WASHINGTON, May 19.-Fighting Bob
Evans Of the United States navy does not
approve Of the Cuban policy of the admin.
istration, and when he was in Washington
a few days ago he frankly told the presi-
dent So He thinks this government
ought to show its sympathy with the in
surgents and take hand in the shindy.
II he had his way, he would drive the
Spaniards out of Cuba entirely and annex
the island to the United States. He gave
the president some powerful arguments to
sustain that view of the case, but the pres
ident begged off and referred Fighting
Bob to Secretary Olney who, he said, was
looking after the Cuban business So
when Captain Evans was in Washington
he called upon the secretary of state and
was introduced by Assistant Secretary
MoAdoo of the navy department, who is
also Cuban sympathizer in secret.
Captain Evans expressed his views with
great freedom to the secretary Of state, as
he did to his friend, the president, and
among other things he said:
"Mr. Secretary, the battleship Indiana,
which have the honor to command, is
the fastest fighting machine aloat, and II
you will give the word will go down, to
Cuba and with her alone will undertake
90 clean out the entire Spanish feet.
The secretary of state smiled, but re-
mained silent.
"See here, Mr.. Secretary" continued
the captain earnestly, "wouldn't you like
to have me cruise down around Cuba and
bring home box of fine Havana olRarsS"
''I don't smoke" was the secretary's
curt reply.
Captain Evans bowed obediently to the
decision and said goodby, but he could
not conceal bis disappointment. When he
left the seUretary's office, he remarked in
an undertone to Mr.. McAdoo that If they
would only give him a chance in Cuba
with his battleship "no language but
Spanish would be spoken in hell for the
next five years.

NEW ORLEANS, May 13. Passengers on

Mobile for Puerto Cortez, Honduras, re-
port that the steamer Bermuda Is now in
that harbor, having succeeded In landing

guns and maohetes on the Cuban coast,
where they were received by detachment
of the Cuban army and taken 20 the into
rior The Bermuda encountered greater
difficulties In landing her cargo this time
than on her first trip to Cuba. The Span
iards seem to have received some warning
of the place that she would land, for a
cruiser was In waiting there, which gave
chase to the Bermuda as soon as she hove
in sight The American vessel was the
faster and got out of range She returned
the next day, landed her arms and ammu-
milton and turned them over to officers Of
the Cuban army, but had barely landed
them when the Spanish cruiser again
came into sight and fred one gun at the
Bermuda, which soon escaped. The Ber-
muda Is now loading with bananas for
New York, which port she win reach in a

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Jan. H.-The outcome of prices for wheat today proved sfortunate for those who shave been all along feeling for the top Boint. Nothing encouraging enough to hand at the opening and the feeling was rather heavy, but during the first half hour the sentiment became stronger, few be- lated shorts deemlng it incumbent that bulge, but about noon Bradstreets report appeared to worry buyers and holders It gave a decreased worlds visible supply of only 1,937, 900 bushels where the talent had of from 3000,000 to 100000 bushels. From that time until the close there was nothing in the condition of the market to commend it to would-be- e-purchasers. May opened at closing at 61A@61Ac, lac under yesterday: Cash wheat sold at firm prices, but closed weak with the futures.
 Corn-Traders paid strict attention to the operations thereby. It was not dull mar ket nor yet particularly active. Almost a total disregard for information was seen. May corn opened at 29Ac, sold between 291s and 295sc, closing at 291sQ29Ac A@hc under yesterday. Cash corn was easy.
 Oats-The country sold oats, being appa- rently satisfied with the gains achieved in the recent past The tone of the market was similar to that of wheat and corn, and the same course was pursued. May oats closed k@Ac lower than yesterday. Cash oats were firm

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Jan. 2L-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined slightly early but rallied and advanced, closing steady at a net rise of to 10 points, with sales of 1S1, 800 bales.
 Todays features: Liverpool made very satisfactory response to the rise here on Monday, and this of itself had not little to do with the advance here today. Theen El- lison'S circular was bullish, good export movement was moderate, Fall River was firm, Manchester advices were more en- couraging and there was not only pretty good demand from the shorts, but better demand from outside operators. If cotton continues to show strength 1t Is reasonable to suppose that speculation will broaden. Spot cotton was higher. Futures can be purchased here to better advantage than spot cotton in some markets. A Fall River dispatch said Manufacturers tenacious ly stick to 3 cents for regular cloths. It is stock of raw cotton at the ports Is owned in Europe" Finally there was Ellison's circular. MT. Ellison states that the pres ent consumption per week in Great Britain is 5000 bales, and on the continent 100O0 bales. He estimates the stock in spinners' hands in Great Britain on January 1 at 10000 bales. and on the continent at 4H000 bales. He adds that even estimating the crop at ,000,000 bales, and then allowing for a. continuance for the present consumption, the stocks in European ports at the end of the season will be only 5lo.ooo bales, against 1,605, 900 bales last year, and that European mills will hold at the end of the season only 300. 900 bales, against 5GS.0 900 bales last year.

In Wall Street.

New York; Jan. 21.-Business at the stock exchange continues dull. The opening of the market was strong, prices in the first half hour having advanced A@1H per cent. The rise was based on Washington ad- vices that the outlook for a speedy settle ment of the Venezuelan boundary question had improved. The impression that the government bond loan will be heavily over subscribed also led to some buying at this time. The engagement of g, ,5o0. 900 of gold bars for shipment to Europe, announced at an early hour, was ignored so far as the stock market was concerned, and the ru- mors ofheavy shipm ent late in the week also fell fiat. In the afternoon the indus trials and Western Union ruled weak. Chi cago Gas fell from 66le to 64h on reports from Chicago that the secretary of state of illinois,, on the advice of Attorney General Maloney had refused to accept consolida- tion papers of the reorganization commit tee.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. N.-(Speca1)-Fo the first time in many days the cotton market showed considerable animation today. Liv- erpool was about 3-64d higher, and de- cided rise took place here. March opened at 7.9S, receded to TEA, and then rallied, mainly under the influence of heavy buy ing by a prominent commission house. ad- vancing to S.07. Realizing sales caused a reaction of a few points, but the demand continued brisk until the close, which was steady with sos bid for March. Opinions are about evenly divided tonight as to whether the advance eliminated today or will continue the bearish feeling that has prevailed here for so long has certainly re- ceived rude check, and there are plenty of traders now who believe in lively ad- vance and think it has only begun. Much will depend upon the attitude of Liverpool and the receipts from day to day.
