THE STOCK MARKETS.

The past week has witnessed con-
siderable furry in the stock markets.
The English apparently in a spirit
of spite have been rushing Ameri-
can securities on the market, and
selling them at any sacrifice. This
course gave the stock. gamblers their
opportunity, but instead of shaving
outsiders they had to confine that op-
Grafton to each other. Our securities
have not deprecated in actual value
one penny, and people who own
good securities may rest assured
that they are worth just as much
now as before the war talk. The
English have simply been foolish,
and it will not be long before they
will be buying back at an advance
the same stocks they were so eager
to sell.
1t is safe for people just now to
keep out of Wall street, unless they
have money to buy good stocks and
pay for them outright.
In that case now is a good time,
but do not buy ON margins.

ADVANCING ON HAvANA.


The insurgents Reported 20 BE In Post
tion SO Attack tho Capital.
HAvAEA, Dec e6.--A feeling very like
dismay prevails in this city and there Is
apprehension, daily gaining ground, that
Havana viii be hcsioggd by Gomez troops
within the next % hours
Tho startling news was received here
from Mutnnzas Tint General Maxine
Gomez, at the hoad ol am insurgeut army
flid TO number about 1000 men OF all
rrms fairly woil supplied with artillery,
had hya fcint turned he flank OF Captain
Gcneal Muliuez de Camros who at Co
lurvas I'm personal command 0f the span
jsh forces, attempting TO stop tho advance
of the encmy upon Havana and was -5ell
~ the westward of Colon and threatening
t1 pass Matan2n5 TO the southwnrd and
strike directly at Havana
The receipt of this startling news caused
tho rreatest exoitcment here both i'm OIL
cill ana in unofficial circles ana although
every effort was made TO supprcss tho
alarming Information the news leaked
out, and before long crowds assembled
hero and there In front Of and in the cafes
and at street corners or on the public
squares eagerly discussing the approach
of the insurpent army upon Havana.
A rumor was circulated In great detail
that General Campos i'm person, at the
head Of tho Spanish forces, had succeeded
i'm coming face to face with Gomez and
his forces at the plantation of Coiseo
whore, it was reported, an engagement
had taken place, and that Gomez had been
repusod and the Insurgents sent flying
E1ok toward Santa Clara This report had
ino eilrut of greatly restoring confidence
here, and 81 was generally believed for q
| time chat it indicated that Gomez had
| given mp his campaign for lack of support
| in Matanzas.
The details Of this engagement had
| hardly become disseminated through the
| city, however, before there came q further
/ report that the insurgents were marching
/ townrd Guanabano ana that Captain Gen
| oral Campos had hastonOd to that point
| TO oppose tho advance thus once more
moving his headquarters westward and
| ncarer Havana, as he has had TO do So
/ often within tho last few days Instead OF
| being checked, the insurgents arc pr0cti-
! cally uninterrupted in thoir march toward
| Havana, and are now within 30 miles OF
the city.
Word has been received that the insur.
/ gent forces are marching toward Guiana.
| bana which is only about five miles dis
| tnnt from Matanzns, and that General
! Camp0s has arrived nc Guanabaua to op
| pose the insurgent forces.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25-The naval ord
nance bureau expects to test at the Indian
Head proving grounds in the course of a
few days another lot of armor plate made
by the Carnegie company for the 8 inch
turrets Of the battleship Iowa. A special
board which has been making a very
careful examination Of the matter has
recommended the abandonment Of the
large rubber washers which are now plao.
ed under armor plates and the substitu-
tion Of thinner lead washers. 1t has been
found that the rubber washers, which are
universally used for this purpose, deteri-
crate rapidly and soon lose all Of their
original elasticity
