DISASTER SEEMS CERTAIN The Latest News from Cuba and the. Philippines Very Discouraging—A Ling- ering nope That Cervera. May Escape i—The Madrid Prnnn sun Talks of “No Surrender”—Sanntn Will Soon Close the Sitting of the Cortes. Madrid, June flit—There is consterna- tion in official circles owing to the latest news from Manila and Santiago. Pre- mier Sagasta knows positively that General Augusti is only holding out in Manila. to satisfy military honor and until Dewey receives reinforcements, which are expected to furnish an hon- orable pretext for surrender. The Am- ericans are avoiding a final victory with the aid of the natives, which might lead .to complications with Ger- many and other powers, Who are reluc- tant to allow Spanish rule in the Phil- ippines to suffer. This in consequence is likely to make a restoration thereof almost impossible at the close of the struggle. Santiago now preoccupies the govern-. ment even more than the Philippines. The navaiauthorities still [have a lin- gering hope that Admiral Cervera may attempt to dash out at night with his cruisers and destroyers, sacrificing some vessels in order to save the rest of the fleet from inevitable disaster. Linar’es Has Little Hope. In a. telegram General Linares very frankly told the minister of war he would do his best, but lacked flour, meat and wine, though there is enough of other provisions to hold out many weeks, but had only 8,000 regular sol- diers and a few thousand volunteers to man the fortifications of the bay of Santiago and .to oppose the landing of the Americans. He adds that he must call 'the attention of the govern- ment to the fact that he could not ex- pect reinforcements, as the Spanish forces had their hands quite full in the rest of the island. Now fever and the other diseases pre- valent every rainy season are raging in Santiago and Guantanamo, but on the whole the health of the Spanish troops is better this year than the' two last years. The Question of sending provis- ions and war stozes to both islands preoccupies the home authorities, al- though it is officially stated that many mail steamers and sailing vessels are constantly running the blockade, and the majority of the people of Spain apprehend the early arrival of unfa- nila. Disaster is Looked for. “No surrender,” however, is still the tone of the press of Madrid, which says we will go on, even if we lose all our fleets and Colonies, to see if then Eu- rope will still persist in its indiffer- enc‘e. Sagasta is fast hurrying to a close the sittings of the Cortes, so as to be master of the situation. With the help of the army, the state of siege will be supplemented by a royal decree sus- pending the constitutional guarantees next Smday. . Senor Castelar, in his summer retreat near Alicante, says that the chapter of surprises for Spain will close with the fall of Manila and Santiago. HAWAIIAN VOTE WEDNESDAY. Hoped in Senate to Secure This—Morgan to Bring Up Nicaragua Canal Hill. Washington, June 25.——Even the op- ponents of the resolutions to annex Hawaii are beginning to confess that annexation will take place before ad- journment of Congress. Senator Mal- lory of Florida, and Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin, both strongly Opposed to annexation, are quoted as saying that a. vote cannot be prevented. A number of senators have speeches prepared which they want to get in the Record and as long as the speeches are not made for filibustering purposes the desires of the senators will be grat- ified, unless the weather gets too hot, in which case leave to print will be granted. ' It is said that an attempt will be. made to reach a. vote on Wednesday next, and that the adjournment of Congress may be reached before July first. _ ’ Senator Morgan of Alabama expres- sed the opinion yesterday morning that the Hawaiian resolutions would be passed early next week, and he signi- fied his intention to immediately there- after endeavor to secure consideration for the Nicaragua canal bill, which he thought might be got through the sen- ate before adjournment. Bumngton ’s New Invention. Dover, N. J., June 25.-~Colonel A. R. Buffington, inventor of the disappearing gun now used by the gOVernment, is working day and night at the United States reservation in Dover, N. J., on a new invention which, it is thought, will be even more important than the one which has made him famous. Just what the invention. is Colonel Buffing- ton will not say. In fact he did not. wish it to become public that he was engaged on such important work. It is quite certain, though, that the in- ven-tion will be in general use before the present war is over. It is the development of an idea that came to Colonel Btr’dngton in 1873, at about the time that he advised the use of a disappearing gun. There was ev- ery prospect of war with Spain when he adVUcated the use of the gun car- riage, which has prcn on of inestimable value. - Only a Half Hour Apa. t.

The War Ens Not Aflooted Business to- Any Gr’ont Extent-Heavy Grnin Exports. ’New York,_June 26.—Very little of the new business seen, in proportion to the aggregate, has been caused by the war. Not any, discoverably by ordin- ary tests, has been prevented by war. No comparison is possible with the prostrat-ion and suffering in Spanish and mining districts. In two months this country has practically destroyed two Spanish fleets, and landed two ar- mies at Manila and Santiago, with no considerable loss. It: has gained be- yond calculation in relative importance among other'nations by reason of its quickly exerted power. Neither has the collapse of the wheat speculation caused the expected decrease of ship- ments, for exports continue remarka- bly large. , Gold comes or does not come as we want it, the world’s mar- kets being evidently at our command. An offering of bonds by‘the govern- ment brings out at the start bids for more than three times the amount of- fered, while the popular subscription already for three-quarters of the am-- ount exhibits in strong light the confi- dence of the people. Wheat ceased to fall and begins to rise in price because foreign neds are not yet satisfied. Atlantic experts for the week were, flour included, 3,246,205 bushels, against 1,445,947 last year, and Pacific exports 517,153, against 87,089 last year, and the demand is not of a speculative character. The world’s need of grain is greater than ever, and 213,821,567 bushels of wheat and 207,- 317,483 bushels of corn have gone al- ready abroad, with a. week [to spare, for more than was ever before exported in one year. ‘ Railroad earnings during the first .half of June have been 7.1 per cent. larger than last year, and 8 per cent. larger than in 1892, while Chicago east bound tonnage for three weks has been 14.9 per cent. larger than last year and 52 per cent larger than in 1892. Stocks declined less than half a cent, but have fully recovered the loss, and are now $9.58 per share high-er than a year ago, and $10.86 per share higher than two years ago, in spite of loss since the war began. - when stoppages are to be expected, maintain production surprisingly. The iron in- dustry is very dull at the East, with complaint that prices do not rise, but at Pittsburg and the West the works are getting'more business constantly, and are even competing so sharply that prices are slightly lower for. bars, cut nails, steel rails and Grey Forge, while southern iron is also offered lower there and at the East. Minor metals are fair- ly steady, with tin at 15.2 cents. Lake copper at 11.75, with 22,741 tons pro- duced in :the United States, and 6,486 abroad in May, and lead is stronger at 3.95 cents, with only. moderate trans- actions. ' . " Shipments of bootsand shoes have been 1.1 per cent. smaller in June than in 1892, and smaller than in some other years, but previous deliveries hadex- ceeded those of any other year and had largely «supplied the market. ,Yet de- mands are now coming from all quar- ters for anticipation of sales for July and later months, especially in boots, in. heavy shoes, brogans and in wom- en’s light shoes, showing a. greater dis- tribution than had been expected. Lea— ther is still bought only to meete imme- diate needs, and not now largely, with- out change of price during the past week. Hides. at Chicago have turned a shade weaker, declining nearly 1 per cent. Wool,is stronger a shade, 100 quotations by Coates Brothers aver- aging 18.72 cents ag-ainst 18.64 June lst, but because of western demands, which relatively 4 cents above prices which manufacturers will pay, except- ing to fill immediate orders. Cotton has weakened three-sixteenths, with excel- lent crop prospects, but a larger de- mand for goods is seen, though not as yet enough, to cans; any advance in prices. Reports of distribution are generally encouraging. Failures for the week have been 295 in the United States, agains: 216 last year, and 11 in Canada against 24 last year. The Vesuvius a Success. Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 25.—Op- erations at Santiago have developed the success of the dynamite cruiser Ve- suvius. All doubts about the ecacy of her guns have been settled by the bril- liant work of the last few nights. As the identity of the Vesuvius is well known to the enemv, during the day she holds a position on one side screen- by and under cover of the flagship. The three big gun tubes rising diagonally from her deck are covered by a square black canvas. ' At night she slips down through the fleet to within a few hundred yards of Morro battery, fires a few shells and then quietly withdraws without the enemy having found her location. This operation has been repeated for five nights. She fires three shells on each trip. There is no flash, no smoke or noise emitted from those three terri- ble engines of destruction, and the first intimation the Spaniards have of dan- ger is the terrific explosion of two hundred and fifty pounds of dynamite dangerously close. Transports Secured. Washington, June 25.—T'he war de- partment has solved the transport problem. \Villiam ”rteckman of Detroit, in the capacity of a. personal represent- ative of Secretary Alger, has succeed- ed in contracting for the purchase of a number of transatlantic steamships, the acquisition of ”which will give the army all of the vessels needed. The names of the vessels cannot be obtained at this time, but may be made public to-day. . Neither Asked Nor Granted. Washington, June 25.—-T'he Associated Press is able tostate on authority that permission to land marines or troops at Manila has not been sought by the German ambassador here of the state department, nor has any, such permig- sion been granted. In fact, there have been no overtures exchanged on the subject.

MILES GOING TO CUBA. Bin Departure Not to Be.,Hnrried How- ever“ I h ' Washington, June 25,—General Miles, in command of the army. willgo to Cuba, accompanied by his staff, and direct the military operations in the field. _The doubt 'as to the gsneral’s movements was cleared up yesterday, and the definite statement made that he would go to Cuba. He will not leave this week, however, as has been suggested, nor is itset'tled just when he goes. There is thought -,to be no start, as General Miles has the fullest confidence in General Shaffer, who is conducting the advance on Santiago, and this confidence is shared by the president and secretary of war. For that reason General Miles’s move will not be for the purpose of assuming the direction of the assault upon San- tiago, as that movement is likely to be well advanced, if not entirely executed, by the time he leaves. There are other important military movements requiring attention here, 'including‘the preparations for further expeditions which will go by way' of Newport News and Tampa, Fla. Tam- pa is again to be made the rendezvous for a large force and-the department is securing complete details with a view to centering another large fleet of transports there. With the troops moving to these points and the expe- ditions Well advaneed, General Miles will then be free 2to Join the army in the field. Personally, he is most desirous of being with the. troops, for, as he says -to his friends, he has'been with the men for thirty years, and his spirit is with them now. although circum- stances necessitate his remaining here for a. time. There is a possibility that he may go with General Henry’s di— vision when the Harvard and Yale make their second trip from Newport News, but this is quite doubtful. GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL. A Slight Reduction Made by the Senate Committee. ' Washington, June 25.-—The Senate committee on appropriations has made a report on the general deficiency ap- propriation bill. The committee re- duced the appropriations made by the bill ‘to the extent of $130,000 and increas- ed it by the addition of $2,072,607, ad- ding a net increase of $1,942,607, and bringing the total appropriation up to $226,140,246. The principal item, offlre- duction $850,000 on account of the Canadian commission, the House pro- vision on this subject being stricken out." Of the increase made $712,053 is on account of the war department, $120,774 on account of the navy department, $179,990 on account of .the treasury de- partment and $250,428 on account of the District of Columbia. Three hun- dred and twent‘fithree 'thousand four hundred and forty-six dollars goes to pay judgmentsof the court of claims, and $224,885 'to pay Indian depredation claims. Provision is made for the im-‘ provement of the channel of Elizabeth river at Hampton ~sic-ads, Va., at a cost of $360,000. Of the increase in the ap— propriation made on account of the war department $87,900 is for the increase of‘clerks. $100,050 is for contingencies, and $150,000 for the purchase of medi~ cal' and hospital supplies. ARMY BILLS PASSED. 1 Provision for the Appointment of Quar- termaster and Commissary Officers. Washington, June 25,—In the Senate yesterday a. bill to increase the effi- ciency of the quartermaster’s depart- ment of the army, and authorizing the secretary of war to make such distri- bution of the force. of his department as he may deem expedient, was passed. The bill provides for the appointment of twenty assistant"quartermasters in the volunteer army, with the rank of captain. . A bill to increase the efiiciency of the subsistence department of the army and making provision for the appoint— ment of twenty assistant commissaries of-subsistence with rank of captain was reported from the military affairs committee and was also passed. The bill relative to the engineer corps of the army, recently reported, was cal- led up and passed. - Death of s. v, ’n. Cruger. Bayville, L. 1., June 25.—C-01. Stephen Van Rensselaer Cruger of New York died at his summer residence in this place last night. He had been afflicted with Bright’s disease. for about eight years, which was the indirect cause of his death. Mr. Cruger was taken seriously ill Wednesday evening.
