MORE BONDS LIKELY.
The Oldest Financiers Can See No Wa
Out Of IL.


NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Wall street is
uneasy. Another bond issue seems newt
able. The Oldest financiers can see no
way out Of it IL the 500, 0OO 600 gold re-
serve limit is to be maintained The re-
sumption Of the expectation of the stand
ard metal is growing alarmingly IN vol
ume, and the legal life of the bond syndi-
cate is ebbing fast away. 1t will termi-
nate absolutely on Oct. 1 next, and it
may terminate before then at the will Of
its members.
It ispatent on all sides the instant Pier
pont Morgan and August Belmont and
the gentlemen associated with them with
draw their support that another bond
issue must be made 1t is to them credit
is due that the raid on the limit has not
been begun already.
To maintain the surplus intact the syn
dictate was obliged TO deliver Co the gov
ernment on Tuesday and yesterday gold
TO the amount of s3, O0O 600, and yet when
the doors Of the subtreasury closed last
night there were within the vaults only
50, 49,, O6l above the 500, 600, 600 mark.

OYSTER PLANTING IN MARYLAND

Invested In 10 90 do away with 10 now
At present there is good oyster law,
and both Democrats and Republicans are
responsible for its passage
The aot Of 1868 allowed the riparian
own'r to plant oysters. and any other
person could take up five acres Of oyster
bottom, provided that he WAS & citizen OF
the state ana gave the riparian owner
thirty days notice Under this law many
acres Of oyster bottom we're taken up IN
the Annamessex liver, but the money
invested proved a total loss, as the
oysters were stolen and no penalty was
provided
In 1890 nine amendments were made
to this act including three oyster
commissioners to be appointed by the
governor 10 txlmine tie bottoms
easement, exemption OF grassy bottoms
suitable for grabbing, exemption OF
Pocomoke sound. and a penalty OF not
less than 800 OF more than $500, or
from one to three yesrs In the House Of
Correction for the stealing Of oysters
lt also provided a penalty for the
In 1892 these amendments were
repealed and the original law OF 1858
came into force again In 1894 the act
OF 1868 was re enacted and imposed a
fine OF not less than $50 or mtrs than
500 and imprisonment In the House OF
Correction for a period Of three to six
months for the violation Of this law
Under this law over coo acres OF oyster
bottom have been taken up this Summer

there is an oyster law, and that this

Spain to Begin an "Actiye" Cam
paign Next Month.
PROMISE MADE OF FREE ELECTIONS

The Situation Seems to BE That Spain Must
Either Send a Hundred Thousand Troops
or Else Grant the Island of Cuba Com
pIete Autonomy Maceo Unmolested.
here Captain General Martinez de Campos
has received populations from all political
parties His personal popularity makes
everybody glad TO welcome him.
Addressing the Reformistas, he said
that the revolution would probably de-
velop further before the finale. Address
ing the Autonomistas, he stated that it
was his intention to begin an active cam
paign in September against the insurgents
in the province Of Santa Clara, afterward
TO attack the rebels in Puerto Principe
and lastly those in Santiago dc Cuba He
promised that the next municipal cleo
tions should BIO absolutely free, and that
he would personally rectify any case of
coercion reported TO him.
In the course Of a private conversation
Marshal Campos expressed the opinion
that dissension among the leaders would
weaken the insurgent force and that the
rebellion would be crushed before spring,
but there is persistent rumor i'm circles
usually well informed that he has cabled
to Madrid that only two courses are open
20 SUPPLEMENTARY, either TO send 100, 600
troops TO Cuba or to grant the island com.
plote autonomy.
jose AIaceo Not AIolested.
The report that the alcalde Of Sancti
Spiritu has joined the rebellion is untrue.
The average number of deaths from yell
low foyer among tho troops for the last
few weeks has been 1870 daily.
Jose Mnooo has lived for the past three
months on q coffee estate between Santi-
ago dc Cuba and Guantanamo. The gov
crnment is aware Of this, but does not at
tempt to attncl1 him. The insurgents of
this district levy fines from $500 TO 81, 600
on plantations. Maoeo has been resup-
piled with ammunition from an unknown
source.
Insurgents to the number Of 400 attack
ed Port Ramblazo, which is under con-
sruction on the railway to Puerto Prin-
cipe A garrison consisting Of one SER
geant one corporal and II guerrillas
made a heroic defense until Captain Mer-
cado with 40 infantry and 20 guerrillas,
arrived to relieve them. He forced the
insurgents to retire, leaving behind them
