Spain Will Send More Troops. .-LONDON, Oct. 19.—The Standard's
Madrid correspondent says that the government is preparing to send a strong fleet to Cuba directly any American government recognizes the Cubans as belligerents. "It is believed, however," the correspondent continues, "that the attitude of the United States and of the principal Spanish American republics will entirely depend upon the duration and progress of the struggle. The government will make the greatest efforts to strike a decisive blew before the next rainy season. "Senor Castelar, in an eloquent article in El Liberal, reminds the tJnited States how bitterly American statesmen resented European sympathy and interference in the war of secession."
ARMENIAN REFORMS.
British Treeps Ready to Land if Reforms Are Not .Executed. LONDON, Oct. 19.—The Constantino
ple correspondent of The Standard says: "The Armenian reforms are not, properly speaking, the granting of fresh privileges so much as recapitulating and providing for the regular administration of already existing codes, affecting the well being of Moslems as well as Christians. The Armenians consider that the concessions are illusory and Turkish officials admit that- they were wrung from the porte under violent pressure. "The Turks are mostly furious and many competent observers no not hesitate to predict a crisis leading to revolt and bloodshed, compared with which the Armenian troubles would be iusigficant. I am convinced, however, that the sultan would employ his troops to repress any Moslem movement with the utmost severity."
To Disgrace Armenian People. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 19.—Sir Philip
Currie, the British ambassador, has received from an Armenian source a warning that the young Turkey party will probably induce some Armenian miscreant to attempt his life in order to disgrace the Armenian people.

spondent of The Chronicle says that he has been assured in official circles that England intends to land troops in some part of the Turkish territory if the Armenian reforms are not honorably executed.

REVIEW
iWliilR
OF TRitB.
R. G. Dun & Company's Weekly Business Report.
OUTLOOK VERY ENCOURAGING.
Hopes Held Out That, the Future Demand Will Be More
T"nrly
Proportioned to
Actnal Consumption—Coiner in Cotton. No Advance in Wheat—Lull in Iron. Failures of the Week. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade says: The events of the week are promising in nature, though to speculative markets not entirely encouraging. The great advance in cotton had arrested oxports and so deranged exchanges that shipments of gold was for a time apprehended, but the break in the market indicates that the natural movement of the product may soon be restored. The halting of demand and moderate yielding of prices in the great industrial markets show that a season of reasonable attention to natural conditions has arrived, and gives hope that the future demand will be more nearly proportioned to actual consumption.
The cotton market has been partly cornered for early delivery by a New Orleans operator, and his followers, as it has been twice in not distant years by Liverpool speculators, who ended in a failure. The estimate of Mr. Neill, who has been conspicuously correct in judging recent crops, indicate a yield of 6,8000,000 bales, where most specutors had expected much less, and led many to realize the meaning of 3,000,000 bales brought over from last year. The actual receipts thus far, only 17 per cent less than last year from a crop of 9,900,000 bides, fail to support low estimates, ana spinners here and abroad with much unanimity refrain from buying largely at current questions. Until the price recedes far enough to bring out a liberal supply of cotton bills there will be a possibility of gold exports, for other merchandise exports are small from New York, for two weeks 10 per cent less than last year, with imports in the two weeks of October 29 per cent larger than last year. In Septmber dutiablee imports were 54.2, and for nine months 53.8 per cent larger than last year.
Wheat does no* go out freely and the attempt to advance prices on Monday was followed by an immediate decline. The Atlantic exports, flour included, have been in the past three weeks, 4,558,455 bushels, against 'V,248,111 last year, and the bisr shipments from Russia and of late frop Argentina show that the world is not'yet obliged to pay Atlantic prices for American wheat. Western receipts for the week were remarkably large, 7,733,000 bushels, and for three weeks 21,638,977, against 14,017,261 last year. The rush of wheat to market and the largest output of flour ever known at Minneapolis are not evidences of a great shortage in yield, but the price has changed only an eighth for the week.
Corn is stronger without clear reason, for while exports in three weeks are 3,326,284 bushels, against 236,703 last year, they can at best dispose of only an insignificant fraction of the great yield.
The iron industry is still fully engaged on old orders, but new business is so scanty that many of the works are seeking it at some concessions in price, and only large contracts have been made at $1.75 to $1.80 for bridge plates quoted at 1.9 to 2 cents. Quotations are not lower, though a good order commands some discount. Billets sell at $21 and rod at $28 at Pittsburg, want of business in wire and wire nail continuing. Mills have to compete in pig iron and other products with speculators who took large quantities on advancing prices, and actual consumption will not be fairly measured until the effects of the speculation are out of the way.
Textile manufacturers have strong markets for materials to support them. But scarcely any advance is seen this week in cotton goods, though the rise for the month has averaged 4.1 per cent, and there seems such a halt as appeared a month ago in iron products. The price of some worsteds has been advanced, because advanced abroad, but it is as questionable as ever how far the market can be held by domestic makers, and woolen manufacturers have to face not only foreign competition but an especial tendency of popular demand toward worsted fabrics. Sales of wool, 21,209,700 pounds, at the three chief markets, against 13,702,800 in 1893, greatly exceed actual consumption.
Failures for the week have been 263 in the United States, against 253 last year, and 46 in Canada, against 43 last year
FIRE IN A MINE.
Oue Man's Mistake Causes the Death of Four Others. FRANKLIN, Wash., Oct. 19. Fire broke out in the main hoisting slope of the Oregon Improvement company's mine, causing the death of John H. Glover, S. W. Smalley, John Adams and James Stafford. The accident was caused by August Johnsou, who dropped his lamp, setting fire to a feeder ot gas. Instead of throwing a shovel of dirt to put it out, he ran down tlie slope to get the uit foreman.
While ho was bringing help the timbers caught lire and five lengths of brattice work were ablaze and the smoke became so dense as to prevsnt getting at it. Find^ig that tho fire could not be extinguished the four men named volunteered to go down and close a door between tne main and auxiliary slope. They are supposed to have never reached the bottom alive, but the bodies have not yet been recovered.
