SAN PEDRO HA RBOR.
Uhite's Resolution BUt Fail of Passage
Through the House.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 2o.-The
resolution introduced in the Senate by
White. and which passed that body. di-
recting the Secretary of War to advertise
for bids for the construction of San Pedro
harbor, will fail OF passage through e
House. Representative Barlow OF Cali
fornia appeared before The House Rules
Committee yesterday to urge that a rule
be made setting a time for the considera-
tion os the resolution. Bailey and Nc
Millin of The Rules Comm ttee voted for
Barlow's resolution, DalZell and Hender-
son against it, and Speaker Reed cast the
deciding vote against Barrow. The Cali
fornla Congressman is verv much disa D.
pointed. He has worked very hard to Sc
cure recognition for the resolution. He
does not believe that anything can be
done until next winters session, when he
will renew his efforts. In the meantime
nothing will be done by the War Depart
m ent, notwithstanding reports to the
contrary.

Merchants Ruined by Forced Con-

HAVANA, CUBA, July 20-The financial
distress of the Spanish Govern N ent in
Cuba shown by the following figures:
$40 COO 600 is due since January to the reg
ular army and SIS 600. 900 to the navy 1t
is estimated thai the ordinary budget will
close this year with a deficit of over
$50, 900 600 Not only is money lacking
for paying the soldiers, bu also for buy
ing provisions and clothing. Food may
be taken by force in the country towns, as
Weyler is doing now, but clothes are
more difficult to obtain. The Spanish
soldiers now present pitiful spectacies.
They are dressed in rags and resemb bic an
army of tramps.
In the streets of Havana they beg cop
pers from passers-by and enter houses
asking for bread. In many cases their
misery has com PEELED them 10 steal and,
as in Santa Clara week ago. to assassi-
nate. In that city they killed a man who
threatened to inform the officers of their
lawless conduct.
Spanish merchants are the proprietors Of
all groceries, bakeries and meatshops, and
they are the first victims of the poverty of
the army, for they are compelled to sup
ply food TO the soldiers even If they are
ruined by these forced contri ributions.
They begin to realize patriotism costs
too much, ana just as last year Cuban
families emigrated by thousands to the
United States, Mexico and South America,
so now Spanish residents are closing busi-
ness and emigrating by thousands to
Spain.
Spanish steamers leaving the island
were never so crowded as they are to-day.
The newspaper Ell Pals official organ of
the autonomists, which in time of peace
was a daily organ OF great importance,
has no readers now. Its director, Del
Monte. and leading editor Montoro told
Weyler a month ago that the lack OF reve-
nue. of El Pals would compel them to stop
its pu biica tion.
As the Government entertains the hope
that home rule ana reforms" may end
the war through the influence of the au-
Economists II was resolved to subsidiZe
Ell Pals. This was done and the expenses
o. the autonomist newspaper are now a
burden upon the Impoverished Spanish
treasury. But even with its subsidy
Ell Pals prints only 500 copies-a striking
example OF now unpopular the autonomy
i'd ca has become.
Weyler says that With men and ammu-
milton he can stand against the INSURGENTS
two years longer When appealed to for
money be excaims: do the rebels ask
money from their leaders2 Ii they can
fight without salaries may not Spaniards
do the same?'
Heavy desertions of Spanish soldiers
make a general revolt by no means i'm
probable, and such an event may be the
end of Spain's rule in Cuba.

GOLD FROM ENGLAND.

New York, Aug. ga dispatch to
the World from London says: Il do
not anticipate any private shipments of

States this autumn said Hugh Smtef
governor of the Bank of England, to
the World reporter There may be
some from the continent-from France

cerned 1 see no reason at present to
believe we shall be sending away any
considerable quantity of gold We have
very fair harvest here he contin-
ued; mot enough. of course for our
wants, but more abundant than the
average. Besides that it is probable
that the buying back of American Sc

to equalize matters, redressing what
ever balance there may be-

The difficulty of the B. & o. company

among the soundest of American Sc

with it has had a bad effect"
Then 1 may take it that banking
opinion here is that American securi-

Yes; there is a feeling that Amer1-

Today will witness an important

New York, Aug. 25.-The weekly
crop report of the agricultural depart
ments at Washington was the depres-
sing influence upon the stock market
today, as it was stimulating influence
upon the prices of wheat and corn.
The opinion expressed in the govern
ment report of unfayorable condition
of the corn crop and of impaired yield
in the spring wheat crop was of some
import to the grain carrying roads,
but did not have a marked effect on
the values. There were various times
during the day when a struggle was
made against the prevalent depression,
and when prices seemed embarked
upon an upward course. But the fact
would recur that large part of the
long advance in the price of the grain
carrying roads has been predicted upon
the abundant grain crop which it was
expected was to be moved and prices
would turn downward again.
Prices above yesterdays closing at
any time during the day are excep-
tional and these where they mounted
above the close are still fewer. The
fact that settlementeday on the London
exchange developed no short interest
or covering demand was to some eX-
tent disappointing to the bulls. The
heaviness in all departments of the
London exchange growing out of the
evidence of the serious affection in the
northwest frontier of the Indian en-
pire, expressed sympathetic influence
in the market. Commission house buy
ing was on a much reduced scale and
there was a lull of the activity on the
part of the large moneyed interests
which have been prominent in the
market recently. The sales fell to a
total of not more than one-third of
that shown by the dealings on some
days of the recent period of activity.
The extreme dullness at the decline
indicated healthy tone of the market,
the liquidation at no time being heavy,
and the resistance at a given point be-
ing very firm. The market enjoyed an
occasional rally under the leadership
of some individual stock which was in
fluenced by development especially
affecting it. A simultaneous rise in
Sugar, Tobacco, Starch and Bay State
Gas at another time rallied the mar
ket. A selling movement in the last
half hour of trading carried prices to
the lowest of the day and left the gen
eral list fractionally below last nights
level. Northern Pacific preferred was
a weight on the market owing to it's
poor showing of earnings.
The bond market showed less weak
ness than stocks, prices being generally
higher.
