The news of Russia’s apparent

rious decline in quotations, it
was difficult to to obtainjprices
at which bargains could be ef

The Times, in an editorial ar-

the fact that negotiations are
practically at an end, and that
the two belligerents face

their acts. Another twenty-

■—The report sent out by the
Spanish authorities that the
Cuban rebellion was like ly to
die out of sheer inanitiou does
not tally with the late reports,
which tell us that the Cubans,
who for eight years have revolt-
ed, are stronger than ever.
Spain has spent $600,000,000 in
the attempt to neck;yoke Cuba,
but in vain. A new Minister,
with discretionary powers, has
been appointed; Out there is no
hope that he will accomplish
more than others who have pri *
ceded him. Cuba is defiant, and
will beto the last. Recent events
