AFFAIR* IN CUBA. The Merchant* of the laland ArottOOd Against the United Rtatea. A special from Havana says: All the tn> rchnnt* of Clcnfuego* have agreed to cancel the orders given to their oorrespendents in the United states, as a prates! against the action ,of the American Congress on the Cuban question. The merchants talked of holding a demonstration, but Captain General Weyler prohibited it. The chamber of commerce here met to consider the question of taking similar action... Gen. Weyleradvised the chamber to be prudent. There is talk of stopping the exportation of tobacco in bales ami to permit the export of only the manufactured product. General Weyler has placed restrictions on the sale of petroleum and has prohibited it* sale in the interior town* which the insurgent* visit. The following towns in the province of Pinar Del Rio have been recently burned by the rebels: Cabanas. Bahia, Honda, san Diego lie Nunez Santa Cruz De Los Banes, ban Jany Martinet, and Quiebra Hacha. Tlie gunboat Llnoe, which wa* carrying rations to Jlbro, on the south coast of Camaguay. found chains acros* the entrance of the harbor. The vessel was fir upon by rebels and replied with her guu -. The volunteers at Gibracoa surrendered the fort there to the rebels. The insurgents took all their arms and then released the men. BRISK FIGHTING Between Soldier* and Mob* on the Street* of Milan. Rome special: There has been more rioting at Milan. Store windows were shattered with stones and infantry soldiers while trying to disperse the mob stoned. Finally two squadrons of cavalry were ordered to charge the rioters and rode into the mob with drawn swords, pricking the nwt aggressive of the mob leaders with the point* of their weapons or hitting them with the fiat of their sabre*. The mob replied with showers ol j stones and shots from revolvers. During i the encounter twelve soldiers and sixteen i rioters were wounded. Train service to and from Milan has been I suspended, as the mobs atta< k all trains i attempting to leave ?r enter that city. The i agitation is due to the fierce opposition of ! Uie populace to the departure of the troops . relieved by the calling out of the reserves ; of the class of lN7i crowds ar#constantly assembled in front of racks of the troops, shouting to the latter, i “Do not goto Africa!" Ac. One detachment cf troopa which was on its way to the coast for shipment to Massowah was entrained ’ at a suburb of Milan, that being the only I manner in which it was possible to get the 1 yn away and avoid the mobs. PEOPLE RISE L'P. Butchery of Italians in Abyssinnia Worse Than Reported. Rome special: Dispatches place the number of Italians killed at the battle ] of Andowa and m the long and harrassing retreat which followed, at S.AM) men. It is believed that not even these figures tell the 1 full extent of the disaster. There is no I mention made of the wounded, and there is good reason, based on the stories of . recent Italian defeats by Abyssinnians, to i believe that the wounded met a more | horrible fate than those who were killed : on the spot. The garrison was under arms all Thursday nighh and mounted patrols traversed the principal street*. The streets were 1 filled with people all night. Until after early raorning every public place was crowded by excited men and women. A lumber of disturbances, calling for police j nterference. occurred. Indications are that the people are assuming a most i threatening attitude, not only in Rome, j but throughout the kingdom. STATE OF TRADE. Speculation Affected By the Cnban Resolutions in Congress. D. G. Dun A Co., in their Weekly Re- I view of Trade, says: The Cuban resolutions and the appointment of receivers for the Baltimore i Ohio J were eveata of sufficient importance to affect aimost any genuine market, rspec- ! tally for securities. It therefore argues . either remarkable strength of conditions ' or an entire want of life and genuineness | in the market that the prices of the sixty ' mo?t active railroad stocks which aver- . aged $49 74 per share February 1. Nave \ never fallen lower than nor risen ! above 15).*5 per share. The market is i largely under the control of operators who cannot afford to see it decline much, but it is also true that the vote on Cuba and the rece.vership had both been discounted. The strength of the market is largely due to more satisfactory reports of railway earnings. MORE AIULOGIEA. The Governor of Vallencia. Spain, on Hi* Kneea to Our Consul. Madrid special: Cadiz is being worked to his full capacity in the manufacture of guns, cartridges for artillery, etc., and the greatest activity prevails. Meetings were held at Calladoild.

Sullivan that hi* days on this terrestlal sphere are numbered unless he alters his present manaer of living.

AGAIN snow HATRED SPANIARDS STONE ANOTHER AMERICAN CONSULATE. United State* Conaulatc in Valencia Attacked by a Furlou* Mob and Window* bmuahed-Princeton Student* Burn the King in llfllgy. Mob's Work at Valencia. Spanish hatred of the United State* continue* to break forth afresh. Renewed ■ demonstration* were made Thur»d«y and a mob etoneil the Unit,*! State* consulate j at ValenHa, In spite of the precaution* of | the authorities and the alertne** of the i police. When the mob formed, it* objective point was the consulate and extra preparation* were made to guard againet ■ an attack. But almost before the police I were aware of it a flank movement had j been executed and the howling, yelling j horde had gathered in the street. Stone* were thrown which «ma*hed the window* lof the consulate. The police made a I strong charge and diapereed the crowd, i The university ha* been closed under orders from the Government, a* it wa* feari ed the meeting* of the student* would be a hotbed for breeding disorder*. Repeated attempt* were made by disorderly paraders to make their way to the I' ited State* <*>n«ulate. but they were a* ■ often frustrated, as the authorities had received special orders to be on the lookout for any demonstration against the property of the United States. Special protection wa* afforded the building in which the office of the consul is located, with a view to the same end. The mob, however, gathered in front of the building before the police were aware of what was going on. and stones began to fly from the crowd, with the result that many window* were broken. The crowd wa* cheered on by sympathisers in the streets and from the neighboring bouses. The jwllce lost no time in charging the rioter* and the mob was speedily dispersed, although missile* were flung as those who threw them were taking flight. ITALY'S DAY OF WOE. Whole Country la Aroused by the Overwhelming Defeat in Abyssinia. The news of terrible defeat to it* army in Abyssinia has set all Italy wild with cxcittment. Premier Crisp ha* tendered his resignation, wh.ch ha* been accepted by the king, and it is announced that the O.amber of D-;>ut:es will be asked to im-p-w-h Crispi and the other member* of his cabinet for groo* mismanagement of the Abyssinian campaign. Indignation meeting* have been held and riotous demonstrations made in most of the cities, and from the rural districts loud eric* are sent np for vengeance upon those who have been responsible for this almost annihilating defeat. Indignation against the Government is increased by the calling out of 80.000 men of the reserves of 1872 for active service. As the great majority of these men are married and have familiea ■.'... ■ KISr, ni'MDEIIT OF FTAX-T. depending up.n them for support, their preparation* to obey order* in Milan and other plare* were the signal for rioting, the agitation being led by the women and children, and in s u-.e instance* the men j were prevented from leaving thg towns. The mob* stoned and otherwise beat the police into helplessness and even attacked the soldiers, numerous perw-n* throwing ' th.-mse-.re* in mad frenzy upon the naked j •teel in the hand* of the troop*. These dem>>n*trarion* ought have been 1 expected from the excitable Italian people when the sad truth burst upon them that through bad manag.raient at home and poor generalship at Adow« the army in Abyssinia bad been entrapped to its destruction. with a loss of five to ten thousand in killed and wounded and of al! the animtinition and food store*, leaving the survivors in a hapless plight.

The Hebrews who came here were not fitted for the rugged life, especially in winter, and the wonder is that any of them survived one eold season The set tiers could not learn how to farm. Most of them had come from cities and had made a precarious living by plying their needle*, and it wa* natural that they should turn again to rewing after their other venture had proved a failure.

SPAIN S NAVY? Uncle ***i Haa No Need to Fear Any thing from It. The action of • ongrree on the Cuban rew <4utzun. makes it of interest to kuow just how strong a nary the peninsular power ha* at her disposal. Spain’* nary contain* one old battlevtitp. launched in 1887. or nearly nine year* ago. before Harveyized armor had revolutionized the art of protecung men of war. This is the Pelayo. She ha* a displacement of ’JJMJO toe*, a speed of knot* an hour and carries two gun*, two 11-inch guns and IV smaller pisens. Spain also ha* ten first-class, six ond-cia** aud forty-nine tbinl-dass cruiser*. In torpedo tests *fce ba* forty. On the whole our nary has absolutely nothing to fear from that of Spain, for here is what we have to ret against it: We have no less than rix first-cia** ve»rels. each of them Ix-tter than the Pelayo, each with a greater horre poorer and *peed equal to here. Each of them. too. i* better armed. We have seven firet-cla**. thirteen sec-ond-class and twenty-one third-class cruiser*.
