for the purpose of exchanging newspa
pers; that he got 8 Richmond newspa
pers, but that as bo had only one paper
he promised to return in the afternoon
and give another; that in the afternoon
he went back to the picket line but did
not see the-Confederate officer, so tried
to call him out and was then captuiad;
that he was taken to Col. Cuwan who
said he ought not to have been captured,
but as he had seen so much of the Con
federate lines it would be proper to hold
him a few days; that he was then sent to
Oin. Holt and by him to Oen. A. P
Hill; that Holt said the Major of the 2nd
Mhsisslppi had beoo wounded for
months; that he thought Burrage waa

Washington, June 4, Captain W. D.
Smith, of the Cuban army, spent consid
erable time again to-day with the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations.
In a brief interview with a reporter of tb.
Associated Press he said:
The Cuban army is now in better con
dition to resist the Spaniards and to
maintain th fight for independence than
it has been since the beginning of the
war. General Gomez has a well-disciplined
army of about 40,000 men who are
determined to hold out until their efforts
shall be crowned with victory. Our sol
diers are rapidly procuring arms, and
every day serves to put them on a better
footing in this respect. ...
f BIB FROM DISEASE.
Our troops enjoy a vaat advantage over
the Spaniards in that they are not in
juriously affected by the climate. I may
say that I have not seen a caso of ycilpw
fever or smallpox among the Cnban sol
diers since I have been on the island, and
that I have not been sick a day myself.
Furthermore, wa have no difficulty in
feeding our troops. In tho portion of the
country in which the Cuban troops are In
control- the farmers are protected, and
we draw our supplies from this source.
Our commissary is, therefore, regularly
renewed, and our supplies are received
in quantities quite sufficient to meet all
our wants."
AUTONOMY IB KONHKMSK.
In reply to axqucstlon, Captain Smith
said:
"All the talk about autonomy and of
Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much
breath wasted. There is not a man In
the Cuban army who will agree to accept
anything short of absolute independence."
Captain Bmitb is an American. He
ha been la Cuba for a year end an
officer in General Gomez's body guard.
LatMt Haw. Item.
It is announced that the date of the
departure of Pres. Faure of France for
St. Petersburg to pay a return official
visit to the Czar has been definitely fixed
for July 25. He wl'l travel by sea and
will be accompanied by M. Hanotaux,
minister of foreign affairs.
Mount Vesuvius is In eruption. ' An

Macy & Pendleton, Bankers & Brokers
New York, in their cotton letter of June
4th p. m., say:
"Buy cotton on sharp breaks. Liver
pool stock Is 1,108,000 bales, 'of which
984,000 is American, against a stock last
year ot 1,026,000 bales, 870,000 bales
American. Sales for the week and prices
realized indicate a continued bearish sen
timent based on the forlbcomingcropand
the hesitation in making large contracts
prior to the uovcrmnent report indicates
a feeling that possibly Southern local
iutercsts havo over-influenced some of
the crop reporters. Business in the dry
goods districts is improving and from
the West there arc veryxhecring reports
of good volume and fair margins of pro
fit. While these reports are not taken to
be solely applicable to the cotton trade,
they are encouraging the opinion that
Fall River stocks will speculatively or
otherwise be reduce. It is quite-possible
that operators for the short account may
endeavor to shake out their holdings In
order that they may cover at a profit and
if any such operation ensues during the
ooming week or ten days, as resultant
from tho Bureau report, we suggest
modest purchases will likely show profits.
We would at least advise covering of
shorts or any such decline. The legisla
tion now soon to be closed at Washing
ton will also, however, probably have a
beneficial-effect upon cotton consump
tion, if not at once, certainly later on.
New Yosk, June 4th, p. m. v
Total acreage increase in the United
States is estimated at 070,000 acres, or
4.4 percent larger, than the acreage last
year, and the average planting of the
crop is some three weeks later than last
year.
The correspondents report the condi
tion of the crop less promising at this
date than for many years, Texas being
the only State where normal . conditions
have generally prevailed. In all the other
cotton states unseasonably cool weather,
poor stands and great damage from cut
worms have been the rule.
The overflow of a vast area of the most
productive cotton lands In the States of
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, ' and
Louisiana will necessarily lessen the
acreago in these .sections and planting
baa .been done under discouraging cir
cumstancesfive lo eight weeks later
than last year.
As six mouths are usuallv required to
make a cotton crop, unless almost phe
nomenally favorable weather occurs
henceforth, a good crop in the Missis
sippi valley will be impossible.
