Ne Such a Wild Market Seen Since the
Times of the War

Chicago, Oct. 2o-Wheat showed an
advance yesterday morning on the
strength of foreign reports and even
at the turn affairs took. Old board
of trade men declared that not since
the war tiIies have such wild markets
beer seen and they point at yesterday
mornings wild opening and recent pre-
cedinS events in confirmation of their
statements Opening as the morning
did with big jump from Saturdays
prices and reports from Liverpool Of
ar unparalleled rise in prices there the
spectulators had good opportunity to
watch the effect of the persistent bull
ing of the market.
A Portland message said that the
export movement from that port last
week amounted to SOC. 900 bushels. which
was the largest week on record. The
worlds shipments were about 600 00o
less than last week. Reports from all
quarters indicate a gloomy outlook for
the bears. The Danube shipments fell
Oft 100000 bushels to less than 1000, =
900. Northwestern receipts were again
smaller than last week of last year.
and in reviewing the situation the opin-
ion was advanced that there was
tn be a decided shortage in the world
supply of breadstuffs. and. in conse-
quence. the importing countries are
competing with each other TO get
possession of the available visible sup
ply at the earliest possible moment.
Armour is thought to have been one
of the heaviest buyers yesterday He
was on the selling side last week
around zoe for December wheat. hut
it is said that in doing this he has
only repeated former tactics. for not
long ago he sold out the bulk of his
holdings around s5c and the market
subsequently went up to sec. His buy
ing yesterday was accepted as an in
dication that he has met with a change
of mind and believes higher prices will
follow.

All was excitement in Havana and
the Quays and house-tops were lined
with hundreds of persons who expected
to see the Vigilancia fired upon. Con-

through glass. Meanwhile signals
were being exchanged between View

the latter place there were signs OF
great excitement. Slowly the Vigilan-

If the Spanish authorities had taken

line steamer Vigilancia while that ves-
sci was in Havana harbor last Friday
United States warships would have
Immediately been ordered to Havana
to enforce q demand for reparation and
war between this country and Spain
would have undoubtedly resulted. For
three hours last Friday the United
States and Spain were on the brink
Of war. and the threatening situation
was only relieved when the Spanish
authorities ignominiously backed down
and allowed the Vigilancia to proceed
to sea with Fernandez still on board.
a letter received here from a corre-
spondent in Havana who is close to
Consul General Lee gives a dramatic
account of the episode.
Threatened to Sink the Ship.
According to the letter, when the
Figilancia put into Havana the Span
ish authorities demanded the surrender
of Senior Angel Fernandez, Mexican
on board the vessel. The Spaniards
alleged that Fernandez was not a Mex
lean. but a subject of Spain. Captain
John Mcintosh. of the Vigilancia. re-
fused to surrender Fernandez. Then
the Spanish authorities told Mcintosh
that if the Vigilancia attempted to go
to sea with Fernandez on board she
would be sunk by the guns of Moro
Castle. Captain Mcintosh Immediate
~ laid the matter before Consul Gen.
eral Lee. who complimented the captain
on his bravery and told him to take
the Vigilancia to sea when he pleased.
Consul Lee Puts His Foot Down.
Consul Lee was greatly enraged at
the threat to sink the Vigilancia, and
is reported to have said to Captain
Mcintosh: IF the guns of MORO
Castle sink your ship, American war
ships will be bombarding Havana in
a few days" Captain Mcintosh re-
turned to the Vigilancia and Consul
Lee informed Weyler that the vessel
was going to sea. and that If any at
tempt was made to take off Fernandez,
or IL the vessel was fired upon, Spain
must take the consequences.
