportionate, in economy or fleetness, to the re sults that can be obtained by using the amount named. It is expected that tbe Minneapolis will be ready to sail from Hampton Roads for Gibraltar by November 25th. The distance is about 3,200 knots, while from Gibraltar to Smyrna 1,700 more must be traversed. At the rate of fifteen knots an hour the Minneapolis cannot be expected to reach Smyrna in less than six teen days, allowing two days for coaling at Gibraltar. It is more likely, however, that the time consumed in tbe long voyage will be nearer three weeks In addition to her officers The will carry 400 bluejackets and. 45 marines It is understood that Smyrna was selected as her destination because it is the best place for missionaries to gather in the event of danger to their lives. . The Son's Cotton Review. New Yobx, Nov. 20. The Sun's cotton re view says: Cotton fell 4 to 6 points, but recovered this and advanced 6 points( after which there was some reaction, but the close was steady at a net rise for the day of 4 points, with sales of 226,000 bales. Liverpool advanced 21 points and closed, very steady with sales 12,000 bales on the spot to-day and 18.000 yesterday at un changed prices. New Orleans declined 6 . to 7 points, but recovered this and advanced 5 to 6, after which some of the improvement on January was lost, leaving that month 3 points higher. Spot cotton declined 1.16c at Mobile; other spot markets were un changed. New Yorx sold 20 bales for spin ning and 700 were delivered on contract New Or'eans sold 5,000 bales. Mobile 1.200,. Augusta 803 and Savannah 772 Port receipts were 36.322 bales, against 32,100 last week. 48 769 last year and 39.107 in 183; thus far this week 147.7M7. against 142 355 thus far last week. New Orleans expects to morrow 6 000, powihly 9 000 bales, against 9.292 last wee, 12.698 last year and 10,375 in 1893. In Manchester yarn were dull: cloths quiet Augusta received to-day 989 bales, against 1 000 last week and 869 last year; Memphis 3.329. against 3,131 last week and 5,174 last year ; Houston 5 809 against 7,841 last week and 11,000 last year ; 8t Louis 1,911, against 1,263 last week and 1 890 ast year; Cincin nati 2,007, against 2,117. last week and 3,414 year. Houston expects to morrow 6.0UO to 7.000 bales, against 9,833 last year. Houston shipped 12 358 bales. St. Louis 4,246 and Memphis 557. Exports from the ports were 28,200 bales ; total in two days 71,200 Tbe New Yorx warehouse Hock is now 126,0n0 bales, against 66,000, 123.00H, 276,000, 207,000 and 40,000 in the previous five years. To-day's features were: A good many were disappointed at the Liverpool news to day, for a decided advance had been ex pected in that market,' and, accordingly, New York prices at first took a downward course. But. later on, a bullish tide set in and easily carried the market np ard, ow ing mainly to the buying by German houses here for short account and the impression that this element in the market now favors the bull aide for, at least a turn, the reason being that tbe orop movement is -much smaller than the believers in lower prices have been expecting. The arrivals at the ports and interior towns to day were moder ate; the estimated receipts tomorrow at both New Orleans arwj Houston are small; the exports are large; .the spot markets are active in this country, and in England there is a growing belief that continental spinners have contracted for goods far in excess of their supplies of raw cotton. On the rise to day there was more or less liquidation for New York and New Orleans account, but the tone was more hopeful than perhaps at any time for several weeks past.

CUBAN FILIBUSTERS. Tbe Number Lianded in Cuba by tbe Horsa Kxa jtoerated An Ordr by a Cuban General Asalnst Working Cane Plantations: Washington, Noy. 20 Official informa tion received here represents that the strength of the late Cuban filibustering ex pedition which sailed from this country on the Danish steamer, Horsa, is exaggerated in the published reports. There were but forty insurgents, twenty of whom embarked in New York on the night of Saturday, the 9th inst They had attended, with others, a mass meeting in that city which sras held in the interest of the Cuban insurgents and when this adjourned the men went to the wharf where they were taken on board a tug which was awaiting tueir arrival. The utmost secrecy was kept. The tug had no nght Durning ana a sheet ot white canvass was pasted over her name. Shortly after midnight the tug dropped down the stream and carried her crew of passengers to a point off Cape Bar negat, where they were taken on board the Horsa which awaited them at that place The Horsa had carried an equal number of insurgents who had gone aboard at Phila delphia. These forty, it is claimed repre sented the full strength of the expedition. The Horsa cleared from Philadelphia for Port Antonio. Jamaica. Upon her arrival in Cuban waters she attempted to land the members of the expedition upon the eastern coast of tbe island. It was attempted to put the filibusters ashore in boats. While thus engaged, a Spanish gunboat hove in sight, whereupon the Horsa immediately s'eamed away in tbe direction of Jamaica. Upon her arrival at Kingston, the Horsa was seized by the British author ities, as reported in these dispatches. 1 The fact was developed to day that two of the leading men of tbe Horsa expedition. Francisco Carillo and Jose Maria Aguirre are naturalized American citizens They were arrested in Havana at the outbreak of the'rebellion, but were released at the re quest of the Auterican consul general, Mr Williams. They claimed at that time to have ho connection with "the rebellion, and tbeir release was granted because of their American citizenship. The following is a copy (in translation) of an order received here, believed to be au thentic, and issued from the headquarters of a portion of the insurgent forces operating partly in Santa Clara and partly in Ma tanzss : 4 'Li berating Army of Cuba Fifth Corps of tbeT-Army ; First Brigade "In accordance with orders of the Pro visional Government and to the end that no one may allege ignorance, I hereby make known to tbe sugar manufacturers, cane planters (colonos) and proprietors of this zone under mv command : "1 The buildings and cane fields of all plantations will be considered and respected, provided no work is given to any able bodied laborer, nor the operations of grinding com menced "2. When there are no fortifications, nor forces located in the same for their protec tion. ' 3. A term of ten days, to expire on the 12th instant, is hereby granted for tbe sus pension of all work, if commenced; the de struction of the fortifications which may exist and the withdrawal of troopsif any, from same. "4 Those who contravene this order will be severely punished and their buildings and cane fields reduced to ashes. Francisco J. Pxbez, v Chief of the Brigade." Headquarters of Operations, Nov. 2, '95. . Tub Surrounded by Warships. New York, Nov. 20 The double cordon of Spanish men-of war around Cuba is re ported to be in full working order and very efficie t. The testimony to this effect comes from a wholly re iable and independent source, the captain of a British steamer tr-at arrived here yesterday from the Spanish Main and the West Indies. On Thursday evening last while en route for this port, and when abont thirty miles west of Cape MavsL Cuba, be noticed a powerful search light playing in shore on tne Cuban coast. Suddenly two lights appeared, gleaming from the topmast head of a vessel in the offing, evidently a -signal to the ship in shore. Soon afterward the search light from tbe inshore ship was turned seaward, but for a time failed to reach the British steamer. However, it was repeatedly flashed towards her, and at last a streak of light fell upon the ship. After apparently satisfying themselves, those in charge of the light turned it inshore again and tbe masthead lignts in the offing disap neared. Later, as the steamer was proceed ing on her course, she passed a vessel dis playing two similar white lights from her topmast head She was then about three miles north of Cape Mavsi. Some time ago Admiral Be ringer said that as soon as he bad enough full powered men-I oi-war ne would estaoiisn a aouoie coraon, around ftaba. the ships to steam in an inner and outer circle around the Cuban litteral. Under this system, the British captain be fore mentioned, believes that filibusters will meet a warm reception. Two Victories by the Cubans. j Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 20 A cablegram to the Time Union from Key West, Fla., says: Passengers by the Oliyette to-night report that Gen Antonio Maceo. with 1.800 men, had a battle with Gen.

Y., Nov. 20. At the coroner's inquest over the bodies of Engineer Hagen, of Albany, and "Billy1 Bond, of Syracuse, who were killed in the railroad wreck here, there was no important testimony except by MissCelia Perrin, a young lady with whom Hildreth, the leader of the gang of boy-wreckers, was very friendly. She test!-, fied that Hildreth came to her house yeste s day morning and told her about how they had wrecked the train. Hildreth told her that they turned the rails that were loosened so that the train would go into the ditch. Tire coroner's jury was adjourned until thia evening. , , The four boys who are charged with com mitting the crime have all confessed, except Bristol, who refuses tct say anything. The evidence of the others, however, implicates him and mates him and Hildreth the lead ers of the gang. The boys had revolvers which they said they threw away in the woods - The boys had all been reading sensational novels. They frequented Hildreth's room at the Temperance hotel, where they played cards and had boxing bouts. About tbree weeks ago they went to Utica. There Hil dreth, who already owned a revolver, pur chased two more. The boys rode home in a box car and planned the wreck, f hey thought they would get a bo t $30,000 from the dead or dying passengers They matured their plans and not until the rails were loosened and the train was nearine tbe fatal spot did they seem to hesitate. "Then," says Hi b bard, "we were on pins and needles and wished, those rails were back in place. We stood on the nortbside of the track, all with our revolvers in our hands ready to rush in among the people. When we heard tbe crash and the cries of the peo ple we ran away through the woods. We were thoroughly scared and realized what we had done. We had not gone far before we decided to throw away our revolvers because we were afraid if they were found on us we would be suspected. Hildreth lost his bat but d.d not ston to get it; The loss of this hat was what led to the speedy arrest of the boys. The boys ,do not seem to feel any Bevere pangs of re morse There is no danerer that anv of those in jured in the wreck will die.

Then a resolution was adopted, appointing a steer ing committee to arrange for completing the work of the convention as soon as prac ticable. The article on new counties and county government was taken up and several sec tions have passed their third reading. Many amendments were proposed and voted down and thus far the article stands nich n:ed. " At the night session, the balance of the article on counties and county government was passed to its third reading Efforts were made to get some changes that would affect the formation of new counties, but, after much debate, the remaining sections of the article were adopted without change. The ordinance to fix the age of consent at 16 years was amended so as to make it read 14 years instead of 6 and then adopted. There was a big kick ' against submitting to the report of the steering committee, whih was presented to-night, providing a specified time for the considaration of every matter still outstanding, for three daily ses sions from now on ana for a final adjourn ment on Tuesday next.

Philadelphia, Nov. 20 There is no clew to the whereabouts of Daniel H. Brenizer, secretary and treasurer of the Citizens' Trust company; whose disappearance, after having embezzled $25,000 of trust securities, was announced to-day. Of the amount misappropriated the officers of the Trust company expect to recover $15 000, thus leaving an actual loss of $10,000. The ab sconding secretary and treasurer had been connected with the Citizens' Trust company since its organization, six years ago. he having first ben appointed paving teller. His' faithful service8 were recognized two years later by an increase in salary, and subsequently he was promoted to tbe posi tion of secretary and treasurer at a salary of $1,800 per annum. During his connection with tne company Brenizer was considered by his superior officers to be possessed of every virtue, and bis judgment was fre quently consulted in the matter of invest ments About a month ago he was married. He announced that out of his salary he had saved sufficient to purchase and furnish a residence in German town, a suburb of PhLU adelphia, but it is now believed that a por tion of his stealings were thus applied. Brenizer left the company's office last Thursday and since then nothing has been heard of him. Speculation in stocks is given as the cause for the peculations. He is said to have recently lost $10,000 in one deaL The stealing is supposed to have begun not oyer two months ago. The young wife of the defaulter is prostrated. More Difficulties in tbe Waller Case. Washington, Nov. 20 While the State Department refuses to furnish any informa tion regarding the matter, the impression exists here that the French Government has notified Ambassador Eustis at Paris that it will not furnish a copy of the record of the court-martial proceedings against ex-Consul Waller, as a matter of right. Wall er's counsel, Mr. Crammong Kennedy, of this city, believes, however, that the record will be furnished to Ambassador Eustis if requested as - a matter of courtesy. Waller will be . notified that the French Government will release him from custody as a matter of grace If this" Government ! will waive the question of indemnity. So far, apparently, he is in ignorance of this fact. Waller's wife strenuously insists upon a payment of damages in compensa tion for bis imprisonment, but it is not un likely that the whole matter will be re f erred to the ex-consul to decide for him self. Should he prefer to remain in prison upon the chance of obtaining indemnity the State Department and his counsel will do the best possible for him under these circumstances. A Fight Tbat.

Knowles, editor of (he Rome Tribune had a serious fight there to-night. One thing which gives it some significance is the fact that it grows Out of a correspondence which at one time promised to develop a duel between Knowles and Editor Byrd, of his comtemporarv. The Hustler attacked the Tribune and Knowles replied over his signature in a stinging card. uyra sent a let'er Dy nis menu wnqerwooa fr Knowles asking him to go outside the State and renew tbe correspondence. Knowles would not receive the lett-r. Then Underwood sent Knowles a letter and the editor would not receive this. This letter was carried by Postmaster Pepper. Tbe latter says that he did not know what it contained. To-day Pepper and Knowles met and dis cussed the affair Finally Pepper called Knowles a liar and was knocked down. A rattling fight followed, with Knowles on top of the postmaster Representative Maddox of tbe Seventh Congressional district, and otber friends of the two men attempted to break them apart, but Vincent Sanford. a friend of Knowles, stood by and swore that if was a fair fight and that it should go on to a nnisn- Tne two men were eventually sep arated and carried off to bed.

Baltimore, Nov. 20 At noon' to day Fer dinand C Latrobe, seven times Mayor of Baltimore, became a private citizen, and Mr. Hooper, tb,e first man eyer elected Mayor of Baltimore on a straight Republican ticket, took up the reins of office. The inaugura tion ceremonies were in striking contrast with those of recent years. Gen. Latrobe had been Mayor so often that his inaugura tion attracted no particular attention. All was changed to-day, and Mr Hooper was in ducted into office in the presence of a multi tude. After tbe new Mayor had taken the oath of. office and delivered his inaugural addresa.the official reception began and con tinued for some hours. . Thousands ot per sons, a majority of whom were happy Re publicans, shook the new Mayor's hand and congratulated him upon the reform ideas outlined in his inaugural address.
