The Latest News from Cuba and the

Philipplnce Very Discouruglng—A Ling-
ering Hope That Cervera May Escape

_The Madrid Press sun-Talks of “No .
Surrender”—Sagasta Will Soon Close
the Slttlng of the Cortes.

Madrid, June 25.—There is consterna-
tion in official circles owing to the latest l
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 naval authorities 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.

Linares Hus 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'h-ad 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 stems to both islands
preoccuples 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-
ence.

Sagast'a 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-’athe constitutional guarantees
next Sunday.

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 Bill.

Washington, June 25.—Even the op-

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
gran-ted.
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 mbrning 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 adjOu'l'il'flent.

Bufllngton‘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-
vention will be in general use before
the present war is over.

It is the development of an idea. that
came .to Colonel Burlington 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 advocated fine use of the gun car-
riage, which has prcn on of inestimable
”value.

Only a Half Hour Apart.

Washington, D. C., .June 25.—Admi~
ral Sampson is now in constant and.
practically immediate cable communi-
cation with the navy department. Six
dispatches were received in rapid sue-
cessi'on through the early hours. of yes
terday morning, the last one bringing
the situation up to twelve o’clock. on
Thursday night.

They showed that only a half hour
elapsed between the filing of the mes-
sageby the admiral and the receipt, of
it inWas‘hingtt'o'n, so that the authori~
ties hereare ’now‘assured of being only
half an hour behind the actual devel-
opments at thwneof action. I

 

DUN’S WEEKLY REPORT.
The War ,Has Not Afi‘ected’ Business ts
Any GrelatIExtent—Heavy Grain Exports.
NewYork, June 25.——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
prostrationl-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 balculation 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.
come as we want it, the world’s mar-
kets being evidently at our comm-and.
An offering of- bonds by the gove‘m-
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 lightthe confi-
dence of the people.

Wheat ceased to fall and_ begins to
rise in price because foreign nedsare
not yet satisfied. Atlantic exports 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 wheaJt-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 higher than a year ago,
and $10.86 per share higher than two
years ago, in spite of loss since the war
began. '

The industries, at the season 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 Pi'ttsburg and the West the works
are getting more business constantly,
and are even competing so sharply that
prices are'lslightly lower for bars, cut
nails, steel rails and Grey Forge, while
southern iron is also offeredlower 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 boots and shoes have
been 1.1 percent. smaller in June than
in 1892, and smaller than in some other
years, but previous deliveries had ex-
ceeded those of any other year and had
largely supplied the market. Yet de-
mands are now coming from all quar-
ters foranticipation 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-
tributlon than had been expected. Lea-
ther is still bought only to meete imme-
diate needs,'_ and: notlnow 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 Coaites Brothers aver-
aging 18.72 cents against 18.64 June 1st,
but because of western demands, which
are 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-’
m-and for geods is seen, though not as
yet enough to cause any advance in
prices. Reports .of distribution are
generally encouraging.

Failures for the week have been 235
in the United States, against 216 last
year, and 11 in Canada against 24 last
year.

The Vesuvius a Success.

Port Antoni-o, 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 screep-
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 noflash, 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‘dyn-amite
dangerously close.

. Transports Secured.

Washington, June 25.—-The war de—
partment has solved the transport
problem.. William 'i'ieckman of Detroit,
in the capacity of a personal represent-
ativeof Secretary Alger, has succeed-
ed in contracting for the purchase of
a number of transatlantic steamships,
the acquisition of which will give the

.arm'y all of the vessels needed.

The names of the vessels cannot be
obtained at this time, but may be made
public to-duay.

Neither Asked. Nor Granted.

Washington, June 25.——The Associated
Press is able to state on authority that
permission to land marines or troops
'at Manila. has not been sought bylthe
German ambassador here of the state
department, nor has any such permis-
sion been granted. In fact, there have
been no overtures exchanged on the
subject.

Hobson and Men Safe.
Washington'June 25.—T'he navy de-
partment has received the following
cablegram: ..

“Pl-aye. del Este, June 24.—-From a
flag of truce I learned to-day that Lt.
Ho'bson and his companions are all
well. .They are confined in the city'ol

- .,""ever. . '
Washington, June 25.—General.Miles,
in command of the army, will go to
Cuba, accompanied by his staff, and
direct the military operations. in the
field. "The doubt 'a's‘to the general’s
movements was cleared up yesterday,
and the definite statement made that-
he Would-go to Cuba. He will no:
leave this week, however, as has been
suggested, "nor is it settled just when
he goes. There is thought to be no
start, as General Miles has the fullest
confidence in General Shatter. 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 ’Sa'n-
t-lago, as that movement 'is‘llkel’y to be
well advanced, if not entirely exeCute'd,
by the time he leaves. " ’5' ” ‘

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. T-am-
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 advanced, General Miles
will then be free to Join the army in
the field. '

Personally, the 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.

caped One of Them.

The victims of hay lever and rose
colds need no description cf their
cases, and no person unacquainted with
the malady can form any conception of
what its victims suifer. During its
attacks, which occur at seasons of the
year when the sections where it is
prevalent are in all other respects the
“most attractive, the lining membranes
of all the air passages of the upper and
middle parts of the face are terribly
and painfully inflamed; they become

thickened, and of an angry red color,

while the veins are swollen and

., throbbing.

These two maladies, Hay Fever and
Rose Gold, are exactly similar in all
their symptoms; they diil'er only in the
season of their attack, the Rose Cold
prevailin earlier in the summer.
Being pat ologically similar, if one is
relieved by a. certain treatment, the
same treatment is more than likely to
relieve the other also. No ills to
which the human flesh is heir are
more fickle in their individual cases;
for there are thousands of remedies
that will help one or two cases, and dis-
appoint every other. But there is one
treatment that we venture to assert
will give more relief to the greater
number of cases than all the“ other so-‘

.called remedies combined. OI this we

are prepared to submit. as proof the
testimony of people who have tried it.
Note this case :

Mrs. George W. Spink, 227 Friend-
ship St., Providence, says: “Every
year I have been troubled with the
most disagreeable colds in my‘ head
during June, and I could seem to get
no relief until the rose season was
over. This year I obtained a bottle of
California. Catarrh Cure at Hall &
Lyon’s, and when I felt the Rose Gold
coming on, I began to use it. * It gave
me relief at once, entirely removing
all traces of the Rose Gold, and I have
not been as free from this trouble for
years, as I have been this season from
using California Catarrh Cure.”

Remember you-are more likely to
get relief from Hay Fever by using
California Catarrh Cure than by any
other means. It- is sold at all drug
stores; 50 cents; three times as much $1.
