Wheat Jumped Up.

A furry in the price of wheat causco
considerable excitement Monday at tho
Baltimore Chamber Of Commerce. Cash
Western wheat at the close of the mar
kei Jumped up 3 cents bushel, and fol
the day scored an advance of 3! cents i
bushel over the closing price Saturday
Mondays closing figures were: Spot
wheat, SO cents bushel, against .93 on
Saturday; July delivery, S24, against 49,;
August, 16s, against .55; September, .Sss;
against 154.
Graded Southern wheat also showed an
advance Compared with Saturday the
price was q cents bushcl higher at the
close of the market. Prices are now
twenty cents bushel higher than at this
time last year. Receipts Of Southern
wheat are considered fair, number of
schooners loaded with this wheat arriving
daily from Eastern Shore sections.
The gossip of the different markets at
tribute the advance to ovcrsales OF July
wheat, causing considerable shortage IN
deliveries In the local market the arrival
in port of Il number of vessels chartered
to take cargoes of wheat to foreign mar
kets was a factor in the advance. These
vessels will make heavy Withdrawals from
the stock in the elevators, and this feature
helped to move prices up to 4 higher level.
Reports from other grain centres genei-
ally indicated light receipts, showing that
grain was not being moved freely by the
railroads. Recent rains have retarded the
shipment of grain from some sections, es-
peciallv from Western Maryland Advlces
were received by some brokers that owing
to the small stocks which mllers have
been carry ing considerable buyingis going
on to cover the shortage. y report from
Duluth, Mimi, said that New York eX-
porters were bidding July prices for Au-
gust shipments of wheat. st. Louis re-
ported large buying for French markets.
In some quarters the increase in prices
is regarded as only temporary furry,
and it was predicted that when the move
ment Of the crop gets fairly under way
more regular prices will be maintained.
Just now the urgency of shipments is de-
clarcd to be the chief cause of the increase
in prices.

The talk among sportsmcn at the pre-
sent time is all about the coming recdbird
season, which is rapidly approaching.
Every indication argues that this year is
going to be one of the biggest for the
toothsome reedbrd that Maryland hunt
tiers have enjoyed for a long time. Re
ports from the marshes along the Gun
powder and up the PatuXcnt and Patapsco
Rivers says that there is an unusual
supply of food for them, and that the
crops of wild oats are extensive Last
year the season commenced unusually
early, and reedbirds were shot in Mary
land before August ). But last season
the food supply was by no means as plenti-
full as it promises to be this year, and the
birds will come in much greater numbers,
say the shooters.

HAVANA, CUBA. June 23.-Cuban Gen.
eral Chucho Monteagudo has begun to
take retaiiatory measures against the
Spaniards for outrages committed by their
guerrilla forces in Santa Clara province
Monteagudo, for more than three months,
has been asking permission from Gomez
to retaliate, on the ground the humane
policy pursued by Gomez was met by the
enemy with the massacre of sick and
wounded prisoners in hospital and the
assassination of prisoners of war. At last
Gomez sent permission to Monteagudo to
act as he desired if, after the first warn
ing to the Spaniards, they should con-
tinue their inhuman conduct. Montea-
guido sent warning to the Spanish mill
tary commander at Santa Clara, and the
answer came in the form of raid upon
a Cuban hospital by the guerrilla force of
Camajuani and the murder of sick Cuban
officer and Q mum Der of nurses.
Monteagudo then prepared the ambush
for Camajuani and his men at a place
named Palo Brieio. where they often
went in search of cattle. The Spaniards
fell into the am bush and hard hand-to-
hand fight ensued. One Spanish captain
and seventeen soldiers were killed and

thirty-five Spanish soldiers and one lieu
order.
A few minutes after the engagement
was over Monteagudo hanged his thirty
six prisoners on the spot.
iii on don't treat US as belligerents,"
he wrote again to the Spanish commander
a. Santa Clara, 'and if you continue to
murder our prisoners we will treat you as
bandits"
This is the beginning of the terrible re.
taliation which WeyIer's methods have
provoked and which will soon extend to all
the provinces. Spaniards are not showing
any signs of being deferred from their
barbarous work. This morning Tomas
Amores, Antonio Jordan and Isidro Car
mona were shot in the Cabanas Fortress,
"for having helped" the revolution, which
means they suffered death merely because
of their sympathy for the Cubans. The
three men had not taken up arms against
Spain, but were arrested while peacefully
engaged in their vocations at home Al
Trinidad over 400 hundred peaceful coun-
trymen have been ncentrated by order
of Weyler. They were driven to the town
in an awful condition of misery by the
column of General Prats. Weyler gave
strict orders not to allow them 10 seek any
food outside the town.
La Lucha publishes to-day another bit
ter editorial against Consul General Lee,
who is said by that newspaper to be a
Ounce, maIiciously acting against the
Spanish. This article and an earlier one
in Diario de la Marina, in which Lees
conduct was said to be dangerous for his
personal safety" if he continued to anger
Spaniards was directly inspired by Wey-
ler. before the latter left Havana yester-
day. Weyle- and his friends hope the
campaign through the press against Lee
will induce the American administration
to recall him. Lee pays no attention to
these attacks, and is not disturbed in the
least by the threats of the newspaper.
In Matanzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio
provinces the insurgents are showing
great activity. On an average of forty en-
-agements a day have been fought with
Spanish columns. The provisions of the
Cuban army, which were scarce last
month, are now plentiful. Stores in the
swamp OF Zapata abound with food and
ammunition.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 23.-Murat
Halstead. who is credited with authorita-
tive knowledge of the Cuban war, in the
Herald says the Rothschilds have notified
Spain that they will refuse to loan more
money to her after July 1. This Is of i'm
portance, because Spain's loans have been
placed in France and Belgium exclusively.
England and Germany shut down on
Spain long ago
THE reason given by the French banks,
representing the Rothschilds, for stop
ping money for the Cuban war is that
there has been no result, and the possi-
bility of getting the money out of the
island by Spain is now TOO remote to con-
slider"
Halstead concludes that this means

ment stations a large amount of sugar
beet seed, with q view to determining
the feasibility OF growing the seed in
